Hi-Wire Brewing

Mrs. K. said that she was feeling "stir crazy" and suggested that we pop out for a drink. So we landed here at Hi-Wire in South End which hadn't quite started with the after work crowd on this week day. Plenty of seating and lots of other things going on including corn hole, pinball machines and a "kick ball billiards" setup.We ordered drinks, sat and watched a bit. Because Hi-Wire is snacks only and you can bring your own food (not drinks!), there were a couple of dogs inside and on the patio which was very cool.My cold Kölsch was delicious and crisp, Mrs. K. enjoyed her beverage and after a bit, I popped next store and got slices from Benny Ferrovia's for dinner.A couple of hours enjoying being out and about, this was very pleasant and I will have to return for a few more - they have a range of beers and they all sound tasty![Review 2222 and 100th Charlotte review of 2024 - 3839 in North Carolina - 23240 overall]

This is a really nice space for beer and games. Good spot to hangout. I really like the set up. The merch is also really cool. The service was good and drinks came out quick. They have a large beer menu with a wide variety of styles. Hi recommend.

Solid spot for drinks and hanging out with friends! I came here fora round with some friends and we had a great time. Walked ver from the climbing gym and it was not crowded or busy on a Thursday around 8pm. We got some seasonal specialty drinks and sat at a high top. Saw some other parties ordering Benny's pizza and it was definitely tempting. The server was friendly and the vibes her were very laid back and relaxe. I would recommend !

Very nice place to hang out! Had a lot of fun at their board game night. I had the Hazy Pitch not as good as i thought but overall did the job i suppose. Would definitely plan on coming back here.

Came here for a wedding rehearsal. Such an amazing venue. The place was busy. First time there. Service was Hanson. They gave a full bar. Really love this spot. Highly recommend if in Charlotte

This is hands down one of our favorite breweries in the Charlotte area! Since we had plans to come down here my friend gave me a gift card as it was a place on my list that I needed to try.The staff is so sweet and we came here three times during our short time within Charlotte. There are lots of options to choose from with a wide range of abv based on your beer type preference. The space is huge and family friendly as well.We had quite a few IPAS and we were enjoying each others company as getting well to know the brewery manager Katie that we never took pictures of our beers lol.When you're having a great time, sometimes we forget to grab pics of the drinks!

Great space, fun atmosphere and good beer! This place is a great addition to South End. We love coming here because of the open layout and all the different beverage options - there really is something for everyone. They also allow outside food, and have all the neighboring restaurants available to check out. I love their low-pitch and their 10w-40 variations!

Cool dude stuff here. Mountain Water and Leisure Time. That's all you need to start or end your day. Delicious in all caps. Service depends on the time of day. If its poppin and it takes you a while to find a seat, then it's going to take just as long for a refreshment. It's got that cozy industrial feel that we're all used to and pet friendly. That's nice...

Hi-Wire is one of the newer breweries to the South End area but has definitely made its mark! I love the open concept space with lots of big tables, great for groups! They have a ton of free games including connect four, corn hole, and a GIANT soccer version of pool!! The service was quick and everyone was friendly. There was lots of parking in the back as well as indoor and outdoor seating. I got the pink lemonade beer after trying a few recommendations from the bartender, and it was great!! I appreciated the assistance and loved the selection. I will definitely be going back again to try some more options!

I'm not writing home about this place, but I'm not writing it off just yet. I've been here a few times, even sat up at the bar, and I must say the service and staff are just mediocre. There have been times where I've seen multiple staff behind the bar and only one person pouring beer with a line of like 10-15 people. I've also sat at the bar with an empty drink for 5-10 mins before being checked on or asked if I want another. I've also never had an overly nice or excited person, which is always nice when you're not sure what you want and need some pointers. I like recommendations of beer when I go to breweries I'm not as familiar with and I feel like no one I've asked there has ever been very helpful on suggestions.Although, the staff and service aren't up there in my book, I do love the vibe they are trying to give off (great music) and diverse crowd of people they try to draw in with the very full events calendar. They have everything from dog portraits to run club to game night to aerial performances to cheese & beer pairings to silent discos... the list gos on and on, so when I say there is something for everybody, THERE IS SOMETHING FOR EVERYBODY!Here's a quick hit on "the other stuff"... Bathrooms are clean. Lots of merch. Water is located on the left side of the bar. FREE PARKING. Ample seating, both indoors and outdoors making it great for all size groups. Love the bright colors and decor. Seats feel cheap and like I might break them (lol). The beer is just ok (in my opinion). I mean if you're in the area, or see a cool event they are hosting, definitely stop in! It's worth a try... and who knows maybe your staff and service experience will be better than mine has. I'll be back and hopefully my future experiences allow me to update my review with more stars!
