When I think of Salud I reflexively start humming the Cheers theme. Jason and his group of some-nights-employees-some-nights-patrons have a great way of making a girl and her beer feel right at home. Add to that an wide selection of shelved and chilled bottles and an impressive tap list and you have the makings of a great bottle shop. There is always something new to try, especially on draft. Charlotte's local breweries are strongly represented but you will also find brews from far and wide, as well as from breweries that have no real home at all (I'm looking at you Evil Twin!).
Sometimes you do want to go where everybody knows your name, and you want to have a great beer when you get there. It is those times for which Salud exists.
