“A hidden gem, get Bond Brothers Eastside on your list of venues to visit. I went here last night to hear the Ryan Hanseler Trio featuring Gracie Jay. I can't begin to tell you how surprised I was at the quality of the jazz performance. I spent 6 weeks in NYC this fall and the show was on par with any show I saw in NYC and a fraction of the price. The venue is nice, kind of a traditional, long room but not narrow. Lots of easy, free parking. By about 9:30 pm there were about 20 people there, but my hope is that word gets around and this place fills up, at least on weekends. It would be great to help make a place like this a Cary institution. You can get beer, wine and cider at the bar. They don't have food but you can walk to several very good local restaurants in the next parking lot over and bring in food to the venue. I had a New Zealand Pilsner and a strawberry sparkling cider. Both were really good. I'll definitely be a regular here and I hope you become one too!“
“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.“
“Ideal brewery to relax and have a couple of beers. Love the variety of brews. The patio is a great hangout place especially on a bright summer evening. There is a Mexican food truck too if you decide to couple dinner with drinks. They have basic chips and peanuts to snack with the beer. There are video games too.“
“THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU!!! South Line Brewing Co. is amazing - Conrad and Robin are amazing. Everyone that participated in the Allen Tate Cary Office Client Appreciation said that it was a 10 out of 10!! Matt was a phenomenal bartender and the atmosphere was perfect! Beer on tap is FANTASTIC!“
“Great place for beer with friends. The common area was super kid and dog friendly, if you're into that. Beer was about $7 a pint, ton's of space. They also had a wide selection of ciders, sours, & even mixed drink. It was my favorite of the two places.Parking was terrible, tho, tons of people, and literally nowhere to park“
“Such a cool spot here in Cary NC. Walked in not knowing what to expect, but I rarely pass up the chance to stop at a local brewery. Fortnight has a ton of space, lots of outdoor seating and had music bingo going on tonight that provided a great vibe and energy. Beer was solid, as I had their flagship IPA Blank Coast. Bonus tip- there is a disc golf course in the parking area that is wooded and looks super cool. We didn't play because it was closed by the time we got here. Check this place out if you are in the area.“
“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!“
“We had a wonderful dinner at BJs tonight. Our waiter was great, very friendly, helpful and attentive. The food was delicious, we each got something different…pizza, steak, chicken sandwich and the brisket sandwich. They were all very tasty. The pizookies were outstanding as well. This was our first time at Bjs and we’ll definitely be back.“
“Great location and fun place to have a beer. Lots of board games.Indoor and outdoor seating and there’s a little outdoor alley way.Relaxed vibes. Massive fire pit and neat bicycle and motor decor throughout.Has been around for years and remains a great brewery in town.“
“Despite being sandwiched between a neighborhood and a highway, Southern Peak feels secluded and relaxing--a Brigadoon with beer. The beer selection is excellent without being pretentious, the atmosphere is fun and casual. No restaurant on site, but judging from our one night there, they partner up with outstanding food trucks. They've clearly put a lot of thought into crafting the ambiance, not just the beer.“
“I am a bit bias but house of hops is amazing. My neighbor owns it and as a result we're always heading over when we need to stock up on beer. Doesn't matter if it's just a six pack for ourselves or more for a party Keith always has what we're in the mood for. I love this og location and there are a rotating selection f food trucks weekly as well. Highly recommend if you haven't already checked out house of hops!“
“Pleasant staff and very welcoming to all. The service is above and beyond here. I enjoyed the Ginger beer that's on tap. I appreciate being able to try the beer before I purchase. I came here on a Friday night for a free comedy show. The comedians Cabell and Tony were the funniest. I like that there was a food truck on site but I had food at home before arriving. The ambiance here was okay for a brewery space. The outdoor area was gravel and patio picnic tables which weren't the most comfortable but bearable for a free comedy experience.“
“Nice, little place this one! Outside seating is very convenient if you have kids. They have a solid beer menu and they also have beer flights. They sell some snacks (e.g. chips, pretzels) and the pizza place nearby (Peri Brothers) can deliver your orders right there if you tell them you're at the Sneaky Penguin. We'll definitely go back again soon.“
“I visited the other two Incendiary locations and enjoyed them both. I had a random Saturday available, so my daughter and I decided to check out the Raleigh location. We were not disappointed. The taproom is awesome! I'm not sure what the lighting in the bar is supposed to be, but it looks like lava, and that's pretty cool. Incendiary brews a ton of amazing beers, so that was never in question. The staff was awesome and we had an amazing time. I highly recommend this place to any craft beer drinker in the triangle.“
“Good selection. The special was 50% off on drafts. That’s was cool. If you like sour beers I recommend the Hello Old Friend (9.2%). If you like cider I recommend the Queen Bee (6.5%). Chris was knowledgeable about the selection and offered good recommendations. I will definitely return to try their pizza.“
“My friend and I were wrapping up the Raleigh Beer Trail, and ended in the coolest place. It's a drive past many warehouses and a lil intimidating at night, but a really cool vibe inside. Their home brews had interesting names like "not" baja blast and 2024, and tasted as it's named. I had the "not" baja blast and loved that it tasted like one with the buzz of alcohol and friend had a coffee based brew that was also great. Def worth checking out especially in the summertime with the outdoor seating area.“
“Local Time Brewing is amazing. Their beer is great, the taproom is new and has lots of seating, & it's in a good spot right on Main Street. The best part of all is the people. Chris, Kelly, & Devin are really nice and they also care a ton about supporting the local community. Oh, and they are dog-friendly too! I highly recommend you check 'em out for a beer.“
“Absolutely horrible, I ordered the pork shank. First it comes out cold and on a cold plate. So I sent it back. Next they bring it back to me and they added some lukewarm aju, now my mash potato have separated... and now i have mash potato soap. The shank was dry as hell and has Absolutely no FLAVOR. Not even salt and pepper!!!. It's like these new chef love to presentation but for get to flavor their food. Very nice plating, but the flavor is nonexistent. But let's be fair, white people don't like their food flavored. And this place makes sure they do not get any flavor at all. I would rather have a meal with flavor than a pretty plate any dayWrong restaurant sorry ?“
“Visited here on Tuesday afternoon. The bartender was friendly and helpful. Service was excellent. They have a good selection of different styles of beer. The beers I tried were good. They have a nice outdoor seating area. They are dog friendly.“
“Great selection of beers and good food truck rotation. I try to stop in at least once a week for the NC Burger truck and a beer or 2. Aside from the selection, the staff is very friendly and attentive. This is one of the last stands of places that don't try to make beer a political statement, while keeping beer as a common interest, as it should be. I appreciate the simplicity of this place and how they do all the necessary things correctly. They serve coffee for a period of time and that is also very good. If you want a relaxed social atmosphere with beer, coffee, and/or food possibilities, this is a good one!“
“We were visiting our daughter who just moved to NC a few months ago. Turns out this brewery is so close to her new place we just had to try it. We are so glad we did! Don't miss this brewery for the friendliest bartender (more of a beer mixologist!) and best brown ale you will ever have!“

“Overall Rating: 4.2/10The venue offers a spacious setting with a relaxed atmosphere, but the culinary experience falls short of expectations. While the environment is inviting and clean, the food's lack of flavor and dryness detracts from the overall dining pleasure.Atmosphere: 6.1/10The establishment provides a comfortable and unhurried vibe, allowing guests to enjoy their meal without feeling pressured. Its spaciousness, coupled with clean indoor/outdoor seating options, adds to the appeal, although the decor is described as unique yet basic.Service: 5.2/10The service model, offering both tab and upfront payment options, is friendly and accommodates different preferences. The half-service, self-seating approach works well within the casual setting.Food:Signature Burger: 4.1/10Despite its appealing presentation, the burger disappoints in taste. It's described as extremely bland, with both the beef and sauce lacking depth of flavor. Even the bun, although basic, ends up dominating the taste experience due to the meat's underwhelming presence.Mac n Cheese: 3.3/10This dish suffers from dryness and a lack of creamy cheese sauce, leading to a less enjoyable meal.Chicken Wings: 5.2/10The wings meet the basic expectations for taste and cooking but don't distinguish themselves from offerings at other venues.Value: 5.2/10At $45 for a meal for three, the pricing is considered reasonable, aligning with the average quality and quantity of the food served.“
“The beers are VERY good. I like that they have browns and ambers, too, not just IPAs that seems to be typical at breweries these days. There is a real good variety and seasonal beers on tap as well. NICE BAR and plenty of seating plus a separate room for a private party or meeting. Lots of food places in the plaza so you can bring food in or get it deliver.ed.“
“Great brewery filled with great beers. Shotgun Betty and Sweet Josie are some good picks. Dog friendly and large outdoor seating for when the weather is nice. About seven tables inside along with bar seating when it’s raining or cold. If you enjoy board games they have a couple dozen around the bar for folks to borrow.“
“Super cool patio with great Raleigh skyline view. The brussel sprouts are to die for! Fun flight of various beers. And a super cool event called F*** Up where folks spoke about times where they messed up in life and the lessons learned. Great spot!“
“Had the most incredible time celebrating my partner’s birthday here on Saturday! I was worried no one would accommodate a reservation of 18 and Trophy said no problem. Plus the food and drinks were great and reasonably priced. Definitely coming back.“
“This place is nice but it feels like a restaurant first, brewery second. Full disclosure, I only had one beer and a meal, but the server couldn't give me any basic details on the beers I asked about and there was no description on the menu, so that's not great. Tacos were okay but felt like they were missing something. Overall I left here satisfied but unimpressed, but this was my only visit so YMMV.“
“Loved this place. First time there, but I will go back. Inside and outside eating... upstairs porch or on the ground. Play areas for kids...and adults. A bar serving alcohol if desired. I had a Reuben and FF. Sandwich was great, but the potato puffs that my son had was much better than the fries. Also great cole slaw.“
“Been here a few times and every time the beer selection is fantastic. The beer quality and flavor is excellent and the kombucha options are the best I’ve found. Can’t say enough about the quality of the beverages. Even their hard seltzer is the best I’ve had and I can’t stand commercial seltzers.The entire staff and owners are a joy to talk with and they will happily help any budding brewers with helpful hints about various types of fermentation. The staff is friendly, seems thrilled to work there (they pay a living wage), and they are just decent, pleasant people to interact with.The place always seems to have some kind of event going on in the evenings whether it’s live music, karaoke or something random but fun.Always a great time with great drinks and a fun atmosphere.“
