    “This is a beautiful cozy place to hang out. They have indoor and outdoor sitting. The bartender was so sweet and always smiling and very helpful. We went to a nearby brewery with out own food only to find out they dont allow outside food. So we moved here. I have been to the rtp one too and both are beautiful locations and very friendly staff.”

    “Lovely place to hang out. They have huge outside sitting and good amount of inside sitting too. The staff was friendly and beers were great. Some friends had cocktails and they loved it too. We went with our own food and snacks but couldn't eat as they serve food and outside food is not allowed. That is fine, we just realize they serve food too.”

  • Crank Arm Brewing Company Durham 620 Fernway Avenue, Durham Brewery

    5 Crank Arm Brewing Company Durham

    4.8 Superb 34 Reviews

    620 Fernway Avenue, Durham

    “Crank Arm is rad in a world that is full of bad. This place is so much more than a bar. The run club is huge, supportive, and chill; trivia welcomes all kinds of nerds; the Wednesday bike ride has grown exponentially; and Crank Arm is constantly supporting bike, walking, accessibility, and advocacy events across Durham. They’re genuinely dog-friendly, with treats and good judgment about keeping everyone safe and happy. There’s pinball, shuffleboard, cornhole, great music, excellent TVs, NA options, and—very importantly—chips. The Saturday early karaoke is also not to be missed. The staff, especially Adam, understand that bars can be third spaces and community spaces. They’re welcoming, responsive, and actually care about making people feel comfortable and included. Need to organize an event? Adam makes the whole process weirdly painless and pleasant. And can we talk about the bathrooms? Four clean, spacious, single-occupancy locking bathrooms. As an aging punk, I appreciate the nostalgia of gross bar bathrooms, but I am officially over it. Sure, occasionally someone gets grumpy because 30+ happy cyclists or runners inconvenience them for three seconds. But honestly: come join us instead. Great beer, great people, great community, and a place where you’re allowed to show up as a whole imperfect person. Crank Arm rules.”

    “I was surprised to find a light(in calories and carbs) beer made by a craft brewery. As a diabetic, this is greatly appreciated. Taste wise, it's a change of pace from most light beers, which are almost all pilsners (this one is an ale). They always have this beer at Food Lion and Urban Axes. I hope to see it in more places around town.”
