Was very excited about trying this place when we first moved to CLT, but what a huge letdown. A great beer selection and spacious patio are about all VBGB has going for it -- not that those are bad things. The food, however, is altogether AWFUL. Greasy pretzels, overcooked bratwurst -- admittedly, I've had the real thing in Munich, so my bar's pretty high. Decent place to meet friends for a beer after work, but make sure you don't come hungry.
