Drink beer here. It’s good beer to drink at a bar
Good beer! Cute dogs! Good food trucks!
I used to come to this space a lot more, but don’t go too often these days because young kids are left totally unsupervised by their parents A LOT. To be clear, I am very much all for parents bringing their kids to a space like this and getting to have a fun time with their family members and friends over a good drink and tasty food truck bites. The big outdoor space in the back is great for families to play games and have fun. I’m all for that! Plenty of families and kids here are great.
But I often see some folks let their kids run totally wild inside and outside where other unrelated adults are sitting while the parents sit down, talk to each other, and pay absolutely no attention to their kids. Groups of older kids (like 7-11 years old) are constantly running past me, under me, bumping into me while I’m walking and even sitting down, or yelling and screaming CRAZY loudly indoors with each other in the smaller space like they’re outside. Parents do nothing, they don’t even look up or are sometimes nowhere to be seen, and management definitely does nothing. This isn’t the kids’ fault at all, it’s not like they asked their parents to take them to a brewery.
It happens literally EVERY single time I come here. I don’t see this problem at other breweries, even at busy beer locations in places like Cary where I see a lot of families hanging out.
I don’t know what’s going on, but it’s a very consistent issue here and I’m pretty tired of it. I used to work at a more family-friendly brewery myself where I loved to see families and had no problem politely asking parents to hang with their kids if they started being too rowdy or if I saw kids wander away from their parents by themselves. It’s a safety issue at that point. This location is right next to a highway where cars go 50+ mph.
Good beer at Vicious Fishes and cool location, but please, just ask parents to pay like 30% more attention to their kids if they start getting rowdy or really loud inside.
We enjoyed the pizza and the brewery
Pizza truck is available on every 2nd Tuesdays and 4th Thursday
Loved the wood fire pizza 🍕
Great atmosphere and beer is tasty!!
We stopped by this brewery today. We usually go to the one in Cary, but since we were in the area, we decided to check out this location instead.
It has a totally different vibe—more suburban, while the Cary spot feels more urban. What was really cool, though, was the live music and the fun atmosphere with lots of kids running around. Since we had our daughter with us, she really enjoyed it too.
Overall, a great spot!
Great place for a wide variety of quality beers, in a family-friendly (and dog-friendly) environment.
Great beer and outdoor seating but not what I think of as a brewery or bar. Before 8pm children usually out number the adults at the bar and outside.
Employees are rude and unprofessional. Seems like they enjoy being a jerk to customers
This is a true hidden gem! I'm so glad I discovered it. Coffee lover’s paradise.
Great coffee in the morning!

Go to place for hangout. They have great open space for kids and pets. There is plenty of seating inside and outside. I love the patio area outside ( fireplaces). A decent beer collection. I have always seen a food truck outside and serves decent pub food.
On Nov 22nd 2024, three of us went to the bar. Beer was ok. But the lady that served us didn’t give a warm feeling. Don’t ask me for data but didn’t feel welcome there. After I gave her the credit card she threw it back. May be I have to tap it but that doesn’t mean you have to throw the card. It doesn’t cost much to smile for the lady at the bar. Being a minority I refuse to be a victim and don’t want to go to a dark place. But wonder why was treated that way?
Not a warm welcome on my first trip there, probably won't go back.
I had a question about the coffee but it's NOT really about the coffee it's how someone makes you feel.
Seemed like he didn't want to be there. Good luck.
I love the atmosphere, good beer and service.
Tip included 50$ for 2 burgers no alcohol not even that good truely
