New South End beer hall will house four North Carolina breweries
Distro Beer Hub, a new beer hall, is expected to open in South End this spring, a spokesperson confirmed to Axios. Why it matters: The project brings together four North Carolina breweries in a unique collaboration. What to expect: Distro Beer Hub will feature Charlotte-based Heist Brewery and Divine Barrel Brewing, plus Asheville's DSSOLVR and Winston-Salem's Incendiary Brewing, Charlotte development writers Clayton Sealey and Jason Thomas first reported. The space will have five stalls — one for each brewery, plus one for cocktails, wine and nonalcoholic beer. Its food menu will feature small plates, burgers and sushi. There'll be an outdoor beer garden and seats at each bar. The space will have the equipment needed to brew beer. What's next: Distro Beer Hub is expected to open by early May at 2412 Distribution St. The big picture: South End's brewery scene helped define the neighborhood's identity. Today, dozens of breweries span the city, with some of the originals growing alongside Charlotte — hosting everything from first dates to weddings. Go deeper: 12 best breweries in Charlotte

Healthy eatery FARE opening in South End this year
FARE, a healthy fast-casual restaurant, will open later this year in South End. Why it matters: This is the third tenant announcement at Queensbridge Collective, one of Charlotte's most anticipated developments, located at the intersection of South Tryon and Morehead streets (1111 S. Tryon). What to expect: FARE will serve breakfast all day, lunch and dinner. Its menu features smoothies, bowls and salads, avocado toast, overnight oats and egg wraps. The 1,500 square foot restaurant will have seats inside and outside along Tryon Street. Between the lines: Chicago-based developer Riverside Investment & Development is leading the Queensbridge Collective project. FARE is a women-owned business and this will be its first location outside of Chicago, according to its website. "We've had a ground-floor view into FARE's Chicago success, and as we talked more with their team, it became clear they are a great fit for our project in Charlotte," Anthony Scacco, president of Riverside Investment and Development, said in a statement. Catch up quick: Night Swim Coffee will open a shop at Queensbridge Collective later this year. Popular Denver steakhouse, Guard and Grace, will open there in mid-2026. The development, which will also include a 35-story office tower, is where Midnight Diner and Uptown Cabaret used to be. The 42-story luxury apartment tower is expected to open later this summer. Queensbridge Collective will be the second tallest residential building in the Carolinas, Axios' Alexandria Sands reported. Charlotte development writers Clayton Sealey and Jason Thomas first reported on FARE's expansion to Charlotte. Go deeper: 7 Charlotte developments to deliver in 2025
