“Very welcoming and a SUPER cute place! Owner is AMAZING!“

“I just wish they had a list of beers and ciders on their website“

“We are so grateful every time we get to be back at Innovation Station in Dillsboro! An amazing atmosphere with the most friendly staff. Delicious craft beer and great non-alcoholic options is the cherry on top 🍺☺️ 10/10 recommend!“

“Had a few beers and met some locals in the process, sitting at the downstairs bar. Great staff and great customers! I had a German Pilsner, a seasonal porter, and a really good sour (blueberry cheesecake maybe?). They were all excellent. The upstairs with the rooftop looked pretty cool. I ran up there just to see what it was like. The vibe was a bit more lively up there for sure. Great location right on the river in the heart of Bryson City.“

“The food was fantastic, the beer was delightful, and the staff was spectacular! Our bartender Allison, who recommended the Cuban, which was easily one of the best sandwiches I've ever eaten, was super rad! They were killing it, taking care of everybody and the beer was top tier. I especially loved the seasonal beers.“

“We’ve been coming here for about seven years now, and it’s always been one of our favorite spots. The food and service are consistently great, and you can tell they really care about making sure customers have a good experience. Over the years, we’ve noticed little improvements that just make it even better. On our most recent visit, we even got a tour of the brew room, which was a cool bonus. We had mozzarella sticks, a baked pretzel, a kids cheeseburger, the Bryson burger, spicy chicken sandwich, and a plain fried chicken sandwich—everything was fresh and tasted great. Tony, Mona, and Rachel were all super friendly and welcoming. We left full, happy, and even with a shirt and hat. Just a solid place all around.“
