I didn't really like HopFly. I went there because I heard that they had a few great sour drinks,…read morebut I wasn't really impressed when I looked at their beer list. 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. Overall, HopFly wasn't terrible, but considering all the other bars and breweries in the area, it might be a while before I come back.

Hopfly Brewing in Charlotte lived up to expectations. I've been picking up their beers locally at…read moreBestway in Greensboro (which easily has the best beer selection in town), so visiting the brewery in person was a must, and it did not disappoint. 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.

Standout server, Ashley, was fabulous and accommodated my request for iced coffee, even though it wasn't on the menu. Seeing her hustle and serve several tables, it was clear she goes out of her way to make customers happy. Loved her! Tables were clean and spacious and my breakfast sandwiches with egg, bacon and gouda was really tasty. It was a lot of food for one person, with the potatoes side too. A solid meal before flying home. I didn't try any of their brews because it was early and I was working...but next time!

Discovered a great German style Biergarten when visiting Charlotte, The Olde Mecklenburg Brewery…read morewhere the staff are welcoming, attentive and knowledgeable on the beer and food selections. 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 .

Fantastic spot. I had some visitors in from Japan and they really wanted to go to the SouthPark…read moreMall to get some shopping done. We popped in here for a mid-shopping break. They have a pretty good variety of beers. I wish they had more dark beer options. We didn't get any food. But the setting is great. Wide open community type seating.

Recommended!

Someone finally capitalized on the brilliant idea of opening a brewery in SouthPark Mall, and the…read moreresults are so impressive you'll wonder why this wasn't a thing 5 years ago. Set in a fun, airy space next to the mall's outdoor plaza, Suffolk Punch serves up delicious beers, terrific cocktails and tasty grub that makes it a great destination for just about any occasion. 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!!

What a cool place! The service was super friendly and the vibe was very cool…read more We ordered a flight, a FLVR! NA mango dragon fruit sour, hummus, and fries. My love was excited to get his fix of Good Morning Vietnam, a coffee-vanilla blonde ale, that was annoyingly delicious. He tried several others and was pleased with the offerings. I was so in love with the FLAVR sour that I just had some shipped to my house. The food offerings were delicious and came out fast. The fries were piping hot and perfectly salted. I couldn't stop going for them. The hummus was delicious and served with crunchy soft pita chips and cucumber slices. It was a perfect snack. We may have to go back one more time before we head back to Texas. And we did! We came back at noon for coffee and snacks during a lunch break. The coffee was perfect and the food was delicious! Glad we made it back within 24 hours.

Great local brewery with surprisingly solid food and fun atmosphere!…read more We went on an immaculate Friday evening, and the patio was poppin' with live music. There's plentiful seating both inside and outside, so we didn't have any trouble finding a table. We ordered pretzels, which were served warm with malt salt and delectable beer cheese. We also got the chicken tenders with Thai chili sauce. I'm glad we got the sauce on the side because it was SPICY. These also came with some veggies and blue cheese on the side. To drink, we got two of Town's beers on tap: the Western Sky blood orange wheat (seasonal) and the Broken Tarted raspberry and hibiscus sour. There were lots of families with young kids and pups! Very lively and welcoming.

Served on thick doughy bread and loaded with toppings, it defintiely hit the spot. The salad was a hearty portion too, full of all the fixins and a delicious dressing too. We stayed for almost 2 hours and enjoyed the festive decor, spirit, and chatting with some other patrons. The service was friendly and prompt, they checked in regularly to clear our empty glasses and plates. All in all, definitely a good time worth returning.

Two Words: Order the Cheerwine Wheat! Usually beer mashups are too heavy or too light. How many…read morepumpkin beers have you tried that have little to no pumpkin? How many have been too overpowered by whatever flavor they're trying to do. This beer from NoDa brewing is the perfect balance of wheat beer and Cheerwine (that red soda pop that's so popular in NC).

The brewery itself is pretty cool with indoor and outdoor seating, a nice parking lot with, and friendly beer-tenders where you order inside at the bar and basically serve yourself.
