Plaza Midwood

First established in 1910 as a streetcar suburb, today Plaza Midwood is known as an eclectic yet relaxed neighborhood with historic homes and a century-old tree canopy.

Art lovers will appreciate photography exhibits and classes at The Light Factory Photo Arts Center. Catch a live band at Snug Harbor or visit legendary dive bar Thirsty Beaver Saloon.

On rainy days, play indoor mini golf at Stroke Putt or try duckpin bowling at Pinhouse. Then shop at Charlotte Collective, befriend plants at Grow, or discover a new novel at I’ve Read It In Books or Book Buyers.

When the sun shines, visit Briar Creek Greenway or the playgrounds, tennis and basketball courts and soccer field at Midwood Park and Veterans Park.

If your stomach is rumbling, sample the amaretto French toast at Zada Jane’s, dressed-up sandwiches at The Common Market or small plates at Soul Gastrolounge.

For an international flair, try Ethiopian dishes at Abugida, Vietnamese food at Pho Hoa, Bosnian meals at Euro Grill & Café, French flavors at Bistro La Bon and Irish fare at The Workman’s Friend. No meal would be complete without homemade ice cream from Two Scoops Creamery! For drinks, breweries like Legion, Resident Culture and Pilot provide relaxation, while The Bohemian Wine Bar promises sophisticated fun. Meanwhile, gorgeous skyline views of Charlotte can be found at Whiskey Warehouse.

In Plaza Midwood, you’ll always find something fun to do!
