Bulldog Beer and Wine

A nice little spot to grab a beer and pet a bullie. They have a limited number of beer and wine that you can take home. The seating is limited but cozy.

Great selection of Beers without being overwhelming. You don’t need every beer, but a selection of the best, by some one who knows. That is what they do at BullDog. This is a bottleshop with a fun laid back atmosphere!!!

Love this spot. Super chill, nice staff, great beer selection. Awesome space outside in the back to hang out with friends and drink a bit. There’s even a grill back there you can use to grill out. I wish I had a dog to bring with me… the bull dogs I met there made the experience even more fun. hence the name right?

The perfect neighborhood bar! Great beers on tap and a very large and eclectic selection to drink onsite or take home. Inviting and comfortable, a great spot in Dilworth! The owner’s bull dogs are frequent and funny visitors.

Fun and relaxed bar with great service! Rob is a great host as well as all the bartenders and the beer selection is always awesome!

Lounge area up front, bar in the back, bulldogs and coolers of beer in between. This place has a great neighborhood feel. The owner and the bartender Joe make this place feel like you are at Cheers. They have a wide selection of beer with more of the rarer bombers up front by the register and they also have wine. They have an ok tap list with some delicious triple C usually on tap. There are food trucks on friday and do this awesome thing called Meatup Monday. This is where everyone brings their favorite dishes in and grills them outside on 2 charcoal grills. Food is shared and is enjoyed by all. Check it out!

Fantastic watering hole! Love it being dog friendly too. They always have a great selection of beers, in the cooler and on tap. I’m a huge fan of keeping the local beers more available, which they do, but there are plenty of others to choose from as well. These guys rock!

What a great little place this has become! I’ve stopped in here a handful of times for a few beers and occasionally a bite to eat (they typically have a food truck on Thursday nights). It’s a small place but they have a nice bar and some tables and couches to sit on. I’ve caught the «house» band, Deadman’s Banjo, a couple of times too. Lot’s of fun. They’ve got 2 TVs to watch the games and Rob & Joe really know their stuff regarding beer. A nice place to be a regular.

Great selection of tap and bottled beers! Definitely a Dilworth gem. Occasional live music to enjoy. Plenty of room to sit or stand… Also a great patio off the back. If you’re looking for a Bud Light this is not the best choice… Looking for local beers or some stellar micro brews, Bulldog is a great choice. Bartender is very helpful in suggesting what beer would suit your pallet the best based on what you typically enjoy.
Will definitely return to Bulldog!

It’s nice to be surprised every once in awhile. Not ghost story type of surprise but the kind of nice surprise that involves a place in a great area, dog friendly where I can snag a drink. Bulldog is less than two miles from my house and will quickly become a favorite stop, I’m sure. Take a bottle of wine home for $ 4 less (uncorkage fee I guess) than enjoying it in the shop. Parking is limited and they are a bit hard to find right after the Shell on Park Road and near Ru Sans. mmm sushi… well at least across from the shopping center were RuSans is. I digress, sit at the bar or on a few comfy couches. Super friendly bartender and owner, beer on tap or by the bottle wide variety of irreverent and local brews. Prices were reasonable and a very wide selection.

Great place that is easy to overlook… I’ve pretty much stopped in for a few bottles of wine and beer here, but this is a great hang out spot to if you want to drink and relax after work. I think the greatest thing is that every time I have been in here, the owner’s dog Buster greets me and helps me choose what I will be drinking that evening.
The owners are super nice and make an effort to get to know you as a customer… also make really great recommendations!
The coolers of beer are organized by type and the rack of wine is organized as well (whites are in the refrigerated area). Have not spent much time in the bar area (towards the back of the place) but it looks like a decent place to share a beer or five with friends or just to relax and wind down after a hectic day.
Parking entrance can be a little tight (Dilworth/​Park Rd) so just be mindful whipping into the parking lot and avoiding other cars.

Whether its by the owners or any number of the loveable pooches that traipse around the joint, you are greeted as soon as you walk through the door.
The next thing you notice is the selection. It is a beer and wine connoisseur’s haven. Tasty IPA’s, delicious stoudts, and dreamy lagers abound.
The bar area in the back is ideal for neighborhood regulars to swing by for a cold brew after a day at the office and the lounge area in the front is a nice spot to relax.

Another great bottle shop in the area but this one has some great taps in addition to the awesome rare beers available. I can also tell you that the guys running the place are some beer nerds and that’s what you’re looking for when looking to procure a solid take of new beers to try.
The space is pretty wide open with a bar in the back and a couple different lounge areas available. Such a cool little spot that I know I will be back when I need to stock up!
They don’t have food here but they do have a grill out back that you can use to actually grill your own stuff and you can bring food in if you want.

Great place to pop into right off Park Rd for your specialized beer needs. The owner and staff are very knowledgable about their products and will help you find what you are looking for as well as maybe help you find something new to try!
They also had a small selection of wines in case you are looking for that also. I bought a few Spanish wines and so far so good on all recommendations.
There is a bar area, a front sitting area and a back patio if you would like to stay and hang out for a few. Very nice décor with local artists work. This small spot really makes you feel like you are part of something special.
Thanks guys!

Fun and funky bottle shop and draft house. It a little unassuming storefront, but once you enter the door it appears bigger. The owner /​operator is a great guys nice down to earth guy. Also, the bull dogs that can be found running around are super awesome and friendly.
You can buy beer to go or drink it there. There are Some Tvs and board games to play.
In the back, they have bunch of taps and the offerings change pretty frequently.
It’s nice place to check out and get a beer. Also, next year I hear rumors that they maybe offering growlers and fill ups.

I was super excited when I saw this opening across the street from where I live. Mmm craft beer!
Bulldog is a cozy little place that has a few taps and a good selection of bottles & cans of awesome craft beer. I wouldn’t recommend bringing a giant group — you may fill the entire place up.
I haven’t been there yet for when they have live music, but I’m happy that they’re now open on Mondays! I’m also slowly falling for bulldogs every time I go because they are so darn cute.

We stopped in on a Saturday afternoon, and we were the only people in there, which makes it difficult to fly under the radar (my favorite). The fella is a serious beer nerd, and he was excited to check out Bulldog with the recent explosion of craft beer stores.
Parking was easy, and the inside was dark even though it was sunny outside. I was disappointed there was no dog inside! I kept looking, and I’m sure the staff thought I seemed awfully sketchy casing the joint, but I was just looking for a puppy or two.
While the selection was solid, they didn’t seem to have much you couldn’t get at any other craft beer store in Charlotte, and most of what they had, they only seemed to have one of. They said they were still working on the deck and hoped to have food trucks on the weekend, so there’s promise, but we’ll give it awhile before we go back and see if they’ve settled into a groove.

I’m not sure how many more breweries and bottle shops Charlotte or i can handle, especially when they continue to be positive experiences.
Despite initially thinking this place was around the Park Rd shopping center, it’s not. It’s close, but just down the road. It’s by the Shell across the street from Ru Sans and Fran’s. Had to drop in before dinner just to scope it out and pick up a little something for later.
I’d say Good Bottle Co. has a larger assortment overall, but obviously Bulldog has a solid selection that would keep me happy for life.
The owner was really friendly and accommodating then even threw in a pint glass with my small purchase. Do i have too many pint glasses at home already? Yes. Did i want another one? Yes. Does it make me want to go back? Yes. i’m easy.
This place solves my dilemma when eating at Ru Sans. Since Ru Sans doesn’t really offer much (anything?) in the craft brew sector, i see this as the perfect pre and/​or post dinner stop.

This place is right in my fun zone! Close to The Wine Shop, Total Wine and More and Uptown (also known as Downtown, if you’re a native Charlottean…)…
Let me just say this: they have puppies! Okay, I know, the namesake Winston is not a puppy… He’s old enough to be a full grown dog, but I’m still calling him puppy… Later in the summer, the patio will be finished and you can bring your own puppies, as well… Sounds like fun to me…
The beers I’ve had from their tap were great… Off the top of my head, I can remember the Allagash and a Porter… I think the Porter was my favorite, it is incredibly smooth… There are also coolers and coolers of beers that line the wall and they will serve you any of those as well…
The owner and the bartender (Rob and Ben) are both super cool and they make for good company as you enjoy the numerous options… I’ve been in two weekends in a row and met some soon to be deemed regulars that were very amiable as well…
Right now, parking isn’t much of an issue, but I suggest when it gets warmer and this place comes into its own that you get there early… I know I will… :)

Goodness gracious. All of these awesome bottle shops (or, shoppes) keep opening in town and all of them have a unique aesthetic, appeal, and selection. Enter: Bulldog Beer & Wine. Dilworth and Charlotte’s latest addition to the beer enthusiasts and those seeking a bottle of wine. Made it in this past weekend and I couldn’t be more thrilled to see this Boone transplant stake it’s claim in Crown Town.
Parking is a little sparse — juxtaposed with that of a dry cleaner and cozied up next to the shell parking lot, it’s a tight squeeze when it comes to parking. Don’t let it stop you, however. It’s a low-​lit shop with coolers chock a block filled with bottles of all kinds. Bombers on the counter, chilled wine in and others on the racks next door, bar seating with 6 brews on draught, comfy couches/chairs…and Winston, the bulldog. He’s the shop’s mascot, so to speak and belongs to owner, Rob. There are plans to make this place super dog-​friendly. For those of us hoping to adopt a pooch friend, or those who care for a canine companion, this place will be a haven for bitches (boy dogs, too) and brews… quite literally.
This could be the final motivator to finally introduce a dog into our family. Within walking distance to home, close to East Blvd and Freedom Park, I can see many a picnic happening and starting here at Bulldog.
We were happy to pick up a 6-​pack of Lagunitas «Sucks» and Rob sold us two bottles of Hopslam. Winning. Great finds, as both brews have been great this year. Looking forward to coming back and having a pint (or seven) at the bar and saying hello to Winston again!
Here, here, Bulldog!
