    This place is huge!!! There's plenty of indoor and outdoor seating. Dogs are allowed. They host different events throughout the week. There's a speakeasy room. I'm not sure if they ever close the room to make it into a speakeasy but it was opened when we were there. They don't service food but there was a food truck on the property. The food truck is called Lucky Duck. I'm not sure if different food trucks come on different days. We got fries, wrap, and grilled cheese. The grilled cheese would have been so good if there was sauce to dip into. Otherwise the food was really good.

    Easily my favorite brewery in Charlotte! (OK, a close second would be Fonta Flora) I like crisp-yet-hoppy beers: hoppy lagers. They are hard to find. This place, had THREE: Two Cold IPAs and a West Coast Pilsner! The staff here were beyond friendly...had I visited 2 more times, they would probably be flying up to Anchorage to go hiking with me and maybe make some homebrew. The ambiance here is ornate and opulent in a way you don't usually see at breweries. This place is very social. It seems like there's always something going on/down here. I follow them on Instagram and I often share their posts. They are always posting something fun and/or creative. (right now they are doing a bunch of Satanic Panic themed events)

    My company had a Christmas party here and my first impression was that this was a nice chilled bar and pretty spaced out for us all. We had food catered as unfortunately I don't believe that they sold any plates but made it up by offering awesome beers (IPA's are my favorite). All in all I'll definitely recommend this to anyone looking for a great brewery to check out.

    I came with my sister for a private event and the place is gorgeous. I loved the different themed areas, with all of their unique decor. Bar area is large and has plenty of parking. They have a food truck that is always there. The staff is friendly and very knowledgeable. They have QR codes ready to scan for the drink menu. They also have a large variety of beers. TIP: Check out the fun trinket vending machine they have available. Wifi is available, just ask the staff.

    Finally got to see what all the hype is about. Attended a summer solstice event here from 7-10 pm and it was an absolute BLAST! The vibes were giving! Goddess with enchanted forest vibes. Love the layout of this bar. There is something to see, check out, or seating in every nook of the place. I love the quirky decor. My favorite was their vending machine, it had everything from evil eye rings, notebooks, naughty pins, mystery packages, and more. Over all the place is awesome. They do offer wine if you are not a big beer drinker. They have a patio out in the front with a food truck for food. Lots of parking which is always a plus. Definitely will be returning.

    So happy to have stumbled upon this brewery. We took a trip down to Charlotte on the train and this one was about a mile from the station. It was an easy walk over. The staff was fantastic!! Very friendly and helpful. They gave us a couple samples to try and we ordered our beers. We sat outside next to the cornhole boards and played for a bit. The staff keeps the bags at the bar so you just have to ask for them. There were a couple people in our group that don't drink beer so thankfully they had a food truck outside that had sodas. I wish we lived closer so we could visit more often. It looked like they have different events on various nights and there is plenty of comfy seating, so go check them out.

    This was our Tuesday night out when working in Charlotte. We always have a good time on trivia night. The service is great and the fact you can BYOF is cool. We've seen folks do potluck dinners. And they allow fur babies. Always a fun night.

    One of the best breweries I've been to in awhile. The decor is eclectic and feels like an antique store but also very trendy. They had mulled wine which has been hard to find some I moved back to the US from Europe! Service was fast despite being a busy night due to the live music act which was amazing! Any other place would have charged a cover for this performance. They had a fiddle player, guitarist and more. It was such a cozy, intimate evening. Since I went during Christmas week, they threw in some Christmas classics and handed out the lyrics on a sheet so we could all sing along.

    Wow this place is really cool! It feels like a comfy log cabin with all the leather couches and antiques everywhere. There is a hidden room too! The outdoor area has picnic tables and a cozy fire pit area. And there's a local Stitch N Bitch group that meets there every Wednesday night! How cool is that?!

    A very cool, relaxing place to grab a few beers or ciders. When you walk in you think you are walking into someone's living room or den. Lots of comfy chairs and couches arranged in small groups, with board games available to play. There are a few separated seating areas, the main one with several seating areas, and another separated by the entrance. There is a stage, tables and live music on a Saturday afternoon. Than a secret room with more seating, and a large outdoor space. They have wines, beers and ciders. My husband had the Doomsurf a mexican lager and So Much For The Afterglow another lager. He enjoyed the lightness of both. I had an Urban Orchard cider, which was refreshing on a very hot afternoon. We really enjoyed the drink selections and atmosphere and would highly recommend.

    Petty Thieves is a brewery with a different vibe, and I love it! It almost feels like you're in an antique shop with the cool mix of furnishings and decor. There's also a secret room that you can access by pushing on one of the back walls, which was fun to find. I love saisons, and they had two on tap here when we came. My friends don't love beer and still found drinks they enjoyed with the hard selzer options. The bartender was super friendly, giving us recommendations and tasters of the drinks as well as chatting with us about some of her favorite spots in Charlotte. They have games near the back, and we enjoyed a round of What Do You Meme. The outdoor area out front has firepits and a great view of the uptown skyline. Highly recommend stealing some time and heading to Petty Thieves!

    Super unique spot for a brewery. Seems like they built it in an old airplane hanger. There's a ton of indoor and outdoor seating. All of the couches and seating inside is mismatched. It reminded me of a coffee shop. We came on a Friday night and the atmosphere was chill. Lots of groups of people but still plenty of room for us to find a seat. There was someone playing live music which was a great touch. I really enjoyed the guava sour. My husband had the hop drop and roll which was a traditional wcipa- citrusy and bitter. If I lived here, I'd definitely bring my laptop and work remotely from here. Highly recommend!

    My second time to this brewery, and while better than my first experience (I came on a weekend during good weather and the place was packed and understaffed, so waiting eons in line for a beer or to close out the tab and the staff were not very pleasant probs because of this, I felt like I needed to give this place another shot to be fair), I don't think I'll be back. While the place itself is a treasure trove of fun, cool, rustic, antique, and steam-punkish decor to explore and even boasts a hidden room (which in and of itself is ultra-awesome to have your beers in) inside and a great outdoor patio, I'm all about the beer. The beer here was hit or miss for me both times; when it missed, it was an absolute airball, but when it hit, it was a bullseye. That being said, I tend to dislike new breweries that don't offer flights or samples. As a new patron (they are celebrating their 1.5yr anniversary if the 1.5 tshirts for sale are to be believed) , I don't yet know the brewer's style or if a beer labeled as a type of style is classic and true to that specific style of beer or if the brewer is taking artistic liberties with that style. For $5-7 a pour, I don't really want to take a gamble I'm not going to like something...it's a waste of money and beer imho. I also don't get why newer breweries like this one wouldn't want to invite patrons to sample and gather a following that way, at least for the first couple of years...after that I could see no longer doing flights or samples. I for one would probably be here every other week if they offered something other than expensiveAF half pours because, like I said, when their beer hits for me, it is a bullseye! Speaking to that, our bartender (who was much nicer than the other two at my previous visit) did state they had half pours available since they didn't do flights or samples. Ok, great...so usually what a half pour means is you get half the pour of the regular beer size at half the price...just basic logical sense right? Yet here for a half pour of their $6.50 No Kings it was $5.25!?! WTAF!? How does that make any sense!?! Also, if that's the case, then they need to post the half pour prices on their menu board! I would NEVER have ordered 8oz of a mediocre beer for $5.25!? I felt flat out robbed! I got 3 half pours of supposedly 8oz (not knowing their idiotic and out-right gouging pricing scale) and my tab came to $15!? Absolutely insane! I have been to hundreds of breweries throughout the US and have never been price-gouged for a half pour like I was here...sadly, when it comes to their "half pours", this place absolutely lives up to their namesake of being petty thieves. There are so many other better brewery options in Charlotte, that not only offer flights and samples, but price their half pours accordingly.

All of them were really good with the hazy pale ale and the vanilla coffee blonde being my favorites. Cool art of the Wooden Robot could be found throughout the brewery. My only regret is that I didn't buy a t-shirt.

I ordered a chicken Caesar wrap and it came with a side. I picked fries. They text you when the food is ready to be picked up. The wrap and fries were average and definitely not worth the wait. My friend got their pretzel sticks appetizer. Her food was delicious. All the employees were in good spirits! The brewery is indoors and outdoors with tables sprinkled throughout. After 20 minutes of searching, we found a table inside. I would try this place again simply for their pretzel sticks, but would make sure it's not during a busy game day if I'm super hungry.

I scored a…read morefirst-class upgrade on the flight in, Enterprise ran out of standard cars and handed me the Keys to a convertible, and I ate the best grits of my life topped with Milwood's crispy brisket. That was just half a day in, so naturally, I started feeling like Charlotte had passed me a note, "I like you, stay longer." The one thing I failed to respect was the Carolina summer sun. I desperately needed a hat. Sure, I could have gone to Target or the bike shop I passed earlier, but any civilized man knows the best place to buy a cap is a brewery. Untappd pointed me toward one of the most popular breweries in a city full of popular breweries: Burial Beer Co. Since I was driving, I kept things responsible and sampled taster-sized pours, spacing them out with non-alcoholic mocktails and 0.0 beer like a grown man who still wanted to remember where he parked. Burial also offers cocktails, ICEEs, low-ABV session beers, THC beverages, wine, and self-serve water. The menu helps you navigate the offerings with color-coded sections: cocktails in blue, light-bodied beers in neon green, dark ales in orange, and high-ABV options in pink. Food isn't available onsite, but delivery gets the green light. I grabbed a corner seat at the bar, not because I wanted to brood, but because the post-brunch crowd had arrived in full force with babies, buddies, and dogs. Every bartender and guest I spoke with treated me like I had wandered into a neighborhood clubhouse instead of a brewery. They gave recommendations, bought me a drink, and one even helped me pick out a hat. Southern hospitality is alive and well at Burial Beer Co., a place that turned a shopping trip into a welcome party, proving that Charlotte knows how to beat the heat with good pours, good people, and better merch.

    HUGE thank you to Legion…read more Our company, Opkalla, held its big team Midyear dinner at Legion last night (which I'm responsible for planning), and I was absolutely blown away by the entire experience planning with Gabby, through the event itself for about 50 people. Before I even get into the event itself though, none of it would've been possible without Gabby being such an absolute joy to work with throughout all of the planning leading up to it. During the planning phase she made my life about 100 times easier instead of harder, which is saying something because that's definitely not always the case with venues and I've experienced the other side of that coin elsewhere! From the second we arrived, we were treated with genuine attention and enthusiasm (not to mention, HUSTLE!) I was running around so much all day that I can't believe I'm blanking on a couple of the girls' names now...I remember Kayla's name specifically for some reason...but EVERY single server, bartender, etc working our event was absolutely AMAZING. (As an aside, I worked in hospitality for years, so I know firsthand how much goes into pulling off a private event like ours. Legion's team last night made the entire evening seem effortless.) Drinks were flowing and refilled so quickly, everyone was constantly checking in with me to see if we needed anything, the food was fantastic, and while I didn't catch his name in the middle of all the celebrating, the steak carver you assigned to our event was such a great guy too and SO wonderful with our team. I genuinely can't find the right -- or enough -- words to explain how impressed I was with the entire experience, from the planning process all the way through the end of the night. This was probably the first large team event I've been responsible for, whether at Opkalla or any previous company, where I actually got to relax at times during the event and almost felt like a guest instead of just the planner!! You have no idea how refreshing that was. (Not that I would've minded running around putting out fires if I had to; that occasionally just comes with the territory and was definitely the case earlier that day prior to Legion!) Legion handled everything so seamlessly that I barely had to do any "work" during the event beyond enjoying the evening and checking in with our team. It was obvious everyone had everything they needed, and even more obvious that everyone was having an absolute blast. Thank you again for making this such an incredible experience. It was truly one of the smoothest, most enjoyable events I've ever been a part of, and that's a huge credit to Legion's events team and serving/bartending staff. I can't wait to work with them again for future events, and to recommend them to others I know who are often in need of event venues! THANK YOU AGAIN, GABBY AND LEGION!
