Great beer selection and a good food menu as a bonus. Have been several times and never disappointed. Love the charcuterie board and the flatbread pizzas. Love the atmosphere. Definitely worth a visit - highly recommended!

Went here on a Wednesday with my girl and found out that have $6 cheese boards and $6 charcuterie, I will for sure be back on Wednesday just for this lol. We got one of each and they were bomb! We also got the beer flight and got to choose 5 beers out of a ton on draft. The ONLY reason I didn’t give it 5 stars is because we went back at 945 to order a couple of flatbreads and they said they’re kitchen closed an hour before closing time which is 11… so there were 15 minutes left which I know is enough time to cook a flatbread. Disappointed they closed earlier than they should’ve and we didn’t get to try them this time but will be back for sure and I recommend it!

Food is good! Nice atmosphere. Would give a higher rating if I liked beer, but theres nothing else to drink here (and thats not my thing).... So if you like small brewery specialities, this is the place for you.

Great selection and great deal on Monday! $8.50 flights! The only caveat is that theres an upcharge on several beers that they dont tell you about prior to checkout. That information would be great to know. Otherwise, go for the atmosphere, stay for the beer, food can be skipped. Nothing special there.

If I had the ability to rate this more than five stars I would. Ive only been to this place four or five times over the past three years but every time I go its better each time.If you are a true craft beer lover you will find some amazing beers here that you cant find anywhere else in Charlotte.Grade vibes fantastic beer!

Came here for the first time yesterday and loved this place so much! Beautiful outdoor and indoor seating and quite the selection of bottled and canned beers! Very nice tap selection also. Ordered the Fig flatbread + prosciutto and my goodness, it was one of a kind. If I dont like it too sweet, I would highly recommend adding the prosciutto to take some that away. Also ordered the SP&O flatbread and will likely order again when I return!

Craft is my to go spot for great drinks and even better cheese boards! Not sure what drink youre craving or what your taste buds enjoy? No worries! The staff at Craft are so knowledgeable and always willing to help guide you to something youll love! The outdoor seating has only improved over the years and its the best chill spot for some sunshine and a cold one.

Great beer selection and cant beat a $3 pint deal on Tues. Barstaff was great and there were lots of nice outdoor spaces to enjoy the beautiful weather. Food menu is small but done well (those pickles on the charcuterie board are 🤤).

This place has an awesome low key cozy feel. They have bunch of beers or tap so there is something for everyone. The inside is small, but the atmosphere is awesome. There is also a nice patio outside for warmer days. There is a limited food menu, but what they do offer is awesome. The pizzas are small, but delicious. Free peanuts too. Overall only have good things to say.

Flatbread and charcuterie board (and service) were both very good... Beer was good too, a little heavy on the ipa selection for my taste, but I did have other choices.

Awesome place for a good variety of beers. They carry beers from breweries you wont find at a lot of places. Great deals, free boiled peanuts, and a great atmosphere. They recently updated their outdoor area and its very accommodating. Love coming here!

Awesome local South End spot to enjoy locally crafted beer. This place sells growlers and bottles as well. The variety was fantastic. I visited on a Sunday afternoon and there was definitely a good crowd. The service was incredible! Any time you can find a great local bar with friendly bartenders it’s a win! I would highly recommend!

Review №27

Excellent tap selection and it is fantastic that they offer flights so you can try many of the various offerings on tap. The service however was atrocious. The server seemed more interested in chatting with friends at the bar than serving pretty much the only customer in the place - me. It was practically impossible to get his attention and even when I did and asked for another flight it took forever for him to actually pour the beers. Sad for a place that probably could have easily earned five stars on the basis of the tap list alone.

Another great place in South End. Parking in this area can be a pain so Lyft if possible. Food and drinks are this joint are solid as is the service.We enjoyed a couple of flatbreads (four in total, don’t judge, we were hungry) and they were all amazing. Drinks were awesome too. There are even cans and bottles around the shop for individual, take home purchases.

Randomly stopped by here while visiting NC and came across this perfect little gem. We encountered the best bartender, Imani, and she made our experience one to remember. Spectacular customer service, friendly, and very accommodating. We will be returning here and telling all our local friends about this hotspot.

Cool place with a unique beer selection. Good lighter plates and appetizers (flatbreads, boards, pretzels, that sort of thing). I really like their cheese boards and the movies they put on, on Friday nights in the spring through Halloween

This place is great. The selection of beers is well rounded and constantly changing. I hadnt been here in awhile but will likely be coming back more frequently since they seem to have changed to bra-free bartenders. However it made ordering beers slightly more difficult as I had a hard time focusing on the menu.

Craft can be easily forgotten for food, but their charcuterie and salads are amazing.Craft offers an exceptional array of draft beers and a staff that knows each of them extensively.Nothing better than a warm afternoon with beers and salad from Craft.

Yet another amazing bottle shop. Should definitely get some sort of fans for the outside area but overall the food and brews are always good. They even have my favorite brewer on tap! We really like coming to this place.

Review №73

I arrived ten minutes before close to buy beers togo off your rack. I live across the street and have purchased from you multiple times prior to this, but will not be returning. Your server Farr addressed us at the door and said he would be closing in “20 seconds” and asked us to leave. He would not allow us to buy beers off your shelves togo despite us being there before close and wanting to buy beers to-go. He was incredibly rude and turned away a 12 beer Togo purchase from your shelves. You should highly reconsider how you address your customers and howYou address Togo orders for beers offYour shelves. I will not recommend your store to anyone else and am highly disappointed in the treatment I received from Farr despite being there before close, there not being too many people in the location due to COVID, and despite being there prior to closing.

Review №74

This place is excellent. It can get pretty crowded at night since it has become so well known in South End, but its worth it. The beer selection (bottle and on tap) is top notch. The staff is welcoming and knowledgeable. There is a wide range of products (many of which are locally sourced).Pro tips:1. The pizzas are light, fresh, and excellent.2. If you or some of your friends prefer fermented grape juice, they offer a small selection of affordable wine by the bottle.3. Lunch is an excellent time to visit.4. Dont be shy about samples from the taps.

Surprisingly diverse selection of sour beers on tap and in cans/bottles. Good food and friendly people. The interior seating space is a little small but they also have an outdoor patio for sitting. Will definitely be back since I havent found an equivalent bottle shop with this selection of sour beers. No cans and bottles are chilled though, only on shelves.

Been there 3 times ...gets better each time. Great Beer selection with a lot of local Carolinas brews, phenomenal food and great folks! I highly recommend any thing on their menu. The owner is a former chef and knows his stuff. Local meats, cheeses, veggies, fresh baked bread....very good stuff! Atmosphere is really nice...upscale with a laid back home-style type of feeling...very diverse crowd...casual dress...Great place to fill up your Growler too! Enjoy a cold brew or three for me!

Some of the best choices of craft beer in town. Definitely one of my go-to spots for a nice one and done. The bartenders are nice and hard working. They offer pizza, salad, and a few other bar bites. They also offer plenty of daily specials as well!

Review №79

This place is a favorite! Staff always kind and efficient. Quick food from their high temp oven makes excellent flatbread pizzas. They are known for great charcuterie platters and have great specials in them mid-week. This isn’t a “new Southend” place. They’ve stood the test if time for a reason! Over 30 handles to choose from and a big shelf can collection on top will make any beer lover happy!

I love Craft! This is one of my favorite places in Charlotte to come for a drink. They have a huge selection of craft beer to choose from. As a non-beer drinker, I appreciate that they always have was cider on tap.They have really good food as well. The piadinas and flatbreads are my favorite. The pretzel is also good and dont forget about the $6 meat and cheese board special on Wednesdays!The patio is one of my favorites on a nice day. The indoor space is also nice, but it can get pretty loud when it starts to get crowded.If youre looking for specialty beer, you cant miss their large bottle collection as well.This is definitely one of my top happy hour locations and worth checking out!

Review №92

I only came in for the first time recently for a single beer, but I will definitely be back!They have a fantastic draft selection and when I saw on their website that they had a rare Evil Twin brew I had been wanting to try, I made a bee-line here. It was an expensive beer, but priced accordingly for the rarity & abv.I loved that they keep their draft beer offerings up to date on their website and their bartenders are top notch in service and beer knowledge!I also really liked that there seemed to be a lot of regulars. In the 30mins I was there, multiple times the bartenders addressed patrons by their first name and already knew what they wanted or were prepped with suggestions for them out of their new arrivals...I used to have that at a beer bar in my old city and I am so happy to have discovered the potential for that same cheers-vibe here!Sadly, I had to have my beer and run, but I cannot wait to return and thoroughly vet their draft selection as well as their food menu and peruse their bottle selection as well!

Craft is a great addition to the ever growing collection of brew-centric watering holes here in Charlotte. They have 25+ taps, a dog friendly patio, and delicious food, ranging from sandwiches to tapas. I got the pretzels made at Local Loaf (another great local spot) with the Lusty Monk mustard- so good!
