Sycamore Brewing

★★★★☆ 4 (399) • $$

"I've been here a couple times with my mom when visiting my brother. We know this place can get jam packed when we've passed by it in the city, so it's nice to come when no one is here. It's pretty all over, clean, and a chill spot to come to. We enjoyed the second floor; literally it was just us which was a plus! I tried an IPA and relaxed with my family here."

Legion Brewing South Park

★★★★☆ 4 (321) • $$

"We decided to visit because of Burger Week. Unfortunately, we found out after we ordered drinks that the burger week didn't start until later in the afternoon which wasn't a problem. The service was good and we didn't have any issues. The cider we ordered was a delicious blackberry. I would come back for the cider!Brunch menu was pretty subpar. We ordered the wings and the Hen's friends. The wings were alright. They didn't come with ranch or anything so we had to ask for that. The Hen's breakfast was pretty awful. The eggs were cooked correctly but the sausage wasn't cooked enough and the potatoes were l soft from them not cooking them long enough. I wouldn't order either option again if we came back. They did have a nice outdoor patio with some live music but the flies were pretty bad so I'd recommend sitting inside if you decide to make the trip."

Triple C Brewing Company

★★★★★ 4.5 (224) • $$

"I feel bad that I've let nearly ten years pass (and 17,000 reviews!) before returning to Triple C. Ten years is quite a while and it's time to update.Arriving at around 4:30, I studied the beer menu and landed on the Bier, a German-style Pilsner. Poured into the proper glassware, this beer was excellent. Crisp, light and clean. Perfect Pilsner.I sat for a bit, wifi'ed for a bit, got some food from the food truck and generally had a pleasant evening. Izzy's is dedicated for Triple C and has a menu including pizza, chicken sandwiches, a beef burger, grilled veggie pita, chicken wings, nachos and fries. I got the fries with the beer cheese sauce.I left as the trivia was getting started. I know people love trivia. I do not and so that was my cue to depart.This is a great brewery and I promise, it won't be ten years until I'm back![Review 20771 overall - 3503 in North Carolina - 1754 of 2023.]"

Trolley Barn Fermentory & Food Hall

★★★★☆ 4.2 (231) • $$

"I love this place, I've been three times now. Their brunch is my favorite in town. They have the best steak & eggs. I've always had great servers that are attentive and helpful. The atmosphere is typical of a brewery, not much to write about but I enjoy sitting at the high top tables or outside when it's warm enough. I've told a lot of my friends about this place and encourage you to go!"

Legion Brewing Plaza Midwood

★★★★☆ 4.4 (201) • $$

"Super cozy brewery with friendly service and great eclectic pub grub. Stopped in unexpectedly on a chilly Friday evening and had a wonderful experience. Sat at the bar and had a fun time learning about all their different beer offerings; bartenders were fantastic and super friendly. Enjoyed a few beers, the chopped salad with chicken, a flatbread and the giant pretzel; everything was delicious and my salad was crisp and fresh. Paired nicely with the beer however I don't remember which one I had (it was comparable to a Blue Moon). Also ordered the sweet potato app/side and they were unfortunately soft, soggy and flavorless; didn't even eat them after sampling and the bartender took the item off our bill which was a very nice gesture and also added that it wasn't their most popular menu item. All in all an enjoyable experience and would definitely recommend."

Buzzed Viking Brewing Company

★★★★☆ 4.4 (163) • $$

"Went here for a couple of drinks and a pizza. Dani our bartender was really friendly, fun to talk to, and made it a great experience overall. Beers were very good. The wrathchild hazy is fantastic and they have some of the best mead outside of San Diego I have ever had here! The passion mead was my favorite. Great flavor. Had a new Mac and cheese pizza on the menu and it was fantastic. Really good sized bar pie, crust was crispy and Kenny the kitchen manager was also really friendly. Great experience with a good ambiance. Will definitely be back!"

Town Brewing Company

★★★★★ 4.5 (104) • $$

"This is a nice place near Freedom Drive and Morehead Street. It has spacious outdoor seating/gathering spots, one area has a fire pit. Service for food and drink are made at the bar. The staff members were efficient and got the orders out stat! I ordered the Cider and it was tasty and refreshing. I also ordered the Margherita Pizza - it was a bit bready for me but was edible. There are a few televisions to watch the latest sporting events. Private areas can be reserved in advance with food pairings/Hors d'oeuvres. This is a nice place to hang out with friends. They have many bear flavors including Chai Tea, which I will try on my next visit."

Gilde Brewery

★★★★☆ 4 (105) • $$

"2 years ago, there was a lot going on in the area, you had the Lexington BBQ fest, the state fair, and numerous other festivals as well- including the Oktoberfest celebration @ Gilde. We decided that going to Gilde should definitely be on the list- and so glad we went! Getting there- if you aren't one of the thousands of people who live within a few blocks of the place, they have a light rail station a few blocks away, or you can fight street parking as well (which is a whole lot worse now given the construction going on).The Oktoberfest, we got really lucky and was able to get a table before the nightly party that was to follow. They had a special menu, and day time festivities. I ended up getting a few liters and a pork shank, that was the size of Alaska. The food, the beer, the atmosphere, and the service, made we wish this was a year long celebration. As time went on, my sister went to special dinner there that a local sheep farm was hosting, and she said it was great. But, we weren't really sure if the food stuff still went on during the day. Decided to go again yesterday for a quick mid day cleanse, and decided to get a few pints (I almost got sideswiped by some jackal on 85 so I felt a drink was needed after that NDE- and don't worry sober sis drove back) to wear off the nerve. It was nice to see they were open for lunch, and I was shocked to not see more people there. The indoor is large, and has a nice size food menu. If you don't like beer, they do have a cocktail and wine menu as well. I decided to get a wurst flight this time, and sis got a schnitzel. I laughed when they brought the food out, to see how big her plate was. She enjoyed it thoroughly, and my flight was wonderful and filling as well. The server was very friendly as well.I would like to point out they do have pints you can bring home with you along with other merch. It looks awesome but I don't think any of it fits me. They also do have board games and such you can bring to the table with you if you fancy that. I am really jealous that Gilde branched out to Charlotte and opened a sister brewery there (as they are originally from Hannover, DE) so if you haven't yet, I highly recommend you pay a visit! Prost!"

Railhouse Brewery

★★★★☆ 3.8 (104) • $$

"Rail House is a brewery clearly devoted to the military community from the moment you walk in, although it may not look it from the outside or in my pictures. The meatball sub was a first time Go at this station. The list of beer crafted here also has a military theme. I didn't taste it yet but I got a growler full of Knights Golden. Will update with an AAR when mission complete."

Newgrass Brewing

★★★★☆ 4.1 (79) • $$

"Great food and service here. Had the Kolsch beer (perfect) and a bunch of apps that were spot on. The crispy Brussels sprouts were delicious and the pretzel with some to was really great. The only disappointment was the smash burger that wasn't really smashed - but the rest made up for it!"

Legion Brewing West Morehead

★★★★☆ 4.4 (63)

"Brews, pizza, and quality time--yes, yes, and yes! I had lunch at Legion way back in their early Wesley Heights days, but this recent trip reminded me why I need to visit more often. The pizza... y'all, the pizza. Dare I say it's one of my Charlotte favorites? While there's plenty on the menu, I think I'll stick with pizza moving forward--it's just that good.We also tried the wings and Brussels sprouts. The wings had amazing flavor, but the sprouts could've used just a bit more cook time. Overall, a solid meal."

Cavendish Brewing Company

★★★★☆ 4.2 (59) • $

"This place is awesome. Yoga on Tuesdays is my favorite. They have something every night of the week to keep you entertained. The food is great but be prepared to wait if the place is busy."

Panzu Brewery

★★★★☆ 4.4 (50)

"We love Panzu. The food and beer is great and the seasonal cocktails are the bomb. We love Cady: the best server! Pint of sunshine is our favorite beer and the bees knees cocktail is fantastic"

Traust Brewing Company

★★★★☆ 3.5 (64) • $$

"It was pub food, the drinks were fine, but the air conditioning was conveniently broken in just one portion of this massive brewery. They had all of the black people jammed inside the hot room that was literally 102 degrees. The other rooms were air conditioned and nearly empty. You may wonder why Traust even earned two sad pity stars. Well, frankly it's, because this is the south. I am sure the owners are Trump supporters and it is what it is. I am holding space in the event that these people are not racist, just completely and woefully incompetent. In fairness some blame can be shared with the event organizer for not insisting that the event was moved to a space with working AC, but ultimately it falls on the manager for being inhumane or either incompetent and allowing people to suffer when they could have made different arrangements. He or She could have done absolutely anything to try to make the patrons comfortable. I ended up leaving the event to wait in the car because I have working sweat glands. The event was for a children's charity, but the venue manager had no heart. They should have done better. Any gesture of goodwill, hospitality or kindness would have helped to assure that the patrons affected wouldn't have felt undervalued but nothing was offered. I know when I'm not welcomed."

Pharr Mill Brewery

★★★★☆ 4.3 (41) • $$

"My review is based off of service and the awesomeness of that monster beef rib I purchased.Before this visit, I had only heard about this location. Not being a beer drinker, this was not really on my radar... until I saw that they were now selling beef ribs. At this time, they only sold them about one or twice per week. Having gained an affinity for beef ribs from a famous BBQ joint outside of Charlotte, to have an opportunity to have them within a few minutes drive seemed too good to be true. After arriving and placing my order, I conversed with the young man taking orders at the bar about the joys of all things bbq and how I'd been talking this place for a few weeks now. He informed me that I would be in for a treat as their ribs were superb. After a short wait, I received my bag and I went home. Let me tell you, I fancy myself a bit of a food photographer but my picture did not do this rib justice. For that I apologize... it was epic. I took a bite... why do I hear "Careless Whisper" playing in my head?? Truly the things dreams are made of...Long story short, great food, great service, great location. This place is A1! I highly recommend you give these guys your business and if they have beef ribs for sale that day... well you know what to do."

Beer Lab - Ghostface Brewing

★★★★☆ 4.1 (15)

"Before I begin, let me start off by saying if you are in Mooresville, NC stop and check this place out.My first time going to Ghostface brewing and being able to check out their beer lab was super dope, celebrating an engagement our friends took us out and this was a huge highlight of the day. Really cool vibe at this place and tons is seating inside and out, service was super friendly and just made you really enjoy being there.Ok, now the good stuff, BEER! Tons of selections at this location due to they are able to expand out more and come up with many different beers and it's awesome to have a selection like they provide to venture out of your comfort zone. .Highly recommend a flight , and highly recommend this place. It's now one of my favorite breweries I've been too, cheers!"
