I had an enjoyable experience. I ordered the NYC falafel which, although it could be a bit larger,…read morewas very good. The default side was fries and I asked if there were any substitutions. One was a small side Caesar salad which I got. I was disappointed in the continuing practice for restaurants to charge for small changes like this within informing the customer. Waitress was very nice, however and attentive. What is also quite unique about the restaurant was that you could order small 4 oz beers, just for tasting at $2-3 each. The place is quite large and must get incredibly noisy at times with the hard surfaces and multiple TVs. There is an option to sit directly at the bar or at tables.

I ordered takeout from The Degenerate, and overall, I really enjoyed my meal! I tried the pork and…read morefried green tomato sliders, dry-rub chicken wings, and pierogies. The wings were AMAZING, and the sliders were absolutely delicious! They were so good that I devoured them before I even thought to take a picture! Unfortunately, the pierogies were the one disappointment, especially since they were actually the main reason I decided to order from here. They were a bit too greasy for my taste. After eating two, I ended up placing the rest on a paper towel to absorb some of the excess oil, which unfortunately made them less enjoyable. That being said, I would definitely eat at The Degenerate again. I'd happily order the wings and sliders again, but I would probably skip the pierogies next time unless they're one of those dishes that are simply better enjoyed fresh at the restaurant rather than as takeout. Overall, there were definitely more hits than misses, and those sliders and wings alone are worth another visit!

It was nicely decorated and the outside area was a vibe, it was just too hot to stay out there. The drinks were overpriced and the bartender was not friendly. Bottled water was $7. Make sure you see the itemized receipt because they automatically charge gratuity but won't say anything. They just give you a price of the drinks. When my friend asks to see the screen, the bartender rolled his eyes and turned the screen around and that's how we saw the gratuity. Everyone has probably been double tipping. There are so many other places in Charlotte with the same vibe and drinks that are worth the price. I don't think we will be returning.

This was a completely impromptu visit but I think I found one of my favorite places! I was visiting…read morethe nearby Bohemian Wine Bar with my girlfriend, and she was dismayed that they were out of this hard ginger beer she really enjoys. One of the employees informed her that The Hop Shop is owned by the same owner, and has it on tap! So we decided to take a walk over and visit. I had heard of this place tucked away behind Moo & Brew but had never visited which I now realize is a mistake, and I have been missing out. They are part bottle shop and part tap room, but more than that this place feels like a welcoming and chill neighborhood hang out. There was a live musician singing and playing guitar of both covers and some of his original tracks. There was a fluffy dog hanging out in one the chairs like he owned the place. They have several seating options from large wooden tables to soft plush sofas, even some swinging couches hanging from the ceiling. The walls are vibrant and full of murals, and the whole space just feels alternative but still approachable and not pretentious. In other words this place seemed very much at home in Plaza Midwood one of the coolest neighborhoods in Charlotte. We ended up staying far longer than originally planned just because we were loving the vibes. I can't wait to visit again.

The pimento was my favorite, but the beer cheese -with a yummy smokiness- and the mustard -with the nice sweetness of honey-were delicious. I was happy with the NA options as well-they carry a variety of Best Day NA beer. My love said his beer was okay, but he wouldn't go out of his way to come back. The service was okay, nothing particularly welcoming. The ambiance was very loud. They had live music that was good, but it was really loud making it hard to chat.

You truly can't go wrong with any of their wings, the buffalo chicken wontons, or the Anchor Bar Buffalo. It's also wonderful to see them paying homage to the former legend that once occupied the exact same space, Zada Jane's with a delicious sandwich carrying the same name.

They have a bunch of different weekly things that go on here such as movie nights and so on.

The only men I saw here were with women and I think that was 3 including mine ABSOLUTELY coming back with friends and ordering a bunch of appetizers and drinks everything here looks as good as it tastes and the drinks are strong!

They've been here 2.5 years and from my first experience , they are absolutely crushing it. Dim lighting, beautiful bar design in a smaller space, and 90's-2000's hip hop was the perfect mix for a chill Friday night. Niaget took care of us at the bar (please forgive me if I got the spelling wrong!) and she is clearly a well trained mixologist. Cocktail menu is unique and the ingredients might seem a little far out, but trust the process. The drink pictured below was a bourbon-based (Old Forrester) custom cocktail that Niaget threw together. Hints of pineapple & mint mixed with my favorite brand bourbon made this an honest treat. I will be tossing this cocktail bar onto my favorites list and can't wait to go back.

Camp North End has grown a lot since I first visited around the time they opened. This growth has…read morebrought a lot more visitors and these visitors usually are looking for somewhere they can grab a cold drink. Luckily for them there are plenty of good options, one of which is The Free Range Bar! Free Range Brewing is one of the older Charlotte breweries that has been around since 2015 during the height of the craft beer craze. Due to their years of fostering a community, it is no surprise to me that they were able to open up a satellite tap room years later. This second location is smack dab in Camp Northend surrounded by plenty of patio seats outside, and featuring a quaint little barroom inside. This smaller tap room has a more intimate setting. The people working there are friendly and they have a variety of beers to try along with other beverages if beer isn't your thing. While I don't think this is a replacement for the original, it does a good job paying homage, and provides great beer options for Camp Northend. If you enjoy it here and haven't visited their OG brewery then consider this your intro and go check it out!

I enjoyed perusing their bottle and can offering a of beer/wine. I looked at their cocktail menu and settled on a French 75 - I don't even like gin that much but the prosecco offsets it enough! The bartender was great- patient, friendly and just the epitome of quality service! My drink was not crisp cold the way I like and when I asked for ice she told me they don't have any. Not a big deal, but still kind of weird to me. I got a single sauv blanc can and a bottle of pet nat rose to go to bring to a gathering later, and the bartender (I wish I had caught her name) said the bottle used to be available by the glass and was really good! I asked for a small bag to help me carry everything and again they didn't have anything. Definitely smaller, maybe nitpicky things on my end, but I do want to highlight that the service/hospitality here is top notch.
