With a quick layover in Charlotte, I needed a quick place to get some local NC beer. The Untappd app quickly made me realize that there aren't so many spots with craft beer, but I did see that Stock Car Cafe would work just fine.
They had 5 or 6 craft beer options in larger cans, so I asked some fellas at the bar which one to choose. I was amazed by how friendly everyone was at the bar. Maybe it's an airport thing, but people were just starting conversations with random strangers, not even about the sports game on the TV.
It's a little pricey, but this is also an airport bar and restaurant. It was packed on a Friday afternoon.
The bar area is a little awkward if you don't get a stool, but it's not the end of the world.
