“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.“

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

“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.“

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

“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!“

Carolina Brewing Company Brewery • $
140 Thomas Mill Rd, Holly Springs - 10.23 miles

“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.“

Incendiary Brewing Co Brewery •
612 W Morgan St, Raleigh - 7.49 miles

“Really enjoyed this intown location. Location was great, vibe was excellent, Service was very good, and the beer was solid. They are one of the few breweries who have a Festbier (lighter), and an Oktoberfest style marzen (darker), in the same lineup during the Traditional Oktoberfest period of late Summer / early Fall. Both were very good.“

Crank Arm Brewing Company Brewery • $
319 W Davie St, Raleigh - 7.76 miles

“Love Crank Arm so much! I'm too far away to enjoy the weekly run club, but they have one along with a full calendar of activities. Their beer is wonderful (shark attack is my favorite) and the taproom has a fun cycling theme. Staff are knowledgable and friendly. If you're visiting, this is a worthy addition to your Untappd collection. (P.S: t-shirt bottle coozies fit our travel mascot, so if you ever make Crank Arm shirt coozies Wrench would like one very much!)“

“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.“

“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.“

“We were in town for the weekend from Tampa and we came here twice! The staff was very friendly, and the beer was amazing! The Oktoberfest was on tap when we were here and it's one of the best I've had. Plenty of variety in their beer styles, and of the few we tried, each were well done. I would recommend stopping by and having a pint while you're in town.“

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.“

“My husband and I enjoyed dinner here on the recommendation of a nearby bed & breakfast called Heights House Hotel! We were welcomed by a bubbly hostess outside and lead into the beautifully decorated indoor dining area. Maggie took care of us from there, and her service and hospitality were 5 stars across the board. She was welcoming, friendly, playful & professional, and we wish we could’ve stolen her to join us for dinner! We treated ourselves to two appetizers, salads, and burgers and loved the flavors of our selection. You can taste that the menu was carefully crafted and normally “simple” items were executed with such craft and care the entire experience felt very upscale. Thank you for hosting us, Wye Hill team!“

“I absolutely adore Trophy Brewing & Pizza. It's such a great place to take big families and parties and the food is a good value for the unique-ness and size you get. The ambiance is super nice and even make it comfortable to sit out there when it gets cold too as they have space heaters outside if you choose to sit there. I wish the service was a little quicker and more coordinated since last time there were people waiting 5 minutes for food while other were waiting for about 45 in my party. Overall, definitely a staple pizza restaurant for me in Raleigh and 100% worth to check out“
