Charlotte’s coziest bar just made national headlines

Esquire just named Plaza Midwood’s own Lorem Ipsum one of the 15 best bars in America—and it’s only been open for two years! This isn’t your typical cocktail spot. Owner Justin Hazelton, a former DJ, built the place around music, art, and community vibes. Think: low lights, plants, curated playlists, and a true sense of belonging—especially for people of color. No dress codes, no pretension, just great drinks and even better company. They host local DJs and artists, and every visit feels like a new experience. What do you think makes a bar truly special? #Food #CharlotteNC #PlazaMidwood

Century Plant’s Wild Bloom Turns Heads

A giant agave just pulled off its once-in-a-lifetime bloom in Plaza Midwood and people can’t stop snapping pics! This “century plant” waited decades to shoot up a 30-foot flower stalk—then, just like that, it’s done and the main plant dies. But don’t worry, it leaves behind baby agaves (aka pups) for the next generation. If you caught this rare sight, you’ve basically witnessed plant history! #Home #PlazaMidwood #CenturyPlant
