Okay I loved this place! It's a huge space, and they had a nice selection of beers to choose from. They also had a food truck out front, with a lineup of food trucks throughout the month. Moreover, there were tons of events and activities planned. Some regularly scheduled, some one-offs, this really seemed like a third space for people. It's dog friendly, has indoor and outdoor seating, not too far from the light rail, friendly bar tenders and plenty of board games if you want to be lowkey. Wish it were closer to us! We will definitely be back read more

Great brewery with solid beer and great seating throughout the inside and outside. Parking is a bit cramped but that can be expected in this area of NODA. Service was great and I can't wait to be back to try more of their beers. read more

First we arrived at 8:41pm to be informed by the bartender, "they might be closing early". Cool cool, that's welcoming. Since they don't close until 10pm on Saturday nights, we ordered a beer and sat down. A group of two and two groups of five also came in behind us And they were told the same thing. By 9:17 all the chairs in the place were up on tables, open sign pulled in, lights were dimmed, tv's were turned off and they were literally putting cones in parking places. I've never felt so unwelcome in a brewery anywhere in the world. We then reach out to let management know over on the instagram and got a whole lot of radio silence. They don't give a shit yall. So if you're in Charlotte and you're looking for a place to go, I would definitely avoid this one at all costs, they don't want you to stop In. read more

Loved it! the atmosphere was very relaxed and chill. a band was playing and they were great! the beer selection is so diverse ranging from crisp, dark, hoppy, sour and (NY FAV) the hard sodas and seltzers. you have to try the root beer as it tastes identical to the A&B root beer. the orange and grape taste identical to the fanta sodas! the staff was extremely knowledgeable of everything that they carried and able to answer all questions about seasonal beers and the types! they do not serve food, but they had a wing truck out front that served multiple different flavors of wings and were very good. we had a great first time here and will be back :) read more

This place is set back amongst some shops and other restaurants in the NoDa neighborhood. I've been to a few breweries in Charlotte and this is a new favorite. They have a big indoor space with a stage for music and plenty of tables for groups. The prices are pretty solid so you're not breaking the bank. The servers are very friendly and attentive and the whole vibe is super casual all around. We didn't order any food but we did stick around for a while and sat outside to enjoy the gorgeous weather. Would definitely love to go back here in the future! read more

Divine Barrel features unique beers with fun names! Defensive French Toast is my favorite. I appreciate that they have a wide variety of beer types - light beers, IPAs, and dark beers. I also love the space - tall ceilings, plants!, and plenty of seating. I visited on a Sunday evening and enjoyed the live music. There are sooo many breweries in Charlotte, but Divine Barrel stands out. Can't wait to return! read more

I really liked the vibe of this place. The server at the bar was so helpful in choosing the best beer for my taste. She did not hesitate to give me tastes of different ones I was contemplating. I got a peanut butter stout, which was full of flavor and delicious! There's something for everyone on the menu, including soursand cider. This place is especially good for big groups and a nice table for friends to play games at. You really should check it out. read more

We came here for a beer and board game birthday bash. What a cool spot - just a tad off the beaten path of NODA. Which was great because parking was easy!! We got a spot right out front in their lot. I am no currently drinking so I cannot comment on the beer. I can relay comments from the spouse. As to atmosphere... chill and relaxed. Plenty of games and I MEAN PLENTY!! TV's a plenty. They have a large projection TV viewable from the whole place. The staff could not have been more friendly. Terrific service! My wife sampled the Czech Dark Lager - a little too malty for her, the Tried & True Brown Ale - a bit too dark. She settled on the Czech Pils (yes, very different form the other 2) and liked it very much. We used Uber Eats to have food ordered in (shout out to one of my faves Bisonte Pizza!!) Look forward to a return visit here. Highly recommend. read more

I called to ask about this place and was told they had a full bar and a really nice open mic night. I drove across town to check it out and got there at 6:25 when it was supposed to begin. By 705 it still had not started. There were 15 young women hanging out and talking, but no one got it started. I went to get a drink and learned that it is not a full bar. It is a beer bar with liquors. But no mixers. So most of the drinks are made with some sort of combination of beer I was told. Disappointing because I am allergic to beer. They don't serve food, but you can bring food with you. Otherwise, I liked the vibe of the place, I liked that they allow dogs. I liked the atmosphere. But eat and drink before you go and don't read more

Fantastic venue! Hosted my daughter's engagement party here and could not have made a better choice. The bar is clean and classy, the staff was friendly and helpful, and there is something on tap for everyone's taste. read more

Beer for my feet, please! I stopped at Divine Barrel for a frosty beverage and some wifi before continuing my Saturday wandering. This is a large spot and they have a dozen or so beers on tap plus several guest beers, ciders and even a hard seltzer. I found a comfy spot near a power outlet to charge my phone. At the bar, a pour of their Czech Pils was perfect. Nice table to sit, several other folks around with take out food ordered from local vendors. There was also a baby shower (what?) in the side room. Great spot, definitely worthy of the Charlotte beer scene. [Review 16947 overall - 3269 in North Carolina - 463 of 2022.] read more

5 stars - unique variation of beers, lots of seating, games and books available Cool brewery in Charlotte, NC with friendly staff. Lots of really unique and varied beers on tap to satisfy different tastes. Not a single hazy IPA on the menu and everything was delicious. I really enjoyed the snakes and sparklers, which tasted exactly like sour candy, and my husband loved the smoked gratzer. Liked the beer enough that we got some to-go as well. They had some books and games as well for people wanting to hang out for a while! read more

We love this local brewery. Even on busy days there's always plenty of room inside and outside. The beer list is extensive and we love that you can get 5, 10 or 16 oz pours of every beer. They have a nice selection of table games too. Lately they've had a delicious pizza food truck stationed outside making wonderful wood fired pizzas. read more

Divine Barrel Brewing - BPT pizza plus pepperoni from The Sidekick CLT - Breweries Near Me - Charlotte, North Carolina

A little bit north of the NoDa area proper is one of my favorite breweries in the vast Charlotte brewery ecosystem, Divine Barrel. The reason why I'm so fond of it is really simple, I think they serve some of the best beer. With all the new breweries popping up it can be hard to distinguish or find one that stands out but I have tried several beers here and find that their beer stands out in what can sometimes feel like a sea of mediocrity. Bonus points for also having fun names like "Defensive Pancake" for a maple porter and "Beer Flavored Beer" for a lager. They do not have their own kitchen but they usually have a food truck outside and I believe they are able to order from some of the restaurants nearby. I still cannot say I have tried every charlotte brewery but I have tried a good chunk of them and this one is one that I highly recommend! read more

You can find Divine Barrel Brewing at 3701 N Davidson St, Ste 203, Charlotte, NC 28205 in NoDa. The brewery is at the back end of a building so you'll see the covered patio first - the entry is in the brick building to the right. The interior is a mix of reused industrial polished concrete floors with exposed brick and ceilings, and recycled barnwood paneling (or are they pallets?) with metal chairs and wood topped barrels for tables. It's quite comfortable - reminds me of some of the coastal bars/restaurants I've visited in my travels only with much higher ceilings. The taproom bar is to the back with a fairly large list of available beers on tap (I think there were 13 on this day) - there was also a smaller board that held some barrel-aged items - I believe poured from bottles - make sure you take a look, it's under the larger menu. Seems they also offer a few additional items like Untitled Art fruited hard seltzers, non-alcohol beer, ciders and prosecco. We tried: * Cadillac Rainbows Fruited Berliner Weisse 4/5 - Nice smoothy sour with big fruity additions of sweet mango and guava, tart passion fruit and peach. Starts out a bit tart and juicy then finishes sweet and mouthcoating. * Barleywine in Retrograde 4/5 - Notes of bitter dark chocolate and tart dark fruit on the nose, full roasty thick body with hint of tobacco, finishing sweet with a good amount of bittering hops on the finish, slightly warm * We're out of Peanut Butter, Frank Stout 4/5 - Buttery fairly thick bodied porter with notes of chocolate, roasted peanuts (mostly on the nose), finishing slightly sweet with a good amount of balancing hops in the finish. * Spatial Awareness Stout 4.2/5 - Thick bodied coffee stout with big notes of dark chocolate and bitter coffee, offset by sweet vanilla and a bit of chilli flavor that heats up a bit as you drink and the stout warms * Climb a Cloud NEIPA 4.1/5 Well made NEIPA with hints of sweet orange and grapefruit in a hazy, juicy body with good mouthfeel, finishing hoppy. * Untitled Arts Pineapple Mango Seltzer 4.2/5 - If you haven't tried these UA seltzers you're really missing out - this one is super juicy with big flavors of sweet mango and tart pineapple. * Sleep is a Cousin of Death - Brandy Barleywine - 4.4/5 Delicious sweet bodied barleywine with lots of barrel, notes of sweet toffee, dried fig and almond cookie. Somewhat boozy finish but hey I don't mind this one - builds as you drink and the beer warms. * Sleep is a Cousin of Death - Cognac Barleywine - 4.3/5 A bit dryer than the brandy version with different barrel complexity, notes of toffee, molasses, fig, with a cleaner, crisper finish. * What Glitters is Gold Hefe 4/5 - Competently made Hefeweizen with hazy body, notes of citrus and bready yeast in a creamy body with great mouthfeel, typical banana nose finishing fairly clean - crushable. * Warm my Bones Imperial Stout 4.4/5 - Something about that Apple Brandy barrel that imparts a sweetness that makes your toes curl, notes of dark chocolate in a thick body with a warming, boozy finish - very decadent. In all the service was exceptional and the venue welcoming. We had a great time. read more

Divine Barrel Brewing offers a good variety of their crafted beers. Upon arrival, I sampled their Here Wit Heart (a wit bier), Widow Walken (a hazy TIPA), the Hawt Lubelski (a pepper gratzer), and the Defensive Pancake (a maple vanilla porter). It was a close call between the Widow Walken and the Hawt Lubelski, while I liked the smoky spiciness of the Hawt Lubelski, I thought it would be a bit much for a full 16 ounce glass, so I opted for the Widow Walken, which came in a 10 ounce serving. The staff were extremely friendly and professional and the atmosphere was certainly inviting with brick walls and the lights falling on their wire from the high ceiling. The atmosphere and the chill music, rock with a mellow edge, made unwinding very easy. I would definitely recommend a visit here. Enjoy a beer and the atmosphere. read more

Divine Barrel was a brewery Steve and I had a couple beers from and we were pretty impressed with our craft beer experience with this brewery. Impressive Dexterity was the first beer that we had which was an India Pale Lager. A tyoe of lager I don't get the opportunity to have very often. I was grateful to have it but unfortunately I wasn't terribly impressed with it. This beer has a dry, citrus flavor to it which wasn't too bad but unfortunately I didn't get a huge impression with it. But wow, did things turn around after that! Cadillac Rainbows was the next beer we had and Steve and I really enjoyed that one! This beer is a fruited Berlinerweise and proved to be so very good. Passion fruit was the main fruit highlight with this beer. Easily this beer could come off too sweet but I didn't feel like I got too sugared up with this beer and it just had a nice all around balance to it. So in the end this proved to be a rewarding brewery experience and worthy of the stars I'm giving it... four! read more

Divine Barrel Brewing - Very good fruited Berlinerweise, Cadillac Rainbows! - Breweries Near Me - Charlotte, North Carolina

Divine Barrel is quickly becoming one of my favorite NC craft breweries. Tucked away cool little spot in the Northeast of Charlotte in the NoDa district Divine Barrel offers some truly unique beers. I first encountered Divine Barrel in Wilmington Nc where I tried the Lunchbox Confidential and Holy Cow it's a Peanut Butter and Jelly sandwich in a can. I was super excited about finally getting to visit the tap house. The space is super cool with a large outdoor patio and plenty of seating inside. We got a flight and really enjoyed every expression they offered. The Ice cream Paint job and Lunchbox were super crushable! Can't wait for another visit which shhh (I'm headed there now) read more

The beer's always good when it's barrel-aged in the NoDa 'hood!⁣ ⁣ This spacious brewery offers a variety of highly-stylized beers that will impress even the staunchest of beer snobs. ⁣ With ampleparking + seating they also offer plenty of types of entertainment to enjoy between sips including video, bar, and old school games . ⁣ They are also dog-friendly and Lynx Blue Line adjacent, so you come on down and raise a glass w/every train pass! Staff is friendly & accommodating. My one little thing is I tend to shy away from places that price their sample size 5oz pours individually. While it's great to not be forced to try a set amount or have the the freedom to not be restricted to a fixed number; it can get expensive, fast! Rather than a prix-fixe price of a flight from $7-12 at most breweries, depending on which beers you get, your tab can add up quick. But, that aside, I definitely enjoyed my visit here! read more

After leaving a dive bar with a much younger vibe, Divine Barrel Brewing welcomed us and was a great place for four 30somethings who want to chill and have a beer. Divine Barrel doesn't offer flights, but they do offer small pours, which is what we got. The workers were incredibly nice, and made several recommendations. The peach beer was delicious, and my husband, who doesn't usually like IPAs, really liked theirs. The brewery has comfy couches for chilling and a bulletin board that advertised social events like yoga classes and even a running club. Divine Barrel is just a short walk from the busier area of NODA and just off the highway, so it's a convenient stop for a good brew in Charlotte. read more

Nice big place that's hidden in a back corner! You'll need to search.... hint: back left corner! Quick flight before leaving town! I tried 4 beers: oktoberfest, how the west was won, blackberry cobbler and pb porter. They were all sold beers and very enjoyable. The beertenders were very friendly and the place had a nice vibe! read more

No flights but you can buy by the pour which is very cool for those of you wanting to experience a brewery but not a fan of beer. Try out as many or as few as you want. I tried the Carolina Cobbler-Peach and it was delicious. Highly recommend if you're not a big fan of typical beers. If you like sweet & dark try the defensive pancake. They have a variety of different options for all types of beer drinkers and have some non-alcoholic drinks for all the saints out there. Brought my wife here for her birthday and she enjoyed it a lot! They also have a few table games and a Nintendo 64. Oh and when a train passes raise your glasses!! read more

We went to Divine Barrel for the first time as a part of the K-pop event they hosted there recently. It was a fun night, but I'll focus on a review of Divine Barrel itself. I think this may be my new favorite brewery in Charlotte. My partner loved it too! I'm a big fan of sours, and they had more options than the usual brewery does! On top of that, they were absolutely delicious. They had a special one for the event that was really good, but my absolute favorite was the Snakes and Sparklers brew. It's so refreshing, and never have I ever drank a beer so quickly. I went right back for another. The service was great as well, despite the big event. The atmosphere is also neat! read more

Loved checking out this Divine Barrel taproom while visiting Charlotte. This was the only brewery I've ever been to (and believe me I've been to a lot) that had a permanent stage set up in front of their taproom for live music. This was also the first and only brewery that had a professional flute player come and perform. She did end up having a guitar player join her but it was a pleasant experience. They're a bit hidden away behind a wine shop - the entrance is actually closer to the back of the building. We learned that the hard way! Their staff was really great and super helpful. We all tried a flight and honestly all their beers were great but Snakes & Sparklers and Universal Language were my favorites. My friend also tried their PBJ beer and it was so incredibly delicious we got a crowler of it to take home with us. Overall, this was a great local spot to come hang out and drink some beers, play some games, and jam out to a local flutist. 10/10 recommend a stop in if you're in the area. read more

Always wanted to visit Charlotte and went on a beautiful day to visit a couple of breweries and eateries. First on the list was Divine Barrel. I've heard nothing but great things about the place, and of course we showed up at 12 on the dot (when they open). You pull into a parking lot that leads to the outdoor seating area, and 2 entrances. The outdoor area has plenty of seating all fairly distanced. I saw they have lights up which would really set the mood as the sun sets. We sat outside for a while enjoying our drinks before it starting to drizzle. The one entrance is a big open area, which really expands on the open feel of the place. Like you're never completely confined to feeling stuck indoors. We were greeted right away by a couple ladies behind the bar area. They were friendly and informative on the current brews. While we don't really do flights, we were there long enough to try so many different kinds of beer. I'm a huge fan of porters, and they had a maple bacon one that we just had to go home with too. Their IPAs are great. Took a bunch of those home too. I thought it was great that on Saturdays they have "Small Business Saturdays", where they let vendors set up on their property to sell some of their merch. Got myself a pretty pair of earrings. Really loved this place. It's really beautiful inside. We even got a tour of the back. Only downside, was the food truck outside. Two different pies, both burnt. Can't really fault the brewery for that though, so yea, definitely still 5 stars. read more

Great space both inside and out. The variety of beers on tap was fantastic, they had something for everyone in our party. I ended up ordering the 40 Dollar Bills IPA and You're a Towel NEIPA. We had a great time sitting outside; however, it took a turn. So, what did I not like about my visit to Divine Barrel? Getting overcharged not only once but twice. I was charged for my friends beer that was already paid plus an extra beer that we did not order. As I was trying to get the bartenders attention he turned his back to me, after a few minutes he came over and I explained I was charged for 2 additional beers. When I got the corrected check it was still wrong, the extra beer was still on there. After another correction it was finally fixed but the bartender seemed a tad annoyed. Next time don't try to overcharge and there will be no issues. It's unfortunate because I liked the beer here. read more

Really cute little brewery. Lots of outside seating, and the day we were there they had a food truck in the parking lot. Not a lot of parking, so if you are in town, maybe think about using Uber/Lyft. We lucked out on getting one of the last parking spots the afternoon we were there. Great selection of beers. The day we were there they had a Pleasantly Plum sour that was very good! The staff was very knowledgeable about the beers on tap & you could taste one before deciding to purchase. If we get back to the area I would definitely stop by here again. read more

I came here on a Wednesday evening for a skillpop class to learn macrame. The space is really nice! It's a little off the beaten path but there is adequate parking. They have both beer and wine. I think you can bring your own food-- there was a group having a birthday party and they had pizza. There is a private room to the side (where they barrel age the beer) that can be used for private functions. read more

I know, I know - it took me forever to get here. When you have friends that work at breweries and they like to come drink here that says a lot. So the most obvious thing is the lack of parking - we got lucky and found a spot on the Sherwin Williams side. Phew! Outside, you're thinking "There's a brewery in there?". Man, oh, man does it fool you - it's huge inside. Like two story vaulted ceiling tap room size! Alexis was our beer tour guide while we were there and took good care of us. No official flights here but they sell 5 oz pours, so you can technically build your own flight. Mine: Marshall Berry (Blueberry Kolsch) - WFAE fundraising collab and very refreshing Home Before Daylight - a nice representation of a NE IPA Under Peche-er - Very tasty and different Peach Gose with Pink Himalayan Salt The Feelin' I Forgot - West Coast IPA - Clean, fruity, crushable - my fave of the day I got a little taste of Imaginary Rulebook Hazy DIPA which was pretty killer too. No lack of indoor seating here - a little indoor flea market set up and some covered patio space outside. Will definitely be back! Got a four pack of Cadillac Rainbows to go! Finger crossed that it's a good one!! read more

With new breweries opening up in Charlotte these days it is hard to find one that outdoes another. However, Divine Barrel falls into the category of one of the best breweries open in 2018, in my mind. Divine has a beautiful space with an large patio outdoors. Service is outstanding and their draft selection is some of my favorite. They have rotating Food Trucks, for those of us who enjoy a nice snack, so that is a bonus for Divine. Although parking can be limited there is a large lot across the street and with a few other spots in the area, park, make a stop a here, and before you know you will be hooked. Looking forward to my next visit! read more
