Nerd Nite CLT

Join us every 2nd Friday of the month for Nerd Nite CLT!
We all know that learning is more fun when you’re drinking with friends and colleagues. Thus, Nerd Nite is a monthly event held in dozens of cities across the globe during which several folks give 18-21-minute fun-yet-informative presentations across all disciplines – while the audience drinks along. And there are often bands, acrobats, trivia, and other shenanigans as well. Imagine learning about everything from math feuds or the science of the Simpsons, to the genealogy of Godzilla or zombie insects, while having a few or a few too many. Fun, right?
Learn more about Nerd Nite here.
Tickets are $5 in advance and $10 at the door.

Legitimately a 5 star brewery. Open on a Monday, very inviting space with lifted garage doors/cool art, and dog friendly! The beers are really unique!

By far one of the best brewery additions to this area. Me and my fiance head over there multiple times a week. Staff is always super friendly and they are all really cool to talk to as well. Beer menu is never ending and they have something for everyone.
