Welcome to the Canteen! We'd love to host your next event, corporate get together or private party. . We are located in the Camp North End (CNE) campus adjacent to Uptown Charlotte. CNE is a 76-acre site and we are adjacent to the Boileryard, a 1+ acre open communal space / patio used for festivals, concerts, large food events and parties. We are an operating bar/lounge and have a full menu of local beer, wine by the bottle or glass, wine based sangrias, canned cocktails, sake as well as a large selection of non-alcoholic beverages. We have hours available for private events and semi-private events. Our interior space is 1800 sf with art filled walls covered in lively, tropically inspired murals punctuated with 2 live 15' tall palm trees and a custom green wall. We have a large 10x40 elevated "porch" overlooking the Boileryard. Our setting is both tropical and elegant, open & airy and ready for your event! Our staff is welcoming and accommodating and happy to help make your event perfect! We can accommodate events up to around 70 - 75 people inside and on our terrace + the patio / open area beside us that your guests would have full access to. That space holds events in the hundreds and includes tables, chairs, swings, outdoor games and more. CHILDREN: While our space is certaintly kid friendly, we are a bar / lounge and are set up as such. Parties and events need be ADULT CENTERED rather than child centered (i.e. a childs birthday party with mostly children). FOOD Guests are welcome to bring food or set up catering of their choice, we don't have a kitchen or food though we do have plenty of snack options. **We provide all beverage services, no outside beverages permitted** Outdoor bar and bar service also available for 50 - 200 but subject to campus wide calendar availability. Send us a request with your planned activity, date, and number of guests - we can check on availability. OUR BEVERAGES We serve non-alcoholic beverages (regular sodas, craft sodas, kombucha, lemonades, sparkling & still water, cold brew coffee, etc), local draft beers and homemade wine-based sangrias, canned cocktails, sake, wine & various canned and bottled brews. We are known for our frozen NoDaColada when it's warm out or our special blend mulled wine to knock off the chill of winter nights (sip on one by the wood burning fire pits!). NO OUTSIDE BEVERAGES ALLOWED TO BE BROUGHT IN MUSIC: We have a hardwired system and our music lists are through Spotify - we don't have and aren't set up for DJs inside and outside DJs will have to be approved by Camp North End. If your event is a private event we can play your playlist ***set up through spotify*** through our system with your provided playlist.

It’s a wonderful space and you really don’t need many decorations! We rented this space for a Baby Shower where we were initially planning on having 35 people, but ended up with 70! Our host Scott was great! Very accommodating especially since the jump in numbers! He answered all of our questions! Tia,the manager was onsite to guide us through! Mike was an amazing bartender and very helpful as well! We couldn’t be happier with the experience! Everyone arrived and had a great rime! Thanks for helping us create lasting memories!

It was a really wonderful venue - I hosted my engagement party here and the uniqueness and beauty of this venue was everyone’s comment. Scott was very easy to work with. I love the 2 access doors as it really helped with any congestion if you have a large list of people.

Scott was super fast in communicating and covered all bases. Everything was as he said it would be! Our bartender was kind and helpful. We used the space for a sip and see and hired a food truck to park outside. Our guests loved the space, the restrooms were clean, and we had a great time!

I would absolutely recommend this location for a private event. The colorful decor gave a relaxed atmosphere that our attendees enjoyed.

10/10. Canteen was the perfect space to host a laid-back Christmas party with my friends. The space was large and had plenty of seating for us to be able to even move chairs around into a big circle to play our gift exchange. Scott (the owner) was very quick to respond whenever I had a question and everything ran smoothly. The only small detail I wish I had known beforehand is that the bar only sells wine/beer and not any liquor. Luckily our event was more laid-back and no one really complained, but if you are looking for a more upbeat party vibe then maybe ask if it’s possible to bring liquor for your party. Other than that the space was amazing, the bartender was nice, the owner is great, and I’d highly recommend renting this space for your event. I’d definitely rent again given the opportunity.
