Walking Itinerary

NoDa Brewery Crawl

NoDa is Charlotte's original arts district and one of its best brewery neighborhoods — 5 breweries spread along N Davidson and N Brevard St.

Most of this route is a short stroll between stops, but the middle leg is a real walk — about 1.4 miles between the Brevard St cluster and the 28th/36th St cluster. Flat sidewalks the whole way, just budget the extra time.

Before You Go

  • Parking: free street parking is available along N Davidson St and side streets, though it fills up on weekend evenings; the 36th St municipal lot is a reliable backup.
  • The Lynx Blue Line's NoDa station sits near the Brevard St end of this route if you want to arrive car-free.
  • The longest leg is genuinely a 25-30 minute walk — treat it as two shorter loops if you're short on time, or hop a quick rideshare for that one segment.
  • Rideshare is readily available throughout NoDa, especially near N Davidson St.
  • Pace yourself over a few hours, eat between stops, and plan how you're getting home before the first pint.
