Fun local spot to hang out in downtown Belmont! They have a good variety of beers (wish they had some DIPAs but IPAs are good). And a small food menu which is nice. Parking is easy in the lot. Local crowd and I've enjoyed my visits here. It's nice and quiet earlier in the evening. read more

We were visiting Belmont downtown today and stopped in on Sunday around 1pm. We saw a lot of great choices in the area, and thought we would start here in the old brick building. Love the atmosphere here. We started off with the pretzel appetizer with beer cheese. Huge pretzel! Also, delicious. There were a few items on the menu they were out of. I think it was about 3 or so sides not available, but having never been before we understand after a probably busy Saturday night, they would run out of some popular sides. Not an issue. Maybe keep this in mind if you visit on a Sunday. We tried the chicken sandwich with cheese curds(a good sub for the tots), the Cuban, Tacos ( had the pork and chicken) and a Philly shroom sandwich. All terrific. My son loved his Philly with the grit cake side. He said it was the tastiest mushroom sandwich he has had. This place has a lot of amazing beers offered and people were taking advantage of the beer menu. We didn't try the beer, but we were glad we tried the food here. After lunch, we had a lot of energy for walking downtown. Hoping to taste some of the sides they were out of next time. read more

Wanted to love this, but the food just did not hit. Beer is good, plenty to choose from. We tried several different burgers and everything needed seasoning. We'd try again and switch up what we ordered. read more

Great setting, friendly staff, fun events and great beer. Love the NA options which are well brewed particularly the IPA.

They need to upgrade Yelp the pizza was very good but we came to get sandwiches my grandson had the sliders and said they as an appetizer they were good.they do not have any of the items shown on Yelp read more

This rating is just for beer and customer service. Both are great. It seems like a wonderful place to spend a day during the weekend, eating and relaxing with family and friends. Service was great. Next time, I'll grab food. They say the boneless wings are a fave. read more

Nice looking brewery. Had a few beers I like. Can't seem to get the kitchen right. Been there several times and kitchen was a complete reboot every time and no kitchen one time. Seems like that can't get that side of the brewery correct read more

Service was not good overall. It was very slow and not attentive. Good thing our kids weren't having any meltdowns. Our waitress didn't know what beer they had or much about it, but graciously brought samples. The food. Overpriced burger but juicy and tasty. Tater tots are amazing. Crunchy. Hot. Definitely order them. Just them. The blood orange beer was a proper pairing. Soooo they have some fun events like karaoke here. We stumbled upon it. Pretty lively. I like how there's enough space to distance yourself from others here whether inside or sitting outside. The railroad tracks being right there was cool, I don't think there in commission though. read more

Beer - still awesome. They changed their food menu :( I don't know if it's a different chef/kitchen crew, but it's not the same. Menu prices went up (which I understand) but the quality/value went down. My go-to was the BLT (but just BL for me). I got it and it was vastly different from previous times. Very little bacon, overly sauced, toast instead of the bun. They also took their Mac and cheese off the menu. It was delicious, went perfect with their pulled pork, and was a staple for the kids menu. There were some other changes, but it was a bummer to see. We will certainly come here for beverages, but I'm not sure the food was worth the price we payed the other night. read more

All in all this brewery has everything you would need. I am not always in the mood for beer so it's really nice they have a wine selection (I personally love that they offer LaMarca prosecco). The food is also REALLY good! They have pretzels and lots of small bites and actual sandwiches as well. They also just added dart boards (about 4 or 5) in the back of the brewery so if you're up for a game that's an option! They have board games for you to play as well at your table. The servers and bartenders are really great and have lots of knowledge on their beers. We sat outside (yes they have umbrellas and pets are welcome inside and outside). During the summer it is a tad bit hot just fyi but sitting inside isn't bad! They offer trivia on Thursdays as well! read more

Another gem found on yelp! We came to Belmont looking for new restaurants and what caught our eye was the menu options. While beer is always a plus the flavors and variety of options available. We started with the pretzel which is the size of a pizza platter. The beer cheese was to die for but mustard is also a viable option. The pretzel comes season with primal seasoning which is the best part about it! We also ordered the Cuban flatbread which was perfect. The base is made of a very fluffy dough which was amazing. You can find your usual toppings of Pickles, onions pork and mozzarella. We should have ordered two of these since we were left craving more. We will have to do more exploring of the beer menu but we will definitely be back. read more

First visit 5/14/22 We enjoyed a couple beers a split the chicken sandwich with a side of tater tots! Service was a bit off, as with everywhere they are short staffed. The 2 girls working were hustling and did a great job trying to keep up. The food was great and the beers cold. Lawnboy Lager for the win! read more

A must stop in Belmont if you're looking for good beer and great bar food. I came with my dog on a Sunday so we sat outside. GREAT patio btw. Plenty of space and open tables. Didn't get a chance to go inside but it seems big from the outside. Service was outstanding. I'd come back just for that reason, no need to though because the food & drinks were just as good. I've been on a sour/fruited beer kick lately, I was a little disappointed they had nothing like that but opted for a pumpkin seasonal beer which came with a caramel- cinnamon sugar rim. It was better than I expected! Would get it again. Alright the food- YES. They have QR codes you scan for drink/food menus. On their menu is a disclosure that they pride themselves on using local ingredients. You could taste the love that was put into their food! I had the blackened chicken sandwich (add maple bacon & goat cheese!) with a side of onion rings. They make their sauces with their beer! I had a cream ale aioli of some sort and some spicy ketchup- I think made with one of their brown ales. The sauces alone stole my heart! They have a dessert menu and do seasonal desserts. I'm a sucker for anything but ordinary and my server mentioned a Beeramisu. Tiramisu made with their pumpkin beer. Had to have it. Ordered it go and it was such a huge portion it lasted me a few days. Overall a great visit. Makes me curious to see how other locations they have compare! read more

Great spot for hanging out! The beer selection was on point. We tried the Lil Fuego Habanero Lime ale, R&D Golden IPA, Primal Witbier, Pojo IPA and Primal pale ale. Each one had its own character, but the Lil Fuego was by far the most unique. Boneless wings with Buffalo sauce were good- the blue cheese sauce stole the show. It had real chunks of blue cheese in it and great flavor. The fish tacos had nice crunch from the mix of shredded carrots and cucumber. I opted for the corn tortillas and they held together perfectly. Looks like the loaded tots, sliders and flatbreads are also popular. Lots of seating options- the deck outside and the indoor dining area had a mix of smaller tables and plenty of larger tables. If you have a group, they have room. There was a baseball team at one end of the deck when we were there. There is also a game room inside with lots of arcade favorites. On the Saturday we found this spot, they had several tents for local vendors. Parking was plentiful in the gravel lot behind and around the side of the building. read more

The beer was awesome. The giant pretzel with pub cheese was phenomenal. The grainy mustard was House made, and it was also fantastic. Looks like a great little brewery, I believe we will definitely come back. The service was friendly and fast. Love the outdoor tables unfortunately, it was pouring down rain so we had to sit inside, but it was nice as well. read more

Hey what do you do when your flight doesn't leave for 4 hours? You could do the breweries at the airport (actually cool they have them). Or try one close by! 7.4mi to be exact. 2 flights and then I got to catch one! 14 beers on draft so narrowed it down to 8 2 best in my mind were the Pojo and the Lil Fuego. Order of boneless wings and visit was complete. Located in old brick factory building. Indoor and out seating read more

Very cute place with plenty of indoor and outdoor seating options. Chill vibe, several beers on tap. I had the Primal Ale and it was great. The stout was a bit sour but overall decent. Also ordered the loaded tots and the pork sliders. Wanted the flatbread but they were sold out. Tots were amazing and the sliders were very good too- the rolls were super soft! The bartender and waitress were both super personable and quick all around. Will be back again! read more

Primal Brewery - Belmont - Primal Mug Club! - Venues & Event Spaces Near Me - Belmont, North Carolina

Beer and customer service is always great but leaving this low review because of the food and the automated ordering stations they've added. This place use to be so good and the food was great but now it's on par with public school cafeteria lunch. Everything seems pre frozen and is way over priced. Hate this place changed the kitchen. read more

Let's start with the PROS: The fried pickles are fantastic. The pickles have a garlic taste, but not an overpowering flavor. The cheese curds are great, but the sweet heat sauce that you dip them in makes them phenomenal! (Which leads me to believe the boneless wings tossed in that sauce would be equally as amazing.) And the POG Grenade Gose was one of the best beers I've ever had! I'm a fan of sour and Gose beers, and this was top notch. The bartender/server that helped me was attentive, and very friendly and approachable. She had a great attitude, and never seemed like she hated her job or got aggravated even when I took a moment to mentally debate which beer I wanted. The bar/dining area is open and not overcrowded. The tables have comfortable chairs (which is a big plus, because some bars/restaurants seem to purposely use uncomfortable chairs so you don't want to stick around longer than it takes to quickly eat a meal). The music wasn't too loud, and unlike some places, it was music that I enjoy. And even though I didn't take advantage of the game area, it was there and I'll probably go back just to play. Now for the only CON: The Lemon Haze Pale Ale is awful. There's NO lemon flavor in that beer. It tasted like cloves. I took two sips of it, both sips made me think about Christmas dinner in my childhood when someone had put way too many cloves on the ham and all I could taste were cloves (core memory unlocked), and I decided there was just no way I could choke that down. When the bartender/server came to check on us, I asked her if I could just get the POG Grenade again because the Lemon Haze tasted horrible. She said sure, took the awful beer away, and brought me the much better brew. What she didn't do was remove the beer from my tab. I feel like the right move is to take the beer off the tab since I only took two sips. If you go to a restaurant, and your food is bad (and you don't eat it, but rather send it back), the restaurant doesn't charge you. And I've been to other bars/breweries that did the same when the beer they serve isn't good. If I had drank half or more, I'd understand still having to pay for it. But having only taken two sips, still being charged left a much more bitter taste in my mouth than that bad beer did. Overall, not a bad place. I will be back for those fried pickles and cheese curds, and most likely some boneless wings. And plenty of the POG Grenade. read more

Loving the new digs. The OG location is in Huntersville and is a bit on the small side comparatively. This new place is huge, bright and beautiful. Has a very chill vibe to it. All the staff were great! You can order directly at the bar or they have table service. Covid protocols followed to a "T" and even QR code menus (separate ones for beer and food). I tried quite a few beers, ordering two flights. My favorites in order were the Lemon Haze Pale, Mother of Human Kindness Stout, R&D 103 IPA and the POJO IPA. The others were solid but these four stood out. The table next to me ordered a sausage platter - it looked and smelled so good, I had to get one too. Two steaming Andouille Sausages, toasted bread, housemade pickles and red cabbage. Simply amazing - my mouth was happy from first bite to last! Love this place! read more

Great brewery in Belmont. Plenty of outdoor seating during COVID and the drink/food menus can be viewed through a QR code. I got the seasonal Pumpkin beer and it was delicious! Served with a brown sugar rim (first time I've had a CLT brewery ask me if I wanted it served that way!). I also got the Wheat ale and it was also tasty - a little more on the happier side, but nonetheless still a great beer. I also split the pretzels served with beer cheese and mustard with my friends, and I got the wedge salad which was excellent. The maple bacon on top was dynamite and the balsamic dressing was the right amount of tartness. I was very impressed with the salad. Next time I'm in the area I'll need to stop by again! read more

Great food, service, people are extremely nice and the building is in a cool spot. We brought our dogs there this past weekend during a slow hour so we can socialize her. We sat outside in the shade and had a good time. read more

This place is fantastic! Five stars on food and service! The ONLY issue is that it's hard to find if you don't know the area. It's tucked next to/behind the post office. After driving for ten hours from Phil, we were tired frustrated (and a little annoyed with each other lol) but finally found it and were sooo glad! After sitting at a table we were immediately greeted by Brittany, and the evening just got better from there. The food was delicious. In talking to Brittany we half jokingly made a minor suggestion about the flatbread that came with the fantastic humus and tapenade (omg the tapenade was just so good!). A little while later the chef/manager came out to talk with us. He was super nice and it just put the icing on a great evening. We're just sorry we don't live in the area so we could go thru the menu one entree at a time! We highly recommend this place! read more

Went for dinner at the bar. The food was ok. I'd pass on the Cody's Mac. If you LOVE cheese it might be for you. The service was awful. I only interacted with the bartender who was unhappy, rude, and just plain terrible. I even told 2 other staff that the bartender was unhappy and they said "we know"... Wouldn't come back because of her. read more

Ok for beers decent selection and helpful staff. Unable to assess the food since we arrived late, but the menu looked OK

Came here on a Thursday night. Tried almost all the beers and i can honestly say i didn't care for any of them i drank them anyway and got a good buzz so i guess that's a win! The nachos were so good. I would have those again. The flatbread not so much. Overall i prob wouldn't come back here. The servers were very attentive and the place was kinda quiet. So if you're looking for a low key spot this might be for you. read more

Great spot in Belmont with good beer and bar food. They recently extended their patio, so there's more outside seating (just not enough shade, though the umbrellas help a bit!) I ordered the mac and cheese with brisket, the brisket was cut up super small and didn't have a ton of flavor but the mac and cheese was great! I'd order again without meat. We also had Buffalo boneless wings that were delicious. Our server was friendly and we really appreciated the table side paying system. read more
