The 48 best Charlotte, North Carolina breweries and craft beer

We always make sure to make a stop at Birdsong when we are in town. Mike and Nelson took excellent care of us on an otherwise quiet afternoon. Lots of seating available inside and out and fun but not too loud music. Peanuts a plenty and a food truck outside made for a very pleasant afternoon.

Awesome craft brewery with ample indoor and outdoor seating. Most pints are $5-6 which is such a relief compared to other breweries in the area. Weekly specials are even cheaper. You can use all that money you saved to tip your bartenders! 😁

My wife and I love Birdsong. We have started going there at least once a week, as it is just off the trail it is a great reward after a long walk. The bartenders, especially Mel, Neilson and all the others are spectacular. The beers are always great. Just had Party Starter (Oktoberfest) and it is sooo damn good. Also you can’t beat the prices. For a craft brewery to keep their prices this reasonable is a rarity. It is always a welcoming space. They do allow dogs, which we aren’t dog people, but most of the dog owners that go there are respectful and don’t allow their dogs to misbehave which we are grateful for. All in all it is a must visit brewery. Get a Rewind Lager, enjoy the music which is always great and unwind. Keep up the great work!!!

Lovely people and bartenders who make an effort to get the right beer for you. I appreciated the samples to find the right fit. I liked the vibe and the lack of TVs. There's boardgames you can check out and plenty of books. Good stuff.

Cute little craft brewery in Charlotte. Parking is available in a small lot or on the street. Indoor and outdoor seating available. No food options other than a food truck but they do have bowls of peanuts on the picnic tables outside. They offer year round,seasonal and limited release beers so a nice selection. Tried their Rewind Lager (4% ABV). Very light and refreshing. Definitely a fun way to enjoy a lazy Sunday afternoon!

I’m not a brewery fan, give me a winery any day. However I was here for a special event, and I had their blueberry strawberry sour and it was so delish and refreshing. Place was spacious and very clean. They had a live dj going and a food truck, so I can definitely see it can be a fun place to meet up with some friends and just vibe out when weather is great.

Visited Birdsong for the first time, great beer with a good selection and something for every palette. Was pleasantly surprised with the Jalapeño lager and chocolate raspberry stout. The location has plenty of indoor seating and outdoor seating, some with fire table and others with outdoor heaters. Also love it when breweries offer free tasting portions to help choose your beer, thanks Birdsong! Hope to come back soon!

The Carolina Quencher is absolutely my favorite beer 🍻 Most importantly, we always enjoy spending time here because they go above and beyond to operate a state-of-the-art brewery with special events and food trucks. They are LGBTQ 🏳️‍🌈 friendly and support the community through meaningful events such as their 5K Run. We really love and highly recommend this adorable brewery.

This is a beautiful establishment with a wide range of seating options. The venue is large and there is also an outside venue where dogs are welcomed. The drinks are amazing and the staff are super friendly. This is a great place to visit and relax with everyone, even your animal companions. Thank you NoDa Brewing Company for a wonderful experience. We will definitely be returning and we highly recommend this place.

We loved going to NoDa Brewing when we lived in Charlotte-it was one of our favorite spots. The Tin Kitchen food truck was always there serving up consistently delicious food, and the outdoor patio made it the perfect place to hang out with our dogs. Great beer, great vibe, and always a good time! We miss it dearly and look forward to a visit on our next NC trip

I went here today for a paint your pup event. It was run very well and the woman that runs the program is very nice. The beer was good, and they have a new pizza corner that opens up tomorrow so they were handing out “tester” pizzas. We got the caprese pizza and it was VERY good. The man in charge was very friendly and I appreciated the free pizza! This place is great all around.

Attended the vegan fest here this past Sunday and it was a whole vibe! They're still working in the area, so it made it a little difficult to find the entrance , but after that, we had a blast! The brewery is nice. The festival is kid friendly. The food trucks were tasty and the music kept us dancing. If you get a chance, definitely pull up. You won't be dissasppointed. They have some seating, but you can always bring your own.

Have been stopping here since they opened but they are losing it. Very expensive flights, make sure you sample your beers limit 3 now before paying for a beer, once you buy, NO MORE FREE SAMPLES. Crazy customer treatment for this OG brewery I used to love. Not a place I will recommend any more. Their current philosophy is a loser for craft beer taprooms, where they originally were great! Please close, better available breweries

Incredible local brewery! One of the oldest in Charlotte and it really shows cause they know what they're doing. Beautiful location & cozy taproom. Would recommend trying the Captain Peanut Butters Foggy Morning (pictured) it's a peanut butter porter aged for 1 year (!!) In whiskey barrels. It was fantastic.

Wooden Robot was a really fun and quirky brewery, with great IPAs and an awesome outdoor setup. I loved the artwork that adorned the walls of the establishment, which even included a great piece of art in the restroom! Like I said, my IPA was great, and was just one of the many that the brewery had on the menu. Overall, Wooden Robot was an awesome brewery, and I'd love to come back in the future to try some more of their brews!

Great selection of beers. Extremely friendly staff. They were offering me samples every time I went up to the bar. Food is limited, but very fresh. My daughter loved the chips and queso. The chicken sandwich was fresh and not greasy. It does need some hot sauce or more flavor in the breading. My husband liked his cheeseburger, but for a smash burger it was missing the buttery crispy edges, French fries are a must. Get a full size order. They would do so well if they offered all kinds of dipping sauces. The fries are so good, but hearty enough to withstand some added pizzazz of mayo, ketchup, mustard, chili sauce, and cheese based dips. We’ll go back or even try the NODA location.

Had a 4 1/2 hour layover after spending a week with my bro in Miami on my way to Munich (Oktoberfest). 12 Dollar for the fries and the burger.. great Pilsener selection. Would come here again. Service is fast and friendly.

Wooden Robot Brewery is a gem in the heart of the city, offering an exceptional selection of craft beers that cater to both seasoned aficionados and newcomers alike. From the moment you step inside, you’re greeted by a warm and inviting atmosphere, complete with rustic wooden accents and a lively vibe that makes it an ideal spot for socializing or unwinding after a long day. One standout beer is their "Ghost in the Machine," a New England IPA that boasts a hazy appearance and a burst of tropical fruit aromas. Each sip delivers a delightful balance of juicy hops and a smooth mouthfeel, making it dangerously drinkable. The citrus and stone fruit flavors linger pleasantly, leaving you eager for another round. The brewery also offers a rotating lineup of seasonal brews, including stouts, sours, and lagers, ensuring that there’s always something new to try. The knowledgeable staff are more than happy to guide you through their offerings and recommend food pairings from their onsite food trucks, which complement the beer perfectly. In addition to the outstanding beer, Wooden Robot Brewery frequently hosts fun events, from trivia nights to live music, creating a sense of community that keeps patrons coming back. Whether you're stopping in for a quick pint or planning a leisurely afternoon with friends, Wooden Robot Brewery is a must-visit destination for anyone looking to experience top-notch craft beer in a friendly and welcoming environment.

Our first stop in Charlotte. Huge, clean Brewery with lots of indoor and outdoor seating. I had the Robitico, it was clean crisp and refreshing.

Run, do not walk, and buy some Currywurst (they call it curry fries) while they still have it on the menu for Oktoberfest. I lived in eastern Germany (Leipzig) for 2 years, and Currywurst is everywhere. The brat is American level spicy, actual German brats are much milder. But the sauce is absolute perfection. Pairs well with the Botoberfest bier. Prost!

This place is incredible for Celiacs like me! My fiancé and walked in here during our vacation not knowing that almost ALL of the beers are gluten reduced - what an amazing surprise that was for me! I was able to try so many styles of beer (most for the first time ever) and had absolutely no gut issues or reactions afterwards. For those who don't care about the gluten - my fiancé said there's no way he could tell the beers were gluten reduced, and he would definitely order them again if he saw them on the menu. 10/10, would recommend to anyone with gluten intolerance or Celiacs. I recommended the sours, especially True Survivor!

Visiting from out of town and was told by locals to come visit. They were not wrong! First of all, I didn’t expect such a large, beautiful bier garden so close to downtown. The whole vibe outside is chill and relaxing. We had their pretzel and smash burger and both were awesome. But the beer…WOO! Each beer was just as great as the last and the beertenders were very knowledgeable and helpful. The Hazy IPA recommendation was spot on. If you find yourself in Charlotte please make this a stop. I’ll definitely be back here when we come visit again.

I’ve been coming to OMB since 2016, and it’s still my forever go-to brewery in Charlotte! The ambience is unbeatable, with spacious outdoor seating, great music, and a relaxed vibe that’s perfect for hanging out with friends. It’s also surprisingly family-friendly — plenty of open space and a welcoming atmosphere for all ages. Whether it’s a sunny afternoon or a cool evening, OMB always delivers a great experience. If “Friends” had their Central Perk coffee shop, this is mine. After nearly a decade of visits, it’s safe to say OMB will always be my favorite spot in Charlotte.

Mainly here for the atmosphere, DAVE’S post birthday party, trivia night and we won 1st place. First time here was for a kids birthday party. She turned all of ONE YEARS OLD, but a true testament of just what to expect or not. Great experience each time, FUN TIMES!!! Food was good also! Typical bar food, but I’m picky so don’t mind me on this. The layout of this place is AMAZING, & so was the sunset!

Fantastic spot for German-style beer and comfort food! I loved the fresh Copper Altbier and bratwurst, enjoyed the huge shaded biergarten, and appreciated the family- and dog-friendly layout. Friendly staff, live music, clean and peaceful. Perfect for a casual day or festive night out.

Having previously visited the Ballantyne location, I approached this establishment with similar expectations. The layout, particularly the outdoor area, presents a commendable design. My order consisted of the doner kebab bowl, modified to exclude spicy chili sauce and tomato and cucumber salad due to personal dietary restrictions (tomato). The resulting dish was exceptionally well-prepared. The server, whose name I unfortunately did not retain, provided attentive and accommodating service. I had intended to document the garden and exterior through video recording, but the file was inadvertently deleted. Overall, the experience was highly positive. *Please note that the monthly features are not available on the weekends.*

We love OMB and from the moment we moved to Charlotte we knew it would be a place we'd frequent. It was a no-brainer having our wedding reception here in May 2025. I have all great things to say about this location and the staff. Our point of contact was Emily, and throughout the entire process she was nothing short of AMAZING. She was always accessible, had great suggestions and ideas and was accommodating to our needs. We had a private tasting to decide on our menu, and they made sure to make us feel special with personalized signs and private seating. And let me just say, the food was OUTSTANDING! My husband and I had a hard time deciding, and all our guests sang praise to the taste. And the dedicated team to our day was so sweet! It was an amazing day, thank you all for making our day be that much more special! We are very grateful ❤️ The Cruzes

Wow. Largest brewery I’ve been to by far. Huge indoor area and even larger Biergarten. Friendly staff, delicious beer. Stopped in while making rounds collecting brewery stickers when visiting the area. Would definitely be back if back in the area again.

Hey, Good (People of) Charlotte, you got a great thing here with Triple C, and if you've slept on it, rectify that. There's a not-subtle stoner vibe present, what with the Grateful Dead(ish) logo. Breweries and stoner vibes go well together. See: Ocelot Brewing near Dulles and Widowmaker Brewing up in Braintree, MA. Service is quick and friendly. Beers tried included one of the better Japanese rice lagers out there, Kei Truck, and their Golden Boy blonde ale. The on-site food truck, Izzy's, is absolutely on point.

Enjoyable brewery! Solid beer, friendly staff, and nice mojo. Good amount of private lot and street parking. I’d visit again when in the area.

Run club on Thursday night at 6:30pm. Flat route. 2,3,4, and 5 mile option. 10 runs get a free T-shirt. Great atmosphere, good beer, excellent food.

Great little brewery. Friendly staff, great vibe.

Triple C Brewing Company might be one of my favorite breweries in Charlotte, North Carolina. I know that’s a big statement but there’s so many amazing things about it. The staff are super friendly and very knowledgeable about the beers. They’re always willing to let you try stuff. I love the space. It’s not super bi and it’s dog friendly. The beers are amazing. They have some of my favorite sours and their ginger seltzer is one of the best things I’ve drank here in Charlotte so far. Of course the biggest part is their resident food truck Izzy’s. Everything I’ve eaten there has been incredible. I absolutely love their vinegar fries, the beer, cheese, the chicken thigh, nachos and the wings. Everything is always so fresh and delicious and they are super friendly. Can’t wait to go back!!

Attended a food and wine festival hosted in their barrel room across the street and in their parking lot. Beautiful brewery with plenty of seats and shade. Parking can be a challenge though because their lot is small and parking on surrounding streets can be nonexistent depending on time of day. But nothing an Uber ride can’t fix. While I was there was able to meet recording artist Anthony Hamilton…day was beautiful and the event turned out wonderful.

I went to Triple Brewing Company for wrestling at its finest featuring my son Ian Maxwell. I had a great time.

Pretty good brewery with an interesting twist, they focus on the “percent” local ingredients and actually measure that on their display boards with each beer they have. Quality is good, not amazing. Location is good with a outdoor area and projection TV and stage. Good place to swing by.

i come here weekly for the live model drawing sessions they put on! the bartenders are always very nice and attentive, the drinks are so good my favorite is their current seasonal drink with the persimmons. they have a very welcoming vibe here, i totally recommend visiting!

Nice brewery! Had a lager and a hazy IPA while here. Both beers were solid for their style. I just visited Salud Cerveceria Brewery before this and while Free Range may be a bit below their level it’s still an enjoyable brewery nonetheless. Staff were very friendly and personable and definitely elevated the experience. I’d visit again and get some higher ABV options next time.

Went to their annual New Year’s Day free soup event, and it was so cool. Literally free, of course can give a donation but they don’t require it. So many soups and breads and baked goods to chose from. Everyone was so friendly and just there to have a good time with yummy eats. I’ve never gone on a regular day, but the vibe I got there was awesome. I’d definitely want to go back and check them out.

Excellent beers with an eclectic selection of well crafted brews!

Very cool dog friendly brewery with a variety of unique and interesting brews to capture your attention. Interesting beer like side pour brown ale, a gruit (unhopped style), sours, and a sourdough beer you MUST try. Amazing bartenders. Highly recommended

Easy spot to grab a drink in Camp North End. Cute patio out back with city views! I really wish they had cocktails (they have liquor but no cocktails). I improvised by getting the frozen lemonade and having them add vodka. It was good!

Beautiful spot to grab a drink with plenty of parking even on busy event nights. The atmosphere is superb. The plants are beautiful and I love the copper tones and warm lighting. Steven and Becca are very helpful and friendly, with lots of knowledge on the beverages with great recommendations. As someone who isn’t jazzed about sours, and prefers pale ales, the sours they have available are enjoyable which speaks volumes about their craft. I enjoy the events they have as well, especially wrestling. Highly recommend this spot for drinks, gatherings or relaxing. I enjoyed working on a small project here. I was not rushed by the associates while working on my drawings while enjoying my beers, either. I think this location elevates the environment with its intentional displays of tasteful plants, and art, and you don’t get that with a lot of breweries these days. Some breweries are very rugged and bare bones, and more production focused than presentation focused. Lenny blends their production side / equipment into the building which is subtly visible from the tap room and it adds an industrial touch to the already beautifully balanced interior of the building. They support local art as well, which is admirable.

Nice selection of craft beers. Had a sour and hazy ipa, both great. Just a few things to eat but both sandwiches I tried were tasty. It was too hot outside to sit but the inside area had a nice family friendly vibe

Friendly staff, sweet indoor space with hanging plants and plenty of outdoor space as well. A top notch brewery experience! The beer experience was great as well, I had a belgian trippel, as well as a sour, and both were crisp, satisfying and enjoyable to consume. They are also somewhat dog friendly (dogs allowed outside, with a gate kind of like a dog park).

Great beers with friends here. Staff is phenomenal. Lenny boy is the next big brewery to come out of Charlotte. Darts and corn hole and boardgames. If you don't like beer they have a variety of non alcoholic kombucha. The food truck that serves here changes from time to time. Pretty big location. They used to allow dogs inside but unfortunately it's outside only now.

Fantastic. Lenny Boy may just be the best Kombucha in the world. The experience is wonderful because the staff is so knowledgeable and enthusiastic. The art work all over the walls is really intriguing. Oh and they have a plant show and a artist marketplace... the food is simple but really good.

I like their beer and their kombucha. Today they had a strawberry inspired selection and live music. They have a variety of beers and kombucha flavors for everyone. There’s plenty of inside and outside seating. There are 2 bars and 2 large rooms. They have a good food menu as well! Great place to go with friends or even on a day date.

NC's only organic beer and great kombucha! Can't beat the kombucha! I really like the way they experiment with beer. Recently i have gotten into sours and wild ales and this is one of the few breweries that has them. Should be moving into their new facility by labor day! Update on 4/23/21...Chevalier Stout, possibly the best bourbon barreled aged stout I've had!

We held our rehearsal dinner and wedding welcome party at Heist Brewery (in the Canteen Space) and had a wonderful experience. The food was great, the room itself is super spacious and Courtney was a wonderful event manager. They worked with us to customize a menu and set up the room exactly how we wanted it. The Canteen Space has everything you need, including a large bar, stage, speakers and projector. We didn't really even have to bring much decor because it's a great space on its own!

Seen this place on a youtube video but by the time I made it in their menu had changed. Well enough I didn’t find to many items i was interested in. Had steak skewers that were severely underserved portion wise (for 16 dollars) but they tasted well. Also, a wrap and sweet potato fries. Food got a solid 5/10. The ac was broken so as they let more people in it did get hotter.. I wasn’t impressed or maybe it wasn’t the place for me. *** They a nice parking lot compared to other places in the area!

This review is solely for the brunch! Love the brewery otherwise! They've raised the prices of the brunch and gotten rid of the included drink. It's now $22 (plus tax and tip) for mediocre food. Not really worth it for the food but the location and the environment are fun. Plenty of parking and you'll pay more for food elsewhere. The omelette was ridiculously greasy. I just wish the food tasted better.

Decade old Charlotte brewpub turned pillar of beer scene continues to provide reliably excellent craft beers (hazy IPA, pastry stout, fruited sours - sure - but also more traditional styles too) and delicious food. Expansive space with two bar rooms, one including table service, and a great outdoor patio. Friendly staff are happy to help you find what you’re looking for. Service is fast. Just a great place to get great beer, eat delicious food (we had the amazing cheese fries and Brussels appetizers and the chicken waffle tacos and pork tenderloin skewers - all delicious), people watch, and relax. Dog friendly.

Great food, great drinks. Parking is limited and spots are pretty tight. Seating is open and mostly group-seating long tables. Food was prepared quickly and delivered to your table. Only downside is food is a little pricey for what you get ($14 for 3 sliders is pretty steep imo), and their menu isn't as robust as it was pre-pandemic. It is convenient that you can order food and drink at all the bar, so it can all go on one tab. The guy at our bar station taking orders was awesome and never had to re-ask us our name after the first order. We'll definitely be back, but probably just for drinks from now on.

I don’t like to give less than 5 unless something happened that made me not want to come back. I’ve been here a few times and usually enjoy the food. The beer is where it’s at though, I very much enjoy their selection. We came during lunch on a Friday and it was an overall good experience. I got the Cesar chicken wrap, it was just okay. I would’ve liked to see it be saucier and maybe have Parmesan cheese in it. It was a bit dry so that’s my suggestion. We also got the quesadilla, as pictured. Overall, I’ll be back. The service was great and the atmosphere is good.

I have been to many restaurants and brew houses, this has by far been amongst the top best places to drink. We had such a great dining experience. Bryan was a terrific server who made excellent drink and menu recommendations. We had to let his manager Monica know how excellent of an experience we had. The drinks were delicious and the food was outstanding. We love in Greensboro, an hour and a half away, and I am willing to come back just to eat and drink here. My apologies for the vulgar video poking fun at Guy Fieri’s autograph plaque. I have no respect for that guy and think he is an insult to the food community. But, I highly recommend anyone to come here and enjoy the food, drinks, great service, and ambiance.

Drove up for a quick lunch. Pumpkin beers are back on tap. Got a few flights, our server was great me The fried pickles were light and crispy, the buffalo chicken wrap and bbq burger were excellent. Took a few 4 packs home. Not our 1st time, we'll definitely be back.

Great location huge with tons of tables tvs, and entertainment. Huge counter top with great views of the brewery! Super clean and friendly staff great selections of beer and drinks. Staff was awesome. Food was underwhelming. Plenty of options,but price point to quality has a disconnect. Prices are for upper tier food and quality was more or less hole in the wa grease spoon.

Wow! I can’t believe I never came here! What an absolute treasure. This beer garden serves up craft brew from 4 different brewers and spirits from another. The choices are off the charts! I tried sours, ales, stouts, cider, and lagers. The atmosphere is fantastic, the pizza was fresh and was delicious. The service was great. This place literally has something for everyone.

Loved this brewery in lower South End Charlotte. Took the train to the Scalybark station and then it was an easy walk to the circle of breweries. Wonderful outdoor space with corn hole and lots of seating. Wings looked good for wing night.

We had a wonderful experience at Brewers at 4001 Yancey. The pizza was cooked perfectly, and the presentation was beautiful. The staff was very accommodating and helpful, making our visit enjoyable.

Another wonderful experience so good that I didn’t even remember to take pictures of all the wonderful food we had during our time. Between the phenomenal hospitality and delicious food I got lost in such a great time here! Shoutout to Cooper ,our wonderful server, that facilitated such a beautiful experience for us! We were just stopping in for a quick lunch and left with so much more! I want to give another shoutout to the manager Brad for taking the time to stop by our table and check on us making sure we were doing good! A wonderful touch that really escalated a casual lunch date to one of our new favorite spots we can’t wait to visit again ! Please try their imperial cider when you come in 100/10❤️

Such a great atmosphere and a good choice of beer. The staff were attentive and friendly, and the place had a lively but relaxed vibe. The interior was cozy and well-designed, making it a perfect spot to hang out with friends. Prices were reasonable for the quality.

Shavoyah with Offline - This is a nice intimate bar. The food and beer was good and service was wonderful as well. I had the Korean grill cheese. It came out fast and hot. So delicious. I got some baked wings to go. And although they were good, I don't think it was worth $15 for only 6 wings. I wish I asked before ordering them. Its an ok place to catch a game as long at you don't care to see multiple as they only have 2 tvs. Overall, liked this place and will return to try some of their other delights.

It’s a cozy place inside, a place to relax and catch up with friends. Did not try the food. My only critique is the beer options are mostly all hop forward and there was one dark beer, whereas I prefer something in between.

Good food, great portion sizes, amazing choices in beers. Highly recommend. Outside and inside seating. A grest hang out place. Veggie options as well!!

We hosted a baby shower at Legion Brewing Plaza Milwood location. We had the best time. Our server, Mary, was fabulous. The food platters were absolutely delicious. Highly recommend the Harvest Salad, Mac & Cheese cups, Sliders and Half & Half cheese board. Great place for a 20 person event for the guys and ladies.

Looking forward to giving this place a higher review next time we come to Charlotte. Spent $15 on a Uber only to find out it was closed for a private event. Note to business owners, Always update your social media. Completely wasted the ride cost and plans. Your decisions around private events need to take into account people’s plans and this did not give us a good impression of your establishment.

After lunch at Whiskey Warehouse, we popped right across the street at Plaza Midwood to Legion Brewing Charlotte… Upon entering into Legion Brewing at Plaza Midwood Charlotte, we were attracted to the wooden furniture throughout its premise. The tables, the bar counter top and even the wooden beams at the brewing area – they all point to a homely and friendly atmosphere here. At Legion Brewing, they bring the community together. Whether, you’re dining, chilling or even working, Legion provides a clean positive vibe for everyone to enjoy its premise. There are some daily specials/program at Legion Brewing. But we couldn’t really make out what does “Vinyl on Tap” meant or whether there was any deals. Hence, we went right ahead for some recommendations instead. This time, they had the following on tap at Legion Brewing Charlotte: Easy Drinker Penguin Pilsner Lunar Daze House Sparrow Saison Hop Forward Juicy Jay Mango Juicy Jay Tiny Dancer Hopchiller Tart & Funky Supernova (Cherry Lemon) Sparkle Party Ikimasui Gluten Free Hard Seltzer Hard Cider Dark & Roasted Slainte Quit Your Wine-ing Ghost of Kiev Red Eyes Black Dragon Wine Stone Bay Archer Roose Diamarine Marc Cellars As you can see from the selection, Legion Brewing has its grounds covered. If you’re a craft beer lover, you have the pilsners, IPAs and Stouts. There are also seltzers and ciders for those who wants a choice of gluten free. There are also wine and prosecco selections. With the non-alcoholic selection of soft drinks and kombucha, that’s pretty much everyone covered. We asked for some IPA recommendations and this time, we had a sessions IPA (Tiny Dancer) as well as a juicy mango IPA (Mango Juicy Jay) which came up to a total of $14 (with $2 tips)… For the full review of Legion Brewing, visit 2bearbear today!

$15 salad…looks like it came from Harris Teeter Very little chicken and bowl wasn’t even close to full. Disappointing for $15.

This place is a really nice spot if you want to go for brunch + breakfast. I went on a Sunday and the outside patio was packed, so expect maybe to wait for a table if the weather is nice outside otherwise inside is usually pretty open. My friends and I got the Big Bun Cinnamon roll and it was really good. I think if I really had to nit pick I would have wanted it to be more warmed up/ hot and then I think it would have made it taste even better. It was just barely warm/ at room temperature, but still tasted good nonetheless. We also got their seasonal Cinnamon Toast Crunch cappuccino and their classic chicken biscuits. The chicken was season very well and the gravy was really tasty. The biscuit itself is different so I can see some people either not liking it as much or really love it. Overall, everything tasted good and the waiters and staff were really nice and the overall restaurant had a nice atmosphere. Their parking lot is really small btw so you will need to plan maybe ahead to find some parking near by. I’d come back here again a solid 7.5/10. 👍

Beer was fantastic and nice outdoor patio and vibe inside. The QR ordering system was down due to city wide power outage so we went inside to order and the bartenders who helped us were lovely. We both ordered the shishito salad (small) with grilled chicken, and this dish was our only gripe. It was put together by someone who has never had a salad, and surely hasn’t tried the one they made. The bowl was small but packed to the brim with the salad contents - this would have been manageable but the chicken was uncut (the photo shows it after I painfully sliced it up), and the dressing wasn’t tossed with the salad. It was also under dressed, and this is coming from someone who prefers less than normal dressing. The shishitos were cold and weren’t grilled long enough as-is. They should rework this dish. At minimum, slice your meats and toss the salad so a patron can easily eat the salad without it exploding on the table. That said, the ingredients were quality.

Great spot that we frequent a lot! While it’s a brewery, their rotating food and coffee (s/o Kelly’s coffee program - the Salted Butterscotch latte is amazing) are also very good. I see they have pizza right now so we’ll need to try that next time. Definitely a must visit if you’re in town, walking the rail trail, or just want a nice spot to hangout and chat.

Cool brewery/restaurant with nice brunch and coffee menu. Had a long layover in CLT and spent a few hours here. Friendly staff, good vibe.

ANNE with Offline - This was a wonderful experience. I had the burrarita flatbread and my friend had the chicken Sammie. Both were so flavorful, perfectly cooked and quick service. The chicken was crispy topped with softest lightly toasted bread😋. They have a variety of mocktails for those who still want a fun drink without the alcohol.

Connor with Offline - The Cubano De Suffolk is a must-try—the bacon is absolutely unreal! The coffee is always excellent (I especially enjoyed the Americano), and the service is consistently top-notch. A spot I’ll keep coming back to.

Food was good, vibes & the DJs were awesome. However, the service was nonexistent (not a big deal), but the parking lot situation SUCKS. We were unable to leave for AN HOUR after we were done, because another parked car was blocking our way out. We went inside to speak to the manager on duty, and he said that he couldn’t have it towed since they were parked legally (despite the lousy parking job) and that he would “ask around the tables to see” if they could find the owner of the car to have them move. We waited for an hour, and nothing... Manager never came to check, never saw any of the wait staff asking around, nothing. During that wait, several other cars also had hard times backing out of their parking spots & leaving too, requiring their passengers to hop outside to help guide/direct the drivers from hitting the other cars. Eventually after an hour and a 1,000-point turn, and the help of several strangers, we were able to slip out the crammed parking lot. The car that had us blocked in was still in its exact spot as we left. I enjoyed the food and the live DJ, and would’ve came back again, but we spent more time trying to leave the parking lot than we spent at our table ordering and eating our food.

Love this place! Resident Culture has great beer, chill vibes, and an awesome atmosphere. Super queer-friendly and welcoming, which makes it feel like a safe space to just relax and enjoy. Major bonus points for being dog-friendly too—my boys loved it as much as I did. We stopped here on the way back to Raleigh, but will definitely be back!

We attend a Philippino festival in their parking lot called "Palengke". The food was amazing: and everyone was so friendly. The bar staff was kind and very pleasant towards everyone. Great event.

Marissa made the place amazing. We enjoyed her vibe and she was so attentive to everyone. There was even a customer that wanted a specific drink and though she didn't have what they wanted she knew where to point them. Make It Rainbow 🌈 IPA was so good we got a 4 pack to-go.

Fantastic place, Brandon was an awesome bartender! Pinball machines, anime big screen TV and excellent beers. This place is top tier.

Great beer selection, a selection of NA beers and delta drinks, too. Pinball and ganes to play with plenty of seating.

The beer was great. The one bartender was very accommodating. The female bartender made a snide remark about wanting to taste beers before purchasing. I can honestly say this is the first craft brewery where I have had that experience. I still made sure my tip reflected my appreciation for their service. And at the same time, I think an awareness should be created that EVERY OTHER craft brewery I have ever visited, kindly accommodated tasting before purchasing. As such, I will think twice about a return visit.

Unfortunately not really the best experience. It seem nice walking in as being very lgbt friendly, however there experience with poor management. They will charge your account. On the menus they don’t give you a cost of drinks and they will magically charge you for tips and they want you to add more on the tip after they force the tipping. I recently heard that the management fire an employee giving amazing customer experience. There is some good employee who care about customer service and help your experience but the manager/owner whomever they don’t care much about it as long they making money without customer knowledge. They state they are lgbt friendly and help community but all suddenly they become politics they it become a stage show. Honestly I don’t come for political stuff but rather good customer service and fine drink. I want to be at peace and I don’t want be concerned that the company will encore cost without customer knowledge and manipulation of giving extra money. Poor experience. Please advice check your prices and make sure how many drinks you order and make sure the number add up.

Enjoyable brewery! I’ve heard great things and it lives up to the hype. Had three beers while here; a kölsch, pub ale, and hazy IPA…everything was tasty for its style. Place has a nice mojo and the staff were friendly and attentive. I’d definitely visit again when in the area. Add it to the list of quality Charlotte breweries!

First off: Pub Ale- Just do it and thank me later- deserves all its validation. Only can buy in a tall can. Other than that, the place is cute and cozy and I love their menu as it suits a variety of palates. Definitely would go back and try more.

Def my favorite brewery in Charlotte! Always has a great selection of beers that can satisfy any beer palate. I really like their small batches where they make a less common beer such as the current schwarzbier. I also really like their seasonal offerings such as the current dunkel. They have lots of interesting events going on too and they do a great job communicating them on their socials.

What a gem this place is. Dana was awesome to have met and she was so personable. My wife and I really enjoyed this brewery and even got their colab with Burial beer. Give them a visit, guaranteed you'll love this place.

Personable and friendly owners! Great little brewery that makes you want to come back again and again! The beers taste great and is offered in various ounces. Snack foods offered for purchase, but there are local restaurants nearby, if you need to satisfy your hunger before enjoying libations. Their German soft pretzel is delicious. They support local charities, too with various events. Looking forward to spending a little more time here!

We had a FANTASTIC experience here! We reserved part of the indoor space for a baby shower and they were incredibly communicative and friendly, had very understanding and reasonable rules about bringing decorations in, and had a wide variety of good quality drinks. Definitely recommend them either for a casual drink or a small gathering with friends.

So great!!! The beer was all delicious! The patio is perfect, and the staff was super friendly. Made us feel welcome. Pups were welcome too! Very good vibes, and even better brews. Parking was easy. Love that they support local charities each month, too. They know a good time, and they know good beer! Highly, highly recommend.

Beer was excellent! Atmosphere was welcoming. Inside and outside seating with games. Bartender girls were informative and friendly. Fast service. Interesting menu options. Donor was very flavorful. Would recommend

Tuesday is Mug Day—bring your own mug (any size, so bring a big one to get more bang for your buck!) and they’ll fill it with any beer on tap for $6! There’s free street parking or a pay lot in front of the brewery. If you park in the pay lot, (before you pay on the app) go inside and see the bartender and they either provide a promo code or a parking pass you put on your dashboard to validate your parking.

This brewery is one of Charlotte’s best kept secrets. The biggest plus is the wide variety of beers and the quality of the brewing. Their medals for best brews are hanging all over the walls and by far they were the most enjoyable I have personally enjoyed in this region to date! I got a flight and had a very tasty blood orange IPA called the Big O, a “Boozy Berry” frozen concoction that was amazing, a coffee porter with a lower alcohol content that made it more to my liking and truly lived up to the genre, and a ginger beer so good I took two 4 packs home! I will be going back soon to try several other brews I just couldn’t work in this time. And to top it all off, the “Thermal Nuclear” chicken panini sandwich with jalapeño peppers and various sauces was absolutely delicious and a perfect pairing with my flight! In addition, the service was impeccable. The beer tenders were friendly, courteous and very responsive! I can’t wait to go back!

We had my son's wedding rehearsal dinner in the private room in October. The whole process was amazing. We booked in early January. Kim helped with booking the event and went over the packages for us. We had 58 people and the space was just perfect. You can dress it up or down. We decorated the tables the morning of. We wanted a place that was private and had a speaker system for toasts. The system was amazing. Everyone could hear. We played our own song list and did a slide show. The beer selections were amazing. Shout out to Keo and Kim. Keo helped the night of the dinner making sure we had everything we needed. I would highly recommend Sugsrcreek for your next event. It was a perfect night to start the wedding weekend.

We visited 6/30/25. We’re travelers and we like to visit breweries everywhere we go, and I’m deep into the Craft beer scene overall. The location is fantastic. Both in terms of brewery hopping access and ambiance. It’s a nice place and gives the craft brewery vibes nicely. Love the decor/design but totally confused how it matches the name (nautical steampunk?). The beer is above average. Had the Big O hazy, the dubbel, and the quad. All three very worth the purchase! Especially the two Belgians, as you don’t see that very often. The bartender/server was running solo but she was extremely engaged and attentive. Top notch. Food: this was disappointing. We chose to save our eating on the brewery hop for this location. Unfortunately we did arrive late (8:30), but figured that would work because the kitchen was going to be open until 9. The chef was very nonplussed that we wanted to order food. He made that VERY VERY CLEAR. While the food came out fast, it was as if he literally asked a contestant from Nickelodeon’s double dare to make it as fast as possible. At the very least, don’t order the nachos. It was a mess with little other than poorly coated generic cheap chips.

Really enjoyed the food and atmosphere. Employees are so friendly. The Hi Creek Fruit Punch Sour is so good and I really enjoyed the Caprese Panini. Will definitely be visiting again.

Stumbled upon this place while waiting for a flight, so glad! Great ambiance, excellent beer choices and we met the owner, Joe, who was such a quality human! Love love love their Belgian Dubbel and Quad- highly recommend! The quad availability is limited so savor while you can. The pumpkin beer is also a hit! The food was delicious and we look forward to coming back soon!

Salud Cerveceria is such a hidden gem in Charlotte! I stopped by for coffee and pizza, and both hit the spot. The coffee was smooth and flavorful, and the pizza was fresh with great toppings. The interior has a cool, artsy vibe—definitely not your average brewery look. What really stood out was the energy—great music, friendly crowd, and I love that they host a DJ party on Saturdays. It’s the kind of place where you can chill during the day and vibe out at night. Highly recommend for anyone looking for good food, good drinks, and a unique atmosphere.

​This spot is a hidden gem! The upstairs location has a cozy, eclectic vibe and the staff is incredibly friendly. We were in a hurry before a show at Neighborhood Theatre and only had drinks, but the food menu looks amazing with salads, sandwiches, and pizza. They have a great selection of non-alcoholic drinks, plus a solid list of draft beers and liquor. Bathrooms were super clean! Can't wait to go back and try the food!

Visiting Charlotte for the day, checking out a few spots before the VOLA show at The Underground later. My research indicated that Salud tends to have good sours on tap. I was very pleased! That guava skittle sour was maybe the best sour ale I've ever had. Sadly they didn't have any cans for me to take home so I had to drink 2 while I was there. I also tried the blueberry sour which was just alright. I was there in time for the lunch special. A pizza and 4 generously sized wings (I got garlic parm) for 15 bucks isn't a bad deal. Hopefully next time I'll be able to try that Detroit style pizza. Friendly staff, cool decor, great vibes. I'll be back next time I'm in town!

The food is top notch and vegan items are clearly labeled. We had the vegan lingo & the vegan meatball sandwich. The vegan lingo is one of the best pizzas I've ever had - vegan or not. The vibe was super chill too. Highly recommend!

Nice hip place to enjoy morning coffee with some chill beats. Place features full bar and plenty of great cocktails. Staff was energetic and fun. Perfect spot to meet friends or let the day drift away. Food was tastey! Perfect way to start exploring NoDa.

I was in town, and although, not a real big fan of Charlotte (as of yet), I’m at least, giving it a chance. I, however, do really enjoy NoDa, which is a very vibrant area. I was hoping to try out a few brewery’s and nearby restaurants, but most were closed on a Monday. I saw this place listed on a website “charlottegotalot,” and decided to give it a try. Damien, one of the beautiful staff members, was quite welcoming, and helpful with answering a few of my questions. I was specifically looking to try out their IPA selection, and of the two offered, I tried them both. Meh… it was ok. I was a bit confused on sizes, but it wasn’t worth the hassle. The place had a nice, inviting, ineffable feel to it. We entered the building through the back, where the patio is, so I was unsure what to expect. But its beguiling atmosphere would definitely have me returning. I saw a few patrons, tucked off in their own respective corners, often listening to their headphones with a book, and others, quietly typing away on their laptops. So, I can tell it’s a great place to chill, unwind, and get some work done too! Or, simply, catch a friendly conversation with friends. They also had a game table, offered bites to eat (no finger foods, unless you count chicken), and a space to relax your worries away. Win/Win. Will recommend to others for sure!

Great brewery! Had a Mexican lager, Czech Pilsner (side pour), and a hazy IPA while here. Every beer was enjoyable with the Czech Pilsner being top notch. Friendly staff and nice mojo as well. One of the top breweries in Charlotte even with so much competition. Free parking may be a bit tough to find during busy hours.

Solid spot for drinks and hanging out with friends! I came here fora round with some friends and we had a great time. Walked ver from the climbing gym and it was not crowded or busy on a Thursday around 8pm. We got some seasonal specialty drinks and sat at a high top. Saw some other parties ordering Benny’s pizza and it was definitely tempting. The server was friendly and the vibes her were very laid back and relaxe. I would recommend !

Hi-Wire was a fun, hip, and upbeat brewery! It was very modern, and fits the city of Charlotte very well! Even for the standards of a brewery, they have a huge selection of beers, and their staff is very knowledgeable of all their brews. The bartender gave me an excellent recommendation for a beer that I was looking for, and even provided me a sample of it before I purchased it. The ambiance was a lot of fun as well, and even though I went by myself, it seems like a great place to stop in and hang out with friends. Overall, I'd definitely recommend Hi-Wire!

Attended the "Cirque du Biere: A spooky Aerial show" here and was impressed at hoe big it actually was inside. I didnt know what to expect but was pleasantly surprised to see lots of seating and plenty of space to walk around also. They have two bars. Main one as soon as you walk in and a smaller second one closer to the back of the building. They have outside patio seating as well and on a Friday evening they had two food trucks out in the front. This is located next to Benny Fravellos so of course slice of pizza is a MUST when visiting this location. Overall, everyone was super friendly and efficient. Th3 bartenders were friendly and gave great recommendations. Wouldn't mind coming back if in the area. I saw they have lot of cool games to play also. They do have a small parking lot in front of their establishment but if you come during peak days and time, good luck! There is side street parking nearby also but you do have to pay.

I’ve been trying sours from all over NC & the charlotte area, but HI-WIRE Paradise Punch Sour is OMG Awesome~!!!! It taste like old school Hawaiian Punch. Hands down the go to this summer. PLEASE keep this around as a main attraction. Highly recommend their brewery

Neat brewery with a great atmosphere. Plenty of options and so much to do here!

Love it! Awesome atmosphere. Good people and great beer. Lots of fun and a great space! Clean bathrooms.

The manager Katy is super inviting and has such a great staff! I love coming in for the events and hosting when I need a big party space. Beers are great and plenty of games to play! Highly recommend to all.

Love Devil’s Logic Brewing in Charlotte, North Carolina. Been here multiple times. They have an amazing beer selection! They also have wine, seltzer and they have this incredible alcoholic ginger beer. So delicious. The service and staff there are amazing. Super friendly and knowledgeable. The food is also very good. I’ve had the wings, Buffalo and Bee Sting. They were both very good. They’re blue cheese dressing was pretty good as well. Will definitely go back and try other stuff. There’s also a great roof top with a beautiful view of the city and they have a really nice private space as well. Can’t wait to go back!

I really wanted to like this place, but was underwhelmed at best. My wife and I tried their fruited sours, and they went very light on the fruit and heavy on the sour. These beers are bitter, and I'm not sure why, but they smelled offensive. It was difficult to drink because of the peculiar odor coming off both of the drinks. The staff was friendly and helpful. They have a food menu, but it is limited and had a handful of the items marked off because they weren't available. Unfortunately, this place just didn't do it for me.

Great beer and cool area. Great outside area with a raised deck area overlooking the skyline of Charlotte. Parking right across the street in the garage, very convenient. They also have food but we did not eat.

Opening day at this new CLT brewery near CPCC. Indoor taproom with garage doors, outdoor tables (some covered), and a roof top with good view of city skyline. 6 beers on tap to start (citrusy IPA, Kolsch, Blonde ale, Pale ale, Oatmeal coffee stout, and Saison) with wine, kombucha, and Enderly cold coffee brew. Friendly staff, happy to be open. Visited again a couple times in July 2020. Large beer selection with a few hazies on tap, Distorted Signals is among the best NE IPA brewed in CLT. Big facility improvements since opening, including outdoor canopies, string lighting, beautiful large mural in taproom, rooftop event space (indoor and outdoor), outdoor projection TV shown on large wall, and more. Super friendly staff. Good food, esp. BBQ Short Rib sandwich. Excellent sanitation and social distancing practices in place. A worthy stop when touring CLT breweries.

What a find. Fair amount on tap, great space, great service. Would rate the food 4/5: we got a grilled cheese flight, BLT, and *mess* around and find out. They all come with a side of tots. Got a sour beer (5/5). Have some merch and a small selection of canned beer to take home. A few steps up to kitchen area and restrooms but both have a chair lift as an alternative. Will be back for vibe, drinks, and service for sure.

Nice place.. they had a nice selection of beers. Excited to see more from them.. love the brick walls and the outside patio is great. Downside is parking but has a nice view of downtown. Will be back

One of the best breweries in Charlotte! I like to think of this as one of Charlotte's best kept secrets. Not only do they brew fantastic beer, have an in house kitchen, great indoor and outdoor seating, but the atmosphere here can't be beat. I love when a business doesn't take them selves seriously, and I always feel like the staff at Devil's Logic is always having a blast. Come for the delicious beers, stay for that skyline view!

Really nice indoor and outdoor space, with some good wood fired pizzas and cheesebread, made in ovens imported from Italy. All the staff was super nice and we had a good time. Love all the outdoor games, board games, pinball. On the flip side, it is a bit expensive and parking is difficult, but the biggest negative is the 3% service fee added to your bill without any kind of forewarning or explanation. I'm not sure what this is for, I'm assuming for using a credit card. I'm fine if places either have it posted, or tell you that there is a fee to use a credit card as I understand the associated fees with using a credit card. But this fee was added without any indication or explanation. Left a bad taste in my mouth, over a couple bucks. I would like it if Monday Night Brewing was a little more transparent with their "3% Service Fee".

Upbeat Brewery with good tunes and lots of indoor and outdoor seating. Looks like they have delicious woodfired pizza. I had the Oktoberfest which was malty heaven. Lots of entertainment options, pool, pinball, darts, bags.

I'm not normally a big fan of food at breweries but I can tell you right now this is one of the best pizzas I've had in a long time. This is coming from someone that lived in New York City for 4 years. Tuesday night is a $10 margarita pizza. Absolutely delicious!

This is a great brewery. Cool bar, great outdoor seating, and a bunch of pinball games to play. I highly recommend it!

Went there for the gluten freedom event, the pizza and wings were delicious, didnt get to try the burgers because they weren't ready yet. I am grateful they gave gluten intolerant,celiac people a chance to feel normal getting some good food with no worries and I do hope they do it again. That being said, wait times were long but I feel like it was to be expected as the lines were out the door and the food was freshly made. Mabey next time some different systems could be put in place to accommodate the large turnout. Regardless, cool bar, kids loved the pinball machines, and good pizza.

I really like the vibe of this place. You can just sit at the bar and drink or you can go play pool or you can even play pinball games. Lots of cool things to do. Oh, and the beer is awesome and the food is also awesome. I will definitely be coming back today. Drink and relax.

Enjoyed the plisner and chicken pizza. Great fun venue, prob a great place to bring cards and play with friends as well

Had a fantastic experience at Alongside Brewing in Charlotte, North Carolina! The brewery has a super great space. Played great music and a great vibe. I loved the retro cassette tapes on the bar. The selection of drinks is unbelievable. Tons of great beers, wine, cocktails and spirits. I had both sours and they were amazing. Not too sour. One of my friends had a few IPAs and loved them. The highlight of our visit was the bartender John. He was super friendly and knowledgeable!! Super dog friendly as well. Can’t wait to go back!

It's a "brewery" by name, but it has a full bar with a really great cocktail menu and the staff is great. The rumchata coffee cocktail on the specialty cocktail menu is the bomb! Went there 2 nights in a row just to have that drink.

Great repurposed industrial space converted to a very nice comfortable cocktail bar. Several nice cozy areas with soft cushioned chairs and sofas. Some bar seats and good amount of high tops. Very good spirits offering, crafted cocktails look tasty. Not impressed with beer offering, average at best beers at cocktail bar pricing.

I was charged a-lot of money for my drinks when I was told another amount. Even if we entertained the idea that I was wrong does $60 ish dollars for three drinks make sense? They did make sure to ring me up a normal amount after i was like this is crazy. Butttt like fam be forreal….. it never 60 dollars deep. With tip included. Stop being so forceful its weird.

Went a few times, most recently in 5/11 for an event. Previously the bartenders were nice and engaging but then seemed a bit stressed (possible due to the number of people present?). The female who was working avoided eye contact and seemed to be bothered that she was supposed to be making drinks. Quan (sorry if I’m spelling that correctly) made excellent traditional old fashioneds. The lady Bartenders was poor in comparison Otherwise the vibe has been great the other times I’ve been—hence the 4 stars. Hoping management can take a moment to make sure customers are content because this a pretty dope spot and I hope to visit soon

Went this past weekend with three friends. First, the AC wasnt on who knows why. Made it super hot in there. Second, the bartender needs to learn how to pour a pint. One of the pints looked like someone took a giant sip out of it. And finally, icing on the cake, a giant sign says that an automatic 18% gratuity is added to ALL bills. Never again.

Love having another chill, cozy brewery in the neighborhood! I haven’t tried the cocktails here yet, but the specials look like such a good value.

The best pregame spot in the city for any Skyla, Fillmore, or The Underground show! Great local craft beer, yummy food, quality customer service, knowledgable staff, and a cool atmosphere! They offer a covered patio, a private event space AND validate parking as well!

Have always enjoyed this place but I was recently diagnosed with an onion allergy and the staff was so patient and helpful in checking to make sure my chicken wasn’t cooked with any and my salad dressing didn’t have any in it. I even heard the give the back of house a heads up that there was an onion allergy. Thank you so much for not making me feel like an inconvenience or a bother and for taking it seriously.

Visited several times before concerts, and review is for August 16th, 2023. Nice little place to grab a quick bite and draft beer before a concert at the Amphitheatre or Music Hall that are both located next door. Food is ordered at the counter, and swiftly delivered to your table. Food service was fast, but the chicken club sandwich was a little dry. Plenty of craft beer on tap, but they would not serve samples "because it's a night with a show at the Amphitheatre". As a craft beer enthusiast, I'd prefer to sample a few before spending $10 for a pint. There is plenty of seating inside, and they have a large outdoor patio, most of which is covered. The patio is surrounded by volleyball courts, so that adds a little bit of visual entertainment. All of the staff was very friendly, but the food and lack of beer samples set them back a star.

Awesome vibes and cool setting. Owner is super down to earth. Food is great. Location is convenient. Overall fantastic!

Really cool joint just off the beaten path right next to the amphitheater on the south side of uptown. Plenty of places to sit and chill including a huge outdoor patio. There are 5 sand volleyball courts, cornhole, and oversized Jenga. The indoor bar has plenty of seats, also. Lots of craft beers from which to choose, as well as a full array of liquor & spirits. The full menu has lots to choose from and during events they have a limited menu that still has plenty of variety. The service is extremely friendly and patient. All in all, very well deserving of the full 5-Star Rating!

The boneless buffalo bites were amazing! I enjoyed the burger with Mac as well.They had a good beer selection and great outdoor seating. Fun to come here before a concert.

Food was decent enough and super fast. We were there on a busy night with a concert next store and volleyball going on. We waited 10 mins tops for our food to be brought out! Good drink options and plenty of indoor and outdoor covered seating.

Stopped by this restaurant for a weekday lunch and really enjoyed the experience. Parking was easy during the week, though I can imagine it might get a bit tight on the weekends with all the nearby retail traffic. The food was fantastic! Everyone in our group thoroughly enjoyed their meals. I had the Salmon Gyro Bowl—it was fresh, flavorful, and perfectly cooked. The atmosphere was modern and inviting, making it a great spot to relax and enjoy good company. Definitely worth a visit—I’d happily recommend it!

Trolley Barn Fermentory has a great vibe—spacious, lively, and perfect for a casual hangout. The selection of drinks is solid, especially the in-house brews, which were smooth and well-balanced. I loved the variety of food options from different vendors; everything I tried was flavorful and fresh. The atmosphere is laid-back but energetic, and the staff was friendly and helpful. It's a great spot to chill with friends, grab a drink, and try something new. I’ll definitely be back to explore more of the menu and catch some of their live events

Great stop while tour in Charlotte. If you have a large 3/4 or 1 ton pickup, street parking may be best. Food and beer were good. You can get a flight. Outdoor seating is available

Such a clean and welcoming ambiance! I really appreciate that they offer a separate vegetarian menu - a thoughtful touch. The noodles and Trolley Barn Trio Dip were absolutely amazing. Will definitely be back!

Bristol was a fantastic host for my solo dining experience! Very attentive, super friendly. Food was delicious, I even got to sample the chicken salad, garam Marsala / curry based mayo, surprising yet delightful taste profile!

Went here after Front Porch Sunday. The service was great. The Ruben was made with house smoke pastrami. Very good. Beer selection is huge. Fun place. I will be back

Nice indoor/outdoor restaurant. Service was great and Amber was nice and knowledgeable. The drinks were good and Amber was able to make great recommendations! The food was good and I like the vegetarian options, however they need to improve on condiment/sauce selection. I am a sauce girl and not having the basics of traditional ketchup is a problem. Do not expect ketchup with your wedge potatoes. The ranch doesn't taste like ranch. The bbq sauce is vinegar base but not much flavor. Good food but if you depend on sauce (like me) you might want to bring your own!

Ok place but some seats right next with cigar bar and if you have to sit there, all the smell goes right towards you. Appetizers over priced. If they busy be aware your drinks will take forever to deliver and guys who bring it will be rude about it. Pizza will take 40 minutes to make, so please add more food options. Few positive things about this place is good music, dog friendly and assortment of beverages.

Beers are always great. Good pizza in the back and nice Tapas. Inside and out side seating options. Recommended. Visiting again and again. Beers are AMAZING and the pizza is wonderful.

This restaurant had really good service and food. But it’s kind of dirty.

Amber has made us the best charcuterie board I’ve ever had. Thank you for taking care of us!

I enjoy this brewery everytime I visit Matthews. Great beer with awesome outdoor sitting. The chartreuse board features a wide selection of cheese, meats and preserves. There is also a wide selection of wines both chilled and ready to take home. Give this place a try if your in town.

I really enjoyed this small brewery in NC. They had plenty of in-house options to choose from (as well as some externals), and struck up great conversation with a couple beertenders. The $1 scoop snacks are admirable! Something to munch on without spending an unwanted amount on entrees or a food truck. Trend setting in Matthews!

Great drinks & atmosphere, but the bartenders talk badly about customers and think we can’t hear what they’re saying. The bartenders aren’t friendly and are unprofessional. Plenty of other good restaurants and bars around the area I’ll go to instead.

It looks like they have a variety of beers but only tried 1 their Mexican ale which is their most popular. Not bad but a little light for me. I think this would be a great spot to come and hang outside on their rooftop area in the late fall when the weather cools. It’s unique and has its own vibe. Not sure if I love it because only was able to try one but would come back to try another.

Good and even better drinks. Staffs were very polite and helpful. Will definitely come visit again.

Great beer, even better food. This spot is a hidden gem serving up sneaky-good pub fare in plaza. From a smash burger done right to legit po' boys with proper bread, you won't be disappointed. The fries are always hot and crispy, and the beer is ice cold. A must-try if you're in the neighborhood.

Nice laid back place, their staff is super friendly and helpful. Their cocktails are also good.

Love Burial Beer Co. in Charlotte NC. We love going to local places in our neighborhood and they have the most geeky selection of beers with the best names and they food and alcohol. I love the space, indoors it’s super industrial and they have a beautiful back deck along with the deck upstairs. The staff is super friendly also! Very accommodating, swift and helpful! Can’t wait to go back!!!!

Absolutely killer spot! The staff is amazing and energetic, they have a great atmosphere. They’re knowledgeable on their incredible beer and wine which is a big plus and they have some really tasty food! If you haven’t checked out Burial yet I highly recommend it, you are missing out!

This place was recommended by a family member and did not disappoint! Artisan cocktails and a wide selection of beers. I tried a cocktail called “the Reaper’s Embrace” a bourbon, brown sugar & cinnamon concoction that was like a taste of fall- yummy! We also indulged In a barbecue burger with bacon, blueberries and blue cheese- delicious! A chicken wrap, an apple jalapeño grilled cheese sandwich and some okra tempura- it was all perfectly and inventively prepared comfort food that makes you want to keep coming back.

We went on a quiet Sunday afternoon and sat at the bar. Leila let us sample beers. I got the Mecdec Honey Ale and Jo got the Kolsch. Excellent designed bar. Worth a visit. No food but they let you bring food in.

Tim the bartender is extremely friendly, He was able to recommend local sports to eat, He makes an amazing old fashion with rye, also does an amazing Expresso martini. I tried the honey drink

Stopped by today for the first time and absolutely loved it. The equator was wonderful but the service was even better! Jessie and Katey were so fun to be around, I would come back just for them.

Love the new location and open air layout at the Metropolitan! I had a flight of 4 IPA's and all were good! Located on the Little Sugar Creek Greenway side near Charlottetown Ave across from Wendy's. Easy free parking in the Metros parking deck.

Staff was nice and the beers were wonderful!

Super cool spot! Love the theme and decor. The beers were top notch and Tommy was a fantastic bartender. Had a couple tasty brews and a great conversation before heading to the airport. Highly recommend!

Really nice place great selection of beers and cocktails. Recommend the Lavender Goldrush. Was like spiked lemonade on a hot day.

I strongly dislike places that prompt you to tip but don't bring your food out, clean it up, or check in on you. Just pay your workers fairly dude and don't rely on customers. They throw your stuff on the counter by the window and you don't know when your specific order is ready for pick up (no buzzers or name calling). The food was delicious though and I like the concept of the bodega/brewery/diner mixed elements. There's board games to play and a nice outdoor patio/outdoor seating (both upstairs and downstairs). The loft is neat. Definitely Charlotte-y character.

Just found out about this hidden gem. Better late than never. I’ve eaten at this place 3x in the last 4 days trying different things on the menu.. Every they recommend was absolutely delicious! Amazing customer service and nice atmosphere.

Common Market in Plaza Midwood is such a fun, eclectic neighborhood spot! They have a fantastic selection of beers, wines, and snacks, especially chips from all over. The sandwiches are fresh and packed with flavor, making it a great place for a quick lunch or a casual bite with friends. The laid-back vibe, quirky décor, and friendly staff make it a must-stop in Plaza Midwood.

I absolutely love this place! I have been going here for years. They have so fun stuff in here not to mention good food! I love coming in here to shop and see all the things they have! great place to eat! the atmosphere is one of a kind and the place is truly so cool!

I've always heard of this place but never actually visited. We had parked right in front of this location, so as we decided to head home, we wanted to stop in and see what the place was all about. It's like a continence store as soon as you walk in, but the further you walk in, they have a bar with seating and then a section selling wines, beers, seltzers, and regular sodas to coffees and anything else you may find at a gas station. Outside of the store, they have an open patio with plenty of seating. A lot of people go and purchase their beverages and then come outside to sit drink and have a good time. It's a quirky cool place, and I'm all for it. Love the ambiance and concept of it. The employees and everyone were super friendly, and there were no issues at all. I will def be visiting again.

This was a really cool place with a chill vibe. We had sandwiches which were pretty good. They had a little bit of everything and had a really great choice of beverages. The coolers had some great captions which we thought were humorous. The cookies they sell are the bomb! Will def visit again when in Charlotte.

The guy at the front desk with the long curly hair was an absolute pure, amazing human. So friendly and helpful! The deli has done a great job with their fast turnarounds and wait times have dropped dramatically. The atmosphere is amazing with the most fantastic patrons, staff, and retail items.

We haven't been here in a while, so while we were in the area, decided to pop in for a late lunch. Menu is a nice mix of bar food, with pizza, tacos, burgers, pretzels and more. Huge beer selection, hard to decide, ask your server what types of beer you like and they can help you narrow it down. You can always get a flight of beers on tap. I got a seasonal Marzen and fish tacos. I wish the fish had more blackened seasoning, but the mango salsa was good. Tons of fries! My partner got a burger that was huge with more fries. I think the portions are good for young college kids since this is near the university. Next time we will get something sharable. Our server was nice and attentive, we sat at the bar. There is a large bar, outside patio and 2nd dining room. I'm sure this place gets super busy on sports days, they also have triva and bingo nights. Plenty of free parking.

My husband and I decided to stop by here before a concert, dreaming of a delicious steak and a fancy cheese board. The moment the food arrived, it was such a letdown—it was colder than my ex's heart in winter! Seriously, our waitress was the shining star of the evening; she should get an award for putting up with our disappointment. If you're thinking about dining here, do yourself a favor and sprint to your local grocery store instead. I swear, even Fido would turn his nose up at this menu—dog food has got to be tastier!

We visited here Monday afternoon around 3:30pm. It was not busy so we sat at the bar. We each got a beer. Monday is 5$ drafts. I got the Saucer Burger cooked medium. It was good. My wife got the Blacked Fish Tacos. I could not finish my burger. Fries weee good. We got a to go box for our fries. Our bartender Izzy was friendly and helpful and made us feel welcome. Would go again and try different things.

If you haven't been here Go! Everything was delicious. Fish and chips, THE JALAPEÑO MARG...SON , all the girls got salad. It looks amazing for salad. Lol

Enjoyed our time here. Service was good, staff were friendly, food was good. My only critique was that we got the dips and got pimento cheese and it wasn’t mixed very well. Big hunks of cream cheese throughout. Had to mix it at the table a good bit. Very minor and it’s obviously made in house which is nice! Looks like they have lots of fun events on the regular too!

Visited this place on a Saturday evening, we ordered beer flight which was good but I felt it was a bit overpriced at $20 for 4 beers, for a nominal quantity.. and we ended up ordering a side of fries, since we had plans for dinner somewhere else… the fries were nasty, definitely refried and not fresh at all.. so although we enjoyed the beers but fries were nasty 🤮

The food and beer was outstanding! Our server was inattentive. The blacked fish is incredible!

The Thirsty Beaver is... officially one of my favorite bars that I've ever been to! The inside of the bar was so cool, it was like a 1940s combination of a diner and bar. They had so much cool memorabilia, from the pool tables, neon signs, chairs & tables, posters, jukebox, hand games, etc. The bartender and other patrons were so cool, welcoming, and easy to talk to as well. I had such a fun time talking to them for a few hours. Overall, as previously stated, Thirsty Beaver is one of my favorite bars that I've ever been to, and it almost makes me wish I lived in Charlotte so I could go more often. I can't recommend it highly enough!

the most punk bar in charlotte. if you’re in charlotte, you have to come by. this is a cornerstone of charlotte. 1000000/10

I don’t live in Charlotte, but when I stumbled upon a post about the Thirsty Beaver on Facebook, I was instantly intrigued. The history of this bar is so compelling that I thought, “I need to visit this place ASAP!” As soon as I had the chance to come to Charlotte, I made a beeline for the Thirsty Beaver, and let me tell you, it did not disappoint! If you haven’t been yet, what are you waiting for? You need to visit it, period.

A dive bar of dive bars, the Thirsty Beaver is the place to go for cheap beer and cheap drinks in Plaza Midwood. It's quite the hangout complete with jukebox full of classic old tunes. Full of character and charm where you can hangout and no one cares. Yes, this is the spot where Mick Jagger popped in when the Rolling Stones tour passed through Charlotte and he was either not recognized or people truly didn't care.

The most classic of classic dive bars. You get what you expect. Had a blast as per usual!

Stepping into Thirsty Beaver Saloon feels like entering a time capsule of Charlotte's past, with its rustic decor and vintage vibes. The history oozes from every corner, creating an ambiance that's both nostalgic and welcoming. Saddle up to the bar and order a cold one while you soak in the charm of this beloved establishment. Whether you're a local or just passing through, a visit to Thirsty Beaver Saloon is an experience you won't soon forget.

Just be a little weary. Left my credit card there the night before and instead of holding for me to come grab and leave a nice tip, someone tried to charge it 20 times with (grubhub, instacart, DoorDash). Def an employee that works there but luckily it was reported as stolen beforehand. Just know that if you leave your card on accident, you’ll be buying one of them groceries and a free meal.

Visited this place after puppy yoga that they held on their bottom floor. We got two seasonal coffee drinks, sandwich and croissant. My husband’s BLT didn’t have much flavor or taste to it, so he wasn’t very happy with it. Coffees were good. My almond croissant was ok.

I'm glad I saw other reviewers that were confused by the hostess stand. I also awkwardly waited there for a bit before someone came in and told me I could sit anywhere lol. Tried the Second Hand Heartbreak sour which was pretty good. It did have the tropical notes as suggested by the Painkiller inspiration. I also tried the peach hard seltzer which was fine. The breakfast bowl with jalapeno bacon was actually very good. I like that they serve breakfast til 3. Not sure I'll be back myself but it's a fine place to go.

We’ve been coming to Killer coffee for years (love it, no complaints there) and occasionally getting food from the kitchen that’s run by Resident Culture. We’ve had our dog with us every single time, and only after about 100 times of us coming here, they tell us that we can’t have our dog inside. I am usually very understanding of no-pet policies, but when they make it look like they’re pet friendly, and then suddenly decide to enforce a no-pet policy, it honestly makes me feel guilty for bringing our dog inside for years. We thought we found a spot where we can be regulars, but instead we were left with very unpleasant feelings. On top of all of that they always take at least half hour to bring your food out.

Stopped in after brunch on 7/5. Hostesses were great and I loved that they were playing 90s hip-hop. Bartender was ok - not the most friendly one that I've ever had and didn't provide much conversation to my wife & I. Not the most welcoming brewery that I've ever been to, which was a bit disappointing. As for the beers, solid selection fo everything from sours to IPAs to porters and stouts. My wife had the Parasol Paradise, a nice sour, while I went for thr Devil Cant Help My Soul, a pastry stout.

Service was fast and the space is very comfortable and airy. I definitely recommend the latte brûlée with vanilla and sugar. I also got the Brazilian bowl with pulled pork. I felt like there could’ve been a bit more meat for the extra 3$ and it’s sorta scrambled in so you don’t really know how much you’ve getting but otherwise very nice experience.

Ordered the killer breakfast sandwich with avocado. The sandwich itself was excellent but the sweet potato chips were meh... not that crispy and some had an aftertaste like maybe old grease?... beer was very good. I had the future sight hazy ipa and I've had lightening drops in the past, had a taste of the sorte(altbeer) and it was quite good.. all 3 solid beers! They also serve wine and cocktails!

Came here for an event the other night. The event went past closing hours but I didn't know since I don't come often. When I went to close out I was told that everyone had already been closed out and they had decided the tip. The event was wrapping up and there were 20+ people still in the building. I get not taking orders after hours, or if someone leaves without closing, but automatically closing everyone out when there are so many people still inside feels pretty slimy. It's not like you have to keep a register open. If you're upset customers aren't leaving please indicate you're closed and ask them to wrap it up.

Came in on a Thursday night right at dinner. Had to wait maybe 15min for a table. They have a great selection of beer on tap and fully stocked bar. All the food came out quickly. The chicken wings were cooked prefect. The Ruben was very good too. Service was delightful, I would say worth a try.

Went to Duckworth’s tonight after several locals told me it was a good place to eat. I sat at the bar (with more TV screens in one room then I think I’ve ever seen, but they were, oddly, not in the least distracting), and ordered a local Charlotte beer (Better Days Pale Ale- delicious, floral, aromatic and crisp). The staff were wonderful. They were all incredibly attentive, polite, never hovering, but always checked in. They served me quickly, efficiently, and professionally. I was impressed with their overall attitude, attention, and friendliness. For food I ordered an 8oz center cut sirloin, med-rare. The entrees come with two sides and garlic bread, so I chose tater tots, and a salad with ranch dressing. The side salad was fresh, cold and crisp. It included red onion slices, which I love. The dressing was very good - a classic, thick and flavorful ranch (not the watery, thin and light flavor kind that some places have). The tater tots were absolutely fantastic. Golden crispy outside, and soft, almost melt in your mouth inside. They didn’t taste like they were previously frozen, and tasted fresh and delicious. I could have eaten those all night. The steak, however, was disappointing. The cut of meat was good quality, and the char-grilled style was smoky and flavorful. It was perfectly seasoned. But it wasn’t cooked properly and was totally dry. Now, having grilled steaks and a substantial amount of meat in my life, I know that grilled meats are tricky. They are hard to get right and easy to mess up. A second too long and it’s dry as cardboard. It wasn’t that bad, but as I ordered medium rare, I felt I should have ordered rare instead. The one saving grace to the meat was that it was served with a finger-licking BBQ sauce that I thought was excellent. Not too smoky, not too sweet, not too savory. Truly fantastic BBQ sauce. Overall, I had a nice time by myself, and enjoyed the experience. Next time, I’ll order the Carolina BBQ Plate and will probably rave about it.

One of the last people in by accident, (visiting from California) I run restaurants…. Sean the tender of the bar was more than amazing, food was pipping hot, tatot tots were crispy and fresh—- at the end of the night! All in all just an amazing experience for my sister and I… 10 outta 10 highly recommend!

Was in town for the Dolphins Panthers game. Stopped in for a burger and a cocktail. The burger was pretty good. Bartenders were cool too. Solid place. Lots of beers and TV’s

Service was absolutely terrible and food was not great either. Our server, Khadija, didn't greet us until 10 minutes after we sat and said she'd be right with us after dropping off a check. We watched her for another 10 minutes servicing other tables before she finally came back. We literally didn't even have water yet after 20 minutes. We ordered drinks and food all at once because of her. She got water and our drinks 10 minutes later, and our beers were not cold, like they'd been sitting at the expo for quite a bit. We got our food 30 minutes after ordering. Mind you, this was flatbreads, a Philly, and a personal pizza. Things that take 10 minutes max. The restaurant was in no way slammed either, with numerous empty tables. The flatbreads didn't taste great and looked worse. Needed a lot more cheese and the chicken was just lumped in the center. The centers were all flimsy and soft and the crust was hard. It was more like a big cracker rather than a thick flatbread. 6:04 we were sat, 6:26 we ordered, 6:55 was when we got our food, and she dropped the check at 7:10. We had empty water and beers the whole time, too, and were never offered refills. Felt like our server hated us as she was refilling and paying attention to her other tables. I will never go here again.

Okay experience overall. Wings were tasty. Service was meh but they were busy so I suppose thats to be expected? Restaurant is positioned in a convenient place and walkable to many different attractions.

Dined on a relatively slow Sunday night. Drinks and food were great. Highly recommend the Fans Only Cocktail and the BBQ ranch dip was fantastic with my tots. Try the wings! Great appetizer! I always get the cheese steak. It never disappoints. Our server Gabby was a delight.

One of the best culinary experiences I’ve had in Charlotte, hands down. The fried green tomatoes were absolutely phenomenal,battered to perfection with just the right amount of crunch and texture, and made with super fresh ingredients. If you go, make sure to try them. I also had the pork belly taco, which was packed with flavor. The blend of herbs and microgreens gave it a fresh, elevated touch. And let’s talk about the THC-infused drinks, next level. Mine had a coconut base that was smooth and not overly sweet, just perfectly balanced. Highly recommend for anyone looking for a unique and memorable dining experience.

The best chicken sandwhich I have had in my life. I tried the seasonal fall chicken sandwich and I have literally never liked coleslaw before until today. The sandwhich tastes like fall, earthy and warm which contrasted the slaw perfectly. The melted cheese was mild and delicious. The potato wedges were perfectly fried with a crunchy crust and soft potato inside that didnt lose the potato flavor. The sauce was amazing. That's not even to mention the chicken itself which was dark meat cooked to perfection, moist, tender, and the batter was perfectly crunchy. Our server Jules was very personable and explained everything to us in great detail as well as providing her preferences. She gave us hot warm towels to clean out hands because she knew that the sandwhiches could get a little messy. The service was quick too! I dont have the vocabulary to describe how good this experience was and how the food was. Worth it 1000%.

This place is amazing. The atmosphere is very nice and there are several types of seating options. The service is excellent and staff are very friendly. The food is absolutely amazing. We will definitely be returning to this place and we highly recommend it. Thank you Haberdish for a great time.

Excellent service and lovely atmosphere. We are visiting from Canada and enjoyed dining here. We tried the deviled eggs, fried chicken, and mac and cheese. The hot sauce is a star. Adding it to all those made everything even much better.

Everything was great. Came in for my birthday. Had fried chicken, green tomatoes, trout dip, sweet potato dumplings, and mac and cheese. Bradly was our server and it was great. He explained the menu very well and snd made us feel right at home

This is a one of a kind type of place with amazing service. The food was great and I would rate it 5 stars because our waiter was so good. We got the Chicken and waffles with a breakfast biscuit. Sides were equally delicious with the cheesy grits and sweet potato dumplings tasting like something out of a story book. Only concern I had was the drink called Drunk Elephant. It was absolutely horrible but our waiter took it off the bill so no problems there. I'll definitely come back again!!

We enjoyed sitting al aire fresco tonight. Such a gorgeous night to sit and people watch - the cars, the cycle tricks, moto tricks, hen party, classic low rider cars tricked out, segue riders, people strolling along enjoying conversation... lovely night. Good food, fried chicken was yummy. Fried green tomatoes were a little hard but the butter lettuce salad was wonderful. Loved the waffle tho son did not. Good experience overall. Our server & team were very good. Glad we got to sit out front since inside would have been way over stimulating for all of us. Very pleasant night. Thank you, we appreciate you.

First time at Eddie’s and we are glad decided to give it a try. Ordered Prime rib lunch special and Red Beans and rice with grilled chicken and blackened shrimp. Both were delicious. The chicken and waffles looked great and so did hamburgers. We will be back to give them a try.

The restaurant has been open in Charlotte for as long as I can remember. Each time you drive by it is always full. Now I know why! I stopped in for lunch on a Saturday and had a 10 minute wait which isn't bad. Once in the restaurant it was busy with waiter / waitresses taking orders and bringing food out to tables. I had a cup of gumbo which was excellent!!! The main dish was black beans and rice with shrimp. Absolutely 💯 delicious 😋! Everything was worth the wait. If you are in the area stop in and get some amazing tasting food!

Went here for Sunday lunch. Saw it had good reviews Waited 10 minutes. Sat. Server took our drink order and asked we were ready to order. We didn't even look at the menu. Once we ordered it was off the races for the kitchen. We ordered the she crab soup. It was good, would have been nice if it was hotter in temp. As soon as I had my spoon in the soup our salads came out. Then half way through having our salads our food came out. Personally for me, I don't like to be flooded with food like that. However, this may be a way they keep turning tables. Their version shrimp and grits was good with ample amount of shrimp. Rice and beans was way too spicy. The shrimp were so seasoned that the season crunched as you bit in. This dish was a fail. When you find yourself commenting on how good the bread is more then the meal itself should be an indicator of food quality. At least for me, I didn't see any love with any of the food. But beyond that, the fact the food was rushed made it less enjoyable dining experience. While this may be a perfect neighborhood bar, I probably would not go back.

I’m totally blown away by the level of quality and taste of the food here. The service was truly exceptional. We were greeted at the front door. The food was delicious there was no way we were going to not take the leftovers with us. Please don’t sleep on this place. If you do you will be very sorry.

Our waitress Anna was wonderful. Never had been to Charlotte before and was told by folks online to stop here. Did not disappoint. The biscuit was amazing and the Parm grits you can't miss. If you are vegetarian, you can ask to substitute meat for a side at no additional cost. We were nervous about a wait but on a Wednesday morning round 10am, it was no wait. Our total was about $22 for two breakfasts, before tip. 5/5

Had brunch here today and I’m so glad we discovered this hidden gem! The chicken and waffles were perfection — crispy, flavorful, and cooked just right. Our waitress went above and beyond, making the experience even better with her friendly attitude and great service. Can’t wait to come back!

Everyone has gotta try this place. I thought it was more of a very generic southern breakfast place before actually getting here, was I mistaken! This place is more like a local, upscale, hole on the wall that serves drinks and smashing good food! Had the assignment Benedict, which was great! Sauce wasn't broken, ham was not to salty, homefries good and the homemade hash was killer. Wife has the South Chicken+Gravy biscuit. She smashed that thing! Coffee was flowing, atmosphere was cool and chill. 10000% know why this place stays busy as heck! Absolutely a MUST TRY on CLT.

LOVE A GOOD DOG! Easily accessible from East Blvd. If you are in the mood for some delicious hotdogs, this is the place to go. They have everything from original hotdogs to coney island style, polish, or Italian sausage. I did notice they added sandwiches, tenders, and wings to their menu. This time, I decided to try their tenders with fries. While they were tasty, I would most likely not order them again. They were sooooo crispy and fried, thr skin portion would just fall off the chicken and if it didn't, it was hard to bite into, very greasy, and just not what I would imagine or want from a tender. I guess that's what I get for being adventurous and not getting a dog, haha! Other than that, service was efficient. Everyone was super friendly, and there was plenty of seating to choose from. They do have parking on site, a little narrow and small, so please be careful when pulling in. Other than that, it is a great location and will be back when craving hotdogs.

Really enjoyed the atmosphere and the service is excellent! Ordered the Chihuahua’s dog and the Nashville sandwich. The food came out really quick (within 5 min). The food quality however could be a bit better for the price range. This would be a good place to grab a quick bite and maybe a pint with friends if you’re looking for a casual spot to hang out and eat hotdogs. Would recommend.

The service was superb. The food was tremendously amazing and bursting with flavor. Shout out to The Manager LaLa, and the crew treated us like family and allowed us to taste all the amazing sauces and sausages crafted by Estaban himself. This is a must try. Stop everything and come on thru.... 10 out of 5 stars without a doubt !!!!!

Who doesn’t love a good ol fashion hot dog? What j love abt this place is they have the standard menu, but each wk a new dog of the wk is featured. I love going to find out what new creation has been made. I also tried their new hot honey smoked wings, the wings were jumbo and very meaty and delish. I love their onions rings, sliced thin and fried to perfection.

They have some really good 🔥 char-grilled 🌭 hotdogs! I don't prefer the onion rings, they are flavorful but the batter holds too much grease and it falls off the onion ring itself. However, the rest of the meal was good. I don't eat hotdogs often just because they are highly processed but when I do I am going to go to JJ's when I'm in town. It's a nice treat for yourself. They have plenty of toppings too and you can custom order if you don't want what's offered on their menu, and the menu has plenty of options.

I am so glad I found this place! There was a large group of (what I guess) friends enjoying the meal and no one rushed them to leave or hurry up. I enjoyed a frank and a bratwurst. The dog was great it had bacon and queso. The bratwurst was okay. I just wasn't used to the texture. The sweet tea was perfect. It wasn't too sweet. The employees were friendly and the vibe was great.

We were so excited to find this gem. I recommend the hot dog with the pimento cheese. It was out of this world. Our kids got the kid's chicken tenders, and even those were delicious. Do yourself a favor and get the onion ring. We were also excited to see Sundrop and Cherrwine on tap. We highly recommend giving this place a try!

We were looking for a new coffee and breakfast place in CLT so we decided to give Smelly Cat Coffee House & Roastery a try. It was a great choice! We arrived and tried to place our order via the website but it was not cooperating. So we had to go to the register to place our order. The gentleman helping us was awesome and got us taken care of. We went with a Vanilla Brown Sugar Spice Latte, Breakfast Bowl and Sausage Egg & Cheese Burrito. Everything was great and we would definitely come again!

Smelly Cat Coffee in NoDa, Charlotte was a decent experience overall. The place bills itself as a café with your regular coffee menu, some food items and desserts. We visited on a Sunday morning and it wasn’t busy. For coffee, we got a dirty chai with toasted coconut syrup and an iced latte. The dirty chai was quite flavorful, and it was a great start to our day. The iced latte was bland, and they were kind enough to replace it for us with a chai. For food, we got an egg and cheese burrito, and a quiche. The burrito was quite one-dimensional: some scrambled eggs thrown in a burrito with some cheese without much flavor. The quiche tasted great—the vegan chorizo really came through in the taste. How to order: You walk up to a counter and place the order on a mini-screen. If you’ve any query about the food, you can ring the bell placed there and someone will attend to you. The seating is available both inside and outside. Parking nearby can be challenging but you should be able to find street parking with some effort. The staff tries their best and is kind and polite. The insides of the cafe seem quite hip keeping in spirit of NoDa with pictures of musicians on the walls. They’re open every day from 7am-2pm(true as of September 2025)

The only thing I’m mad about is that, as an avid latte drinker, I have lived near here for 5 years and haven’t walked into this coffee shop until this weekend. Our drinks took a bit of time, it was a busy Saturday morning, but well worth it. There’s plenty of outdoor seating so waiting was relaxing. We got an iced pumpkin spice and an iced brown sugar spice and both were so good and had a great balance of bitterness and sweetness. I love that they do house made syrups - and you can sample them which is so cool. We definitely found a new favorite spot!

Coffee Shop No. 481 Smelly Cat Coffeehouse Charolette, NC March 13, 2025 We were driving through Charolette, NC and Smelly Cat Coffee House popped up on my Google search. With a name like this I couldn’t resist stopping. The cafe has plenty of outdoor seating with a counter out on their patio to order your food if you don’t want to step inside the cafe. The inside of the cafe has more seating. One of the first things to catch my attention was the use of old paint chipped doors to create individual spaces for customers. The baristas were very friendly and helpful. I caught one of them napping in front of the mural on the side of the building. Don’t worry she knows I took a picture of her. My cortado was delicious. Enjoying life one cortado at a time!

It's a very popular place amongst locals. Coffee is great, both cold and hot (surprised by this, typically Carolina folks are not strong in hot espresso drinks). Few things to improve: cleaner instructions for how to order for inside and outside seating, and dedicated space for customers with dogs.

We are in Charlotte for a convention and we have went to Smelly Cat two days in a row for amazing coffee! Cold brew is on point and also had a dirty chai this morning that totally hit the spot. Their biscuits are also very tasty and the service is great!

SO friendly and SO good!! This was my first time coming here and I didn’t quite know how the process worked with pick up and ordering but I came with my dog so I sat outside on their patio. Multiple employees came and brought a “pup cup” unprompted, lots of pets, and even brought a water refill for the dog! I felt very welcomed and so did the pup. One employee even brought my coffee out to me when it was ready, rather than having me go up to the window. So kind!

Cool friendly place with a lot of beers on tap. Got the margarita pizza. Perfect for Jo and I to split. Graehme who has a difficult name to spell. (I asked him twice is this the correct spelling? ) he rocks. He is also an identical twin. He was helpful finding us cool beers and cocktails.

Great bar in South End. This place is awesome - great bartenders, huge beer list. Good vibes. Can’t recommend enough.

Loved Craft Tasting Room & Growler Shop in Charlotte NC. Went there while I was at Lincoln Street cocktails! Loved the vibe! They had an amazing beer selection and a super friendly and accommodating staff. They steered me towards a watermelon sour- so good!!! They let me try a few things! Definitely want to go back and try other beers and the food!

This place has an awesome low key cozy feel. They have bunch of beers or tap so there is something for everyone. The inside is small, but the atmosphere is awesome. There is also a nice patio outside for warmer days. There is a limited food menu, but what they do offer is awesome. The pizzas are small, but delicious. Free peanuts too. Overall only have good things to say.

AMAZING Cheeseboard!!! The “Roasted Red Pepper & Cracked Peppercorn - Cheddar Gruyere” cheese was AMAZING! Great selection of beer, the stouts and porter were perfectly strong and bitter 🤤 customer service was great and fast. I definitely recommend.

A fun environment for the beer fanatic! Great place for first date. Outside space shaded. Clean bathrooms. Extended canned beer collection to purchase take-aways.

Went here on a Wednesday with my girl and found out that have $6 cheese boards and $6 charcuterie, I will for sure be back on Wednesday just for this lol. We got one of each and they were bomb! We also got the beer flight and got to choose 5 beers out of a ton on draft. The ONLY reason I didn’t give it 5 stars is because we went back at 945 to order a couple of flatbreads and they said they’re kitchen closed an hour before closing time which is 11… so there were 15 minutes left which I know is enough time to cook a flatbread. Disappointed they closed earlier than they should’ve and we didn’t get to try them this time but will be back for sure and I recommend it!

OMG, this is some of the best cider EVER! Such a hidden gem and an absolute must-try. They have so many options, and every single one is delicious. I also love the ambiance and vibe—it’s the perfect spot to relax and enjoy great drinks. The food is really impressive, too, and their cider cheese completely changed the way I think about beer cheese. Highly recommend!

The woman helping us tonight was great! The ciders are good. The decorations for halloween were fun. The seasonal pumpkin cider was AMAZING! THAT IS WHY I GIVE IT 5 STARS. that cider was perfect.

Very, very, good beverage selection. Super friendly bar keepers and workers.

The atmosphere is bland. It is more of a thrift shop then a place to enjoy a cider and most of the flavors they were out of. When asking about the flavors and or what was available they declined to offer good customer service by pointing and saying thats whats available. I would say service and atmosphere leaves a lot to desired.

Finally got to stop by RCC after having had their blackberry bramble a few times at beer tasting events and finding it on a few shelves. Very glad I did. They had 16 or 17 options plus a few local brewery beers on tap, and ciders ranging from low 4% to 8%+ and from sweet to sour to spicy. Everything was really good but the razzberry bramble knocked my socks off today. The gentlemen at the bar who helped us out was very friendly and let us sample lots of different things which I really appreciated. Granted we were the only patrons there in a Friday at 5pm which seemed odd but we didn’t mind having the place to ourselves one bit. Can’t comment on the food or the vibe since we didn’t eat and nobody else was there but I will definitely be back and will continue to purchase their products when I’m lucky enough to find them.

Had a wonderful time at Red Clay Ciderworks today they assisted in hosting a team building event for 22 people. The drinks were excellent and people were raving at the different flavors. Would highly recommend. The Strawberry Rhubarb may be the best cider I’ve ever tried.

Parking was easy. The establishment was very cute. The food was delicious. The attendant was very knowledgeable. The restroom was clean.

We rented their garage room for a graduation party this past weekend! It was perfect! They were so easy to work with, reasonable price, great atmosphere and owner is awesome! He welcomed us in- helped us set up audio and video then let us do our thing! Such a great experience! It was perfect for a graduation party with pool table, darts, pinball machines and cornhole- the kids loved it and then access to the bar for adults!!! I can’t say enough good things about it! Highly recommend!!!

I love this place! I come here after work with my colleagues all the time & have event been to birthday parties that my friends have hosted here! It’s dog and kid friendly. I’m actually hosting my wedding shower here (with all my nieces and nephews coming) and they had zero problem with that! (I’m renting out the event space inside) I’ve also been to the kid rock concert (Learn Music Legends Concert) too! *pic of my pup at primal in december*

We really enjoyed this place. They have a great selection of beer. Nice patio and band on the weekend. Service was great. I would definitely recommend this place.

Huntersville location: Deducted one star due to it being located along a busy roadway. A valiant effort was made though, to mitigate the noise with strategically placed fencing and landscaping materials. It seemed like the owners set out to create three separate spaces to provide three distinct experiences for their patrons. Allow me to explain. The yard is quite large with a a covered tap, corn hole arena, and a large tent provides lots of shaded seating. There was an unaffiliated food truck on the premises the day we visited but we did not partake—we came with our drinking caps on! This is the preferred space for expert day drinkers to congregate when the weather is fair. Everything out here was well conceived and perfectly executed. The interior has a large bar space over which the many beer selections are proudly displayed. Pub decor prevails in this dimly lit, cozy space with plenty of high top tables opposite the bar area. This spaces lends itself well for those seeking to catch a buzz when the weather is foul. The “game room” offers activities for those who enjoy multi-tasking while they imbibe—pool tables, darts, pinball and related games abound in this garage-like space. Overall the folks at Primal have created some great brews and provided a fantastic setting for you to enjoy them. It’s worth venturing away from the swarmed Uptown area of Charlotte to sample what Primal has to offer!

The beer is phenomenal. I loved so many of them. Lots of fun areas inside and outside to enjoy your time. Staff were fun and chatty and knowledgeable about their beer! Wish we lived closer bc we would be regulars! You can also buy mix and match 6 packs of their beer!

one of the best breweries in the huntersville area with pool tables, dart boards, and a great indoor/outdoor vibe – perfect spot to relax and hang out

This place is super fun! We headed out to Primal Brewing for a Grateful Dead cover band show last weekend. The band had a last minute emergency come up, so the gig got cancelled without notice. Luckily we were both dressed in Grateful Drip, which started conversations all along the bar top! We had a great time hanging out with the owners and chopping it up with locals. Got a list of upcoming events to attend, but I'm sure we will be back before Halloween! Thanks you guys, for making us feel welcome! See y'all soon!!!

I had a great time at this bar! The atmosphere is really inviting—cozy, stylish, and perfect whether you're out with friends or just looking to relax. The bartender and server were both friendly and attentive, making the experience smooth and enjoyable from start to finish. The food was surprisingly good—better than your typical bar fare—and there's a massive selection of beers to choose from, which was a definite highlight for me. If you're a beer lover, this place won't disappoint. The only downside to an otherwise great visit was Ryan the manager’s attitude. It came off as a bit dismissive and not in line with the great service provided by the rest of the staff. Still, I wouldn’t let that overshadow the overall experience. Even i understand the reason, it wasn't the right approach. Definitely worth checking out if you're in the area! Let me know if you'd like to make it more formal, humorous, or tailored to a specific bar.

Came here to grab a beer and check out the scenery. Neat place with 3 stories, all with different vibes. The top floor was decked out in shark week decor! Would definitely come back.

Junior is the absolute best! His knowledge, personality and ability to handle a large crowd while maintaining conversation and slinging drinks is unreal. Our food was delicious; experience out of this world! The atmosphere was fun, clean and welcoming. There is also a parking garage across the street if you’re unable to find street parking. Will definitely be back!

Bartender welcomed us and was very attentive. She knew her stuff at the downstairs bar. Visited two nights in a row.

Jess is absolutely amazing! She’s not only incredibly skilled behind the bar but also has such a warm and welcoming personality that makes us want to come back. Her drinks were perfectly made, and she went above and beyond to make sure my husband and I were taken care of. Jess truly stands out. Couldn’t ask for a better bartender, she makes the whole atmosphere 10x better! We will definitely be back!!

We hosted a work event here and had an awesome experience. The rooftop bar was the perfect spot, the food was great, and the staff were friendly and easy to work with from start to finish. Highly recommend!

Are these without yeast? Tasted like cake. Heavy heavy smell of “deep fried”. Chocolate donuts had a thin layer of chocolate, plain donuts were literally just a cake with the aftertaste of oil. Size of these donuts also doesn’t make any sense and definitely not like in pictures. $4,5 hot chocolate below mediocre, tasted like vending machine hot chocolate. Watery. Box fell apart by the time dasher delivered them so entire box was already open when he handed it to me. Certainly not the worst I’ve had but below average on all accounts.

We had to stop here for the smell alone. Donuts were made fresh and to order. Totally recommend for a quick bite if you’re craving donuts!

I’m so sad bc the donuts are so good but this was gross. And it doesn’t look like a regular hair strand and my hair is currently a light orange brown 🤢 maybe I’m just picky but just can’t imagine getting another donut from here, what if I didn’t see it!??

This cute walk up window hides a creative factory of flavor. The donuts are freshly made and toppings unique and flavorful. The lemon poppyseed melt in your mouth and leave you wanting more. The other flavors didn't disappoint. Worth a trip to NoDa!

This place is amazing! The donuts tasted incredible. They also have doggy donuts for your pup, which Luna devoured.

Such good cake donuts. Made fresh. We got one of every flavor and there wasn't one that we didnt like. Great little find. Service was good ordered and was able to walk the block and pick back up.

Donuts are good but the service is horrible. You say good morning they don't say it back. They seem like they hate life there. They don't even say basic things like thank you for coming anything like that they just hand you the box and shut the window.

23 March 2025; 1145 PM near gate D10-12, sat at the bar (3 in party) waitress on staff was super rude when taking drink orders. Got the order wrong, When we got the check we noticed she charged for a double for one person that only ordered a single. We let it go, decided no tip. We were packing up to depart the bar and she walks over and waves the ticket and states, what you don’t tip? I said you have to earn a tip. She then decided to parade down the bar to complain to other patrons about not getting a tip. This type of employee will destroy your company.

I ordered the nachos.. how do you mess up nachos? I was fine when they said they didn't have sour cream, but they drenched the things on salsa de Verde and honesty? It ruined the whole thing. My husband ordered hot wings. The wings were BIG which was great because they were expensive. However. They didn't have any flavor. It was just hot sauce. I won't be back.

I've visited OMB outside of the airport and wanted to try OMB at the airport to try additional food. It took a long time for recognition from staff (which can be important at an airport.) For the food, the server gave me her recommendations after I asked - the Reuben was a total winner (the potato salad was meh)! I would stop here again if I had plenty of time.

My boyfriend and I went here to kill some time since American Airlines delayed our flight a few times, and we are so happy we did! Mike was our bartender and he was extremely nice and personable (and makes a mean margarita)! He gave honest suggestions and kept checking on us to make sure we were good the whole time we were there. Everyone was nice and the environment was super friendly! Definitely a go-to spot if you have time in the airport!

Just stop for a drink. Please dont insist on anything else. Not that the bar can't handle it... just.... for the love of God...... please allow this bartender to tend bar and go get food somewhere else. He does amazing but we are better than this.... as customers.

16 May 2025 Stopped in for a late dinner. Tricia is a fantastic waitress! Acknowledge those that give excellent service with a smile and a great attitude. Thanks Tricia for a wonderful experience, rare these days. Keep being a beautiful and kind human ❤️ My Reuben was GOOD and big, I needed a to go box!

I know airport food is always over priced but this was over the top for sub SUBstandard food. They were out of chicken tenders and sweet potato fries before we even ordered. Waitress was more interested on talking to her co workers than helping us. The food was at least hot but bland and pointless. Totally disrespectful to the actual OMB. Bad showing for someone passing through clt.

The bartender Zach was super rude. Me and my best friend went to the bathroom together because she needed a tampon and he knocked on our door and screamed at us saying we cannot be in the bathroom together. Do not recommend this place. Needs a better atmosphere and better people who are actually respectful of womanly situations.

Great venue to see local talent and hang out. Will be back.

Love Hatties Tap & Tavern in Charlotte NC so much. So happy I finally tried this place after so long. Such friendly service and amazing prices. We had four beers for $29. They have a bunch of local stuff as well as your typical PBR’s etc. They also have a super cool, shaded back porch and their space inside is super dog friendly. Treats, bowl’s everything!! Can’t wait to go back!!! 🐾🎉❤️

T and Matt were fantastic hosts. The sweetest guys around. Monday night WWE RAW on the TV and free pool. Super queer friendly. What more can you ask for? Just go here nerd. Edited to add: Why y'all got Matt doing Charlie Work? That baby needs to be playing pool and singin' the blues.

This is a comfortable dive bar with good beer, drink specials, and retro video games available. There is a pool table and dart boards for use as well. Excellent live music was playing last time I was there. No food was available, so we brought our own burgers. The table behind us ordered a pizza from outside. The staff were helpful. There were also two dogs (of customers), on leashes. Great spot for a night out!

Great place. They have Highland Gaelic. The back patio is really nice.

I give this place 2 stars because the event at Hattie’s last night (11/15) “dance or die” is what saved this rating from being 1 star. Everything was great until the bartender gave us grief about not tipping immediately. We grabbed our drinks to make a quick toast and the bartender (white male with mustache wearing a tank top) gave us such grief about “not tipping immediately”. Truly an a-hole moment from him. It almost killed our mood but luckily the music was amazing and brought us back up immediately. We understand bartenders need tips, but don’t assume our actions and be an a-hole and become accusatory about it and make us feel like we’re putting your livelihood at risk.
