Cavendish Brewery - Gastonia

One of our favorite breweries. Some of the best Hefe Wiezen on the continent and this is from someone who lived in Germany! Wish we lived closer. The pretzels are the best ever. The bar staff are great. Casual open atmosphere with a very nice friendly crowd!

Okay, a caveat, I have been wanting to do pub trivia for ages. So, when I found out Cavendish Brewery has trivia night on Thursdays, I was ALL IN. The brewery has a nice funky setup. The pizza was pretty good. I was driving so I couldn't drink but next time, I'll try something. Only issue, the website says trivia starts at 7:30 but I got there at 7:28 and they were on round 2. Go early. Overall, it's worth it.

Pizza is DANK! Dogs are more than welcome. Always have good beer on tap and just got liquor a few months ago! Something for everyone. Very friendly crowd.

I came for trivia and dogs. Left thinking this need to be a television show. So many great characters! Including the people I went with. A very welcoming spot for everyone.

We stopped here during a road trip and we were so glad we did! This place has great beers and fresh tasty food. You can customize your pizzas and they even honored my request for it to be extra crispy. The pretzel is great too. They have both indoor and outdoor seating and it’s ALL dog-friendly (yes, you can have the dogs inside too). Plus it’s far enough outside the Charlotte area so it isn’t super busy. Worth making a stop if you’re driving down I85!
