On a visit to the Charlotte/Kannapolis/Concord area to visit all of the NASCAR Team…read moreGarages/Headquarters, we stopped into Old Armor Beer Company while exploring downtown Kannapolis. Our visit here was on a Thursday evening in July. We have been to this area several times, but never visited Old Armor until this trip. Typically, we find ourselves here in the mornings when it is not open. However, since we already had dinner and were looking for something else to do downtown at night, we stopped in for a drink. It appeared to be one of the few businesses open around 10 PM. As stated, this is located in the heart of downtown Kannapolis. There is street parking nearby, as well as parking garages. I do not believe Old Armor has their own dedicated parking lot. I was pleasantly surprised to learn that this establishment is dog friendly! We had our dog with us, and were happy that he could come inside and join us. This was actually part of the reason we chose to visit here, since we could bring him inside with us. We actually saw a few other dogs in the building when we first got there. The ambiance here was quite lively during our visit. It was line dancing night, so the entire front of the place was cleared out and full of dancers both young and old. There were a lot of patrons when we visited, but not so many that it was overcrowded. It was darker with some accent lighting and disco balls, which perfectly fit the vibe for the evening. To the left of the front door was an area with tables and chairs for those not dancing. There were also some cocktail tables around, along with more tables in the rear, and outdoor seating. This is a large space, and would have plenty of room for any size party coming in. Several TVs that were playing various sporting events hung around the perimeter. The bar was located near the middle of the establishment. Due to the dancing, we took our beers outside and enjoyed them in the outdoor seating. It was a nice night, and the outdoor space is a good setup. There was a satellite bar setup out there, but it was not in operation the night we visited. The wait staff at the bar were very friendly and helpful when we were ordering. We were able to sample any of the beers on tap before committing to a glass. I ended up ordering the Red Leg Corn Lager, and my fiancé ordered the Mango Tango Bravo. I personally had never had a corn lager before, but it was nice and crisp, and something I really enjoyed! Something I really admired about this business was their commitment to the armed forces, police, fire, and other essential responders and personnel. They had a pay-it-forward board for them, along with nods to those groups in both the theming and the beer imagery. We very much enjoyed our first visit to Old Armor. The beers were good, the staff were friendly, the atmosphere was exciting and the patrons of the place were all very nice. This is a great spot in the heart of Kannapolis to enjoy a drink and take in the atmosphere of downtown. We will definitely be returning on our future trips to the area!

There was a beard competition in process when we arrived, so it was a but chaotic walking in because it was being held near the front entrance. Most of our group had the Charlotte Hornets Stinger Ale - $3 a can, but they had a large variety of beers. They are focused on honoring honor veterans and first responders , which is evident throughout place. They are located across from Kannapolis Cannon Ballers Atrium Health field. We ordered some food, which was a bit confusing at first. There is a kiosk in the corner, you place and pay for your order and you receive a text when it is ready. We split a Protein Bowl, which was better than we anticipated. It was packed with rice, lettuce and beans. It also had a significant amount grilled chicken drizzled with avocado lime crema. Everything was good and definitely worth stopping in.
