“I’ve been to Gizmo several times before - it’s your standard brewery as any other. It’s got a nice layout inside. The location is also nice. The bartender was quick to take our order and provide us suggestions- they seemed knowledgeable about their beers. I had one of their stouts that was seasonal and it was nice.“

“We just had a company event here on Saturday. The Clouds team was amazing as well as the food! They had great customer service and they were so accommodating and flexible. I've been working with Lexy Peterson to plan it. She and her GM were so easy and wonderful to work with! We had to make several changes, including last minute ones. It was a relief when they had no issues with accommodating our changes. I'm so thankful for the success of this event there! I know our company will be back for future events!“

“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!!“

“One of the best atmospheres in Durham. I moved here, did not know a soul, and have made some of the best friends I’ve ever had in my life thanks to this establishment. The staff is wonderful, and I always feel like I belong. They know a ton of the patrons by name making it a very comforting environment. The ciders are fantastic, and for those who aren’t as inclined to ciders, there are plenty of other drinks like pilsners, ipas and cocktails.“

They have a really cozy outdoor dining/lounge area with fire pits at each table, which is where we sat.Everything we had was delicious…..roasted cauliflower, wings, salad, and wine. Service was spot on as well. We also heard the couple behind us commenting on how amazing the food was. We will definitely be back!!“

The Glass Jug Beer Lab - RTP Brewery • $$
5410 NC-55 V, Durham

“Pleasant staff and very welcoming to all. The service is above and beyond here. I enjoyed the Ginger beer that's on tap. I appreciate being able to try the beer before I purchase. I came here on a Friday night for a free comedy show. The comedians Cabell and Tony were the funniest. I like that there was a food truck on site but I had food at home before arriving. The ambiance here was okay for a brewery space. The outdoor area was gravel and patio picnic tables which weren't the most comfortable but bearable for a free comedy experience.“
