Friendly service as soon as you walk in, opted to sit at the bar and had great service the entire evening. The schnitzel with the mushroom sauce was one of the best I've had in a long time...
I'm not a big malty beer drinker. This location did have an IPA on tap and I enjoyed it. The food is good. Get there...
Not busy on a Thursday evening but made the first visit even better. The food was good, loved the bratwurst and sauerkraut, plus glad not to have to rely on a food truck. The beer is great...
This is a good german restaurant and the beer is very decent. Order the Pork. Also all the apps look great although we only ordered the smoked fish toast thing.
This place is truly excellent. I am more of a liquor drinker, but I tried three different beers and loved them all. The food here is high quality and delicious. The staff was also outstanding. If you haven't been here yet you need to give it a try...
Every Wednesday
When can you get $3 beers?
Every W3dnesday, cool off with our crisp Pilsener cans for just $3 —perfect for beating the heat without breaking the bank!
Every Wednesday
The new year always brings new goals and aspirations. If yours is to run the world, come to Gilde and at least run a part of it with our run club that takes off on Wednesdays at 6:30PM.
We’ll have 1, 3, and 5-mile routes to keep it simple, and runners will have the opportunity to share a beer after. Anyone of any level—running, walking, or crawling—is invited out!
For our routes check out our dedicated website at www.1546runners.com.
Other perks:
🍔 $5 burgers to restore that caloric deficit
🍷 1/2 off bottles of wine for your friends who don’t want to run but want to hang (and for those who do want to run but want wine over bier)
Can’t wait to see y’all soon. Prost!
Every Thursday
Think fast, drink slow. Our weekly trivia night is your chance to show off your smarts while sipping on some of the best bier in Charlotte.
Join us every Thursday at 7 PM for a fun, laid-back competition where the questions are clever, the prizes are solid, and the beer is always cold. Teams of all sizes are welcome, and yes—your group chat rivals are invited too.
Brains, brews, and bragging rights. See you there.
Every Friday
On Fridays, swing by after work for Big Frank Fridays! Grab a tasty frank for only $2 🌭 from 4–7PM. Make it full German with the addition of sauerkraut for $.50 more!
It’s the ideal way to kick off your weekend at Gilde Brewery!
Every Saturday
Think you’ve got the strength to outlast your friends? Prove it at Steinholding Saturdays. 🍺
Join us every Saturday for our weekly steinholding competition, where bragging rights are earned one second at a time. New to the game? We’ll show you the ropes during our tutorial at 5:30PM before the competition kicks off at 6PM sharp.
Just purchase the bier you compete with, lock in, and see how long you can hold strong.
This isn’t just for one night, either. Winners throughout the season will battle it out for the ultimate prize: a trip to Helen, GA — the Alpine Village of Georgia and a little slice of Germany right here in the States. The ultimate winner is decided the last Saturday in October.
Grab your crew, test your endurance, and may the strongest arm win.
Prost, y’all.
Every Sunday
Sundays are meant to be easy.
Settle into the taproom or grab a spot on the patio and ease into the day with $5 drafts and $5 mimosas, all day long.
Whether you’re recapping the weekend with friends, meeting up for a casual day date, or just looking for a low-key reset before the week begins, Sunday Funday delivers the perfect mix of energy and ease.
Expect a laid-back crowd, and the kind of atmosphere that makes it hard to leave after just one round.
Just good beer, good drinks, and a Sunday well spent.
Get ready to crawl, Charlotte! Gilde is proud to be one of the official stops on this year's Hot Dog Bar Crawl, a one-day celebration of hot dogs, local bars, restaurants, and cafés across Plaza Midwood, NoDa, South End, Uptown, and LoSo.
On Saturday, August 1, stop by Gilde between 10:00 AM and 11:00 PM to enjoy our $3 hot dogs and collect your official passport stamp. Pick up a passport at any participating location, then make your way across the city, collecting stamps at each stop as you go.
The crawl begins whenever you're ready to start and continues until the participating venue with the latest closing time closes for the night, so plan your route, pace yourself, and see how many stops you can make.
Feeling festive? Costumes are highly encouraged! Whether you're dressed as your favorite hot dog topping or something completely unexpected, the crawl is all about having fun and exploring Charlotte one hot dog at a time.
Oh! And don't miss the Hot Dog Eating Contest at Common Market Plaza at 7:00 PM, one of the signature events of the crawl.
For participating locations, passport information, prizes, and additional event details, check out the pinned posts on Olive's Instagram page. And a huge thank you to Olive for creating and organizing this amazing event!
Please remember to drink (and eat) responsibly, stay hydrated, and happy crawling!
Think you and your friends can spell under pressure?
Hella-Spell is a team-based twist on the adult spelling bee. Instead of stepping up to the microphone alone, you’ll work with your team to spell surprising words before time runs out.
Expect unexpected categories, plenty of debate over which letter comes next, and the satisfying—or humbling—moment when the correct spelling is revealed.
You don’t have to be a spelling champion to play. Bring your friends, grab a drink, and put your collective spelling skills to the test.
Reserve your team's spot here!

This edition of our Brewer's Dinner takes guests on a culinary road trip down the East Coast, with each course inspired by the flavors and traditions of a different destination. As you meander from stop to stop, every dish will be thoughtfully paired with one of our handcrafted biers to create a dining experience that's both delicious and memorable.
Throughout the evening, Chef Bruce Florio and Brewer Willi Wallstab will guide guests through each pairing, sharing the inspiration, techniques, and craftsmanship behind every beer and every course. It's an opportunity to hear directly from the creators while discovering how thoughtful pairings can elevate both food and bier.

The Murder Mystery Company creates a fully interactive theater experience, where the audience becomes part of the investigation.
As soon as guests arrive at the venue, they are greeted by actors already in character and introduced to the story. Some guests may even be selected to play suspects in the mystery.
During the evening you will:
Interact
with professional actors performing the mystery
Work
with your table to investigate clues
Question
suspects and gather information
Solve the crime
before the show ends
Enjoy
a full three-course dinner while the story unfolds
The experience is often compared to a live-action version of the game Clue, with plenty of comedy, audience participation, and surprises.
Even if you're not chosen as a suspect, every guest participates in the investigation as a detective working alongside their table team.
