Great scene, great beer, definitely recommend. Food trucks are a plus. Have cash on hand cause it's preferred.

I’m not going to lie, im not the biggest fan of the beer here. There are a few solid staples, but there is a taste in most everything they make that is somewhat off putting. I can’t put my finger on it. Been going off and on for years and I just can’t find anything I really like or find solid. The atmosphere is great and service is friendly, the beer is just not something to write home about.

This was my first time here and I wasn't disappointed! My book club met here and there was plenty of space for us to mingle. I'm not a craft beer drinker but I did sample their seltzers, which were all good, and I ended up doing a half and half with their limoncello and sour cherry (at the suggestion of the bartender). It was delicious! I'll definitely go back.

Good local brewery with a wide selection of craft beers on tap. Plenty of space to bring the kids. Live music and a food truck add to the fun.

Deep River is conveniently located in downtown Clayton. It has a really laidback atmosphere, welcoming staff, and is dog friendly. You can check out their website for fun events like musical bingo, and they often have food trucks onsite. Bonus - they have sour beer options and cute merchandise.

I went with my friends and we had a lot of fun. They have a great selection of beers at a reasonable price. Definitely try the Pumpkin Pie Porter, it was great! I want to go back hopefully sometime soon when they have live music.

Came for the first time to see Annabelle Eason Music at the Halloween Hootenanny 2023. Great vibes and crowd. Annabelle Eason is excellent!!! The Portable Portugy good truck on site was a great addition. The bartender dressed as Sully was so sweet and made the experience that much better. If we were ever in town again, this is our spot!
Excellent brewery in Clayton. I had heard of Deep River before, but hadn't made the trip over to it in Clayton until now. I was looking for a yoga class and saw that Victory Power Yoga was leading an hour class at Deep River for $10 which included a pint of beer. What a great deal. I arrived and easily found parking beside the brewery. The yoga class was indoors by the stack of cans. The doors are left open or closed depending on the weather and noise level. The picnic tables and chairs are moved to the walls temporarily to make room on the floor for yoga. Bring your own mat. After the class, we went to the bar for the included pint. I tried a couple of options: schwarzy, 4042 chocolate stout, ginger snapped, and watermelon lager. I would have selected any of them. They had great flavor and tasted as I hoped. I decided on the schwarzy black lager. It was heavy, sharp, and had a great flavor. The employees were all friendly and efficient. Plus they play excellent music at an appropriate volume. While there I learned that Deep River brewery was the first legal brewery in Johnston County. Bathrooms are available inside. As you walk to the restrooms you can take a peek into the brewery. Check out their website for events and food truck schedule...or stop by to try their brews. I had a positive experience here and recommend this brewery to others!

Large inside and outside space. Nice selections on tap including their tasty lagers. Popular with families.

First time visiting this brewery. Came for Octoberfest event. Excellent selection of tasty ales, from IPA to porters, stouts and lagers. Very large indoor with ample seating and great room for live music. Outdoor patio and street level seating areas also popular amongst guests. They were not doing any sampling for this event so we had to order a beer we thought we’d like the best but they were all good.

Love it! Great atmosphere, beer, food trucks, prices, and it's close to the house!

I’m a local musician and it’s always a pleasure every time we play here. The staff is friendly and the crowd is always awesome!! One of our favorite places to play.
