    Bang bang shrimp wrap
    Michael A.

    Hidden back behind gibson mill this unassuming brewery offers many well done draughts. I tried my wife's sour drop, which was in fact sour. Very lemony ..Maybe too sour for me. The food was pretty good, just your average brewery fare. Burgers and sandwiches etc. The bang shrimp wrap I got was really good but I'll probably just get the appetizer version next time. I found myself picking the shrimp out and eating them by themselves because they were so good. Fries served with the sandwiches were interesting, like a combination between chips and fries. Really crispy with lots of surface area to dip into ranch but still had that fluffy potato interior.

    Cabarrus Brewing is a massive brewery located inside a renovated mill building. It looks very rustic from the outside but inside it is beautifully decorated while still maintain the old industrial aesthetic. They have a large kitchen and walking in I immediately smelled barbecue, it smelled amazing! I will need to return to try it, but we were there for drinks. They have a lot of outdoor seating as well so we took a seat outside to enjoy the beautiful weather. In addition to beers they serve cocktails, including slushee mixed drinks that are colorful and tasty. They are also conveniently located next to the Gibson Mill so if the menu doesn't entice you it is a short walk to the market where there are plenty of options available. This is a cool neighborhood spot and if you live in the Concord area or find yourself passing through, no doubt you should stop in for a visit.

    As someone who doesn't drink it feels funny writing a review for a brewery. I really like the space and that they had some Na options. I got the hop water while we were there. They have food and it's near other things as well!

    I was looking forward to hanging out at Cabarrus Brewery tonight. Cabarrus Brewery located at Gibson Mills is a great brewery in Concord. When we got there at 6 PM they had stopped serving food. That was surprising and disappointing. The bar was open for another few hours. It was quiet for a Sunday evening. I will know for the next time and plan better. We would have stayed for a beer but we were really hungry. Next time because this place is always great.

    I really like the space. Tall ceilings, windows so you can see the brew room, large televisions for football. Employees were super friendly, unfortunately that's where all the good stuff ends. I sampled two beers that were just nasty. I finally just settled one that I'd had before. Is it possible that a canned version is better than a draft because I remember this being better. On to the food. My wings were awful. Dry and flavorless. The wife's black bean burger was mushy. Maybe they were just having an off night? Idk but we'll not be back to see.

    Traveled into Concord to try some new spots and discovered Cabarrus Brewing.. let's just say we were not disappointed! The space was inside a renovated mill surrounded by other shops and food spots. We grabbed a beer and sat outside on their picnic tables. I grabbed the cherry lemon sour drop which definitely packed a punch! We had a buzzer for our food order which was ready for us to pick up inside at the counter in no time. I got the crispy chicken wrap which included lettuce, onion, pickle, tomato, and cheese with some of the tastiest homemade fries. The brewery was very much a help-yourself, laidback vibe which was perfect for a casual dinner. Plus there was plenty of free parking behind the building. Highly recommend!

    Cool decor.

    This place is a underused asset in Cabarrus County. We came here for a 21st birthday party. We stayed for two and a half hours and treated kindness the entire time. We called ahead and they assured us that it was okay to bring a birthday cake with us. The area is huge. They offer inside and outside seating. They have a private upstairs area for special events. The brewery area is open to view. The bar serves all of their creations. The place is dog friendly. They even put out water bowls and keep them filled. Everything about this place is clean and friendly.

    We really enjoyed the food. Very good. I had the sundrop slushy which was delicious but 10.50 for a very small glass was over the top for me. Would return for the food but not an overpriced drink

    Huge indoor space with long tables
    Susan Q.

    LOVED visiting this brewery while in town! We were there for the Bark and Brew event and it was a full house of humans and doggies alike. The brewery itself is huge! There are big long tables in the middle and high top tables around the outside of the room, theres also an upstairs area that I didnt get to see but my sister said there are lots of fun events held up there. For my visit, beers were named by people who made donations. I drank an All Ears Waylon with pride and walked my boy around a little before settling him in onto a stool to get a good view of the place! There is a pretty nice menu available here as well as all the beers. They have a really large beer garden outside, and tons of parking. I also purchased a growler of beer to go and that was a great experience as well!

    Room view

    Nice large open space inside and there's outside patio seating also. The wings here are up there with the best. Also a nice view of the huge brewing vats behind glass along one of the walls. Order your drink and food at the register, grab a table... and they give you a beeper to let you know your food is ready. Lots to do outside also. Great for kids and parents and dates, all of that.

When they came, they were so incredible small they barely had any meat on them, and for the price this seems unreasonable. On another visit we sat outside and got absolutely eaten alive with mosquitos the entire time. The waitress was aware and brought us some rosemary, which helped, but this also tells me that this is a known issue going unaddressed. The atmosphere here feels a bit cold on top of all this and albeit it's not a bad spot, there are many places that are a better spend of money than this one.

The entrance is at the middle of the block, next to a centralized parking area. Just open the door by the Red Hill sign and go up that lengthy staircase. Once you reach the top of the steps the space just really opens up. The layout is great with lots of seating. It's big enough for indoor cornhole even! The beer: I tried two of theirs - The Murph IPA was a my favorite, followed by Pinky and the Brine, a watermelon Gose. I also had two of their guest beers from Railwalk Brewery - Patio Time, a Pina Colada Blonde and Hazed and Confused, a Hazy IPA clocking in at 8.5% ABV - they were decent but I far preferred Red Hill's own stuff. So why is there a picture of my bloody leg? Some dodo put a floor fan right in front of the bar where I tripped over it and cut my leg. No bueno. Only once I complained was it moved. I did shoot the owner an email - he responded right away, took it very seriously and promised to train his taproom staff how to better handle customer injuries. Cool place - solid beer - and hopefully no more fans on the floor to trip over - lol!

We decided on the their appetizer sampler just to get a feel for their food, and it wasn't a great feel. The wings were burnt, Maybe that's their "style" but it didn't work. They were so dry. The shrooms had too much breading and were also overcooked, thought at least not burnt. The mozzarella sticks were actually decent. The pretzels was good, but some awful beer cheese.

Indeed, if the cold North runs through you veins, you'll find house beer and mead aplenty to wet your whistle in an atmosphere that while housed in a modern shopping center, is still somehow appropos. Unfortunately, I had driving to do, so alcohol wasn't in the cards, but the menu appealed to us. We needed some comfort food, so we ended up with an appetizer sampler that included a baked pretzel, jalapeno poppers (instead of the fried ravioli that I guess they were out of), buffalo wings, and mozz sticks. We also got a pizza from the current specials, the spicy hawaiin. We like pineapple on pizza, and definitely prefer pepperoni to ham, and this also included jalapenos... so it sounded right up our alley. FYI, there are no waiters, you simply order at the bar, and they give you a numbered buzzer to pick up your food when ready. I greatly prefer this way of doing things honestly. For the food, honestly... a mixed bag, hence the one star off. The pretzel was great, probably the best of the bunch. Jalapeno poppers were nice and large, good flavor balance of cream cheese and jalapeno. Mozz sticks were mozz sticks. We didn't care for the wings. For one, they weren't tossed in the buffalo sauce, it was just poured over the top, and they also were a tad dry... maybe fried too long. The pizza was a letdown, especially since other reviews were so complimentary of it. The slices were very floppy, it maybe could have used a couple minutes more. The cheese had a nice flavor, but the sauce was not either of our preference. Could have used more pineapple, less jalapeno to balance the bites. Overall, we didn't finish it, and didn't take the leftovers for later. It could just be our personal tastes, so go and decide for yourself. Outside of food, it was trivia night, and people were having a great time. We would have taken part if we were staying longer. I think if I lived in the area, I would still come here, and just figure out what food items are the ones to get and which ones aren't. Great atmosphere, friendly bartender and people.

I like listening to good music, but when you're literally yelling at the people next to you, it's not a great experience. 2. My pet peeve - no changing table in the men's restroom. There's room for it, and Dads should be able to bring their kids out without worrying where they'll be able to change a diaper. I don't know if there was one in the women's restroom, but any place that's open to families should have a changing table available.
