Fonta Flora Brewery - Optimist Hall

Great Brewery, in a great location. Fonta Flora Brewery features everything you'd expect from your typical brewery experience. They have a solid menu of beers that hit all the main styles and even some newer / less common wine-style brews that I haven't seen before. The atmosphere is very chill, a large space with tons of room to roam around. They have a cool outside spot and are right inside of the Optimist Hall which has tons of food options making this an ideal beer spot. They also have board games! Anytime I'm near Optimist Hall for food we stop into Fonta Flora for a brew.

3 year blend. Quiet, peaceful and cozy little brewery. Great beer selection and quality.

Great brews. Delicious stouts for me and IPAs for him. Wide selection of food choices from the food court upstairs

If you're in downtown Charlotte and love beer this place is for you. Great variety of beers and friendly service. An entire upscale food court is located above the brewery.

This is a great spot located at the first floor of Optimist Hall. It has a laidback industrial feel with ample space to hang out with friends or work from your laptop. The bartender promptly greeted me and was friendly- providing excellent customer service. They make good beer and I really enjoyed one of their IPAs. Overall, worth a stop for a beer or two.

Sadly we didn't enjoy the beers and the bartender/owner (I presume). He seemed cold and uninviting despite it being slow. The location is convenient to the food hall, but the brewery was dead in comparison to the food hall.Overall the beers and atmosphere were unenjoyable.

Super cute spot, got two beers, one was great and the other was so sour it was absolutely undrinkable. The vibe is nice, service was quick, they have indoor and outdoor seating (pet friendly). I'll definitely go back! Will steer clear of the sours though, even as a sour lover.

Really good selection. My favorites were the stouts and porters. The barrel one was legit and will be coming back for in the future. They got some boozy slushies too for that hot day.

My friend and I stopped in to grab a beer and had a fun time. It was the Hop Beard (an IPA) for me and the What I Love (a Wild Ale) for her. I like that they offer interesting beers. If you are at Optimist Hall check out Fonta Flora.

Great location. Amazing beers. Even better people. Love coming here and grabbing food upstairs then eat it with a FF beer. Cool atmosphere. Smells like an old crayon factory. Love it.
