About Legion Brewing
The Plaza Midwood location of the Charlotte brewery, reopened after a renovation.
Legion’s First Taproom in the Brodt’s Building
Legion Brewing's official history identifies Plaza Midwood as its first location, founded in 2015 in the former Brodt's Music building. That reuse gives the brewery a specific neighborhood backstory rather than an interchangeable taproom identity. The brand describes its approach through gathering, hospitality and beer, while the Plaza Midwood website highlights both brewing and food. Juicy Jay and Penguin are named among its familiar beers, with other offerings changing alongside them. The food program should be checked on this location's own pages because Legion says its menus vary by branch and season. Visitors who remember earlier versions of the taproom should also consult the current site, which describes a refreshed space, instead of treating historical brewery coverage as a complete account of today's visit.
Commonwealth Avenue Across from The Diamond
Legion Brewing's Plaza Midwood address is 1906 Commonwealth Ave, Charlotte, NC 28205. Axios Charlotte's original brewery coverage placed it across the street from The Diamond, whose listed address is 1901 Commonwealth. Petra's at 1919 Commonwealth supplies another nearby reference point, making this a distinct cluster within the broader dining and music district. Resident Culture is the other brewery on this list, but its 2101 Central Avenue address belongs to a different frontage and should not be confused with Legion's taproom. If arranging a brewery meeting, include both the brand and Plaza Midwood branch name because Legion operates other Charlotte locations. Consult the branch's official menu and event information before combining the stop with dinner or a performance elsewhere on Commonwealth.
