Born in the fall of 2013, The Cork and Cask established the foundation for a new kind of bar/small restaurant experience unfamiliar to the Lake Norman area. Our reputation for helping create the craft beer scene around these parts is surely something we enjoy hanging our hats on but our customers quickly learned and appreciate that we're much more than that!
A healthy list of boutique wine scarce around the LKN area sets us apart through our creativity and carefully curated wine list. Enjoy pairing wine for food? Beer with food? Just eating food? Well, we have that covered and then some. Cheese and charcuterie boards, flatbread pizzas, sandwiches, bar snacks, and of course, our standout tacos.

NEVER eat here. I have been going here for awhile and never had an issue. I ordered a couple apps and saw that the bartender was busy and didn’t want to make a big deal. She told us they hadn’t had a food delivery in 2 weeks. When our food came out I had a long black hair wrapped around my fork🤢Thank god my husband gave me his. Our carrots were white and I knew they were old, celery was pathetic, our pretzels were definitely stale. Just trying to save the next consumer from getting food poisoning or swallowing some else’s hair.

My wife and I just moved back to the area after 2 years in Florida, and came back here to the Cork & Cask, as it was one of our favorite places in the area. Happy to report that it is as great as ever. Awesome craft beer selection, delicious food, and amazing service.

Great spot for some great beer selections. Don't go asking for domestics because this place serves good beers and wines. No liquor but the ambiance is cozy and food is fantastic. A must stop if you are in the area and if you happen to make The Hip Hop Brunch on a Sunday you will have a blast and enjoy the H out of it. Good times

Stopped here with a group of friends for drinks after dinner on a Saturday night. It was pretty busy, but they have plenty of tables including some low tables with couches for a more intimate vibe.
The beer selection was decent, and they also offer flights if you want to try a few different kinds. As far as other drinks they were limited on cocktails so if that's what you're looking for you might want to go elsewhere. However they did have a good variety of wines.
Overall the atmosphere here is pretty chill. Nothing fancy, but a great place to chill and relax.

I should be posting a negative review to keep the crowd down, but I can't do that. Love this place! Surprisingly great food selection. Not exactly dinner, not exactly bar food, but it's all good. Awesome beer and wine selection that changes constantly. Super friendly staff. This is just a great, chill place to hang out.
Please stay away so I have a seat!

This place is really laid back and the setting is really comfy. The food that we ordered was great and they have a great selection of beer and wine. Don't expect many other choices though. Even soft drinks come in a can. I loved it but not everyone in my party was a fan. So if you want to do shots or have some sort of cocktail you should try a different place. The menu looked great but we didn't stay long to eat anything other than an appetizer. The waitress we had didn't seem interested in taking our orders so after we finally got her attention we just decided to get the check

Great little spot up in Cornelius. I can't speak to the food since I didn't try it but they have a great, friendly, open atmosphere and a variety of beers on draft, in bottle, and tons of wines by the glass and in bottle! I was impressed that the beer menu changes DAILY.
I noticed that they do specials througout the week to - trivia on mondays, wine bottles on wednesdays. They have seats outdoors, at the bar, in booths, or at tables, so it's definitely a nice mix to appeal to many different people.
I look forward to coming back and trying the food!

I've only been here a few time but have enjoyed it each time. A great place to grab a beer/wine with friends and they have food options to round out the evening. They have a variety of seating from couches & chairs to booths to bar tables & the bar. Whatever mood you are looking for, you can make it here (sort of).
I've enjoyed wine with friends and a hearty cheese plate one time & a good local beer with chip/dips and a pretzel dessert the second time. Heard rave reviews about their tacos...will return to try them out. Our friend tried one but I didn't know it was

My wife and I went to Cork and Cask with another couple on a Friday night and it was busy, as to be expected. It's interesting because they didn't take our name or give us a number, they just said it was first come, first serve to the tables. So, I'm not sure how that would work if several people were waiting and couldn't remember who got there first. Anyway, we got a table a few minutes later so no big deal.
They have a huge selection of beer and wine and a good sized menu. The wife was excited to see the option to get wine flights. The food was really good and reasonably
