    Dandelion Market

    • Dandelion Market was opened in January of 2010 and named for an open-air market in 1970s Dublin. Developed by successful Irish immigrants, whose other Charlotte bars include Connolly's, Madison's, Tyber Creek Pub and the Attic Bar, this concept symbolizes a simpler time, where people came together to share their stories. There are 24 craft beers on tap. All wine is sold by the bottle and can be purchased to go. The food is a selection of small plates, including flatbreads and crostinis. Popular items include sauteed sea scallops with a pomegranate drizzle and the aged Cheddar fondue. Much of the fresh produce is supplied by local farmers.
