Craft Beer on Tap & Bottle Shop
When It Comes to Our Drinks, We Ain’t
Kiddin’ Around
Twelve Taps
They say variety is the spice of life.Â
The team at Cork & Ale takes special care to have new choices on tap every week.
Just the right cold one
We’ve turned the search for the
perfect beer into an art form. Scouring local, national, and international brewers for only the best. It's not easy to make our list.
Bottle Shop
Enjoy the many choices
Cork & Ale assembles to stock your fridge. IPAs, Stouts, Sours, Ciders, Ales, Ambers, Pilsners, Lagers, you name it. We may even have beer made only by monks if you are feeling you need a little heavenly intervention as you sip from a
perfect pour.
Fine Wine
Glass, Bottle, Case
Wine by the glass
Benjamin Franklin was
a smart guy. As he said...."The
discovery of a wine is of greater moment than the discovery of a constellation.Â
The universe is too full of stars."Â
Enjoy our ever-changing
selections by
the glass.
Wine by the bottle

Get to Know Us
Cork & Ale is a place to commemorate historical Waxhaw while looking ahead to its vibrant future. Located across from Waxhaw's historic bridge and train tracks, our interesting history does not stop at our doorstep, as we are in the first building to serve alcohol in Waxhaw.
Come see us and you'll find an extensive collection of hand-selected fine wines by the glass and bottle, a craft beer bottle-shop and taproom, and delicious dishes, from small plates to entrées. We take pride in treating every guest as a valued member of our family.
