Charlotte, North Carolina
All-local craft beers and a secret garden patio in NoDa
NoDa Company Store is a neighborhood beer bar in Charlotte's NoDa Arts District, pouring exclusively local Charlotte craft beer on draft alongside house-made sangria, frozen coladas, and mimosas. There's no kitchen — rotating food trucks park outside most days. The draw is the outdoor space: a 'secret garden' patio with swings, lush greenery, and a dog-friendly policy. NoDa has the highest concentration of same-sex couples in the Carolinas and a visible LGBTQ+ presence along its commercial strips. The bar has hosted NoDa Pride Parade afterparties. Recently changed hands under new owners Jesse and Brandon.
