“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.“

The best friend had a beer which was amazing (i tried it) but the people were even more amazing. Everyone was super nice. There is a variety of vendor sit up selling everything from t-shirts to crystals to art. To hot dogs.... If you're ever in Charlotte by highly recommend if you like a good beer.“

“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!!!“

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!“

Fonta Flora Brewery - Optimist Hall Bar •
1115 N Brevard St ste d, Charlotte

“Popped in after grabbing some food from Optimist Hall. The ambience itself is great, there's a ton of seating options and it was pretty empty when we were there, which was nice.

The beer options were fine. Didn't love any of the IPAs we got but they were pretty standard. I did feel as if it's maybe a more local bar, as the bartenders seemed particularly interested in chatting with those at the bar itself and left us alone unless we were ordering and seemed forgetful we were there afterward. I truly don't understand the vibe of the bathroom decor but enjoyed it.“
