Catawba has a big variety of beer, not just IPAs like a lot of CLT breweries. Each location has their own small batches too, so it's not just the beers you've seen other places. Even my IPA-fan husband approves of the CLT IPA.
We've been a handful of times & I'm a fan! The bartenders are great, not beer snooty... I love Farmer Ted's and that's okay here. Their space is large inside/medium outside with 2 big bars. It would be perfect for a large group since there are a lot of big tables.
They usually have a food truck & live music on Fridays. Think I saw they're also doing Monday trivia.
