"Located in the trendy, walkable South End neighborhood, Sycamore Brewing is the go-to Charlotte hangout for ambitious professionals in their 20s and early 30s and for their dogs. Beyond just slinging pints, the brewery hosts several large-scale beer and music festivals a year, each attracting thousands of people. Depending on when you visit, you might find Food Truck Friday, an oyster roast, or the Lobster and Beer Fest, which has garnered interest from nearly 10,000 people on Facebook." - Lauren Levine
