Breaking Nightlife News: Cans is Closed ... (for real)

Posted by Brittney Cason on Mon, Nov 16, 2009 at 1:03 PM

According to owner/operator Jay Runnfeldt, Cans has closed its doors. This is not a rumor, the lid on the can is officially closed. I wish a can opener would open it back up thought because Cans has been a staple of Charlotte nightlife for the past few years, and we will miss it more than MC Hammer misses money and David Spade misses Chris Farley.

But when one door closes another one opens. Such as ...

• Dandelion Market ...

A small plate party place brought to us by the management team of Madison's, Connoley's, Tyber Creek Pub and The Attic. Opening in mid-December in the old Latorres restaurant location between Fiji and Basil, Dandelion Market will have 2 levels, 2 full bars, 24 craft style beers on tap, and 30 menu items ranging from $4-$15. Oh, and a coffee shop.

• The Wooden Vine is coming soon to a bar near you ... as in Zink on Tryon.

• Speaking of wines and vines, The Grape at Northlake Mall is now Forte and they offer live jazz every Wednesday.

• Cyros Sushi and Sake Bar is opening soon in South Park.

• Twenty-Two in Plaza Midwood and The Liberty on South Boulevard both recently opened, too, which you can read about on Creative Loafing's new comprehensive nightlife blog @LARGE

  • As one place closes its doors, other doors are opening.
