35 Best Beer Bars in Charlotte

“My husband and I went for lunch today and the food & service were absolutely incredible. 10/10 recommend!“

“Incredibly fun experience and delicious food! We will be coming back in the future! The crispy pork belly is out of this world!!!“

“Love the CLT Crew! Manager Katy is a BOSS!“

“My son, his GF and I had brunch here this past Saturday and it was beyond delightful! The food and the service were absolutely perfect, and the weather for sitting on the patio couldn't have been better. Our server (Samantha?) was spot on, sweet, and very helpful. We ordered the blintzes, Eggs Benedict with cheddar jalapeño grits, Turkish Eggs, and breakfast tacos with home fries and we split everything. We were all in food paradise for the next hour or so. I have never considered myself to be a blintzes person, but each bite was like a pillow of heavenly sweetness. When we got the check we were all shocked that it was only $65, as we all thought it would be over $100. I can't recommend this place more highly and I will return as often as I can!“

“I had the hamburger at Painted Rooster, and it was absolutely delicious. The flavor was great, and I also really enjoyed the coleslaw. The service was good, and overall I had a very pleasant experience.

My only suggestion would be to make the hamburger a little bigger or offer a larger portion. After finishing the burger and the coleslaw, I was still a little hungry. The quality and taste are definitely there—just a little more food would make the experience even better.

Overall, delicious food, good service, and a place I’d be happy to visit again!“

“The vibes here are always so good. The drinks are amazing too but I think it’s just a little bit of the vibe of a lot more than a few of them and the food was good and I was just a bit of an idiot this was a good idea and a good one to start off the week off right in the first week and I hope it goes smoothly.“

“Love the Ginger Ale I bought at Publix in Alabama!“

“Really nice outdoor fun with good drinks“

“My go to coffee shop in Charlotte. The brown sugar rosemary latte is well done and I’m obsessed with the breakfast sandwiches. I love trying the seasonal specials. It’s always something unique and tasty and the staff is very warm and friendly. Love this place!“

“Great casual place. Service is awesome. Locally owned Bartender Joe is fabulous“

“Visited Matthews, NC few days ago and had lunch here. The food was awesome (I had Jalapeno Poppers and Peter Piper burger), and so was the beer selection (I had a really good blonde ale (cannot recall the name unfortunately)). Service was great, and washrooms were clean. The place has a really cool vibe to it, looks like one would feel at home there while watching sports on one of the many screens.“

“The food is so flavorful and delish! Everytime we come it is wonderful!“

“Neat little place -- love the swings!“

“We hosted our book club social here tonight and had an amazing experience! The staff was incredibly accommodating, friendly, and provided excellent customer service from start to finish. The Craft 75 was absolutely delicious and definitely a highlight of the night. Everyone in our group had a wonderful time, and we’re already looking forward to coming back. Highly recommend!“

“We had an amazing networking event last night! The atmosphere at Protagonist was perfect for our event they had a full AV system which was incredibly helpful. The staff was so accommodating and welcoming. Our guests had a great time! We’ll definitely be back!“

“Just had a delicious lunch at The Southern Pecan. I had the shrimp po’ boy, which was served with a side of fries. Soooo good. Luckily it was too much food so now I have dinner already prepared. Service was excellent - shout out to Lilly!“

“The food and service was great, cozy vibe with great decor and music!“

“Most excellent brew pub around with knowledgeable & gorgeous beer goddesses!“

“So I always come here to see Kelly, she’s the best! But tonight she didn’t work, but still had amazing service. Also want to note I work down the street. I came home tonight and my hands and sweater smells like cinnamon and vanilla. there’s an amazing scent going on in this place. No reason I shouldn’t smell like grease and sweat from my job down the street. Dumbfounded. Maybe their ultra clean bathrooms and soap in there? Idk, but I’m obsessed. About to get the deets on this soap and incense if they use it. I’m sitting here smelling myself“

“I went to the restaurant for the first time and the waiter who served me very well was Gustavo, he is very friendly and attentive. I felt like it was the first time eating Brazilian food. He gave me great recommendations. I really liked his service and whenever I go back I want to be served by him. Thank you very much. It is because of employees like him that the company moves forward.“

“Cool bar, chill atmosphere and great Camp North End location!“

“Staff was friendly and engaging, and made excellent recommendations. Food was delivered quick!! Burger was cooked perfectly and while the fries were good and crisp, the onion rings were INCREDIBLE. Don't forget the chocolate milkshake!! Definitely recommend and will be coming back.“

“This place is fantastic! Went there last night for a networking meeting and was thoroughly impressed. The food, decor, and the live band were so great! Will definitely come back in the future just to hang out, meet for business, or to grab a great bite. The staff was so nice and had me in stitches! A true must visit!“

“We had lunch there today for the first time. The service was outstanding. Our server was so friendly and informative about the menu. We sat on the inside but the outdoor patio looked like a great option as well. Everything was very clean. We had the ribeye sandwich and the jalapeño popper bacon grilled cheese sandwich. They were both excellent but… That grilled cheese! If you go there, you’ve got to order that. It was out of this world good and just the right amount of spicy.“

“Love this place! Great staff and fun atmosphere.“

“I've known Jay for 40 years J&J Tavern is the place to go you don't have to worry about trouble it's a great environment and I highly recommend J&J Tavern“

“This spot is very worth the price you play. The food is outstanding, and the portions are huge. I was greeted friendly at the door, and was able to place my order even coming late. Thank you for an awesome first experience. Highly recommend“

“Atmosphere should be 10 stars!!! There is no better place in North Carolina to watch Brasil play in the World Cup! As a gringo myself, I have never felt a more welcoming environment!! I will definitely come back and recommend to friends! The food was also splendid, and the service was so fast and accurate.“

“My wife and I were greeted for seating enthusiastically and with little wait time. Our server, Sean, gave us specific recommendations for our lunch choices. Let me just say that Sean's recommendations were not only spot on, but the clam chowder and lobster roll were truly the best my wife and I have had in a VERY long time! Sean's friendly service continued throughout our meal, and that really made our lunch before our flight that much more memorable and special! Sean is a class act, attentive, personable and very diligent in providing stellar service...a rare treat these days of endless rushing about. Thank you The Waterman Restauraunt for excellent food and thank you Sean for above and beyond stellar service! We will make it a point to come here first because of these factors!! 5 stars plus!!!“
