HopFly Brewing

Description: Craft brewery taproom in South End pouring a rotating lineup of beers on draft, with additional bar options like cocktails. The space is positioned as dog- and family-friendly, with a rooftop patio known for skyline views and a relaxed hangout vibe. Food is typically available on site through a resident food option, making it easy to settle in for a longer visit. Good for casual meetups, weekend hangs, and post-work stops.

Comments: Free Wi-Fi, great upstairs patio with a view of Charlotte’s skyline. Industrial chic aesthetic. Friendly staff, and there’s a coffee shop within, Cool Idiot Coffee, making this a solid place to hangout. Access to outlets is solid downstairs by the taller tables.

Their parking lot is free but super small, in the vicinity there’s some free parallel parking, some paid of the same variety, and some paid lots. So you’ll just have to float around and find where you fit.
