| - This place is huge!! I love all the small intimate breweries in Charlotte, but the problem is that they are always so crowded. This place doesn't have that problem with over 270 indoor seats at at just as many outdoor seats. There's a variety of options too: bar seats, high tops, lounge areas with couches, and regular dining-style tables. We came on opening day at dinner time and didn't have any issue getting a spot. Also, the space is beautifully designed and has a nice open feel.
The beer list is of course excellent... I wouldn't expect anything else from these brewers. I had the Kirsch Gose, a sour cherry beer, by Victory and I liked it well enough. My friend also ordered their in-house root beer, which was very yummy. They had over 30 beer options and will also be adding a liquor/cocktail menu at some point!
The food was really good, especially considering it was opening day! The menu is generally bar food, but it's a little fancier. We started with the Crispy Potato Stack (with bacon cream, scallions and beer cheese) and there were 4 stacks of potato for 4 people so it was a nice snack. We then added an order of wings with the sauces on the side. They came 3 sauces, so you're bound to like one of them. For my meal, I ordered the Summer Love Poached Shrimp Roll, which is kinda like a lobster roll, but with shrimp. It came on a big hoagie roll and was a ton of food. Very yummy. I also got it with the fries. My fries were good, although a little over salted. My husbands fries however tasted a little more stale... they must've been a different batch.
Overall though, great space, great menu, and great location. Will definitely return!
