9 Best Brewpubs near Raleigh

“Mordecai is a fun brewery with nice atmosphere and good beer. There is indoor seating but I think the outdoor patio is the highlight. I would recommend checking it out on a nice day.Parking: Located in a shopping center with a lot and plenty of availability.“

“Not only is the food incredible, but great vibes as well! OBSESSED with their QR code on the table ordering system. It's what makes Standard our first choice for a dinner out with a big group (so easy to have seperate tabs) and our first choice to pop in for a quick snack and a drink (no waiting for someone to bring us our check)! Even though no one comes to the table to take your order, the staff is on point and always there to help if you need it!“

“Our first time here. The beer we had was great & the food was delicious. Bar type food but so many options. We’ll be back!“

“We visited Wye Hill this past Saturday for brunch. We made a reservation online and you get a confirmation. Before the reservation, they texted clear instructions of where to park (free/paid), which was nice. The reservation we made was for the rail seating, but they have other options where you can sit. The outdoor patio is huge with ample seating for a variety of party sizes.The hostess that greeted us and the one that seated us were both very pleasant. Our server was Noah, who did an amazing job. Never rushed us, always checked in at the right time. I love the concept that whoever is available brings the food and drinks as they're ready. This gives the servers who are busy, a chance to wait on their tables as needed without the food/drinks waiting on them.The water cups that they brought out both had random things floating in them. The table that we were seated on wasn't the cleanest, but we were also sitting outside.Drinks: They have a large selection of cocktails and beer. We tried the bloody mary and the Astral Whip IPA. Both were good. The bloody had a slight kick but nothing overwhelming so many could enjoy it. The IPA was flavorful and refreshing.Food: The brussels sprouts. Enough said!!! They were SO good and flavorful. I am still thinking about them to this day. They do provide large portions which is nice given the price. The sauce on the brussels sprouts wasn't lacking and was fabulous. 10/10. The brunch options we ordered were omelette and a breakfast sandwich. The omelette looked fabulous and it's nice to have a meatless option. I ordered the breakfast sandwich without the sausage. I would have subbed a meatless option but they didn't have any. The egg wasn't fried as stated, more over medium. The yolk was messy and it was difficult to eat the sandwich as a sandwich. The breakfast potatoes weren't seasoned much and were very bland.They do charge a small kitchen fee of 3% on the total bill. Before the tip, we spent $82.79. Overall, we enjoyed the atmosphere and the food/drinks. We will come back and try new items.“

“Great food. We tried the most loyal pizza (large). It tasted very fresh. However, I would appreciate if they had a medium size pizza also. They only have two sizes: small and large. Small pizza is a bit too small if you want to share with another person. We also tried cauliflower and chicken wings as appetizers. Both of the items were really tasty.The staff were friendly and provided good service.The atmosphere was very nice. We sat outside. They have nice decorations and seating arrangements there. There is plenty of free parking on the street.I highly recommend this place for couples and large group of people.“

“This place was amazing! Great atmosphere, chill vibes and family friendly(notices few families). Bar tenders had smiles on their faces even tho it was pretty busy. Parking can be limited at times so watch if they are busy. Restaurant right next door, and they have QR codes on the tables so you order and they will deliver the food right over. I will definitely make trip back! If you are looking for a date night, or chill with friends Lynnwood is the place to go .“

“The prime rib special was very good. Cooked to order and was delicious. The whole dining experience was very enjoyable before a concert across the street. Would definitely go here again before attending another concert at the Performing Arts Center in Raleigh.“

“I've been to Bond Brothers a few times to enjoy their diverse brew selection. Sitting outside when the weather is nice is one of my favorite parts about this spot. I also have been trying to go more on nights that they host The Naked Empanada food truck because it is my all-time favorite food truck. The food truck selection rotates but are always great“

“It's about time I upgrade this review to 5 stars. Cotton House has always been my favorite place to grab a beer in Cary, and nothing has changed about that. The vibe is absolutely phenomenal, the beers are all top notch, and the staff who work here are always pleasant. Plus, they often times have food trucks! Just check out their website and you can find out what food truck will be there on any given day. All in all, you won't be disappointed with a visit to Cotton House!“
