14 Best Craft Breweries in Durham

“Great place for delicious beers! Great atmosphere and staff! Will definitely be back now that they’re in Gastonia“

“We had an absolutely great experience here. We picked it on a whim but so very glad we did! The beers were excellent, with a really good variety available and the food was probably some of the best I've ever had at a brewery. The Cuban sandwich was super tasty and the Cajun-seasoned fries were ridiculously good. It's a nice space, too. Plenty of seating inside and outside. I dearly wish I lived closer so I could go again.“

“From a small and aspiring brewer in NH, I love to visit and try all breweries when I travel, and the Glass Jug does a wonderful job of providing a warm and inviting atmosphere. The selection of beer and cocktails is great for beer lovers or those dipping their toes, and has options for those timid or even wine lovers. I highly recommend trying the exciting things like hard Ginger beer, something fun like these sours. You won't be disappointed!“

“I genuinely enjoy the experience that I had here. Our bartender was extremely knowledgeable and very friendly. I also asked him quite a few questions regarding the beer that they sell and he gave me a lot of information and from that I was able to make a good selection to take home. I would certainly come here and I will definitely bring some friends. We sat inside and didn't venture out too much but I did see a couple people bring their children in and I read there are quite a few things for children to do.“

“Service, beer and food was outstanding. Thank you to who ever thought of brewing something for the Blockhead. My wife was like, we are going once she found out there was a NKOTB boc. Haha. I can’t wait to share with my beer friends. #runforbeer #swabeerfinder“

“Our favorite Durham bar! Good place to watch games, great beer and cocktails. We haven’t joined the bike club but like their trivia nights and walk club, they have a bunch of other events on their calendar. They are dog friendly and have a dog park next door. Some outdoor seating and usually a food truck. Parking is free for 2h in the lot right across (although not strictly enforced in our experience), but also easy street parking. And you can order food with free delivery from timber pizza or torero’s next door. Adam the owner is super nice. They’ll play whatever you want, we always come for women’s basketball games and they’ll find the channel we ask for.“

“Super fast and friendly service, clean. And most importantly delicious food and beers!“

“We were there for a dog adoption event and I decided to try one of their ciders. I got the Tart Cherry Cider and it was really good. The location is great, but the parking is somewhat challenging to find. I love that they had a lot of ciders, since I have Celiac and am gluten free. But I would love it if some of their beer offerings were also gluten free/gluten reduced.

The space itself is awesome. They have a large game room with a pool table and arcade games, that one of my teenagers really gravitated towards.

And the dog adoption event with Freedom Ride Rescue was great! So many lovable dog options, from young to old, and the fosters were very knowledgeable about the temperament and backstory of each one. Overall, a great experience!“

“Great spot to hang out and big or small groups. Manager Jessica is fantastic and her staff is Top Notch! Shout out to JM, Jake, Mark, Flan, Rachel, Kristin, Chris, Danni, Zoe, Zane & Emily“

“Relaxed atmosphere and good beer selection.“

“Lovely bar with delicious beers. Lots of games and comfy seating and dog-friendly!“

“The food is great. Very well managed. I’ll definitely go back!“

“I’d give them 5 stars for the pickles alone. Please consider selling the pickles separately, they are that good. Burgers are fantastic as well, and actually cooked how you order them. All toppings are fresh. Duck fries are really good and easy to share. Service is always friendly. This is my go to burger spot in the Triangle.“

“We called 5 different restaurants to accommodate our party of 27 people for a surprise birthday party and were turned down because of the size of our party. We called Flying Bull Restaurant and Brewery and they not only said yes.. but heck yes! The service was amazing and the food was top notch! Can not recommend enough. Thank you for making our special persons birthday amazing 🩷“
