The Olde Mecklenburg Brewery Review

I enjoyed the environment there. The crab dip and chicken avocado sandwich was great. I don't like beer, but they head a drink there, a pilsner and sprite, mixed together which was pretty enjoyable. And I felt the prices were fair.

It's a cool vibe for me - I don't know what was up with, service & such. My tastes run "backwards" on biers, ales, porters, and stouts cronologicly say as in a tried & true recipe from St James' Gate, Dublin same recipe as 200 years before I was born! Sorry.

Very Beautiful Place ...
Only problem here they close too early 10pm?????
At least please Open till
Midnight....

Get the sausage sampler. Good German style beers. Will definitely go again when in the area.

If you haven't been here and you love yourself beer, then you owe it to yourself to come and check out OMB. First off they have one of the coolest beer gardens outside and biggest beer halls in Charlotte. It's all authentic German style beers and they do their beers up right!

Beer is middle of the road and food didn t justify the price

Always a good time! Good beer, good food, good atmosphere!

Family and Dog Friendly! There really isn't a venue quite like OMB where kids have plenty of room to run around outside while you enjoy sitting at a picnic table, drinking local beer, and listening to music. Inside and outside has a really laid back feel to it. Also, everything I have had to eat there has been delicious. They don't have a big wine selection though, for fellow wine drinkers. But what they have is good enough.
Our most recent trip there was for their Weihnachtsmarkt event. By the look of the amount of cars and people streaming in I thought it was going to be a madhouse, but their space was more than enough for us to not feel packed in and able to even find a place for 8 of us to sit and hang out at. Definitely a go-to place to get a group together.

Nice clean facility, the food comes out really quick and is tasty! The menu has a great selection.

Very nice setting and large awesome outside seating. Probably would be great for a meet up in nicer weather.

Awesome place! Huge! Definitely an experience all in itself! Will be back!!

This is a great brewery for every occasion. They always have events going on almost weekly. They have a spot outside that is well kept up with. It even has a spot where kids can play which is awesome for a brewery. Everytime I have went in there, the staff is super nice and helpful to me as well as knowledgeable about their menu items and beer selection.

Oldest brewery in Charlotte! The outdoor area is unmatched and the German beer hall vibe is a fun environment. Beer is good if you enjoy German beer, generally not my favorite. They have a lot of really fun events that we enjoy going to.

limited seating during the winter, quality brews, good food. recommend.

This a great brewery. One of the few that is open for lunch. It has plenty of space for seating and parking. And the food is good as well.

Staff was kind and on point. Beer was delicious. Only regret is , I wish I could have tried all the beers and food. Every inch of Olde Mecklenburg Brewery is not just clean, but spotless. Will be back again. Wish it was today.

It's an awesome place, a great place to hang out. 4 stars because $12 for the Currywurst is daylight robbery.

Was disappointed in the lack of authentic German food choices and German side dishes.

We had such a great afternoon enjoying the beers, wine, and lovely atmosphere. I loved the outside tables and green space. From dogs, to kids, and big kids (adults), it seemed like everyone was having a great time.

The outside area is the reason I give it 5 stars. It s huge. Tons of tables and space. Some pretty solid food options. Not my favorite beer in Charlotte, but I love the environment.

Beers are good (esp. seasonal Mecktoberfest), but don't expect crazy flavors or funky styles. Food is usually good, but can be hit or miss if you're looking for dinner. Large location and is typically busy on weekends.

Great food and warm family atosphere. Oh yeah the beer solid

Great area, numerous breweries and family/dog friendly!

We love this place so much we had our wedding here !

If you like German Beers, this is your place. Great space for large groups and families.

Great beer and food, super nice staff and a cool venue

Really enjoyed this place! Authentic German beers and a very cool atmosphere. Would have been five stars but the pretzel I ordered to go with the beers was very dry and hard. Needed lots of the beer cheese to get it down - not a horrible thing but wasn t near as high quality as the beer. Prost!

Holy Toledo! I ll be honest, I had my doubts, but good Lord your sausages and sides were incredible! I can t wait to bring my Wife and get her take. The atmosphere and staff were great. Well done! And your bar knows their stuff, excellent job in mixing!

Very nice set up and very good beer with a nice selection. Food was excellent also.

They brew an impressive array of beers. The atmosphere is German influenced - and they use long tables like they do in Germany. for wine drinkers, they even have a couple of drinkable wines. Good variety of food from appetizers to dinner plates.

Attended Christmas market. As usual great experience.

Terrible service! I would never come back this restaurant ever again

Love this place but...
Can't order food from full menu when you are at the bar, can't order takeout over the phone, can't order takeout from restaurant without being harassed about it. Food used to be delicious but it seems to have declined substantially over the past year. Great outdoor beer garten. Beer is unbeatable. Saturday's are always filled with babies and kids, especially on nice days (which is appealing to me, but maybe not everyone).

Echoing other recent reviews. We planned on attending the festival but once got there and saw how many people were packed in the courtyard (most of whom not wearing masks), we decided on 4001 Yancey instead. Instead of owning up to their mistake, OMB has denied any wrongdoing and removing comments and pictures that don't support their narrative.

I had frequented OMB prior to this but I'll have a hard time going back after this experience.

Nice place, casual, German food delish! Dog friendly.

The charcuterie board was tasty. They have a variety of food like sandwiches, pizza, sausages, etc. which I m not sure all fits their German beer garden aesthetic, but whatever. The staff was friendly and welcoming. Try the dunkel for beer, it was pretty good.

Visting from Texas, this brewery is Off the Chart! The service was Great, the beer is Top Notch (Copper was my favorite), in fact I bought 2 cases of it to take home. So if you are in the area I highly recommend a visit.

Best bar tender staff around, awesome beer , the best real beer drinkers paradise in Charlotte

Went there for the first time today. The food was FANTASTIC!! And, the beer was FABULOUS!!! We will definitely be returning, and soon!

Super cool place with tons of seating. Great for hanging out with several friends and enjoying some great German style beer!

Went to meet someone who didn't show but thought I would still enjoy having a beer and a meal. Found an open seat at one of the tables outside (just off the patio), scanned the QR code for the menu and waited to place my order with a server. And waited. And waited. And waited. 3 other tables, whose patrons arrived after me, were approached, orders taken and served. No staff ever asked whether I needed anything.

I left after 30 minutes of no service. Very disappointed.

Great brewery to spend the day at. Excellent choice of German beers

Great German style beers brewed onsite with the best beer garden in Charlotte.

Great place to eat. Beer drinker paradise. Just watch out for the weird intersection! People run the stop signs all the time.

Love this place! I certainly like trying all the different craft beers that Charlotte has to offer but this is the only one I find myself coming back to over and over again. They ve always got a great selection of seasonal beers along with their year around staples. The food is always great and the atmosphere of a German beer hall is unlike any other brewery in the area. Prost!

Nice outside area, wine selection is limited, food is good, beer is very good, but won't fill growlers that aren't theirs.

Best Charlotte Brewery! Observes the Bravarian purity laws for its creartions, so dont come expecting IPA. Do expect clean and crisp beers that flow easily, one to the next. If in season, try their dunkle varieties.

Cool atmosphere. Great tour. The beer garden is huge, and the interior social completes the authentic experience.

We went here in the winter and the place was packed both inside and out. You can order food and beer outside and they have heaters scattered around. Lots of dogs too.

This place is fantastic.
HUGE outdoor space has given us little reason to hang out inside. Though the inside space offers a huge bar and [it looks like] two private party rooms. The outside is dog friendly, has outdoor games and a ton of seating. There are always events here, like outdoor yoga and they constantly rotate local food trucks throughout the week. There is a small outdoor bar too, so that you are never far away from the German style beer they brew on site. Great beer and a huge outdoor space make sure that this is on the list of places to go in South End CLT.

Super friendly staff. Great selection of beer. Even had 2 hard ciders.

Enormous, very pretty grounds and buildings. I have yet to be disappointed in any of the beers I have chosen here. Staff is very friendly and helpful. Generally seems to be a haunt of young(ish) professionals.

Excellent as always. one of the few places to get a beer that doesn't taste like grapefruit. If you're a hophead quit ruining it for the rest of us, and go somewhere else. Also watch those folks with your credit card, my numbers got stolen twice shortly after eating there. Still we come back, where else can you get a Hungarian sausage?

Best family brewery in North Carolina. The staff is courteous and goes above and beyond to make every visit the best experience you have ever had. Love the taproom and the Biergarten is HUGE! So many great bands and not just a bunch of drunks everywhere. Only for friends and family's that really enjoy having a nice outing. Classy place. Top shelf with no dust.

Great place to hang out, take your dog out, do the Tuesday night yoga, have a wedding, drink a beer or whatever! Beautiful inside and out and has a great selection of beer, wine, and foods.

This place is way too big and you just kind of get lost in the building.

I tend to like a space that is a bit more welcoming. But if you like large places then this might be it for you. The beers were okay nothing to brag about. I'd say good quality beers that are drinkable.

The bar top is pretty big and the interior of the building lacks a distinct personalty.

In general, a nice place to grab a beer if you are in the area.

Quality of the beer is very good - I should know this as a German. I also like the beer garden atmosphere and that you can bring your dog and kids - lots of green. The only downside in my opinion is that the food is slightly overpriced for the quality and quantity you get.

Why did you block me on twitter?? Bc I tweeted this

Was that your way of apologizing bc you forgot to apologize for being irresponsible and risking peoples lives. Glad you had to explain the cancel culture and try to get people to feel bad for you.

Pathetic

Good atmosphere, food, and beer. Was there for a reception

Cool place with both indoor and outdoor seating. The beer and food are both alright. They have wine as well. There are events here sometimes. The atmosphere and facilities are definitely better than the food and drink available. Parking is terrible on events days. Better to Uber.

This place is huge both inside and out. Was clean, and service wad great. No food this time but will come back again to try food. We just sat and had a team meeting for a bit.

A classic German style pour house with tons of room. Their menu is pretty good, and their beer pays homage to traditional German brewing styles.

Biggest brewery in Clt? Nice outdoor beer garden near other breweries. Never been anywhere else that you can actually brew-hop with 3 or 4 other breweries near by.

The beer was good but wife and I got terrible food poisoning here after eating the charcuterie plate.
