Tuesday night trivia!
Sydney M.

I love Hoppin! I usually come on Tuesdays for Trivia and honestly have the best time! Parking can be a bit tough, but thats Charlotte for ya! When you check in with the front, they collect a card for a tab and provide you a tap bracelet for your pours! I always enjoy making my round thru the options down and upstairs! Yes, there is an upstairs! They have a cute patio/outside seating too for when the weather isn't unbearable (fall/winter time). Trivia starts at 7, and Hailey is an AMAZING host!! Some weeks are themed and others are just fun random knowledge! The staff is super nice and accommodating - whatever questions about the beer you have, they can answer!! If you havent been to Hoppin yet, pick a day to go (but pick Tuesdays for a little extra fun!)

Whenever I'm in Southend, I enjoy going to hoppin they have a wide variety of beers, wine and mimosas. Recently they added a blocker so that you can get shot and other drinks such as gummy bear or frozen lemonade with vodka. There's always live music and very outgoing atmosphere and dogs are welcome as well. They do offer food, in case you get hungry and the staff is very friendly and knowledgeable about the products.

I went here with a friend on a Friday night. This place was nice and clean. When you arrive they give you a wrist band and you give the cashier a card for it to charge your drinks at the end of the night. This place is dog friendly. They have food trucks outside. They have a variety of 60 beers on tap that you pour yourself. They also have some wines and a full bar. The staff was friendly the space was nice and chill they have games for people to play. They have indoor and outdoor seating. This place is cool to come for a vibe or to just grab a drink and chill for a second. This is street parking available. It would be best to park in the parking garage and walk over.l to the place because parking can be limited.

Stopped in for Mingo(music bingo) such a fun time. They have a nice amount of seating and a variety of beers 62 on tap!!! If you're up for a fun Wednesday night, come grab beer a cocktail or tacos from the food truck. Must try the shrimp tacos!

Went here with a bunch of friends. It was a fun experience that they let you take beers from tap and use their bands to tap and create an account. They had bunch of local beers but they could Work more on their ambience. It was a little mundane.

The atmosphere at hoppin is one to beat. From the menu to the service you'll have an amazing experience. Jeff and Jacob are your go to guys. Jeff is the sweetest and offers the best experience and Jacob is your go to bartender and makes just about anything and everything he makes is simply the best. Found my new go to spot!

Great concept! So you provide your credit card upon entry and they give you the keys to the taps! Dangerous indeed. The concept sounds great...but they the actual execution had some challenges. The wristband to activate the taps doesn't work well and the sometimes the keg is really foamy or running out so you have to get someone to take it off your bill. They were accommodating....but it wasn't as easy as I thought it would be. It won't keep me from coming back again!

This place is legit. You check in and are given a wrist fob to try the dozens of wine and ale options. You scan the fob and you then pour your beverage of choice and are charged by the ounce. It keeps a running tab and allows you to keep track of it. Once done, you turn your fob back in and close out your tab. I highly recommend this place. The fruit ales are pretty on point.

Always a good time . This was my first time on the weekend and the music was playing , games were on the tv and it was a nice crowd. I love the concept and just trying new stuff anddddd my bill is so cheap. Not a fan of the dog thing but so many Charlotte venue welcomes the furry people.

I'm not a big beer drinker (honestly I don't like it) but Hoppin opened my eyes. This was my first time at Hoppin and I decided to come on their one year anniversary. The concept is pretty cool. You give them your id and a credit card when you arrive. They give you a wristband that controls the dispensers. You grab a glass and can choose from beer, wine or cider. Then when you're ready to go you return your wrist band and cash out. There is a penalty if you lose/don't return the band and an automatic gratuity charged to your card. You can also do a fast check out where you leave your wrist band in a bin and your card is charged and an automatic gratuity. The place was packed for the anniversary party. There was barely any place to sit and it was hard to maneuver around to the dispensers. There was also a private party upstairs that was roped off and you weren't able to get to some of the dispensers. I was never able to find the ciders but did try a kombucha and a fruit beer. I still had a fun time and actually found a beer I like!! I love Hoppin concept because I can actually try a bunch of beer and not have to pay an arm and a leg for something I don't like. I will def be back in the near future!!! Hoppin 1402 Winnifred St Charlotte, NC 28203 Saturday February 23, 2019 7:30pm

Love this place! Great vibes & people! Jacob & Aspen was awesome! He was very attentive and helpful.

Walking in on a Friday night!
Dionah T.

Bookmarked this location when they first opened and couldn't wait to come visit. The place was definitely one to remember... Parking is going to take some planning. As with any place in South End, parking on the street or catching an Uber/Lyft may be the best option. You can park on Bland St. and walk over if you're not able to find parking on any of the side streets that aren't private parking for the local residents. When we walked in, we were greeted by the young lady at the first register who asked if we'd been before and proceeded to thoroughly explain the concept once we told her that we were newbies. She was super pleasant! There was live music, as it was Friday evening. Weirdly enough, I couldn't really hear the music from the street... but once I got inside, it was super loud on the lower level... so if you go during the evening then be prepared to talk at an elevated level. When you first walk in, there is a nice wall to your right that has beer, but if you want something more subtle... there are selections around the corner. There were two gentlemen that were in the area were readily available to answer any questions or make suggestions, if you're unsure. I also appreciated the fact that they had Cranberry and Orange just available... because who said mimosas are just for breakfast?! There are two levels with an outside patio part. If you're wanting to find an intimate area to sit with a special person, then head upstairs. You can still hear the music, there is a wall of beer selections (fewer but still convenient so you don't have to walk downstairs) and there are nice cozy couches available for you to relax on. However, I did notice that if you were drinking wine, then you would have to go back downstairs to refill, as it's only beer upstairs (I could've missed it, so go see and let me know if I'm just blind). Lastly, THEY HAVE WIFI! There are a few places that "offer" wifi but it never works. The signal here was strong and the sign with the password was located at the bottom of the stairs. Overall, this was a nice addition to the beer scene in South End and because it's me doing the pouring, I had just the amount I wanted of two beer selections, for $4. Can't beat that! I will more than likely go back with friends that come in town to visit.

Nice chill spot.

Ask the Community - Hoppin' Charlotte

Is it kid friendly? And since food is not served, can we bring outside food in?

Hey Sherry, we do allow young kids under 10 during the day on weekends and during the early evenings during the week. We do get very busy Fridays and Saturdays so just be cautious of those days.

Do they serve food / snacks?

They don't serve food. But they do have menus for a food truck that is down the street and a pizza place that will deliver.

They give you a wristband that links to your credit/debit card and that's how you track what you pour for yourself.

I did end up getting one (1) of their sours, and it was alright, but nothing special. In addition, I went on a weekday night, so it's not really fair to compare it to a weekend night type of vibe, but nevertheless, the vibe was kind of lame, and I didn't love the ambiance. I will say that the bartender was very nice, and I could see how HopFly might be a fun place to go on the weekends.

The space has a great vibe with a spacious patio and an open air feel inside. It's also very dog friendly, with pups welcome both inside and out, which adds to the laid-back community vibe. Staff were welcoming and knowledgeable, which made the whole experience even better. The beer is outstanding. Hopfly has one of the best hazy IPA lineups I've come across. I did a flight of hazy's I hadn't tried before, and each one impressed more than the last. For those who aren't into beer, there's something for everyone. Cocktails, seltzers, ciders, wine, and even non-alcoholic options are all on the menu. It's a versatile spot that works whether you're coming with beer-loving friends or someone looking for other choices. Parking is decent. They have a lot in back, though it can fill up on busy days. Even if it does, there's street parking within a short walk. Overall, Hopfly is a standout brewery worth making the trip for. Relaxed, fun, and packed with flavor.

The German biers are some of the best I've tried. Both the Cooper altbier and Hornets Nest were excellent while their porter was a little too heavy for me. There's a full bar for the non beer drinkers . OMB features a huge selection of food items including German classics like pork schnitzel, wursts and the Bavarian or classic Jumbo pretzels. I'd recommend the sampler plate with the Jalapeño Cheddar Bratwurst as one choice ( you get three) and Jumbo Pretzel with Cooper Bier cheese & Düsseldorf mustard. The sides, such as their German potato salad, red cabbage and sauerkraut are very good. In addition theres a good selection of sandwiches, burgers, salads to choose from. The outside venue is amazing with ample outside seating featuring a fire pit, corn hole ( collect bags at the bar), children's playground and a water station for pets. Overall a great place to grab a beer and enjoy some authentic German style food at reasonable pricing. In addition OMB features private rooms for special events. One note parking could be problematic when it gets busy on weekends or special occasions but if you're willing to walk you'll find parking somewhere .

In between mall errands, grab a table or a barstool and dive into a Hot Chicken Sammy or Pepperoni Flatbread, paired with a flavorful Joyride IPA, Daydream Lager or another brew from their extensive selection. The menu also has shareable apps, salads and burgers, along with a wide variety of wines and cocktails. Service has been excellent on all our visits, and there's ample seating inside and out. The huge covered patio can get a little steamy in the summer, but is a joy in cooler weather. And the younger kids can burn off their energy on the adjacent playground while you and your spouse tip back a few drinks. Suffolk Punch is the best addition to SouthPark in years, and will give even the most reluctant shopper a new reason to hit the mall.

I love a place that lives their motto. "drink good beer, do good things"…read more The place: wide open with plenty of seating inside and out. I feel even if it's packed, there's still ample room to not feel like sardines. The food: delicious in all of their offerings. Fries were perfectly crisp and not oily. The hummus was well balanced and tasty. The beer: my initial only reason to visit. But tasting their offerings had me sold and ready to give them all my money. So here's why they live their motto. The cans we bought started leaking, we went back and asked if the leakage was a problem. They asked a few questions and profusely apologized and gave us two six packs of their beer with no charge. I tried to pay but they refused. They could have just said "sorry to hear" and sent us on our way but they made us whole. Plus, their code of conduct is awesome and should be a standard for all businesses. We're fans forever. Not only of their food and beer, but their values. Thank y'all so much!!
