“great place to grab some great brews and they host amazing food trucks and have live music, trivia nights & music bingo. Great place to bring the family also.. the bartenders are always nice, they treat you like family. we've worked with them for years and they're one of the best breweries around.“

“Great spot for families and dogs! Our kids had a blast in the green space, comfortable for our dog, tons of seating area options, inside has a lot of space as well and is dog-friendly. A great selection of beers, something for everyone and a nice perk having Wilson’s Eatery next door!“

“The beer variety and quality is some of the best the Triangle has to offer, from high abv barrel aged stouts to dank IPAs to tasty lighter offerings. The staff has always been super friendly and helpful when you have questions. Also I was surprised at how good the cocktails are when you want a change from beer! We've done trivia a couple of times and had fun, and definitely need to come back for more. And it looks like they're trying to add more events with more themes like a Goth Night, which is really cool. Keep it up!“

“One of my favorites after visiting the farmers market. Always a food truck available for snacking. An abundance of outdoor seating too! Trophy Wife and Husband are a great brew! Enjoy!“

“It was my first time visiting and I had a great experience. I got the pasta and my son got the smash burger and everything came out great. Our server was Sakiyah and she gave us the best menu recommendations. She was very helpful and attentive, and we will definitely be back!“

“We celebrated Mother’s Day at Neuse River Brewing and it was amazing. I can’t say enough about the food - the quality, presentation, and those flavors!!! Oh my!!! The atmosphere, food, everything was spectacular. We will definitely be back. Thank you for making my day special!!“

“Beer is awesome. I had the Coffee Porter, son had a sour (not my cup, but he loved it)... HOWEVER, I ordered an old fashioned after (at a brewery) and it was great...I'd order another. Wonderful venue, wonderful time! Highly recommend.“

“Exceptional place. Great food, and very nice people. The Lemon Shandy was my favorite beer they make, but I also liked their Sours. I recommend the Margharita pie with Pepperoni. The location is great because it feels safe and parking is free in the garage. There is also a great ice cream place across the walkway and some other nice amenities.“

“A Friday night for 2, served by Kait (who also drew the illustrations on the menu!) - friendly service, great recommendations, and really yummy food! The Brussel Sprouts are delicious, the Strawberry salad is yummy, and both chicken wing option are a win! Will be back!“

“Local brewery with great beer and an awesome taproom. The House of Clay IPA is one of my favorite local IPAs — hoppy and balanced. The Hell Yes Ma'am is a perfect easy-drinking golden ale. The taproom has a laid-back vibe with board games and food truck options. Regular events keep things lively. The staff is friendly and passionate about their beer. A Raleigh staple that's earned its reputation through quality.“

“Great beer and even better vibes. Super cool collection of regulars always down for a fun conversation and very friend bartenders. Solid selection of drinks both on tap and in the fridge. I’ll definitely be making this a regular Raleigh stop in the future!“

“Our first time here. The beer we had was great & the food was delicious. Bar type food but so many options. We’ll be back!“

“Great food, pizza and atmosphere! Friendly staff and just a fun place to go with friends for great food!“
