🍎 Sip Happens: Red Clay Ciderworks Is Charlotte’s Liquid Gold

July 01, 2025•2 min read

If you haven’t sipped your way through Red Clay Ciderworks, are you even really living in Charlotte? Tucked just off Clanton Road and giving off major chill-with-a-twist-of-adventure vibes, Red Clay isn’t your average boozy stop it’s the city’s first cidery and they’re serving up fermented apple magic that’s crisp, creative, and wildly crushable whether you’re a cider connoisseur, just getting into the bubbly fruit life, or you’re the friend who “doesn’t like beer” (we see you), this place brings the flavor without the fuss and it’s the kinda hangout that turns into your new go-to before you even finish your first pint

🍏 Why Red Clay Is Straight Fire for Your Tastebuds

  • 🍎 Crafted On-Site – they press, ferment, and pour right here in the Queen City so every glass has that fresh-local feel

  • 🍑 Southern Flavors Meet Funky Innovation – think peach-infused blends, habanero heat, dry-hopped brilliance and rotating experimental small batches that keep things spicy

  • 🛋️ Chill Vibes Galore – cozy indoor tasting room and a laid-back patio for those sunny Carolina days

  • 🎉 Events Always Poppin’ – trivia nights, live music, cider release parties and even yoga classes with a cider cooldown (yes, that’s a thing and yes, it’s amazing)

  • 🧀 Food Truck Central – always rotating so you can snack with your sips—BBQ, tacos, grilled cheese—you name it, they pair it

🏙️ In the Neighborhood

Red Clay’s located in the dynamic Lower South End (LoSo) area—just a stone’s throw from South End and Uptown Charlotte so you know there’s plenty to do before or after you cider-up

  • 🚂 Close to Scaleybark Station – super easy to hit this spot if you’re using the light rail

  • 🍻 Next-Level Brewery Neighbors – Olde Mecklenburg Brewery, Sugar Creek Brewing and Queen Park Social are all nearby if you’re down for a crawl

  • 🎯 LoSo Arcade & Game Bars – grab a joystick or throw some axes—plenty of options for letting off steam

  • 🏈 Bank of America Stadium – catch a Panthers game or a concert and keep the party going at Red Clay before or after

💡 Pro Tip

Try a flight your first time in—you’ll get to taste a range from sweet to dry, tart to juicy and if you’re lucky, the staff will give you the inside scoop on which seasonal release is about to blow up on the tap list
