Michael Waltrip Taproom 7731 Gateway Lane Northwest, Concord, NC 28027

"Excellent drinks!! Wings and potato skins eh :( Looks like an excellent place during events. We thought the live band was karaoke."

"It was disappointing...was it because we went on a "trunk or treat" night or...? We might have to go back and try again when there is no activities planned in the parking lot. The food was good, but barely warm, as it may have been sitting awhile before being served. Our server had no knowledge of the beer that is served, stating, "I don't drink beer". That is all well and good, but you should know the products you are serving. The place inside was nearly empty, but service was incredibly slow. The shining spot in this outting was the Michael Waltrip beer selection. They are great tasting and our party tried a variety of them and not a bad critique of any of the ones we enjoyed. I definitely would go back for the beer."

"Me my wife and son had a great time eating there. Michael Waltrip was there and very polite, he signed my sons picture as well. Burger was amazing and all the food. Definitely going back!"

"Sorry Michael, but if you're not going to even acknowledge patrons after 20 10 minutes, you don't get a pass. You get a very generous 3 star rating."

"8-16-23 Returned to see if the outdoor deck was completed. It's in progress and may be opening within a week. Had another fantastic round of well-cooked burgers. Our server, Shernika, was awesome! Shernika made sure our food was prepared to our liking and that our beverage needs were met. Met the new manager, Jo, who offered small samples of MW brews on tap before we made our final selection. She gave some updates about recent, exciting changes. Outdoor bar area with corn hole, Connect4, and outdoor Jenga. Michael Waltrip was in the tap room! He is so personable and shared how his brewing company was featured in this month's issue of Forbes magazine. As we were leaving, Jo introduced us to business partner Ken McAllister. Ken shared the vision to open 100 taprooms across the states. Cheers to making that goal a reality! This location has only been open for a couple of months. Total makeover of former location of Hotshots. New decor and updated large screen TVs. Pool tables got re-felted. Tonight happened to be Poker Night with section of tables set up for games. Good selection of beers on tap, including a couple of MW brews... one dark porter and one pale ale (brewed in Bristol, VA). Burgers were delicious and cooked to taste (charred, well done). Bar tenders, Brennen Johnson and Calinda Steinseifer, are very attentive and provide great recommendations. Enjoyed hearing the history of this location in chatting with General Manager Danica Hayden. Looking forward to some exciting additions... outdoor deck and live entertainment."
