Eggplant & noodle dish was delicious. Blackened chicken sandwich and trout dip were fantastic. Great beer. Enjoyable music. Nice vibe.

After hearing many glowing reviews, I was utterly disappointed. There are many better places within a 30 minute drive.

Food was okay but not something I would recommend. We had a burger, chicken and Grits & wings. Nothing special about any of these dishes. The burger was odd, it had cucumber and some sort of bacon. Strange combination. Chicken and grits was okay. Wings were probably the best thing but nothing crazy.

If you’re local stop and check it out. But don’t drive out of your way to visit.

The ales were great here however when I ordered a single thing of wings I waited 2.5 hours and they were about to close at this point so I left

They don't have a large menu but what they do have is very good. The restaurant itself is very inviting. The staff are very friendly and helpful.

First and only time there we ordered cheese burgers and they were not safe to eat. They were undercooked and I didn’t realize until I began eating. I took the food to the cashier to show her and she seemed unbothered and didn’t offer to refund after seeing I took only a few bites and seeing how undercooked it was. I left the food with her and we left. I was sick not long after. Horrible experience will not be back.

Dropped into Clinch River Brewing on a packed evening and was blown away by how efficiently everything moved. Despite the full house, we grabbed seats fast, and our beers and food arrived quickly—top-notch service for a busy night.
The beer lineup was exceptional. Every pint was fresh, full of flavor, and poured to perfection. The food held its own: hearty, well-seasoned, and clearly crafted with care. Not a single bite or sip disappointed.
Would I recommend it? 100%. If you’re after great beer and solid food in a lively vibe, Clinch River Brewing is a must-visit. Already planning my next trip back!

A hidden gem along the Clinch River! The setting is beautiful and peaceful, with a warm and welcoming vibe. The staff were outstanding — I spoke with a young man about kayaking the river, and he was incredibly helpful and polite. The koi pond and outdoor seating add to the charm of this great spot. Great beer!

They banned my cousin, publicly, without rational cause. She wasn’t intoxicated (of course not, right, because CRB would never over-serve). Wasn’t being obnoxious. Had been a longtime patron and a staunch supporter. But, allegedly, she had - despite every indication to the contrary - slighted CRB on Facebook (and then continued attending trivia and coming to birthday parties, because that makes sense). And, thus: she was banned, in front of her friends and family, due to a complete misunderstanding that they refuse to revoke. Bullying at its finest, and using one’s power to harm others. Bad vibes. Bad karma. Bad community members. There are other places to support local establishments.
