Bulldog is a new bottle shop also serving craft beer on tap with a few cute bulldogs thrown in as well. As other bottle shops in Charlotte, here you have the option to buy beer to take home or you can also enjoy any of the cold ones from the fridge while there. I'm a big sampler so this place is right up my alley. The owner and bartenders are super friendly and the people who were partaking the day I went in, seemed to all know each other and eager to meet the ones they didn't. The atmosphere is very laid back and friendly.
They are adding a patio to the back of the store, which will be awesome for when it gets even warmer out. I'm pretty sure you can bring any dogs here considering they don't serve food. The day I went in they had a Bulldog rescue fundraiser event so there were lots of cute, snorting doggies running around. :)
If you like beer and live near Dilworth, I would suggest checking out Bulldog. It's within walking distance from Rusan's, Ed's, etc. so it would make for a great pre-game place as well.
