text: Well, I would love to say I could share the same glossy review of this place as many of the other people. I love NODA so I hate to bash any business there, but.... This service in this place SUCKS!!! I had actually gotten the same review from a friend that has been there 3-4 times. I always like to give any place my own personal review form my own experience there. Well, we walked into Growlers around 9:30pm on a Tuesday night, and we got one of 3 available tables left. Our party of 3 people sat for nearly 20 minutes and didn't get any service the whole time!- A guy from behind the bar walked out to 2 other tables and even made direct eye contact with us and quickly glanced away and continued to ignore us! They were not busy at all, and there were 2 servers and 1-2 people behind the bar! Bad day or not, I have alot of friends in the food/drink service industry, and taking care of customers are the only real way you are gonna bring home any money. We weren't looking for pen pals or facebook buddies, we just wanted a freakin drink! The NODA area in Charlotte is just not the place for snobby establishments with servers that only like to cater to thier \"regulars\" or friends (especialy a newer business that is trying to make it). Anyways, I heard good things about thier beer selection and good food. Too bad my first experience lived up to the crappy service rumors.
