World of Beer is as accurate a name as any. They have a lot. And a lot on tap, too. The prices are par for the course and the bartenders and serves do a great job of making sure no one is standing there with an empty glass waiting on help.
I appreciate the support they give the local breweries, featuring a lot of Charlotte microbrews and under-the-radar seasonals and special releases. They do not have a kitchen and get around the "must provide foods" laws by providing menus for places that will provide prompt delivery service. Very clever.
All that said, it's a corporate joint and all that entails, both good and bad. You know what to expect and it's going to be relatively consistent. On the other hand, it lacks the time-weathered warmth of a local establishment and the mood can feel forced (Of course, I feel like most of Southend has that feel, but that's a different discussion).
All in all, it's a great new place with a lot of beers to choose from and it's a great fit for the Southend area that you should stop into and check out.
