I've driven by this place for years and finally came in tonight. I had two different types of wings and a chicken empanada, all of which were awesome. The black lite Black lager is outstanding as well. All of the people in the place were friendly, including the staff and customers, and Audrey was an outstanding server/bartender. They have a cool interior, a big deck hang out on, and a couple fire pits. read more

I have never had Dominican food. When visiting my in-laws we stopped in for lunch where we were able to seat ourselves. They had multiple tables and space at the bar. There were tables next to a big window that showed the beer being made. The server greeted us with a menu and a weekend menu ! I just had water and a sandwich that consisted of shredded pork shoulder, slaw, and a delicious sauce. On the side were tostones, which were served in the tiniest fryer basket ! Everything was very messy and very delicious ! I would definitely visit again if I'm in the area. The bathroom was also cute. It had a sign that said don't flush feminine product and also included kitties, puppies, and hopes & dreams. read more

Panzu Brewery or La Ceverceria Panzu in Mint Hill is an amazing concept for the area. I'm not a drinker so I can't speak to the specifics of beers on tap (thankfully I'm not being rated for that comment) however, I can speak to the food, service and great service I recently received! The chicharron plate was amazing, the empanadas were also really good and the sandwich de pierna was off the meter!! I truly recommend this place in Mint Hill! read more

Wow! I'm really glad I found this place. I lived in the Dominican Republic for two years, and the flavors here were such a great reminder of that time. Total blast from the past! Cady was an awesome server -- super friendly and gave great recommendations. I tried the Sandwich de Pierna, and it tasted just like the ones I used to eat in the Dominican. So good! The restaurant had a cool vibe and was very clean. I'll definitely be coming back! read more

In a world of breweries, Panzu stands out with its Dominican food menu. The wings were some of the best I have had, and I do not say that lightly. The jerk sauce was so good. The green tacos with chicken were filling and tasty as well. Perfect combination of creamy avocado, savory chicken, crispy cheesy tortillas, and tangy pickled veggies. Def worth the drive from CLT! read more

Great neighborhood brewery and honored to have been there on their opening day! Great selection of beers and food and overall great vibes! I love the outdoor patio I was lucky to have been there when there was a live band that night. I wish I wasn't in a good coma from dinner as I would have loved to try some of the Caribbean/Latin food that they had on the menu. Will definitely visit again the next time I'm in the area and will make sure I try the food. The service that night was fast and friendly! Make sure you check them out! read more

Ponzu is a perfect addition to Mint Hill! We walked in and sat down right away. There is a large patio out front and a small one about back. Inside is spacious and designed well! The bar has plenty of stools and there are tvs throughout to watch the games. The service was incredible! We loved our waitress. Ponzu has Caribbean tapas that are delicious. We got the AREPA PELUDA, PIÑA COLADA CEVICHE, TAINO FRIES (with the smoke spicy mayo yummmmm), and the MAJAO MAJAO. Everything was delicious. Ponzu isn't serving their own beer yet, but they will be in about 5 weeks. We had a great time and will definitely be back!!! read more

This used to be my favorite place in mint Hill. I went today and usually have the problem of trying to decide what to order because their menu is fantastic. Turns out there is new management and changed the whole menu. I couldn't figure out what to order because I didn't want any of it. It's sad to see this happen to what was a place we always brought our friends to. read more

Yelp recommended this brewery with a Latin flavored menu and was not disappointed. When we walked up the chef was getting the grill ready to finish off some of their ribs and knew we were in a good place. Started out with their chips and guacamole which was excellent with a large serving. Their IPA has great flavor and body that went nicely with an arrangement of fried items on one of their sampler plates. Everything we tried had very unique flavor combinations and no two dishes were alike. read more

Oh man, I hope Mint Hill's first brewery is here to stay FOREVER!!!! LOVED LOVED LOVED IT! The food there is delicious, we tried the jerk chicken wings and arroz con pollo. The beer is amazing, you gotta get that pint of sunshine...FIRE! The atmosphere is light and fresh, they have both outdoor and indoor seating. A nice bar area and beer board. And best of all a 5 min drive from where we live. The service was great as well. We will be regulars for sure. read more

First time visiting today and it has become a place we will definitely visit again. That's saying a lot since I'm old and it's a 30 minute drive. Food and service was worth the drive. read more

Stopped in for a beer to check it out. First, parking is limited behind the building. Inside decent sized bar but all seats were taken. Not too many tables, seemed first come first serve. We sat outside, several picnic tables but it was chilly and even though they had heaters they were not on. Bartenders were friendly enough and they had a basic selection of their own beers but most priced higher than expected. The menu is very eclectic. We didn't try any food, but it would have been hard to find something we liked since the menu was very different. May stop back again and give it another shot! read more

Panzu is one of my new favorite spots in Mint Hill. For an area that has mainly classic bar and grill type of spots, this Dominican/Carribean fusion is a great switch up! The arroz con pollo is served for lunch only and very tasty. Smothered in manchego cheese sauce and sprinkled with paprika, and a sliced avocado on top I can confidently say this was a 10/10. Staff is very welcoming and pretty quick as well. I l noticed they have been hosting salsa and bachata lessons and night which I will most definitely have to check out soon! read more

I'm not going to lie, any time a new brewery opens I tend to go in with low expectations just because there are so many around Charlotte. We waited to visit until they had a selection of their own beer and I'm glad we did. The Hefeweizen was the group favorite, the IPAs didn't blow anyone away, and I enjoyed the blonde. We went on a Thursday night and grabbed a table easily. Our server and the bartender were super nice and friendly. We ordered quite a few things off the menu and man, I was blown away by the food. Things we ordered: Canal de la Mona - hands down best thing we ate. Incredible, five stars, can't wait to eat again Arepa- very good, best arepa I've ever had? Maybe not but the chicken was good and I liked the sauce Las Mariposas- the yucca ball was my favorite. The street corn coquette had a mushy inside I didn't love and the fried cheese was just okay. Wings- plenty of them, I thought the jerk had a kick but I'm a wimp Empanadas- our friends ordered these but they looked good read more

Run, do not walk, to Panzu! A group of us (my Soul Sisters) went to dinner this evening to celebrate a birthday. We were lucky enough to meet one of the owners, Rosa. Really gracious, funny and warm individual. Can I just tell you? Even though we didn't get the benefit of the lunch menu (WE WILL BE BACK FOR LUNCH!) the tapas menu was amazing. We tried a variety of items on the menu. I apologize, it was such a big group that I didn't get pictures of everything. The wings are wonderful. Empanadas, Tostones, fried yucca, pork belly, guacamole and pickled veggies!? Fabulous!! I could go on and on - the sauces/dips? Soo good! My favorite is always going to be the chimichurri but ALL were great. Take a look at the menu on their website because oh my goodness I need the caramelized onion grilled cheese for lunch without a doubt. Now as far as beer? I cannot speak to that BUT: all individuals at the table, there were 11 of us total - everyone was very happy with their beverage! Seriously? food alone will have us coming back time and again. I'll repeat, the owner we met was a really wonderful individual, very genuine. Got to support local - we HIGHLY recommend the food, and establishment. Oh by the way tonight they had trivia and can I say out of 11 women - hello?! The girls rocked it, dominated lol! I'm excluding myself because I know nothing about basketball or beer lol! It was a fun and amazing time - thank you so much Panzu, for a brilliant evening. We will DEFINITELY BE BACK!! read more

I'm so excited that this brewery has finally opened in Mint Hill! I really like how the menu is Caribbean inspired. They haven't started serving their own beers yet but the brewing has commenced (they have a large list of guest taps in the meantime.) I recently tried some of their menu items and want to come back and try some more. I started with the Arepa Peludas which were delicious! I really liked the Aji sauce on top. I then ordered the Yuca fries which come with an option of two dipping sauces. I tried the smoked mayo and the creamy habanero. The smoked mayo was my favorite and it had a nice spicy kick to it. The creamy habanero had a sweeter taste to it. My only issue with the fries were that some of them still had pieces of the yuca root in them which was inedible - but the ones that didn't were very tasty. My only other suggestion for the business is to replace the seats on the bar stools - it's very prickly if you are wearing leggings! read more

Stopped by tonight for my 2nd time and oh lawd this place just hit a grand slam again. Tried their version of the charcuterie board and wow...knocked it out of the park. Staff and service was fast and great, and the food was incredible again. Becoming one of my favorite breweries as the beer is on point, especially the hazy ipa. Overall, plan a trip here and enjoy, you won't be let down read more

We just came from here and the food was terrible. The food is flavorless and has noooooo seasoning. We went with high hopes but it was not good. We sent back the dry chicken empanada, the lack luster Panzu fries, we only ate a third and they said we would have to pay for half because we ate half and didn't. The burger was supposed to be medium and it was dry. Never again will we be here. The you lady said she was going to take things off and then said oh we will just take 30% off of the food, we still paid $70 plus. read more

Love this place .. great food with Latin Caribbean twist . They have a big selection of exclusive beers on tap that is always evolving with new selections popping up regularly.. fun Latin music selection and the service is always good . Definitely worth supporting this Mint Hill gem !!! read more

This has become my favorite place. Cady is always on point and a ton of fun. Highly recommend!

Super cute and quaint vibe! Also love that they had kombucha on tap for any of my fellow non-drinkers. The kitchen was closed when we were there but they had a food truck out back which was a nice touch. And probably my favorite part, tons of servers circling around! Very attentive and friendly. 10/10 and I agree with everyone else that this was exactly what Mint Hill needed! read more

Used to drive out of our way for the 'old' menu that was more Caribbean. Sadly menu has changed and now its just another brewery with bland food. Beer is still good but nothing to go out of the way for. read more

They changed the menu and lowered the food quality to "better fit the demographic of the area". Very sad! We LoVED their food before and now it's generic, over salted and low quality. read more

The food was great. I especially liked the Caribbean charcuterie board. The service was good too. The reason I took one star off is the atmosphere of the particular evening we went which was on a Friday. I was expecting a Caribbean vibe with some music accompanying the vibe but they only played country music the whole time. Didn't feel much different from any other brewery down here ;/ read more

Michael, our server made us feel welcome and entertained us with his witty banter and was very attentive.

We live on the exact opposite side of town, but we're in the area and looking for dinner. I had just heard of Panzu on the news and we decided to try it. We are excited to come back when they have their own beer. In the meantime, the staff were great the atmosphere was family friendly (inside and out), and the food was incredible! The canal de La Mona was recommended and everything on the menu looked incredible! Can't wait to go back. read more

The food is absolutely incredible. Unique, delicious, and fresh flavors in every single dish we have tried. Pint of Sunshine is my favorite IPA, we always take home 4-8 cans. This place is a gem! read more

Our family of 5 spent several hours this afternoon, wings, yucca fries, guacamole and sweet potato fries. best sweet potato fries we ever had anywhere. we had excellent drinks, friendly staff, and enjoyed the breezy patio. From Nana to teenagers we all enjoyed the afternoon. will go back again. read more

The waiters were friendly but very disorganized. We waited more than 45 minutes for mine and my wife's drink order and over an hour for food. All of the couples in our group of 15 ordered individually. After 30 minutes of waiting we were informed that our order wasn't even in the system. Overall the food was very good. We were with a large party of 15 people and I understand that can cause issues. I'd be willing to try it again. read more

Presentation was good, but flavor was lacking and beer selection is limited. I really wanted to support them because they're supposedly Dominican owned. Although the service was good, I don't think it's worth the drive from Charlotte. read more

New place, nice vibes and good food. Staff is friendly and attentive. The food is a welcomed add to the area. Stop in and have a beer.

Kind of crazy Sunday night experience. There's no hostess and no sign so we weren't exactly sure what to do. We just sat down somewhere because it was getting crowded. After sitting unsure for about five minutes, I walked over to the bar and asked a worker what we were supposed to do. She said someone would be over shortly and they were. The main problem with this place was that I had to do that to order, to get more drinks and eventually to pay. Occasionally a Hispanic man would come over and ask me if we needed anything. Between his English skills and the restaurant's volume, our dialogue was strained at best. We sampled three tapas tonight. Arepas shell was harder than I've had before and the meat was a bit on the dry side. Goat empanada was fine but it just lacked flavor. Green tacos were okay but the strong one note flavor was overpowering and stayed on the palate for several hours after consuming. The biggest head scratcher was they did not brew there own beer yet have brewery in the title??? I understand that they are new but wouldn't they be a prerequisite before opening??? I don't know, it was an experience I guess. read more
