| - Upon hearing that Good Bottle was opening in Southend, I immediately thought "Oh, a Salud closer to my house, awesome!". However, Good Bottle definitely has its own thing going on.
Yes, there are shelves lined with cans and bottles (divided by type: ale/lager/localNC/ipa/seasonal), a few coolers filled with growlers and more delicious beers, and a series of taps that rotate rather frequently, but the space differs with its very clean warehouse feel to it, and serious organization.
Those behind the bar were incredibly friendly and knowledgeable (even on a busier night), there were a few different options for seating, and I look forward to returning and perusing again when there are fewer bodies stuffed in the building! With their current hours and the almost sterile feeling environment (maybe this will pass as the business ages), though, I feel this is a more stop in, and maybe have a beer while I pick out a six pack to bring home, location. It just didn't appeal to me as a stay for awhile and attempt to get cozy on the backless metal bar stools... yet.
They don't serve food but Papi Queso was in their parking lot, so good to know it's on at least one food truck's route! I also love the map behind the bar letting you know where the beers on tap are from (and usually a little NC heavy, which is awesome).
