Charlotte’s favorite beer garden has just been named the best in the nation by USA Today.
According to the publication’s new Best Beer Garden of 2022 report, South End’s Charlotte Beer Garden was ranked #1, beating out Virginia Beach’s New Realm Brewing (#2) and Raleigh’s Raleigh Beer Garden (#3).
The ranking was determined by editor research, industry expert input, and a general popular vote.
The report notes that, “The Charlotte Beer Garden offers one of the largest selections of draft beers you’re likely to find in a single restaurant – some 400 beers on tap. Visitors can enjoy their beer of choice at the indoor-outdoor beer bar or on the heated patio.”
Charlotte actually made the top ten list twice, with VBGB coming in at #10 in the nation.
