12 Best Outdoor Bars and Restaurants in Charlotte | Eater Carolinas

"Easy, breezy, beautiful: Noda Company Store. This cabana-style spot offers something different than the standard Charlotte brewery. It’s leisurely and not too boisterous and has pitchers of sangria and in the warmer months, fan-favorite frozen coladas at the ready, which customers order inside at the counter and take to the beachy back patio (as much as landlocked Charlotte can be beachy). The swinging benches are darling and will on occasion, make guests knock over their drink, but it’s worth it. This neighborhood hang can be a quick pit stop for a hit of sunshine and socializing, but can also be an easygoing all-night-long kind of spot." - Kayleigh Ruller
