Protagonist Beer - LoSo

Very cool spot. Outdoor seating, corn hole, private dining room adjacent to the pizza ovens. Tall guy on the Beer side was very knowledgable and helpful in finding the right beer. I only wish everyone would STOP doing Hazy Juicy EVERYTHING. I guess that's a sign of the times; get the beer done as quickly as possible rather than be patient and wait for a true IPA / DIPA. My only negative comment - The Pizza. It's really unique to have a 28" size, and very cool to see the "top four choices on the menu" available as a slice... BUT - Two of the people working in the pizza side were wearing giant over-ear headphones. I can only imagine how much they will sue the Owners when they get burned or injured working those hot deck ovens, etc... because they are allowed to wear them. Also, and more importantly, they have no Guest interaction skills and have to pull the headphones off when you speak to them. The slice of pizza took 16 minutes, and was below average. Really subpar ham on the Tommy Callahan. Like they went to Harris Teeter, bought Oscar Mayer sliced ham, and put in on a pizza. With seemingly 19 other "bougie" breweries on Olde Pineville Road, your food sb be much more solid. Food (Beer) for thought!

We’ve hosted 2 events here, and each one has been a seamless experience. Our guests always rave about the food, especially the pizza. The team has consistently been accommodating and responsive, making the planning process smooth and stress-free. We couldn’t be happier with the service, and we truly appreciate all the support.

Jeremy you are an absolute legend! I messed up my Uber order (two pizzas) and I couldnt change the address, so I had to cancel. I ordered again thinking I lost my previous order, but the ubereats showed up with three pizzas! And they were delicious! Thanks again!

Excellent vibe. Excellent drinks. Excellent food.

This was exactly the kind of pizza I've been craving. Perfectly crispy crust, hot cheese pull, and fresh toppings. Bonus points for cupping pepperonis. Good pizza, great pizza!!! Paired amazingly with a Mercury IPA.

Sunday Funday and a road trip stop. The beer (Dolly and Mercury), pizza, and pretzel were excellent!

Beers pretty solid but you can only order certain beers for pitchers. Pizza = trash.

The protagonist's motto is WE MAKE PIZZA.
And they really do know how to make exquisite and very delicious pizza and their beer, wines and cocktails not to mention because they are the best.
The staff is very friendly and the atmosphere of this beautiful place in Charlotte is great.
100% recommended.

Great pizza, great beer and great service.

This is bar far the saddest Brat I've ever been served at a restaurant. The chips are also missing. At least the beer is good.

This place is amazing! And they have my favorite bartenders in all of Charlotte. I ordered their pizza of the month and was not disappointed. Best brewery/pizza spot in LoSo!!

Really cool spot with a great patio. Perfect place to bring a dog and watch football.

Disappointing visit to Protagonist Beer - LoSo. The food menu was a reduced menu and even after that they were still out of basic things like spicy mustard for the pretzel and bratwurst. The bratwurst itself was terrible. I think they just boiled the meat and put it on a huge bun. There was no flavor to the meat whatsoever. The cheese for the pretzel was disgusting, even after we tried stirring it for a couple of minutes. The beer was middle of the road at best. I got the Mercury hazy IPA and I'd give it 3/5 stars. The main reason this a 2-Star review and not a 1-Star is because the staff was really friendly.

Food, service & atmosphere were great

Last night's networking event at Protagonist Beer was fantastic! The venue had such a warm, inviting atmosphere, and the drinks were exceptional! I definitely want to go back!!
