38 Best Craft Breweries in Charlotte

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

“First, very large outdoor and indoor seating available. Over 50 or so brews on tap, as well as wine and liquor options. I had the steak burger with jalapeño slaw, which was ok. Burger was thin but tasty. Slaw wasn't any slaw I've ever seen, kinda dry. Overall, it's a better place to get a brew than food, in my opinion. Would definitely go back.“

“Great place highly recommend!!“

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

“Large beer selection. Fun events.“

“I went with a friend from out of town nice local spot environment“

“Great vibe. Clean. Friendly. Good craft beer. Live music goodn too! #SpendLocal“

“One of the gems in the Nodahood. There seems to be always something going on, the bartenders are great and the beers are cheaper then else where. What else can you ask for?“

“I recently hosted an event at this brewery and I could not be any happier about my decision.

The staff were friendly and flexible to accommodate our requests, and bartenders ensured to make delicious cocktails and drinks for our guests. More importantly Kim was so great with communicating with us throughout the whole process, from the initial talk and planning until the end of the event.

Could not be more satisfied with my experience with this team!!“

“This brewery is fantastic! Everyone is so nice,the selection is amazing, the beers are delicious! The back patio is adorable“

“Big fan of the Trivia Thursday they have, I never miss a week! Plus, the beer selections are awesome!“

“We love Edge City! It's a perfect neighborhood brewery. It's great for families and offers prosecco, wine, etc in addition to beer. We held our daughter's birthday there and they were so accommodating and all the staff was incredibly helpful. It was a perfect indoor outdoor option!!“

“Thanks probably one of the nicest breweries in Charlotte. It feels way more than a club or a study than one of those industrial designed breweries.Its truly a third place, but with beer instead of coffee. Great live music event as well . Petty Thieves is one of those places that I would recommend checking out when visiting Charlotte.“

“Southern Tier brews some of the best beer in the WORLD!!The Charlotte location is a great spot to stop in for a beer, cider or a Southern Tier mixed drink. Today, our bartender Heath worked with the kitchen to accomodate our dietary restrictions. That's TOP NOTCH customer service!!! We love Southern Tier and can't wait for Pumpking to be released.“

“AC/BC is a great place to get a taste of different types of special brew some beer have a unique German taste. Enjoy the atmosphere with friends and family getting together. Grab a bite to eat from the different rotating food trucks that are parked outside on the premises and wash it down with a nice cold brew 🍺. The owner of AC/BC is a great and proud American Veteran who served his country with honors both in peacetime and in combat. You should come in and buy him a beer for his service. Better yet, come in and support his business and celebrate his commitment to the United States of America.“

“Hey, Good (People of) Charlotte, you got a great thing here with Triple C, and if you've slept on it, rectify that. There's a not-subtle stoner vibe present, what with the Grateful Dead(ish) logo. Breweries and stoner vibes go well together. See: Ocelot Brewing near Dulles and Widowmaker Brewing up in Braintree, MA. Service is quick and friendly. Beers tried included one of the better Japanese rice lagers out there, Kei Truck, and their Golden Boy blonde ale. The on-site food truck, Izzy's, is absolutely on point.“

“Great palace hang out and have a beer and food.“

“My Husband and I made the drive down from Burke County to Attend an Oyster Roast and met some really nice folks. Live music was good and even met a few friendly Dogs. We will definitely come back with a few of our Rescued Dogs.“

“Vaulted Oak is Simply the best!“

“Love the art and music events hosted here. Their stage and sound are top notch and the staff is friendly and knowledgeable re:drink selection 🍻“

“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!“

“Best brewery in Charlotte, great beers. Seltzers and non alcoholic waters, friendly staff …. Over great people, great experience“

“Burial is a monument to all that is good in the world! Great Beer, great food, awesome music and ambiance and vibe in general. Certainly a highlight of every trip I make. Could not recommend higher just wish they had a location closer to where I live!“

“Great outdoor band box with lawn seating. Bring your kids, your furry kids, a blanket or a chair.“

“We stopped in for midday lunch and everything was great. The fish& chips was perfectly fried, not too heavy and the fish was fresh. Beer cheese nachos and chicken artichoke flatbread were good too. We enjoyed a beer flight too.“

“Very cool place to hang out. Right on a light rail stop also.“

“Morally bankrupt and disloyal to employees. Will never be back. It might as well just be another condo.“

“I like the environment and the vibe!“

“We had the BEST Mothers Day Brunch today.. the place was packed.. BUT the service was excellent, food was delicious and the vibe was warm and welcoming. Thank you for a great time. I can't wait to return!“

“My group and I came down to Charlotte for a Pride bar crawl. The Local was our second stop and easily one of my favorites. Drinks were yummy. Vibes weee good. Cedric, with security, was amazing. It must have been a full moon because there were so many folks out, acting up and being unusually aggressive. Cedric made our whole experience 10x better. I’ve never felt more safe at an Uptown spot. Thank you CEDRIC and The Local for being a fav along the crawl route!!!“

“Stopped for a lunch just off the interstate. Loved the beers and the food! But Cassie was the icing on the cake. She recommended all great things and gave us a great respite on our work day. We’ll be back!“

“Excellent drinks are good the vibe is awesome!!!“

“I absolutely love Sycamore! Everything there is always amazing. Even though they’re a brewery, they’ve truly mastered their food as well—it’s consistently delicious. But what makes the experience even better is the staff. They’re always super nice, polite, and ready to help.

Today, Tommy and Val went above and beyond. They were so attentive, kind, and welcoming. They truly deserve recognition for doing such an outstanding job and making the visit even more enjoyable.

Sycamore never disappoints, and the people there are a big reason why!“

“un buen sitio para compartir con personas especiales y un agradable ambiente además excelente atención“

“Quick lunch bite… Friendly and attentive bartender… Great environment… Might just end up back there tonight.“

“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.“

“Sadly, the pretzel was OVERly salty.“

“This has been my go-to spot for beer for the past year. They have a large variety as well as cocktails and spirits. If you love beer this is the spot for you whether that’s sour, Pilsner, or pale ale they have you covered. And the staff is amazing helping you every step of the way!“
