Covid changes - not doing flights. Tastes allowed. 10oz pours & 16 oz pours. Sanitizing tables between customers. 6' social distancing enforced outside of tables. Masks required. read more

Nice brewery to visit in Pineville for beers and burgers. Nice selection of IPA's to winter ales found on tap starting at 10 oz no flights available during Covid at this time. Plenty of seating indoors and outdoors. Food available at 11am which was quite good for our lunch yesterday. Parking is free and cool merchandise like shirts and stickers are available for purchase. Would definitely return if in area visiting. read more

Big fans of Middle James Brewery! The food is delicious - their wing sauce is to died for and their burgers are incredible too. The staff were friendly and helpful. The main taproom had several large screens and TVs to play sporting events, the outside had a large lawn with picnic tables & plenty of kids running around. There is an onsite driving range & a monthly calendar with regular events (lots of family friendly options). read more

Last August, Pineville officially got it's first brewery. It's just about a mile from Carolina Place Mall, so if you're ever out this way, support local and have a couple beers. The owners/brewers wanted to create a different type of brewery, one more focused on sports/watching sports. If you've noticed, not a lot of breweries have tvs (at least not ones that aren't actually their beer menus!). I will say it does have a different feel with bright sky blue walls, lots of windows/light and plenty of green grass right outside. I was happy to be greeted and offered to pick seating indoor or out. There are tons of picnic tables on a grassy slope (a couple with umbrellas) but it was 95 out and starting to rain, so opted to stay in. Everything was very clean and COVID rules being followed. As a first timer it was nice to get hear about some of ingredients and have some samples. I was tag teamed by two very friendly and patient bartenders who were quick on the draw with some tastes of their different brews to help us decide on our full pours. The Ms. Rafferty Sour with Mango and Apricots was easily my favorite, followed by the Highly Dramatic Version 7 made with 3 types of New Zealand Hops (Wai-iti, Rakau and Kohatu). If you've never tried an IPA with NZ hops, you should - in general, they produce delicately/intricately flavored mellow beers with substantially different flavors than our American palates are used to. Honorable mentions go to Hour Mark - a more traditional IPA and Carolina Sky-Lime, a crushable Lager. Middle James also has an in house restaurant. The "Brewery Menu" has everything from Pulled Chicken Totchos, Wings, and Burgers, to Sandwiches, Flatbreads and Salads. The whole family has Smash Style Cheese Burgers and Fries with some customizations - got to have those Jalapenos! The kids meals are only $6 and include a side and a drink. The atmosphere was very family friendly and everyone had a great time! Thanks for the hospitality MJ! read more

Great spot. Beers are always solid and new things rotating. Some really solid food options. Last few times we have ordered the turkey reuben and the cubano and split it so we get half of each. read more

Middle James Brewery - Sweet Potato Beer...yummmo! - Breweries Near Me - Pineville, North Carolina

My fiancé and I took a date day and stopped by middle James since we haven't been there yet, this place is huge and beautiful. Tons of seating and great views not only inside but the patio over looks the driving range, and also a good spot to hit some balls and enjoy a beer after . I went with a flight: Holy Bananas - a really smooth Hefeweizen Highly Dramatic - solid IPA Dark Obsession- Stout, raspberries and vanilla. This was my favorite and just so dang good, the flavors were insane. Sour Encounters- Sour, excellent sours and probably of our favorites around this area . They also have a kitchen that offers everything from wings, Poutine and totchos to flatbread and chicken tenders. This is the ideal spot for great beer and food. Highly recommend! Cheers read more

The food is great, but beware of the employees leaving your tab open. They DO NOT close out your tab and will manually add a 20% tip. The bartender with the beard and glasses was so rude and it's completely messed up that they swindle you for a tip because of a poor personality. Since when does a bartender not ask if you want to keep your tab open or close it? It was 2pm for lunch and 1 beer, we were not drunk and happened 2 days in a row from the kitchen and the bar. FYI- an employee adding a tip themselves is stealing. read more

Super fun brewery. Great for a group, good food. It was very crowded but staff handled it well and were well organized!

Kid friendly brewery! Open seating - food is good & beer is better! Love the outdoor options for our boys to run and play!

Pretty excited about this grand opening! Instant first impressions are that it's a large open space and they need to do something to break up the noise or reduce the noise. The venue is beautiful and overlooks the driving range. The inside is very modern and nicely designed but the outside is lacking a bit. They offer a variety of beers but was disappointed to see that the two hefeweizen's were banana (I'm personally not a fan of banana). My husband and I ordered the Crunchwrap and The Dave, we order at 6:15pm and got our food at 6:57 after asking an employee how much longer it would be. My Crunchwrap was cold. The flavor of the food is good but they have some serious issues to work out! Staff could be a bit more friendly as well. Our bartender was great but the girl that ran our food was not. I will give them pointers for having a few clean bathroom with actual good toilet paper, not single ply lol! New places often have issues they need to work out and hopefully this feedback can help with that! read more

Hooray for a brewery in Pineville! MJB guys are the real deal. Family owned and passion for the craft. I love the openness of the space, and there's also a great patio overlooking a driving range. Plenty of TVs for sports. Beers were fantastic. The IPA being my favorite (shocking). There are also other options for those who are looking for something different than beer. My favorite part of the evening was the food. We were there for one of the opening nights, so definitely a few kinks to work out as far as timing is concerned, but the food was excellent. We had the MJB poutine, which was our favorite dish of the night, and the patty melt. Both had great flavors and we're generous portions for the price! Check it out! Support these kind families. read more

Really cool spot located in Pineville about 25 minutes from center city Charlotte. This brewery is located at a driving range and 9 hole golf course which is great for me as I can sure use the practice on my golf swing and it having a beer afterwards is an added incentive! They have a wide variety of beers from golden to red ales, from kolsches to IPAs there is sure to be a beer for everyone. I haven't had a chance to try their food yet but I'm sure after working up an appetite on the range I will be ready to chow down someday soon. read more

Friendly staff. Good bar food and a wide variety of brews. A great place to bring the whole family since they have outside seating in a field for kids to run around. And if you play golf a practice range and par 3 is at the same location. read more

Service was amazing! Bartenders were quick and knowledgeable about all the beers. Food was great! loved the burger, chicken tenders and chips! Will go back again soon! read more

I prefer Vodka and Gin...typically dont care for breweries because im not a beer fan. They definitely had some good beers! The pretzels and beer cheese dip was delicious. The best was the duck tatchoes. They have very fair prices for the food ranging drim $7-$16. I wont say it kid friendly as it was extremely loud and packed but it was 30% kids there . The live band started around 630-7:00. The outside seating over looking the golf range is pretty cool. For a opening day, i would definitely return. Seating is limited though is the only negative i would say, but again...today was opening day. read more

Glad to see a brewery in Pineville! Good location, easy to get to, and it has adequate parking the space is fairly large and wide open with an L shaped bar and a window to order food from. There are multiple TV's and ample seating. The space was sparsely decorated with no real character. The food was decent even if a bit overpriced, we got a few items for the table to share and all were good. I do think they need to add a few lower priced options for those who don't want to break the bank for a couple of beers and an appetizer... Now, on to the beer! for a new brewery the beer is surprisingly solid. Between the flight and the pints I ordered, I have tried all of their offerings. While not all of them knocked my socks off, they were all within style guidelines with no discernible off flavors. I particularly liked the Imperial Porter and the NE IPA, I also found the American Lager to be quite good (hard style to pull off). I look forward to seeing how they progress, and new beers they experiment with. Very solid for such a new brewery. I have been a couple of times now, and both times the noise was an issue. The first time it was nearly unbearable, it caused us to leave early. The second time I noticed that they had installed some sound deadening panels, I think they could stand to add a few more as it was still quite loud in there. read more

Finally made it out here and had a great time! All the other reviews are right and the outside area is great for dogs and kids, the inside is sleek and clean, and the beers and food are great. I had the Hefeweizen, pretzel with beer cheese, and some chicken tenders and everything was top notch, can't wait to come back! read more

I am so excited Middle James Brewery has finally opened. I love the location it's in! Pretty much between my friends who live in South End and Ballantyne where I live. The first thing that drew me towards Middle James was the menu they had posted online before opening. I'm always down to visit a place for the beer but if you can tempt me into some great food with that, I'm all aboard. I went to MBJ for the first time in September a few weeks after they had opened. The space inside isn't flashy, tables and chairs set up and a good sized bar to order your beer. They did have about a million TV's and were playing all the college football games which is a plus. There was also a driving range right beside MJB which will definitely benefit both places for me in the future. I noticed on Tuesday nights they alternate between trivia and music trivia. I haven't gotten a chance to go there for any trivia yet but I will at some point for sure! Side note: They had hooks on all the tables to hang coats/purses for the guests. Not a HUGE deal, but appreciated. The beer was great, the food was great. I tried a few different beers while watching a VT hokies game and enjoyed them all. We ordered the poutine, the pretzel, and the steak crunchwrap to eat. ALL DELICIOUS, especially the poutine and the crunchwrap. Big fan. MJB doesn't seem to be or want to be the fanciest place around, but solid beer, great food, and a ton of TV's will keep me coming back. read more

Nice to have a brewery option that has a kitchen rather than just food trucks and that doesn't involve driving around and around trying to find street parking (yes, I am looking at you Southend area). Great outdoor seating area that is both pet and kid friendly, although seeing tons of kids running around like crazy cutting through tables while the parents seem blissfully unaware docks a star as there is a fine line between a kid friendly brewery and an all out playground. Kitchen does a great job with the food as the wings and tots were both fresh tasting with great flavor. If they can figure out a way to lessen the playground vibe, definitely on the way to five stars, but totally understand that is ultimately up to the parents, so what can you do. With the solid beer selection and great food, we will definitely be back as it is a solid choice with plenty of parking and without all the hassles that come with venturing out to Southend. read more

Visited this place a few months back while in town for work. Got a flight and sat on the back deck overlooking the golf range. Cool atmosphere, very busy. Beers were good, lots of variety to chose from, nothing that really stood out to me though. Will certainly return in the future to try new stuff when I return for work in the area. . read more

Good food, good beer, kid friendly. Highly recommend! They have big open seating area along with outdoor seating overlooking a driving range. read more

Felt like a family kids establishment instead of a brewery for adults. Too many kids for us.

Middle James Brewery was a nice spot. The beer was good even the food offerings was good. Gets pretty packs so if you want a spot to sit you'll want to get there early read more

Delicious food and beer! Great place to go with a big group. I will definitely be back!

Weird location off S Blvd with a sports bar atmosphere. Plenty of seating inside, patio and lawn. Huge bar, lots of TV's, friendly staff. Decently long beer list which has seasonal and others on rotation; I've never had any I didn't like. Typical bar food menu, between my husband and , we've had burgers, salads and chicken salad sandwich (excellent btw) and everything has been great. Bring your clubs for the driving range located onsite as well. Highly recommend! read more

First time here. Did not realize how big it was! Beers are plentiful. I love me some New England IPAs and I had both highly dramatics. Both were delicious. So much so, I got a few crowlers to go. If you get the munchies, they have food too. Great prices for what you get. I ordered the bird dog with tater tots. Tots were crispy and the honey dijon on the bird dog (fried chicken tender in a hot dog bun x 2) was delicious. However, the cheese dries too quick and becomes a little hard. Suggest they use melted shredded cheeese. Overall, great place, spacious, and friendly staff. read more

I visited Charlotte for a day trip with my boyfriend and we had a few hours to kill before returning to Asheville so we checked out yelp to find a brewery with some ciders. We found Middle James Brewery and were very impressed. It turned out to be much bigger than we were both expecting and had a huge selection of both food, beers, and ciders. I chose a sour beer and he settled on a cider that tasted like blueberry. The brewery offers both dine-in and take out for food and is located next to a golf course. They have a back patio as well as a large field with picnic tables and umbrellas where you can bring your food outside to eat. You are currently allowed to eat inside and outside. We stayed for several hours and during our next visit to Charlotte we would definitely visit again. read more

Good times! Very friendly bartenders and staff, owners are awesome they always make me feel welcome! I'll be back!

The One star review has nothing to do about food or their beer. I actually think they are both really good, but I will NOT spend another dollar there due to the kickball team they sponsor in the Tega Cay kickball league. The team Middle James sponsors is full of the most disrespectful people I've ever been around (especially some guy named Gino), their team has been like this for years. Last night topped things when the guys on their team were taunting our kids (8-10 years old) with throat slashing gestures and calling them losers. If I was the owner of Muddle James I would be embarrassed this team is representation my company. I will tell everyone I know to boycott this establishment due to who they feel should represent their company. Not sure if their ownership knows what they are sponsoring, if not I would take a serious look into this!!! read more

I've been meaning to try this brewery for a while. Finally made the trip over and had an awesome experience, especially in a real time COVID-19 world. I was immediately impressed with the size and warehouse feel of the brewery walking up to it after parking. I was most impressed with how clean the establishment was upon entering. The staff wore masks, there was constant cleaning taking place, social distancing placeholders in the bar lines, and numerous other signs and activities demonstrating that the brewery was 100% committed to customer safety. I felt clean and COVID-free the entire time. The beer here is excellent. I had a couple pale ales and sampled a few others and took some growlers home. On top of the that, the food I ordered (also takeout) was very good. I grabbed two of the apps: chicken totchos and the loaded fries. Both apps were very good and we got a lot of food for a well-valued price. This place was family friendly, had tons of space, great beer and food, and there's a cool driving range in the back for before or after drinks. Fun place all around, I'll be back 100% read more
