Sycamore Brewery boasts one of the best locations in Charlotte: right on the multi-use Rail Trail, and a 5-minute walk from the East/West station, it's in the heart of everything that embodies South End. Wanna get in a run after work? Just park at Sycamore, hop on the adjacent jogging trail, and get in a few miles. Then enjoy a couple of their delicious brews on the spacious patio before heading home.
The beer list is extensive and ever-changing, but I really enjoyed their Countryside IPA and outstanding Gourd Have Mercy! pumpkin beer. There's tons of seating inside and out, and ample parking in their private lot. There's a food truck on site every night, and like every Charlotte brewery, dogs and kids are always welcome. Well worth a visit!
