Love this place - I need to come here more often! I've been here a decent number of times over the…read moreyears and realized I have never had a less-than-awesome experience. I've come as a Charlotte newbie, then became the one showing the place off to visitors, and in between I'll show up for a trivia night here and there. Staff here is my personal favorite- everyone is kind but not pushy or bothersome. They know the bar and the food menu.. I have asked what to order and fully gone along with their suggestions. Zero regrets. This is also a wonderful place to take friends or family visiting from out of town. My parents moved down here with me; just across the border in SC, but absolutely loved it here when I took them. They're boring and picky, and Wooden Robot somehow was exactly what they were looking for.

I love a place that lives their motto. "drink good beer, do good things"…read more The place: wide open with plenty of seating inside and out. I feel even if it's packed, there's still ample room to not feel like sardines. The food: delicious in all of their offerings. Fries were perfectly crisp and not oily. The hummus was well balanced and tasty. The beer: my initial only reason to visit. But tasting their offerings had me sold and ready to give them all my money. So here's why they live their motto. The cans we bought started leaking, we went back and asked if the leakage was a problem. They asked a few questions and profusely apologized and gave us two six packs of their beer with no charge. I tried to pay but they refused. They could have just said "sorry to hear" and sent us on our way but they made us whole. Plus, their code of conduct is awesome and should be a standard for all businesses. We're fans forever. Not only of their food and beer, but their values. Thank y'all so much!!

The food here is actually super good for a bar spot! I have tried the pizza, burger and blt and all…read moregreat, the fries are my favorite. When you sit down there is a QR code to order your food and they text you when it's ready. They have napkins, salt pepper, sauces and everything available to you when you go to pick up your food. I love how it's dog friendly. The beers come in 2 sizes and they have liquor drinks upstairs. They do not have everything though so be sure if you're looking for a certain drink you are aware. Love the live music as well.

A gorgeous 2-story, open-spaced brewery located in Charlotte! I went on a late Saturday afternoon…read moreand this place was popping with college game day fans. 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.

All food coming out of the kitchen looked fresh and made to order. Sat at the bar and enjoyed the service and the atmosphere. Great overall experience Thank you guys!!

A few years have passed since I last visited South Park and I was lucky to have free morning to get…read moresome shopping in. Shopping is much better while dosed up on coffee so we figured we should try out this coffee shop. Upon entrance, I really enjoyed the moody atmosphere in the shop. Everything was clean and organized which is a huge plus. The staff was kind and patient in assisting us with ordering. I opted to get a Banana Bread Cold Brew which mixes one of my favorite fruits, with my favorite type of coffee. It was delicious is kept me going while I was shopping. The whole brewery looks incredible and fosters an environment which people seem to enjoy themselves. The coffee shop was all I needed but hopefully I get to go back and see the rest of the brewery at some point.

Cool spot in Plaza Midwood to grab drinks and food…read more Lots of indoor and outdoor seating, a rooftop bar, a bottle shop, food truck in back, and it's walkable to lots of other bars and restaurants so you can easily get a change of scenery.

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!

Next up in my brewery visiting to find a new trivia spot was Birdsong. Nice location and great…read moreservice. The trivia goes hard here so that could be good or bad depending on how competitive you are at trivia and on how seriously you take it. Beers were good but no food or food trucks the night we were here. I enjoyed the feel of this brewery more than most of the other ones I have been to lately.

It's nice to get good drinks with an open patio vibe. I loved the food truck that was here.read more

We chilled here for a couple of beers which I went with the Pilsner as I wanted something light. Service was friendly and attentive. They seemed knowledgeable about the beers which was helpful in making a decision. Cons (but not detractors): I was hoping for more options for IPAs. They had two and one was can only. That is why I went with the Pilsner.

Great local brewery with lots of offer!…read more We picked up food from the Cook Out across the street, parked for free in the nearby deck, and came over with our infant daughter. It was pretty empty when we arrived but started picking up once the Panthers game started. Musicians arrived and were setting up for live music as well. There's a good variety of drink options, Lost Worlds brews to wines to N/A, along with a few shelf-stable snacks. And it's BYOF, so you can pick up from any of the restaurants in the area or even the Trader Joe's. I love the global décor, and when we went in early January, it was still decked out for the holidays. I came across an event schedule in the bathroom, and looks like there's something going on most evenings - from trivia to run clubs to dog nights. Plenty of seating both indoors and outdoors makes it perfect for a group and casual hang outs!
