On the annual OBX trip and decided to finally give this place a try. It's so close to where we stay in Corolla / C Light. Great beer selection as expected for a beer garden; nice NC options. Great place to be outside and chat. Wish there was live music but maybe just wasn't this night. That would have put it over the top. Coming back with a larger group some time later in our visit. Definitely a must visit if you're looking for something diff in Corolla.

Not quite what I was expecting, but I like the "hole in the wall" feel. Very laid back, but good service. Lots of seating with plenty of shade. Many different beer selections from IPAs to Shandys to Seltzers.

Cool eclectic place to have a drink. Thry have several beers on tap, with some ciders and seltzers mixed in. Just a cool ambiance sitting outside under a huge shade tree & enjoying the day. If you want food, go to a neighboring place and grab food and bring it in here with you. I highly recommend the Blood Orange seltzer!

We ended up coming out here twice during our vacation. Corolla overall seemed to be on the quiet and sleepy side so there's not a lot of exciting stuff going on in the area, but this beer garden is a hidden gem that kind of redeemed it in my eyes. I absolutely loved it here and think it has some of the coolest vibes. It's just a very relaxed little outdoor bar with about 16 or so craft taps, and a variety of seating, all under a huge shady tree. Drinks seemed to be a good mix of local beers with a few cider/seltzer/lemonade type options for any non beer drinkers in your party. Food options were a few snacks they had available, but it appeared you were also free to bring/order food from elsewhere to enjoy there. Both times we went, there were a lot of families and kids enjoying the day together there. The atmosphere seemed perfect for relaxed conversation and for hanging out a while. If I was in the area again I would absolutely love to get a chance to visit the garden again and spend some more time here.

cool place for a beer ! no food on property but good pizza next door that they allow you to bring in. limited seating ! Paid the bill and realized after getting back to the house i was overcharged $50.00, But overall a nice little find

My wife and sister found this spot by mistake while I was running some other family up and back from the 4x4 beach. Stopped and joined them when we got back from the e4x4 for a few drinks. We decided to go back later that night for their live entertainment and more drinks. We did get some pizza from Giant Slice further south on 12 in Corolla at Tim Buck II to go with our drinks. The atmosphere is unique and fun. The entertainment that evening was 2 signers/guitar players. The volume level for their show was perfect. You could sit anywhere and have a conversation with family and friends or strangers yet still hear the music too. The tap selection was plentiful and everyone in our group found something they liked. This will for sure be added to our must stop list when in the area!

We kept driving past this place on our way to and from our house and the shops. We finally stopped in on a Thursday night and this place was great! They had live music and a great hard lemonade! Couldn't recommend it enough. It does get a little buggy, but they have bug spray there. However, don't go wearing heavy perfumes or sprays to avoid even more bug bites

This place makes me wish a was a local and could visit more often! We visited back in May of 2021 and again May of 2022. Great place to sit outside and relax with some good pizza and enjoy some great beers. they have the beers and the pizza is practically right nextdoor. they just ask that you take your food trash with you.

A hidden gem. Good beer list. Great space to relax under a huge tree.I wish they had more snacks beyond questionable chips and salsa.

Very chill place to stop for a beer. They have a good variety of can and on tap beverages. They don’t serve food / but they do allow you to bring food in as long as you take the trash out with you. There is a pizza place right next door which we brought over to eat so it worked out great.
