Cavendish Brewing Company

How, in my four-plus years in the area, have I not given a review to Cavendish yet?! I mean, it's one of two breweries in Gastonia (and the other, which is awesome in it's own right hasn't been here nearly as long yet)!First, the beers - have yet to have a "meh" beer, much less a bad beer, in the 26 different beers (I counted on Untappd!) I've had here. Always love to get the limited release ones, but staples like Dragonbane Stout and Foggy Mountain Cave-In are like a comfortable hug when I'm just in the mood for something familiar.Next, the food - my daughter straight up LOVES The 'Dish Nachos and so do I, but I'll admit they lost a little something switching from Fritos to regular tortilla rounds. That said, the pulled pork and queso makes up for that in spades. The pizzas are also fantastic. Don't sleep on the Cheeseburger Pizza, it's one of my faves. Finally, the atmosphere and staff - comfy confines with more than enough seating, couches, etc. and whoever picks the music each time we're in is somehow spot-on. Charlotte behind the bar is always the best, the gold standard. Tip her well. Also, don't sleep on the events hosted here. My wife and I attended a Golden Girls drag brunch a few months ago (presented by Just Two Guys Productions) and it was SO MUCH FUN. Cavendish is great, full stop.

Stopped in on the way to the airport. Located in Gastonia NC,this brewery has a real funky vibe.The interior has a touch of punk,rock,and just about every other style of interior design possible.I tried their Cowboy Water which is a light golden lager. 5.2ABV.My wife had the Bludacris cider which was a blueberry lemon release from Durham Cider Crawl. Both beverages were very good.It was not too crowded and there was plenty of parking.Glad we stopped!

Being gluten free I asked the friendly bartender for a suggestion and he offered the Bludacris Cider.It is a blueberry lemon cider that truly had a distinct blueberry flavor. I was skeptical after having other blueberry drinks that were disappointing so I was grateful that he told me I would love it! The music and decor gave this place a funky fun vibe. So glad we stopped in before flying out of CLT.

We enjoyed our visit, beers and custom-made veggie pizza. Our server was very nice, the decor was fun and clean, and there was no overly loud music. They look ready for big parties and events, but we were there mid-week, so all was quiet, which we enjoy most anyway.

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.

If you're a beer lover in Gastonia, you gotta come try this place! A wonderful vibe, great staff and they do some great live music events! A must visit kind of place!

I love Cavendish! As a native Gastonian, we visit often. Love the karaoke and music bingo on certain nights and the cornhole boards outside! You cannot go wrong with their Cowboy Water and a pretzel on the side. Everyone is super nice and helpful if you're unsure what to order. Definitely give this place a shot if you haven't been before! Some bars can be intimidating, Cavendish is the opposite.

Great find! We were visiting family in Lincolnton and found this on our way back to SC.Parking is in a lot next door and easy to get to. We were hungry and ordered the meat lovers pizza... oh yum yum yum! Good selection of beer.They had live music, but they were set up inside so we didn't hear them. We chose to sit outside at a picnic table and enjoy the weather.I'd definitely go back!

I went there today and ordered a salad around 2pm. At 2:50pm, after seeing two people that ordered after me get their food, I went to the bar to ask about my food. The bar tender got an attitude with me. He told me that they were overwhelmed. He didnt offer to check on my order. When I pointed out to him that I had been wating 50 minutes he gave me the same excuse with an attitude. I ordered a salad, something that requires no cooking. Two people with cooked orders got their food before me. It was obvious that they misplaced my order. I went to the bathroom on my way out and it smelled like a rest stop bathroom.

Absolutely shit service need more then one bar tender.This place sucks, if you want a good brewery this ain't the one
