First-N-Flights

First-N-Flights is a premier hangout spot in downtown Concord, North Carolina, offering a curated selection of craft beer, fine wine, cocktails, and premium whiskey. Located inside The District Exchange, the venue features an inviting tasting room, a control tower bar, and a pet-friendly back patio, and a dedicated food truck space.

They provide daily drink specials, custom flight nights, and merchandise for sale. The business was founded by Eric and Meg Granillo, a pair of retired Air Traffic Controllers who chose to bring aviation-level precision and hospitality to the local community. Built as a welcoming space to relax, escape the turbulence of daily life and enjoy good company, it has quickly established itself as “a great place to land” in the heart of the city.

First-N-Flights is also a stop along Cabarrus County’s craft beverage trail, Explore and Pour! When visiting, be sure to check in using the free mobile pass.
