Hi-Wire Brewing Charlotte is the perfect balance of fond memories, a supportive community, and a fun night. Nestled in the heart of South End’s young, vibrant, and professional scene, Hi-Wire stands out from the crowd with a colorful, circus-inspired taproom and a lineup of approachable, expertly brewed craft beers. It’s not just a taproom; it’s a guaranteed good time where quality pours, and high-energy atmosphere collide.
Of course, it all starts with the drinks. A passion for beer is what led Adam Charnack and Chris Frosaker to found Hi-Wire Brewing in 2013. We are passionate about showcasing our innovative lineup in our Charlotte taproom. We care just as much about cultivating an environment where guests can relax, have fun, and connect over the unique craft they came for.
The South End Taproom in Charlotte is so much more than what’s on the menu. It’s the ultimate backdrop for your next unforgettable night out. No matter how good the drinks are, they are just one element that makes the experience memorable. Our taproom features unique activities — an arcade, Instagram-worthy hand-painted murals, indoor seating, and an open-air patio — to elevate your next hangout.
Our dedication to fueling your entertainment is apparent in the design of our bar and its location. Hi-Wire Charlotte also includes not one but two bars, one of which is a dedicated Noble Cider & Mead Bar, and our place in the epicenter of South End puts you within walking distance of many other fun things to do in the area.

Visiting Hi-Wire is one of the many awesome things to do in Charlotte’s South End neighborhood. While we don’t serve food, you have great options nearby! You can grab and bring back a slice of pizza from Benny Ferrovia’s just next door, or have it delivered right to the taproom. But the best way to experience the full breadth of what the area has to offer is to take a stroll on the Charlotte Rail Trail.
The Charlotte Rail Trail is a scenic 3.5-mile public park that connects all the things: restaurants, shops, art installations, bars, and cool breweries in South End, like Hi-Wire (shameless plug). Get to
the trail by car, a CATS bus, or the light rail at any South End station.
