Vicious Fishes Brewery Brewery • $$
2237 Old US 1 Hwy, Apex

“We stopped by here for a break before our destination. Very nice space, love the nautical theme. Good selection of beers. Dawn was nice and helpful in helping us decide which beers to try. They open early because they also sell coffee in the morning. Great for a co-working space, coffee in the morning, beer in the afternoon. They have a nice patio area, but we stayed inside for the AC. There was a really good food truck called NC Burger that camps out there most of the time. Great burger, Patrick was awesome. We would recommend this place when in the area.“

“This place was great. We came on a Saturday for lunch and the selection was great, the customer service was awesome, the aesthetics were amazing. We had such a good time. My 5 year old said their cheeseburger was better than McDonald’s so that is really saying something. They had fun stuff for all ages but it was super hot so my kids only did the tire playground.“

“Good variety of beers. Had to try the chocolate cherry stout. Didn't really know what to expect but it was very good. Not overly cherry and very subtle. A dark beer I would put in the daily drinker category. Enough tap options to find one you like. Worth a stop if you are close.“

“No food but a good selection of beer and wine with some nice German whites. I liked the stage set up and the music was good. Enjoyed the fact that there was covered outdoor seating so you could hold a conversation. The music was too loud inside to do that.“

Local Time Brewing Brewery • $$
300 S Main St Ste 204, Holly Springs - 5.91 miles

“Staff is very charismatic. Makes you feel like you’re visiting family.

The beers are good. I’m fussy and I like the beers here.

The concept is cool, ie beers from around the world as the name Local Times suggests the local beer of areas worldwide.

There can be music or music bingo, etc.

Dog and kid friendly. There are games to play and magnetic letters on the wall.

There is inside seating, bar seating, side wall barstool seating, out front at table seating and out back on the side among the woods seating.

They have lite snack foods, but you can bring in food from any nearby restaurant. Burgers, Pho, 2 Italian restaurants, sushi, you name it. There 2 local ice cream places within 1 block, too.

There is water, no-alcohol beer, lemonade for the kids for free, 2 clean bathrooms. Place is well maintained and local ppl often make new friends here.“

Raleigh Brewing at the Arboretum Brewery • $
2036 Renaissance Park Pl, Cary - 7.87 miles

“Been here a handful of times for trivia on Tuesdays and always have a fabulous time! You can’t go wrong with their IPAs or a classic Hell Yes Maam. Bartenders are always super friendly and laid back. Personally, I think they have the most well-rounded trivia of anyone in the area too (always a good mix and great for groups of mixed company or ages). All the food from the Chelsea Cafe that I’ve tried has been super tasty too! Overall a great spot.“

Aviator Brewing Company Brewery • $
209 Technology Park Ln, Fuquay-Varina - 8.15 miles

“I didn't take pics, I apologize. The brewery is a few miles away from the other restaurants; however, they're going to be moving everything closer to the other restaurants in the new building they're working on (you'll have to check their website for further details).The guys at the brewery were super chill and friendly! We were stuck bringing our children again (the sitter was a no-show), and thankfully, they had no issue with that. The tour was fun and my husband enjoyed the tasting for sure! We did have a Groupon, but that's not necessary to take advantage of the tour and deals they'll give you.Also, if you're not a beer drinker - they have root beer! And I have to say, it's pretty darn good! We all loved it, including the kiddos! I will add I'm not a beer drinker, but the few I tasted were pretty darn good!! So, be open-minded to trying them all out! My husband loved them all.“

Cotton House Craft Brewers Brewery • $$
307 S Academy St, Cary - 5.29 miles

“Cool place! Location definitely makes a difference. And in this case it simply complements. The establishment itself is very interesting. The creators are people with good taste, this is noticeable in the interior of the “house”. There is a great opportunity to spend time in an atmospheric establishment, with a cool summer terrace, and even delicious drinks, this is priceless these days! A stone's throw from the central park, of course this is a huge plus! I recommend it one hundred percent!“

“Food was great! Outside seating left a lot to be desired…flies everywhere! A citronella candle on each table would be better than the fly trap they had by our table. That was helping to attract flies. Great venue for music but we will never eat outside again.“
