Here you will find one of the most consistently well-crafted beer selections in Charlotte. Their Countryside IPA is a solid selection and makes it hard to stray into the rest of their menu though I occasionally get a flight just so I'm knowledgeable on their beer list. They've brought in wine for the ladies (which is a bit of sell out for a brewery in my opinion) but it's obviously a place to be seen, and people watch, with the abundance of tight designer jeans on the ladies and popped collars on the guys. If you don't like crowds, stay away on the weekends. VERY dog friendly but not once have I ever seen inconsiderate owners or unruly dogs. I wish I had a dog just to bring it here. I have to agree with a few reviewers on here. The ordering at Sycamore is unbearable even on a moderately busy day. I actually have left twice in March 2016 after waiting 20 minutes to get up to the bar. It's typical to have 3-4 deep waiting to order across the entire 20 feet of the main bar. You can't blame the bartenders but they do have only one speed... LAID BACK (Would you rush with an average tab of $10+ coming in every minute?). They should remove the bar stools and make sitting at the bar impossible on the weekends because it's hard to tell if someone has just ordered and leaving or if they are sitting and drinking (why you would want to sit there with a hundred people reaching over you is beyond me). But anyway, one of Charlotte's best and a must-go if you are in South End.
