“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.“

“We stopped by for dinner and were pleasantly surprised by the ease of ordering. The QR system made it simple and straightforward. While drinks were taken by the server, the food and drinks were both delicious. Having a gluten-free option for pizza was excellent. The service was excellent, and we had a great time. Our party of seven comfortably fit into one booth.“

“Raleigh Brewing hosted our wedding reception in June and they were FANTASTIC to work with. Terrific beer, awesome staff, and super rad place to celebrate with your loved ones. Cat worked with us closely for weeks to plan every detail so that we could just enjoy the evening with our guests. Highly recommend booking them for your next event!“

“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!“

“I won't lie, the service was rough. My appetizer came out wrong twice and then the third time it came when everyone else had finished their apps and the entrees were coming out. Took us ages to get our bill and pay. And then I got home and my bill was wrong and I went back.

My entree was delicious. I'll try again soon. But this was a Wednesday night so shouldn't have been this difficult.“

“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!“
