Lake Norman Breweries

COVID-19 Updates: On March 17, 2020, North Carolina Governor Roy Cooper has ordered all bars and restaurants to close their dining rooms indefinitely. Breweries will still be allowed to serve take-out and delivery to customers. Visit Lake Norman has been working diligently to create an updated restaurant and breweries list to provide you with information on which properties will be offering takeout and delivery, in addition to any temporary closures and changes to their operating hours. Also, we highly appreciate the hard work of the mayors and town officials of Town of Cornelius, Town of Davidson, and Town of Huntersville for their hard work during this unprecedented crisis.
