15 Best Craft Breweries in Durham

“Love this place. The drinks are good the staff is even better. The owner Mike is always friendly and they are constantly doing something new. This is easily my favorite brewery and the fact it’s the only black owned one in Durham it has a special place in my heart. I suggest this spot to everyone. It’s an east Durham gem.“

“Great place for delicious beers! Great atmosphere and staff! Will definitely be back now that they’re in Gastonia“

“Have driven by so many times and finally experienced the outdoor dining last night on a beautiful evening. The food was delicious (even thought they had run out of the rice and beans we were excited to try - just a great reason to go back!) Loved the drinks we tried, and we even splurged with some ice cream at the end. Service was fast and friendly. Now we just wish we had gone sooner!!“

“I LOVE the glass jug. Their beer choices are amazing, ranging from lagers to IPAs to stouts and my favorite, sours. The service is consistently great, with all the beer tenders serving with a personable touch. I also love the glass jug for group and work events since you can easily rent the atrium space out. I found my community here through run club on Tuesdays, Trivia on Wednesdays, and many other events.“

“From a small and aspiring brewer in NH, I love to visit and try all breweries when I travel, and the Glass Jug does a wonderful job of providing a warm and inviting atmosphere. The selection of beer and cocktails is great for beer lovers or those dipping their toes, and has options for those timid or even wine lovers. I highly recommend trying the exciting things like hard Ginger beer, something fun like these sours. You won't be disappointed!“

“Service, beer and food was outstanding. Thank you to who ever thought of brewing something for the Blockhead. My wife was like, we are going once she found out there was a NKOTB boc. Haha. I can’t wait to share with my beer friends. #runforbeer #swabeerfinder“

“We had a wonderful time and the beer was great. Ben the bartender made our visit even better. Can’t wait to go back.“

“We were there for a dog adoption event and I decided to try one of their ciders. I got the Tart Cherry Cider and it was really good. The location is great, but the parking is somewhat challenging to find. I love that they had a lot of ciders, since I have Celiac and am gluten free. But I would love it if some of their beer offerings were also gluten free/gluten reduced.

The space itself is awesome. They have a large game room with a pool table and arcade games, that one of my teenagers really gravitated towards.

And the dog adoption event with Freedom Ride Rescue was great! So many lovable dog options, from young to old, and the fosters were very knowledgeable about the temperament and backstory of each one. Overall, a great experience!“

“Super fast and friendly service, clean. And most importantly delicious food and beers!“

“Relaxed atmosphere and good beer selection.“

“Great spot to hang out and big or small groups. Manager Jessica is fantastic and her staff is Top Notch! Shout out to JM, Jake, Mark, Flan, Rachel, Kristin, Chris, Danni, Zoe, Zane & Emily“

“Lovely bar with delicious beers. Lots of games and comfy seating and dog-friendly!“

“The food is great. Very well managed. I’ll definitely go back!“

“Best burger ever! Seriously. You order at the counter and they deliver to your table. You're off to a great start when they make a point of asking how you want your burger cooked. And it's seriously good. The pickle chips are delicious as well! If you're in Durham, do yourself a favor and grab a burger!“

“The Molletes was excellent! Great new brunch spot in Durham. Grapefruit mimosa is refreshing.“
