I hit this place for lunch quite a bit. They have a pretty nice deli in the back that has a great selection. There are also some cold items that you can add.

For the size of the place, the beer selection is great. The best thing I've ever done is befriended Rob, the main beer guy. He is really cool and lets me know when the 'good' stuff is coming in.

They also have 6 taps with great quality stuff. If I wasn't going for lunch while working, I would indulge more than I do. But I tend to stop by after work for a couple. You can also pull bottles out of the cooler and hit the patio and just take in the atmosphere. All the patrons are pretty laid back and there is no drama!

They also have a decent selection of wine (not my thing) and the essentials.

I probably hit this place 1-2 times a week.

They can order kegs as well, so that makes it easier for me to keep my kegerator full.

All in all, if you work downtown or live in the Southend area, this has to be a regular part of your week! Great job guys.

I love this place. The patio is awesome, the food is fresh and good, and they also have a great wine/beer bar, with a lot of hard-to-find craft brews. I was able to pick up a 6-er of the Hopslam today that was released and distrbuted around CLT today. They were the first to get it and gave out just as much as Total Wine does. They also have a keg for Tuesday evening and some live music for everyone to try. Very cool place and in a great area.
