Caswell Station sits at 366 North Caswell Road in Elizabeth, at the junction where Caswell, Pecan Avenue, and East 7th Street come together. Seventh is the wide one, three lanes of secondary road running through the corner.

The dog rule comes from the restaurant, on its own Instagram account, in a post about the patio: “Our patio is calling, & it’s too beautiful to ignore! Grab your friends, bring your dogs, & enjoy some golden hour drinks this week.” The same post lists $6 house wine on Mondays and $5 well drinks on Tuesdays. Golden hour is the venue’s own framing for the space, which puts the good light there in the evening.

The invitation is attached to the patio and stops there. Nothing on the Instagram account, the website, or the Facebook page says anything about dogs inside. That split tracks state law anyway: North Carolina’s food code, 15A NCAC 18A .2656, permits dogs in the outdoor dining areas of a permitted food establishment as long as they’re physically restrained and don’t pass through any indoor part of it. Caswell Station runs a kitchen. The indoor side isn’t the restaurant’s call to make.

Leashes and water bowls are not published. Not on the site, not on Instagram, not on Facebook. Mecklenburg County’s animal ordinance, Sec. 3-71, requires physical restraint anywhere off your own property, so county law governs the patio either way.

Hours are the gap. The contact page gives an address and a phone number and nothing else, and the Facebook hours module renders as “Opening Soon” with no times behind it.

Food and drink menus are posted as PDFs linked from the site, image scans with no readable text layer, which is why no dish list appears here. Brunch has its own PDF. The kitchen is New American by the Instagram bio’s description: wings, tacos, flatbreads.

The Little Sugar Creek Greenway’s Metropolitan Avenue access sits about a mile west. Resident Culture’s Central Avenue taproom is roughly the same distance northeast.
