Charlotte, NC Getting A New Restaurant With Rooftop Bar

Author Chris Allen

Axios says that Charlotte’s South End will soon have a new place to wind down after work. State of Confusion is a popular restaurant in Chattanooga, Tennessee. It’s known for its expansive menu, cocktails, and family-friendly environment.

From the same owners as STIR in South End, State of Confusion promises to offer something for everybody.

The two-story building is roughly 9,000 square feet and can seat 500-600 people. Owner Jamie Walton said, “It’ll be dog-friendly and family-friendly.”

The rooftop will have cabanas, inspired by the owners’ trips to Miami. The downstairs area will have an outdoor patio with a grill, fire pits, large games like Connect Four, and picnic tables for seating. The main indoor dining room will have murals and a large bar, with the large kitchen as its centerpiece.

Everything will be made from scratch. They’ll also have an Argentinian wood fire grill, which they’ll use to make steak and burgers. The owners sent their executive chef to Peru for two weeks to learn how to make ceviche “from the best.” Their brunch menu will also include chicken and funnel cakes breakfast burritos and breakfast burgers. In addition to beer and seltzers, they’ll also have three cocktails on draft. Enjoy the hurricane, a margarita, and the “Tropa,” an Aperol cocktail with papaya puree.

State of Confusion is at 255 Clanton Road. It should open its doors in March.

9 Peculiar Roadside Attractions You'll Find In North Carolina

There’s something just so American about roadside attractions. We’ve all been on the family road trip and seen the gimmicky roadside attractions they hope you’ll stop at. No matter what part of the country you are traveling through you will find these tourist traps on backroads. I’m sorry to admit I have never stopped, even though there are a lot of rather interesting roadside attractions in North Carolina. I did drive by one mentioned on the list, in Thomasville, on my way to a dance competition years ago. Couples were taking prom photos in front of a giant chair. That memory has stuck with me for years!

Several ‘world’s largest” items on this list include furniture, frying pans, and a religious reference. There are also some things I’d classify as ‘oddities’ a term I can’t remember the last time I used. And finally, there are just some interesting attractions you may have not known our state had. So the next time you’re on a road trip maybe you’ll find a reason to stop and stretch your legs. Have you ever been to any of these locations? Did we miss any? Let us know on social media! Here are 9 of the most peculiar roadside attractions in North Carolina.

 

  • World's Largest Chest of Drawers- High Point, NC

    Of course, the furniture capital of NC is home to the world’s largest chest of drawers. Stop by the next time you’re in High Point.

  • World's Largest Ten Commandments- Murphy, NC

    Need the inspiration to be a good person? Perhaps a visit to the World’s Largest Ten Commandments in Murphy, NC.

  • Vollis Simpson Whirligig Park and Museum- Wilson, NC

    What’s a whirligig you ask? Actually not a word someone made up. You can see a whole park full of them in Wilson, NC.

  • Satellite Park-Durham, NC

    Those sometimes ugly satellites are a world of art in Durham, NC. Perhaps even a good location for an Instagram photo.

  • Shangri La Stone Village- Prospect Hill, NC

    This stone village is a sight to be seen. VIsit the Shangri La Stone Village in Prospect Hill, NC.

  • Belhaven Memorial Museum- Bellhaven, NC

    Does the world’s creepiest museum sound enticing to you? Visit it in Bellhaven, NC.

  • World's Largest Duncan Phyfe Chair- Thomasville, NC

    I actually came across this roadside attraction while in Thomasville for a dance competition. There were couples taking prom pictures in front of it.

  • Giant Concrete Legs- Henderson, NC

    I’d file this one under the creepy category as well. Who asked for giant concrete legs? Was it the town of Henderson?

  • World's Largest Frying Pan- Rose Hill. NC

    The worst part about the world’s largest frying pan is that it is actually used. That’s where I draw the line.
