Where: Belmont | 933 Louise Ave. Ste. 105, Charlotte, NC 28204
Vibe: While the taproom and patio at Catawba are pretty large, they make it easy to find a place of your own. Grab a table to yourselves away from the crowd or grab a seat at the bar and catch up with your date over a cold one.
Drink to try: Limited-release Evening Joe Coffee Blonde, because it's like going to a coffee shop, but with beer.

Where: South End | 2911 Griffith St. B, Charlotte, NC 28203
Vibe: Hyde Brewing's tap room is bright, airy, and filled with tons of beautiful greenery. Their space is shared with The Suffolk Punch, which makes it a great spot to grab wine, cocktails, or coffee if you're looking to venture out from beer. There's even food if you want to grab a bite!
Drink to try: Blue Daisy, because who said dates need to involve real flowers?

Where: Plaza Midwood | 1906 Commonwealth Ave., Charlotte, NC 28205
Vibe: Legion Brewing is the perfect hometown brewery to take someone on a date. Large enough to be able to grab tabl, but just small enough to have a private conversation. It's the perfect relaxed atmosphere for a casual date.
Drink to try: Stay a Little Lager (Hoppy Lager), because that's what you're going to want to do when you're date is going so well.
