    Came here for improv night with my wife for an impromptu date night. Parking is very limited. Had to make several laps before a kind gentleman guided us to some unmarked parking. Very old school barn door bar kind of feel to the place. We didn't hang out in the main bar area as the improv was in the, I don't know what to call it area. Beer selection is good, bar food was excellent and came out quickly. We had a really nice time and I recommend visiting if you are in the area.

    We finally made it here. Love it. Great sandwiches and pretzels. The brews are even better. IPAs for hubby. Stouts and kombucha for me. They even have your choice of kombucha as a mimosa. Delicious!

    Came in on a Saturday night and it was pretty dead. I liked all the plants everywhere. Surprised our beer was served in plastic cups when we were sitting indoors. Beer was ok. Good vibe though and they have lots of choices for beer and kombucha.

    My first visit here and I was meeting a large group for a holiday party. Staff was great and had an area toward the back *roped * off for us. It was a rainy Sunday evening, so they were not busy, and there was plenty of space to mingle. They obviously have beer but also kombucha ( they are well known for this), wine, and a few specialty cocktails you can choose from as well. I had the hot chocolate with Baileys, and it was fabulous. They do offer some food options as well. Will definitely go back another time as they have a spacious outdoor area I would like to try on a sunny day. Did not get a photo of that as it was pouring rain all night!!

    Murals... say what?

    Bartender knowledgeable. Huge variety! Peaceful surroundings. Fun outdoor area for being in the city. Check out the murals.

    Good fun, friends and solid beers. Saw a wrestling show here and service was impeccable and there was good vibes throughout. Good weather so hung out back on patio

    So I fell IN LOVE with Lenny Boy on Sunday. It's a freakin plant oasis in there and I just wanna move in with all my plant babies! I got to chat it up with Phillip at the bar about the plants and their plant history and also beer history. He was great, so helpful, informative and welcoming! Really made us feel like friends :) Of course I tried the "booty call" beer first! Loved it! Also tried the Citraphilia and really enjoyed that one too. We topped our beers off with a pretzel and beer cheese and great convo. Going back to Lenny Boy often!

    Great location that is well marked, and has a parking lot. They offer kombucha, year round beers, and limited releases. Dogs are welcomed outside. Service is friendly. Food is just alright, but is very reasonably priced. Beer is decent.

    Stopped by after a dinner date for some kombucha and discovered it was $10 flight night. Staff was super nice and helped me pick out my pours. They gave the option to taste samples so you could figure out what you liked. I ended up adding one I really didn't care for and they allowed me to swap it out with no hassle. Parking lot is pretty big, inside is spacious and the bathrooms are clean. I wish I had room for a pretzel but I was stuffed from dinner. I'd love to come back and try yoga night. An attendee told me it was $5 to participate and you get a free drink ticket to redeem after class.

    $10 pitchers on Friday's!

    This was my first ever visit to Lenny Boy and I was pleasantly surprised by both the atmosphere and prices! They have a great variety of beers, sours, and kombuchas (& hard kombuchas) to choose from, and I loved all the live plants everywhere! Notable features: - Awesome daily deals (the one we did was $10 pitcher) - They serve food, we tried the pizza pretzel - Plant game is fire (seriously, like can I have some tips?) - Indoor and outdoor seating - Dog-friendly - They'll let you keep your car there until 10:30 pm (when they shut the parking lot gate) as you hop to other south end spots - Variety of seating options: normal tables, high tables, couches We really enjoyed our girls night here and definitely will be back!

    The first Saturday of the month, they have a pop up market of local vendors. There's also music playing and it's good time to spend a Saturday. As for the brewery itself, the inside if clean and aesthetic is nice. Lots of seating inside and outside. There's TVs and plants on the walls and ceilings. They have a pretty good selection of beers and kombucha for a range of palettes. We've tried their pizza pretzel and everything pretzel. They do not disappoint. If you're a plant lover like me, to check our their plant room!

    Nice brewery with indoor and outdoor seating options. This bar has one of the biggest sour beer menus I have seen. I ultimately chose to indulge in an apricot sour for around $8. I enjoyed the drink outside on a picnic table. I noticed a lot of people being their dogs here. Also, what was neat was that this place is connected to a flower/plant shop. Who would have thought.. beer and plants? But it seemed like a good idea. Massive parking lot which makes coming here easy!

    Friendly staff, sweet indoor space with hanging plants and plenty of outdoor space as well. A top notch brewery experience! The beer experience was great as well, I had a belgian trippel, as well as a sour, and both were crisp, satisfying and enjoyable to consume. They are also somewhat dog friendly (dogs allowed outside, with a gate kind of like a dog park).

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.

Despite the crowd, it was quick to get drinks at any of their bars (under 5 min wait in line). Unfortunately, I also wanted food and that wait was extremely long. You can order food on their app or at one of the registers on the 1st floor. The cashier ringing me up quoted me 45 minutes before taking my order. It ended up being 70 minutes. 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.

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.

    Updated Review (2026):…read more We've been coming to Gilde since they opened their doors in 2022. When we first began coming, they served delicious authentic German food. Unfortunately, they've changed their menu a dozen times and have removed our favorites from the menu (the original braised pork (they changed it over time, but the original was amazing) and the goulash) :( They have slowly evolved their menu into bar food to cater to the party-going crowd as their street has become more trafficked -- which now means a greater likelihood of having to succumb to the paid parking garage. We're big fans of their beers and did a brewery tour & tasting when Gilde was at its peak. Their beers are the reason I at least give them 2 stars: the pale wheat and red rooster are especially delicious. We even spent our NYE 2025 there and did the stein-holding competition. We've tried new things on the menu, desperate to give them more tries... but we keep ending up disappointed. For example, the steak sandwich is not a steak sandwich, but rather a kebab. We've driven the 40 min drive to go there and show up and then they are closed for a private event (with no notice on their social media). We have also brought friends there and have waited an hour for a server. Last Mother's Day, we showed up for dinner at 7:45 p.m (sure, that's a tad late.. but we left our home at 7) and were told the kitchen was already closed. This Mother's Day, we waited 45 minutes, with no updates or warnings, to be seen by a server. When we tried to place our order, we were told that we couldn't yet place our food order and that we had to order drinks separately because their kitchen was slammed. I'm no expert, but why not still accept customer's orders and speed up the kitchen by bulk-cooking? Can't multiple brats be made at once? Or larger portions of sauerkraut or bacon? Also, only a third of the tables were taken.. so that sounds like some poor kitchen capacity. When we were finally served our food (still took awhile even after putting in the food order), they had served my husbands meal 10 min before mine and then I was served mine.. and it turns out they still had forgotten about our daughter's French toast and had to START it. The disorganization or perhaps just lack of effort/care has gotten ridiculous. So disappointed at the way our favorite restaurant went downhill!

It was not very crowded to fry an open space with some high tops and normal tables. We sat at a booth and ordered a few drinks and a couple sausage. I had one of the THC drinks, the blueberry fizz and my friend ordered the margarita and beers. We enjoyed our food and drinks and had a good time hanging out with one another.

    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!

The server said it was his favorite thing on the menu and I can definitely see why! Can't speak to the drinks as we were having a sober evening but they had beer, wine, and cocktails on the menu.
