We named Good Bottle Co. one of the best beer bars in Charlotte, but the bar/bottle shop happens to be one of the best places to get beer to go as well. The string lights, spare design, and lush plants make for a comfortable and lovely vibe. Swing by and stay awhile for pizza and beers or just get a couple bottles and cans to take home with you. Or, if you’re wise, do both.
