My favorite brewery in the Charlotte area. Great outdoor setup and extremely dog friendly. I'm not a huge beer drinker, but the Preseco pops, especially strawberry, are delicious. This brewery always has lots of events going on so check out their Facebook page. Food trucks are usually there on the weekends if you get hungry. read more

When I walk into a brewery and know immediately that I can't choose one beer but NEED to get a flight, I'm excited. I wish I had more time to spend there and get a couple of different flights because the four beers I tried were all so good and different from one another. I'm a big fan of sours so I tried a couple of different ones including the pineapple skies dry-hopped sour and the breeze tropical kettle sour then added on a saison and kolsch. The space is fantastic, both inside and out, and the staff was super friendly. We got there right when they opened and it started to fill up pretty quickly on a sunny Saturday so I would recommend getting there early (although there is a ton of outdoor space if you don't want the AC like me). read more

Set up is great. Nice patio. Indoors is nice. Beer and bartenders and other workers aren't that great. Someone who can make good beer and hire a good staff should buy the place. read more

Jeez, two minutes for elbowing! This place is great, eh! It's definitely grown a bit too big for its britches though. What a great atmosphere to sample some creative and tasty beers! The branding is simple. The beer is fantastic! The layout is nice and simple...but too small to accommodate the crowds. Live music, friendly service, fun people...what's not to like? All the "longtime" Cubs fans that recently found their "old" Cubs gear in the closet? FYI...dude, Kris Bryant has only been around for two years. They're going to be busy on the weekends...and you're certain to be among a ton of millennials (as a resentfully monikered "Gen-Xer", sorry). Bring your dogs, but the kiddies...well...I've never seen any. You did come here for the beer...right? The beer is some of the best in Charlotte. I'll leave it at that. Try: Who knows...they always have new beers (Try them all)(Get an Uber) Avoid: Cub superfans with newly acquired gear read more

Friendly people and great products. And, if you especially like an all white crowd (I like more diversity) this is the place for you. Seriously tall white dude hangout. If that's your thing then enjoy! read more

Great place for well crafted local beer. The Southern Girl pale ale is light and refreshing. A great choice on a hot day. There always seems to be a great local food truck to satisfy your hunger and your pooch is welcome at the outside seating area too. read more

Great place to hang out in South End if you want to waste some time or kill sometime . They have a large selection of beers on tap, an awesome patio, and occasionally a live band . They often have several events during the summer and food truck rally every Friday. The crowd here is very young professional. There is something to do here most days of the week, so it pays to follow them on Instagram. This brewery is accessible by it's street address, but also via the Rail Trail . read more

The coconut cold brew blonde is amazing! Some of the creamy and coffee flavors of many porters but in a much lighter beer. If this is on the menu it's a must try! I would also say that the coconut wasn't overpowering so it might be enjoyable even for people who aren't huge coconut fans. Cheers! read more

Sycamore Brewing is a Charlotte staple. If you haven't been yet I would definitely check it out. They can get quite busy but they have a massive patio area. The beer quality and selection continues to improve. Tip: Food truck Friday's, check it out! read more

Beer is kind of overpriced by the venue is really awesome. Always have a band and it's always busy! Such a fun place and always a lot of dogs read more

This is my new favorite brewery in Charlotte. The beers are great and the guys serving were cool. The interior was really nice with a lot of space inside and outside. The Peak Farm Double Pale Ale was tasty. Great brewery. read more

Awesome beer!!! Awesome crowd!!! Awesome live music!!! Ample parking!! Love bringing my dogs here and relaxing.

LOVE this new Charlotte brewery! I was there Thursday night with a bunch of co-workers, and we had a fabulous time. We almost missed our reservation at Liberty around the corner because no one wanted to leave the great outdoor space with charming old-school twinkle lights. The Opening Day IPA was my favorite, but the blonde and darker brews were also fantastic. Can't wait to go back... maybe next time with our dog. read more

As a beer enthusiast and interior designer, I can say this is the best brewery I have ever been to. I tried a wide range of their beer selection and found each one to be supremely smooth and delicious. They have wine on tap too! The prices were really affordable as well. The tap room has a great combination of modern minimalism and rustic charm, and it's just huge! There is a large outdoor area where I was able to order food from a food truck (a bahn mi, nooooommm) and a soccer field (yes this bar has a mini soccer field!) plus it's dog friendly! (leash required) It looked like there was a stage for live music as well. There's a large glass window by the bar where you can look in and watch the beer being dutifully brewed, and the bar itself looks like some kind of gorgeous copper slab. They seem to brew small batches so you are always able to try something new and fresh every time you go. The bar tenders are knowledgeable and adorable. I can't wait to go back, I wish I could give 10 stars! read more

I really enjoyed this brewery. A big outdoor casual-space, a solid IPA (which I am a big fan), and good service. The price point is pretty typical for any local brewery ($5 pints). Even though the place was slammed I had no problems getting a beer fairly fast. I was able to park in the large lot however, there seemed to be plenty of street parking as well. read more

I haven't been to many Charlotte breweries, but I can see why Sycamore has a cult following. In addition to having a super memorable and cute logo, they have a lot of space for large events and a minimalist venue making it a versatile brewery for holding events. Today for the Panther's tailgate, they had Tin kitchen's food truck in the back for hungry folk to annihilate. I'm new to the idea of bars without food offerings inside but I find this model genius; Sycamore itself doesn't have a kitchen, instead has partnerships with local food trucks so that the menu changes every time you come. What is special about them is that they do have a wide array of special brews to choose from, so for the adventurous beer drinker, this is the perfect place for people who get bored of beer that taste just like beer. They have special brunch beer cocktails which seem to change weekly. I haven't tried them personally but they look and sound pretty interesting! Bloody Mary beer cocktail anyone? In particular for fall, I enjoyed their Cinnabun Brown Ale, Sweet Potato Wheat, Pumpkin Latte Blonde, and Gourd Have Mercy Pumpkin Amber. A pint of gourd Have Mercy Pumpkin Amber on a Sunday ran me $6, -not bad. While we watched the Panthers game inside, live music was running outside which was enjoyable once the game ended. I can imagine it being packed for weekly tailgates on days with home games, but when it is not busy, it is a very nice brewery to just sit and relax in. I haven't been here after work yet, but I always see it lit up and populated on the ride home from the light rail. We didn't see any typical backyard games like horseshoe, corn hole or giant Jenga, so I think it's a good place to go for a chill night of hanging out. But when there are special promotions or events going on, you can count on me that I'll be back. read more

Beautiful location with delicious and creative brews. Loved that the beer garden was dog friendly and kept clean. The staff also did a great job of clearing empty glasses from tables, allowing guests to simply enjoy the sun and brews! read more

I was only able to stop in for one beer but I was very satisfied with my selection. I had the IPA and it was delicious. Can't wait to visit again and try the other brews!! read more

Last night a group of peers in the architecture community got together for a meeting at Sycamore Brewing. It was a great event and the brewery did a fantastic job hosting us. Great beer as always! Especially the salted coconut one.... interesting flavors, but it worked really well! read more

Take this with a grain of salt since this was our final stop in a day drinking tour of breweries but gotta say, loved it. Great tap room with lots of tables and chairs, really good service with friendly and knowledgeable staff. Dog friendly inside (awsome since it was drizzling). Not to mention, great beer! Oh and thanks to the staff for providing us with assistance/paper towels after poor Doyle got nipped on the schnoz by the neighboring junk yard dogs. read more

Man, y'all weren't lying when you said Sycamore gets crowded! The fella is a huge beer fan, and we hadn't made it here yet, so we decided to stop by for a beer or two on a Saturday afternoon around 4:00 p.m. We thankfully found a place to park in a lot across the street, and we could already tell it was hoppin'. We walked up through the gravel outdoor picnic table area, and Furious George was playing. The outside picnic table area went back as far as the eye could see - or to the light rail - and we headed inside to buy our beer. Inside is rustic, and I only saw one room with tables and a long, leather seat across from the bar. We tried to sit inside since it looked like it was about to rain, but the acoustics were so bad or the people were so loud that we actually had to text each other to hear. Which leads me to say that I'm officially old. I'm 37, and I was older than 90% of the people by a good 10 years. Ha! This is definitely a young, preppy brewery... not that that's a bad thing, just not entirely my crowd. :-) I absolutely loved all the dogs people had brought! They have a tons of beers on tap, an awesome outdoor area with cornhole, and a lively vibe. We'll come back to check them out on a calmer weeknight when the whippersnappers aren't out yet! read more

Sycamore is just not the same anymore. With so-so beer, the main draw that kept bringing me back to this place was the great staff. After not seeing any of my favorite bartenders for some time, I asked and was informed that nearly all of the staff that had been there for years was let go. I cannot fathom why this would have been done. The service was friendly, fast, and professional. Sorry to say I can't say the same for most of the new bartenders. For an establishment that gets as crowded as Sycamore, i can't imagine why you'd get rid of staff fully familiar with the level of intensity and replace them with unseasoned newcomers. We're back to the days of it taking half an hour to get a beer on crowded afternoons. Many of the bartenders seem to not even understand the basics of the food/drink industry. On my most recent visit, one bartender kept walking past many customers with empty glasses so that she could go to the end of the bar and chat with friends. She'd occasionally look over at the customers and pour a drink or two, then go back to chatting while many others were still left without drinks. If a customer's drink is empty and you just stare at them without asking if they need another, you're violating customer service 101 - don't make it hard for people to give you their money. None of the bartenders move with the sense of urgency that the old ones did. Incredibly disappointing. Now it's just a place with mediocre beer, bad service, and a pretty patio. read more

This place is amazing! Friendly staff, live music, awesome food trucks, and most importantly DELICIOUS BEER! I can't wait to go back!

Sycamore brewing is awesome! They have a great assortment of beers on tap and they're more than happy to let you try out as many beers as you want until you find one that suits you! I love the vibe and the decor. They have a rotation of food trunks and I was there on a night when Roots was serving food, which was also good. All around solid place! read more

I love sycamore (except their ciders)! Even when they're packed for a special event, I enjoy being there. I love the food truck Friday idea and bringing everyone together for pumpkin fest, etc. read more

My husband and I have been to almost every brewery in Charlotte and we decided this is our favorite. Awesome layout and location, as well as great beer! read more

Again...hands down....a 'welcome back' makes my heart sing. Love this joint! So nice..and love the ESB! :-)

Having been to every brewery in CLT multiple times, I can easily say, this is my least favorite. Not trying to be too mean to the place but first and foremost, the beers are very 'meh'. None of them stands out for quality or taste. I always get a weird vibe in this place, the crowd is just a little off, certainly comprised of the locals that live within walking distance.. which is not terribly appealing. I would go to Lenny Boy or Triple C any day over Syc if i'm in that area. read more

I stopped by for a beer on Saturday and had a great time! They had a band playing on the outdoor stage, which was a really nice touch. The staff were super friendly and helpful. They recommended that I try the 'Silver Stag White IPA'. Really tasty!! I loved the vibe in the brewery. Very rustic with a laid back feel. I will definitely be going back soon. read more

We had a ball here!! They have a great kraft beer selection. The environment is awesome, we sat outside and met people around the fire. Then later I walked 10 feet to get a gyro from the food truck. I can't wait to go back! read more

I really want to like this brewery but the beer is nothing special. Very limited choices. The wait staff is not friendly at all. There were four team members at the bar and they just looked though us like we were not there. We were the only patrons at the bar. The outside seating is great, but that does not make up for the bad brews. I will not be back. read more

This place had been on my list for a long time. I'm so glad I finally got a chance to visit! Their offerings at the time consisted mainly of Ales and specialty brews. I'm normally a fan of IPAs, so I was a little disappointed at first. But then I tried a few and was pleasantly surprised at how crisp and refreshing and full of flavor these beers were! I will be back! read more

After hearing so much about Sycamore, I was excited to try it for myself. It lived up to the hype. Great beer!

I came here with my beer lovin' friend. Finding parking was kind of tricky, but we did it. Another friend who happens to be a wine enthusiast met us there via the convient light rail. This place was crowded with people and dogs. Some of them had good control of their pets; some of the pets couldn't do a dang thing with their humans. That's how it goes. I love this place because they also serve wine! I had a couple of glasses of the rose, as did my other wine appreciating friend. The beer lover had a flight of four beers. One of them tasted like a candy bar, according to her description. SB offered a small sandwich menu. You order from the bar and take a number. The sandwich shows up, along with a bag of chips. Miss Molly's, I believe. Light tasting with no grease, kinda like Cape Cod chips. My friend ordered the goat cheese and fig butter sandwich. I got the cheddar, barbecue siracha sauce, bacon. I ordered it bacon free. The bartender looked at me like I had two heads, I mean, who doesn't like bacon? But, it arrived without piggy parts. Tasty, too. I wouldn't call it heavy on the siracha, but it had a good flavor. They had a blue grass band playing that night outside. Good group, but they were too amplified. In fact, I would have enjoyed it more if they were acoustic. Loud music + loud crowd = a lot of polite nodding because you have no idea what your table mates are saying. Thank goodness for intermissions. And, thank goodness for a brewery that serves wine. read more

nice brewery; bad call to allow smoking. it's a relaxed beer garden atmosphere before it gets crowded. all ages, so early in the night families with young kids and dogs hang out before it turns into more of a bar atmosphere. Nice seasonal selection of beers, clean restrooms and a food truck usually around! so we would love it, but there's a big drawback: smoking. Why allow smoking -- and place ashtrays-- at every single picnic table when it's a family friendly place? in a crowd of roughly 50 early in the evening, there was one smoker who made the whole outdoor patio stink. So with eyes watering and smelly hair, I left. read more

Charlotte is flushed with great breweries and Sycamore is always a solid choice. Food truck Friday's get really hectic but it's an experience. Sycamore does a lot of small batch beers, so the selection is always changing and you never run into a rut. The beers have never been mind blowing but I've never been disappointed and I've always appreciated the fresh selection of brews. Definitely one of Charlotte's best brewery's. read more

Once again I'm waiting 20 plus minutes to get a beer. I can't understand why the management can't get it together and get enough bartenders to help everyone? They have two bars but yet half the time the second one isn't open. I've been in the service industry for years and I can't understand this. And I'm not saying this in a mean way, im just posting this in hope that the management sees this and fixes the problem. read more

Amazing beer was there sunday night!!!!!!! Cinnamin brown ale is amazing!!!! And always have a blast!!!!

We made the rounds and went to several breweries over the weekend. We split a flight at Sycamore. My favorite was the vanilla beer, it just had the slightest hint of vanilla without being syrupy. It was pretty crowded but the bar staff helped us right away despite being busy and they labeled the beers in the flight for us which was considerate. Nice place, I would definitely go back again. read more

Try the Countryside IPA! Great atmosphere, games to play and great outside garden to sit.
