Bulldog Taproom and Social, a bar known for its selection of craft beers, has quietly closed in Charlotte’s NoDa neighborhood.

The spot on North Davidson and East 36th streets was listed as “permanently closed” as of Monday, Nov. 17, though it’s unclear when the business officially shut its doors.

“We’ve consolidated BulldogCLT to a single home on Winnifred Street to deliver a better guest experience — tighter service, stronger events, and the same neighborhood energy,” a message posted on the restaurant’s website reads.

A comment posted to Nextdoor noted that Bulldog’s signage had been removed, and the windows were papered over, adding: “I saw two movers moving all the furniture out two weeks ago.”

CharlotteFive has reached out to Bulldog Taproom/Social for more information, but didn’t immediately hear back.

The bar and restaurant expanded to NoDa back in 2023, taking over the 6,700-square-foot space once occupied by restaurant Room + Board, Charlotte Business Journal reported.

Customers could pick from a “wide selection of craft beers” in an updated space that blended elements of Bulldog and Room + Board, owner Rob Johnson told the outlet at the time.

“It’s just where you come to relax and have fun and have it become your new favorite bar,” Johnson added.

Less than a year later, Bulldog moved its original South End location to the Shops at The Winston on West Boulevard. That spot has since closed, however.

“The Bulldog staff and I are thrilled to go live this week at SE 2.0 at The Winston,” Johnson said in a statement at the time. “We brought over and enhanced everything folks love about our existing South End location and added other features that we know will be very popular as well.”

Now, the taproom at 1434 Winnifred St. is Bulldog’s only remaining location.

This is a developing story and will be updated.
