LoSo & South Boulevard · Scaleybark

The Olde Mecklenburg Brewery

Charlotte's German-style granddaddy — a huge brauhaus and tree-lined biergarten pouring Copper amber and pretzel-and-sausage fare, and basically the reason LoSo exists as a beer district.

The take

Everything else on Yancey Road exists because this place proved Charlotte would drink lagers under the trees. It started on Southside Drive before moving here — now the giant brauhaus is the district's center of gravity.

What to order: Copper is the flagship — the Düsseldorf-style altbier the whole brewery was built on. We briefly said Captain Jack; my brother from Charlotte set us straight.

Drinks

  • $7 Margs & Mules All DayMon

North Carolina requires a reduced drink price to run for a full business day, so there is no happy-hour window to list — these run whenever the bar is open.
