Good Bottle

Best. Bottle. Shop. I’m lucky enough to be Good Bottles neighbor! Each day holds a new special or beer release! Run club Monday, vinyl and pizza Tuesday, tap take overs, $ 4 pint days. The guys who run the shop are the coolest dudes too! I can go grab a beer and always have a friend there. Honestly reminds me of Cheers! Be careful, you might walk into a random bottle share happening! They also sometimes have a beer breakfast on Saturday mornings which is such a fun event. Beer and breakfast at 9am! I’ve watched this place grow and can remember when we could only get Wicked Weed here! Thanks for everything, guys! Plus it’s beside the doggy bakery :-) and Penn Station if you’re hungry!

Great selection of regional crafts. Thanks for helping the Pittsburgher find some great brews!

More of a market than a bar — pretty tight squeeze in this small space!

Great selection of beers, including Carolina locals. Super easy place to shop and enjoy… they literally let me and my party sit and drink a few beers, catch up for a bit, and then pay before we left. Super chill environment. Would absolutely come back and suggest to anyone that likes beer!

Now, here I know the shop keepers, and owner, well enough to get in trouble. And they don’t know me that well. I love this place. Go here for any beer you want, or go online. These guys make local craft beer their business, and they do it with class. Family friendly, who could ask for more?

Good Bottle indeed.
Now I know why you’re so popular.
Is it the vast selection of bottled and canned beers? Maybe for some.
Is it the tidy, easy to shop, streamlined shelves and coolers? Maybe for some.
What did it for me were the extremely well curated taps. Burial Machete Saison and Fonta Flora Brass Monkey? Who did they have to bribe or kill to get those kegs? Hi Wire Strawberry Gashes and Catawba Astral Bootie Session IPA? Who picks this stuff? Because you are «the Man». Did you sell your first born? Pact with the Devil? Let me guess. You’re just a beer genius.
As long as I get to benefit from Good Bottle’s Beer knowledge and laid back atmosphere, I’ll keep coming back for more and more and more.
PS My buddy John H says that they have a «pop up» restaurant that serves breakfast there on Saturdays. Beer + Breakfast = Beerfast. Score!!!

This is the second time i’ve visited the shop to pick up a large selection of bottles and it’s a fantastic place. The staff is extremely helpful and their storefront is well organized/​on point. This will be a regular spot any time i pass through town.

I can’t recommend this place enough to locals who just haven’t made it here yet, or to people visiting the area and looking for a good craft beer shop. They have one of the widest selections in Charlotte, even compared to the likes of big retails chains like Total Wine etc. Staff is extremely knowledgeable on all aspects of craft beers and always steer me in the right direction when I’m looking for a suggestion! The small taproom inside is a great place to grab a local draft beer while browsing their huge selection. One thing I truly love about the staff here is that they are not pretentious, beer snobs, that turn their nose up to people who maybe don’t understand EVERY aspect of craft beer. And for that, Good Bottle, I salute you. I shall return for many years to come.
To sum it all up, GIVE THIS PLACE A TRY DUMMY!

If you enjoy grabbing a tasty yeasty beverage by yourself or with friends, then Good Bottle is the place to go. The location is ideal with the local train system and easy access to downtown Charlotte. I think once a week they have some type of offer if you ride your bike which is great for those of you who live close.
An assortment of styles and breweries line the shelves, choosing is not easy if you are a beer enthusiast or if it’s the first craft beer you have had, but the friendly and knowledgeable staff are extremely helpful and are willing to go out of their way to figure out what you are purchasing. And for those of you who just want to sit and talk beer, it still a great place to visit!

What a great way to end a brewery trip to Charlotte by coming here and sticking up for the weekend. The guy working here was super cool and talked about all the new brews that had just arrived. I most certainly will be back to try more NC ales next time I’m in town.

As someone who loves beer… but hates to admit that I don’t really know much about it, Good Bottle Company is the perfect place to wander into. There is no bottle-​shop intimidation once you enter the doors. Whether it is the owners, employees or patrons, you can ask anyone for their advice in making a selection and they will willingly and politely help you.
I love the laid back atmosphere, you can find a few people belly up to the bar in the back, a couple of co-​workers catching up on the patio outside and someone wandering the isles.
I also recommend this spot as a great first date location (just make sure your ex doesn’t stop in while you are there, like mine did). You can sit at the bar and try out the variety that is on tap and dive into anything you like off the shelf or fridges. If the date is the dud, you can leave easily after a drink or two and if it is a winner, then head down to a spot in South End to continue your evening.
All in all, this is my favorite bottle shop and I hope to see them stay around for a VERY long time.
PS: I absolutely love your branding design. Well done sir, very well done.

One of my favorite things about living in South End is being able to walk or ride to Good Bottle. It’s easy to get there just off the rail trail/​light rail. The owner, Chris, is a super friendly and knowledgeable guy. They have a great assortment of beers (bottles and cans) to choose from and they also have plenty of cool events (like Beer Camp or even some Saturday morning events). They do have a wall of cold beer offerings as well. Make sure to follow on Twitter or the social media of your choice to stay up to date on new releases and events. About once a week or so, they’ll run a special like $ 4 NC beers or what not that is just enough to motivate me to go from having a beer on my couch on a Wednesday evening to heading down for one of the 12 beers on tap.
There are a lot of craft beer joints around Charlotte, but Good Bottle is definitely one to frequent.

The best place I’ve found to get some great and unique microbrews. I love that I can make my own six packs so I don’t have to be tied down to one choice and can mix and match for any occasion.
I also love that you can buy any bottle to drink in the store or saddle up the bar and get some unique drafts from the 12 or so taps.
The only downside is that the drafts are bit more expensive than most places especially if you get them in half pints (for variety). However, the owners are always great to give you a recommendation based on what you like so I have never regretted trying a pint of something I’ve never had before.

Just now realizing I hadn’t wrote a review for these guys so here goes…
First, the place is managed and owned by some of the nicest people you will meet. This is a no pressure kind of place and they are more than happy to help you find what you are looking for and if they don’t have it, they normally know when or if they can get it.
Secondly, the place is chock full of beers of all kinds and organized by style which makes it super easy to find a new style or a old favorite.
Lastly, is the fact they have super great beer on tap almost all the time and will fill growlers for you. Not to forget, they have stainless steel growlers for sale there as well. Makes an awesome gift for beer nerds.
Parking is adjacent and Penn Station is right next door if you get hungry after hanging around to have a few.

I usually haven’t been to many places like Good Bottle, but now that I have, I will definitely try to get out here more often! The selection of beer here is definitely not what you would get going into your neighborhood grocery store. Hell, you may not even find a good portion of these brews in a Total Wine.
The location is alright, located in South End, for me it’s on the opposite side of town.
The interior has an accurate feel for the kind of business– bar and small brew market. TV’s, bar seating, restrooms.
Unless drinking at the bar, the beer is available mostly in bottles I’d say. You buy by the bottle, but their packaging is in cardboard 6-​packs. Some brews are available in cans, some are also available cold, in refrigerators. Growlers dude. Great set-​up.
Ideally, if you’re looking for a rare brew you can’t find most places, this is the place to find it.

Awesome place! Great for just hanging out or just getting quickly in and out for your beverage needs.
The parking lot is a little tight with a lot of compact spaces and a shared lot with next door neighbors Penn Station East Coast Subs, Unique Fitness, Flight gone MAD, and a Canine Café, but the building is brand spanking new and in a prime location (corner of South Blvd and Remount).
Very industrial feeling when you first come in, but the bottles and bottles of beers on metal and wood shelves give this place a cool vibe. When you venture in the back there is a crazy awesome bar to sit at with concrete counter tops and 12 – 13 taps. On the back wall is a nice map with numbers — then I realized the numbers correspond with the taps from left to right (facing the bar) and each beer is listed at the bottom of the map. The corresponding number is placed in the location the brew hails from. Awesome system especially since I leave a lot of places asking myself, what did I have? where was it from? The map — while visually striking (black and white) is useful and is a conversation piece as well.
The black and white theme of Good Bottle continues throughout the store with it’s beers (organized by type) and little nails in the shelves with old manila tags resting on the nails with alcohol content, price, and more info. You can build your own six pack or grab one out of the fridge to drink.
If you like beer, definitely check this place out!

If there was a heaven designed for beer lovers… I’m pretty sure it would look something like this.
Conveniently located right off South Blvd, Good Bottle is both driver and light rail friendly. The place has a very cool, industrial type look to it.
If you’re looking for Miller, Coors, or Bud… then this is not the place for you. Instead, it offers a WIDE («wide» should be in 72 pt font) selection of suds from local to import to EVERYWHERE (maybe not 72 pt for this one) in the form of bottles, drafts and even cans.
I don’t discriminate against any type of alcohol, but I wouldn’t describe myself as the biggest beer connoisseur. However, the minute I discovered an entire section of pumpkin beer in the seasonal section… I was sold!
More than just a place to shop to stock your fridge, Good Bottle is great place to grab a beer at the bar after work or start your night off here.
Cheers!

Great bottle shop to get some good Bottled Beers. They have a huge selection of Beers and it is divided up into flavors and style sections.
Secret Tip: Go and Get some good drafts on tap in the back. Their map tells you the location it is from.

Good bottle company is a great little place to grab some beer to go or to sit at the counter and enjoy a few on tap. They also have a few tables to sit and enjoy a few as well.
We stopped by after eating at food truck Fridays to check it out. The boys ordered some beers on tap while the ladies got some kombucha out of the fridge to drink. Kombucha is fermented tea with varying flavors added. Yeah it was new to me too until a few weeks ago. It is basically non alcoholic with low calories as it is tea after all. It’s perfect for the wife in a beer store, but the whole story on Lenny Boy Kombucha is for another review. To be honest, I am not sure if you can get beer bottles from the fridge to drink there, but like all other beer places of this type, I would be surprised if you could not. While this place is not near my home, I would not hesitate to return whenever I am in the neighborhood.

You know you’ve got a good place when the last time you were there was at least 2 months ago and you’re still a familiar face… I love the layout of this place… It’s a clean space with shelving, beer and minimal knickknacks…
The selection seems overwhelming because when you’re used to seeing so much Bud Light and Michelob Ultra, I guess your senses perk up when you’re in the midst of numerous craft options… And I might sound like a typical noob when I say this, but I love checking out the awesome labels and bottles… The shelved beers probably need to be chilled depending on how you get down, but if you’re looking for something to taste quickly, there’s coolers on one side and a bar in the back…
If you head to that bar in the back, that’s where you’ll find Chris with all sorts of delights on tap… He’ll let you taste a little to see what you like and tell you all about it… I love the little map on the wall that shows you where the selections you’re drinking are from… I’m a dork like that…
OH! Check out is really fun… It’s all on an iPad and you can email your receipts to yourself… I like that… Less paper to stick in my purse… lol
If you’re looking for a good time, Good Bottle is definitely the way to go…

What an amazing new addition to the craft beer scene in Charlotte.
After hearing so many great things about this place from other Unilocalers an the fact that I drive by it twice a day, I managed to stop here and check things out for myself.
There are GOOD beers of every kind here and all craft beers in bottle, can and growler form. But back in the back, they have 12 taps with a few seats at the bar. Chris, the owner, is willing to help you find the right beer for your tastebuds.
And a great thing is they do tap takeovers here. Each takeover has a theme. I had to come back for the Christmas tap takeover to finally get to try Highland Brewing’s Cold Mountain. They have also had takeovers for Asheville beers and pumpkin beers.
Good stuff, great staff and I have a feeling this place will become one of my favorite watering holes.
