North Carolina Breweries History: Southend Brewery

Southend Brewery and Smokehouse opened in Charlotte, NC on April 22, 1995. Southend Brewery opened their Charleston brewery on June 1, 1996. Southend Brewery then opened facilities in Raleigh and Jacksonville by September 1999 and followed with Lake Norman opened in early Spring of 2000.

Southend Brewery is located in what was previously an unused warehouse facility built in the 1930s. The building encompassed 26,000 square feet on two floors but Southend eliminated the second floor in order to create a more approachable 14,000-square-foot restaurant. The most obvious working feature of the restaurant is the brew house. Located in the center of the space, the copper jacketed equipment can be seen from anywhere, including the outdoor patio. The brewery is entirely glass enclosed to keep the line of sight open from one end of the restaurant to the other and to prevent the smell of brewing beer from infiltrating the food and visa-versa.
