Bulldog Beer & Wine - South End

I thoroughly enjoyed this dive bar. It has darts, a bunch of draft options, and various drink deals. It is very divey and has indoor and outdoor seating. Overall it was a nice reprieve from the busier bars and breweries in the area and we really liked it.

Cool bar in South End. Darts, TVs, and a pool table. On Friday night they have live music. They have beer and Prosecco on tap. There are refrigerated cases with other beers and wine. I don't think they have food and there was no food truck in the parking lot. There are two single stall bathrooms so make sure you don't wait too long before going. The vibe here is pretty cool. I like this place better than Wooden Robot

Awesome bar vibes. Place has character. Go early for classic laid back environment or late night for a lively crowd.

So many beers to choose from! This place is great! I was impressed with the huge selection of beers they have on tap. They are always so busy, which is great. The bartenders are really good and there is never much of a wait to get drinks. It is a dog friendly environment, so bring your friends. Its a very hopping place. A must stop place for good beer and people watching. They even have a small outdoor area for when the weather is good.

Cool bar and bottle shop right across the road from Wooden Robot and walking distance from plenty of other restaurants and bars. This is basically South End still so you can't really ever have too many such places.For a bottle shop it's actually quite large. It definitely has more of a bar feel. Naturally, there's a ton offered on tap in addition to the many bottles. Several TVs to watch the game(s). Light on the bathrooms - only 3 individual ones. As the name suggests, there are actually a couple of bulldogs in here. I feel kinda bad for the guys though because they're caged up in a loud environment. They've basically become desensitized to people too.Prices are about what you've come to expect. Unless you find street parking you should plan to walk a bit to get here. I saw a food truck parked less than a block away so food will be easy to come by on busy nights. Most importantly - Golden Cow Creamery isn't far away either.

I have to say I'm a little disappointed in myself that it has taken me this long to write a review of this place. Not only do I come here quite often but it is right next to my apartment! I have long been a fan of this casual hangout. It is a small place that feels like you are hanging out in a friend's garage. They have a free pool table, dart boards, and a personal favorite golden tee. They keep a rotating selection of beers on tap and have recently introduced liquor as well which means they had to become a club. It is only $1.00 to get started and you can just add it to your tab, after that you simply have to put your phone number in each time you come, it is quick and easy! Also if you are looking to pick up a bottle of wine or a case of beer and you can grab some out of the fridge and they will ring you out to go. If you are looking for a laid back atmosphere to have a few drinks with friends then this is the spot for you. Also there is a popcorn machine in the back corner!

Let me start off by saying that I was illegally and fraudulently charged at Bulldog. This is my first ever review on yelp. So I'm not some crazy person who leaves bad reviews on every time there is bad service. This was my first time to Bulldog's and it will be my last. We walk in, cool vibe, playing darts, I go to get a drink, there are 2 bartenders. One was really nice and I got 1 drink (my first drink of the night, to clarify I was NOT wasted). I went to get a second beer and the other bartender would NOT take my order. She wouldn't even look me in the eye. At one point I was the only person at the bar trying to get a drink and she just walked away and started to talk to some guys at the end of the bar... cool. So I walked away to see if I could get the other bartenders attention. A group of girls approached me and said "yea don't even try to get a drink from that one, she refuses to serve females. I don't know what her problem is." Ok got it.I went back up to the bar and after a solid couple of minutes I got her attention. I did not act frustrated or upset, I just simply asked for an East Ciders Original. She then took another guys order and I specificity heard him say it was a Wicked Weed Pernicsomthing or other because I thought it was a weird name. Clearly I'm not a beer girl.She came back with his beer and not mine. Ok, weird. He was holding out his card to give to her and she grabs my card and his card and goes to get my cider. She comes back with my cider and then swipes my card and asks if I want to close out and I said yes. She then proceeds to give his blue Chase card back to him. Then hands me my card with the receipt. The guy asks "do I need to sign anything" and her response was "no don't worry about it." Ok.I look down at my bill and it has both his beer and my cider on the bill. I nicely confronted her about it and said "I saw what you just did there and that is not cool. Can i please speak with your manager?" she said "I am the manager." Yea ok.... So I ask "Ok well can I have the information of who owns this place?" she said, "I own it." ...... ok you're lying but that is fine. I didn't cause a scene because it isn't worth it right?I told her I wanted a refund and she said "I will refund you but you still need to pay for your cider." I told her "listen, I work in customer service and I literally just watched you WILLINGLY put someone elses drink on my card. On purpose. 100%. I do not want 2 charges from this facility because I do not trust that you will cancel the first payment." She wouldn't let it go...I said fine. It is what it is. I just paid for both beers, left and vowed not to come back. I am writing this because I took a look at my bank statements and it looks like little miss bartender decided to give herself a $20 tip! So instead of my bill being like $12, it's $32! Again, 100% knowing it was wrong and ILLEGAL she stole more of my money.That's totally fine. Take my money girl, I truly don't care. I just want everyone who decides to come to Bulldog to please monitor your charges and be mindful (especially if you've been drinking) of your bill at the end of the night as well as the bank statement in the following days when they are closed out.I still have my receipt from that night.

I'm officially adding Bulldog to my list of favorite taprooms in Southend! So much beer, so little time!This is a good place to hang out and actually talk with friends - not so loud that you can't hear the people you're talking with!Twenty plus taps with a really nice diverse selection - a little something for everyone.Dart boards! Large tap room with Whiskey Barrel tables!It's pretty laid back in here - like Brad mentioned it feels like a man cave/converted garage.For me the parking lot wasn't that bad to navigate, but the spots are a little on the "tight" side.There's a retail section with cold and non-refrigerated beer to go. Tonya P would give this place her stamp of approval as they sell bottles of bubbly!A very short walk from Wooden Robot and Brass Tap. Add this place to your "to do" list.

Another one of my favorite watering holes in Charlotte. First experienced this joint at a recent beer festival. They weren't technically open, but the staff was on hand as well as the big boss (Rob) and their uber-friendly Bulldogs: No bark and all love.The setup is like visiting your best friends converted garage. Almost a man-cave feeling going on here. They have a large bar area. Probably seats 30 people just at the bar alone. They also have a decent seating area just off the bars. They use whiskey barrels as tables and some simple metal stools.With 24 beers or so on tap with varying degrees of ABV. I like how they have the beers listed in chalk on the wall. All the info that's important to me is included, such as ABV %, and and growler size and price. Just the basics, Ma'am.What makes Bulldog's a great place to drink is all the beers they have to-go. Three or four big refrigerators packed with all varieties of beer line the walls. Unchilled beers and wines are also available if you prefer warmer drinks ;-)Not to many drawbacks here. They have 3 restrooms: each with 1 stall (Men's, Women's, and either).The parking lot is problematic. Way to packed to actually navigate. They are obviously trying to make spaces since the place is very popular. Makes for. Potential accident in my opinion.All-in-all I give the setup a 5, selection a 4, staff a 4, and the variety of take home brews a 5. Parking and limited restrooms I'll lump together as a 3. That makes this a solid 4-Stars.

There's only one toilet for the woman's bathroom also the drinks are expensive. There are a lot of young people
