After friends, Yelpers, and my AirBnB host demanded I go to the Noda Company Store, I couldn't resist. Nothing screams "NoDa" like the company store. It's earthy, laidback vibe is inviting for anyone. They've got a variety of beers on tap, sangria, and some cans/bottles in the fridge. There's plenty of indoor and outdoor seating. The bartender was incredibly helpful and let us try a few beers before making our decision. This is also the home of the NoDa Farmer's Market on Saturdays, another must-see in NoDa. This is my new favorite spot in CLT. AND it's dog friendly!!
