$$ · Moderate·Leashed only
A Charlotte-born brewery founded in 2015 with multiple taprooms, including Plaza-Midwood and SouthPark's Trolley Barn, known for its Slainte Irish Dry Stout (a two-time World Beer Cup silver winner). Its official FAQ confirms leashed, friendly dogs are welcome on patios at all locations. Ample patio seating, weekend brunch at some locations, and regular events round out the experience.
Why it made the list
Every Legion taproom has generous patio seating where leashed dogs are explicitly welcome per the company's own FAQ, so any neighborhood works.
Good to know before you go
Per Legion Brewing's published FAQ, dogs are welcome on patios (leashed and friendly) and kids and families at all locations; only service animals belong indoors. Hours were not published on the FAQ page reviewed.
Practical notes
