Compass Rose Brewery

My husband and I are new to the area and came for a beer. Beertender was nice and beer was good but was not expecting all of the kids. They are running around like it’s a chuck-e-cheese. Throwing up the corn hole bags all over the place. We’d love to play darts and chills on a late Saturday afternoon but can’t because of all of the kids around. A little disappointed to say the least. I get family friendly but it’s hard to enjoy my beer with all the kids running around like it’s a playground. Wish they enforced their policy posted on the door. Beer was good.

Such wonderful beer...and ive had beer from 255 breweries at the time of this review!

Fantastic beer - the Czech yah later

What a neat little brewery!! A little off the beaten path, but so worth the venture. Also very dog friendly, which is awesome for anyone who doesn't wanna leave their furry friend in the car or at home. Their drinks were well made and well priced. I didn't try the food, but I'll be back for sure! Josh was very helpful in moving the line around the bar along and getting everyone their drinks in a timely fashion. Also, they do birthday parties! So much more than just a brewery

This place is 5500 square feet of fun. Truly something for everyone with a full bar. Games and food, too. Check it out!

A really cool spot to someone who is new to Raleigh! The manager came up and asked us how our drinks were and told us he made some of the best old fashions around-it did not disappoint at all.

Loved the spacious taproom and wide selection of beer. Would be the perfect space to have an event. Indoor and outdoor space available. Great selection of beer both their own and a few from other breweries. It is out of the way but most definitely worth the trip. Did not try the food but they have a newly opened kitchen

Saturday night Karaoke is my favorite!

Great space and beer. The kitchen is a miss... The food was better when they had rotating food trucks. Overall, worth a visit.

freaking awesome

The margarita flight was fantastic! Great food, great atmosphere, and a lovely staff!

Great atmosphere, very spacious. Solid beer selection and the food is great, staff couldn’t be more pleasant.

Excellent beer. Also offers cocktails and wine for non-beer drinkers. The food was so good.

First time visiting yesterday January 4, 2025. Walked in and the place was busy. I was shocked at the number of kids running around, not what I was expecting. The beer was really good and bartender was great. We had some appetizers from the grill and they were good, typical bar food. We didn’t stay long as it was not the atmosphere we were expecting. If you are looking for a relaxing spot to enjoy a beer, this is not it.

New to the area and this brewery is off the beaten path. Yet it truly isn’t off the beaten pass; it’s right next to a major interchange of 540 and Capital Boulevard (Rt 1.)
Imbibed in a tasty Long Island iced tea, and their kitchen “Nailed it” On a Lamb, gyro, This guy knows how to cook lamb!

Lots of big TVs lots of places to sit and eat and families are there up until 8 PM on Thursday Friday Saturday… Then there’s some fantastic karaoke or trivia nights or simply watching a football game!!
Enjoy! I know I did!!
