A new place is opening in uptown that is sure to be the best new spot for happy hour beverages or weekend afternoons with friends. The same creative business minds that brought Angry Ale’s, Draught, Libretto’s, Prohibition, Neighborhood Theatre and Pint Central to Charlotte, are working together to bring “Flight” to the Queen City.
Flight will be a “North Carolina-centric traditional beer and music hall,” slated to open in early April in the old Republic space, right next to the popular Bar Charlotte. The new venue gets its name from the phrase “First in Flight,” which you can find on every North Carolina license plate, really driving home the state-centric idea. In addition to state pride, the bar also promotes a commitment to the local community and economy. It strives to keep money in the Queen City, and gives Charlotte consumers another way to do this, by offering an environment in which to imbibe and enjoy themselves. The local craft beer scene has really renewed the desire to keep it local, from beer, to restaurants, to music.
Flight aims to offer a laid-back, neighborhood vibe without dress codes or dance parties. The beer will certainly be a focus, with 80 offerings on tap, including all of the Charlotte staples and other Carolina brews, like Wicked Weed from Asheville and craft brews from Raleigh and Wilmington. There will be food to complement the wide range of beers, with a traditional beer garden menu, including homemade brats.
The music will be diverse, and will include a house band and local groups performing weekly, as wells national acts performing a few times a month. The venue also plans to have open mic nights on the schedule for up-and-coming local singer/songwriters.
