Blackbird Brewery

places/ChIJOdFfyYVRrIkR8JpUBIavt44/reviews/ChZDSUhNMG9nS0VJQ0FnTURvLWNmSWJnEAE

I’ve been here quite a bit over the last couple of years and can’t believe I haven’t posted a review. Simply put this is one of the very best breweries in the central NC area. The brewer is extremely knowledgeable and understands a wide variety of styles. They make the popular styles but they also make lagers, European ales, and more. Great ambiance, great outdoor space, amazing staff - friendly and know the products. Food is nearby. The kids can be a bit much but the brewery does a good job of reminding parents to be responsible. They recently opened a cocktail bar next door in the same building and sadly due to how they originally built there’s no inside connection. The overly controlling ABC doesn’t allow you to bring beer or cocktails along the sidewalk between the two - absurd but NOT their fault. Check this place out and thank me later.

Hosted a baby shower yesterday. Harmony and Mindy were amazing. The place is a perfect mix of open space and decore that provide a peaceful welcoming atmosphere. Thanks for opening your bar for us!! So glad we found you!!!

Great place for a beer.  Really nice outdoor area.  Brewery is on site. Pleanty of food from surrounding businesses.

First time at this brewery last night Feb, 22nd, and I was really impressed with the beer!

Good atmosphere and a nice outdoor area.

If you like good beer, you need to try this place.  The yellow submarine Hazy IPA was delicious!

places/ChIJOdFfyYVRrIkR8JpUBIavt44/reviews/ChdDSUhNMG9nS0VMcTRuZVg4eHFxYjRRRRAB

This brewery offers some of the best beer I have ever tasted. Each one gives off such a unique and exquisite taste, it will make you want to try the entire menu! They offer both indoor and outdoor seating, with the outdoor area featuring covered tables with additional courtyard-style seating. Staff is excellent and friendly and the whole place gives off the perfect vibe! Highly recommend!

Oak City Brewing Company

If you are in the area or just want to try a good atmosphere, go there. Oak City Brewery is a really nice little place. They have a large selection of beers of all kinds for all tastes and likes. They normally have s good truck on the back of the business and they are also quite good. Very family friendly most of the times I been there is a lot of families with kids of all ages they have a big open area for the kids to run around and they have tables for you to sit. Overall every time I go here is a really good experience, staff is super friendly. Now heads up, if it's busy you more likely will have to wait s bit for your beer but the line moves fast, so just wait. Highly Recommend it! 🔥🔥🔥

Great space and they actually have some decent gluten free options, plus food trucks on a regular basis.

It looks like they have at least 2 gluten reduced options now, plus cider, seltzer and wine. The outdoor seating area is nice and large. Really wish there was a specific section for those smoking though since it ruins it for the rest of us that don't smoke or care to smell it.

places/ChIJkUPil6pcrIkRVBykM6ZkfF0/reviews/ChZDSUhNMG9nS0VJQ0FnTUN3MC1xS0F3EAE

I stopped by for a good brewski and tbh I’ve been here plenty of times before yesterday and the service sucked. It doesn’t seem anywhere near the southern hospitality. I didn’t care for the attendant but the beer was great. I’m giving a 3 so to the service I received. Your place may have great choices in beer and wines but when the service sucks it also affects your business. Plus the hours are in correct. Thursdays went by and they were closed on Thursday way before the closing time!

places/ChIJkUPil6pcrIkRVBykM6ZkfF0/reviews/ChdDSUhNMG9nS0VMZUNyLXVXLVlmODNBRRAB

I've had the pleasure of bartending here for the past few months and it's been, hands down, one of the best jobs I've ever had. Management is excellent, personable in a real (not "we're family") way, and organized (I got my schedules a month ahead of time!!!); the rest of the staff is also awesome and gregarious; regulars are amicable and always a good time. Just the sweetest place, y'all.

Never a problem here. Dog and kiddo friendly, located right next to the park. Always holding cool events and the food trucks bring the sweetest of people (shout out to Berto's Chimis!) with a good variety of foods throughout the week. Check out the Markets happening during the warmer weather seasons, or cozy up inside the refurbished house-turned-bar and try out the new house brews.

Great for hosting events, parties, etc. Check it out. It's a real gem right here in Knightdale.

(Love and miss you guys already!)

I knew I found something special. That was the first thought I had once we found Oak City Brewing. This local spot is in Knightdale, which is about 20 minutes from downtown Raleigh and 20 minutes from my house in Wake Forest. It's located in a 1920s renovated bungalow in the historic district of Knightdale. But the best part is that it essentially is a giant park. They have a great outdoor beer garden with tables, lights, a sweet pergola and lots of open space. They are super family, kid and pet friendly. Every time we go we usually spend our time playing soccer, frisbee or spikeball will having some great beers. They have a small brewery on site, but also have a great selection of other craft beers, wine, cider and of course juice boxes for the kids. They usually have a food truck on site and if you go on the weekends you'll probably see an ice cream truck parked beside the Knightdale Station Playground, which is a massive and awesome playground directly adjacent to the beer garden. Like I said I knew I found something special when we first went there and it is defenitly in our rotation of favorite places. Support Local and head over the Oak City Brewing…we might see you there!

Funguys Brewing

Technically it's funguys and fungals. The beers were so good we stopped by twice. Many different styles to enjoy, the smoothie sours are the stars of the show. But everything is really good. Got to hang out with one of the owners in our second visit. She's on the wagon, currently Drinking for Two... the great new hazy.

places/ChIJiUHY2s1YrIkRGV9ToVywMi0/reviews/Ci9DQUlRQUNvZENodHljRjlvT25ScFUzRTJhVVV4Y1dzM2JWZE1OM05PTURKSVdGRRAB

Hidden gem brewery in Raleigh! They have some unique brews to try that are unlike any other brewery around. We tried the shakes, which were like if chocolate milk had alcohol in it - absolutely wild but good! Also tried a more traditional sour ipa, which was like if oj and beer an ipa were mixed as well as a sour smoothie beer, which was very thick but tasty. The taproom itself is small and pretty barren and sterile feeling aside from the 3 pinball machines, but that's the only real downside. It's worth it to visit to try some of their unusual concoctions!

places/ChIJiUHY2s1YrIkRGV9ToVywMi0/reviews/ChZDSUhNMG9nS0VJQ0FnTURJcXNxNEl3EAE

Great beer, especially the smoothie sours. It's a cool little spot with wonderful service. A few arcade games are available as well.

Funguys Brewery is truly a hidden gem! Their Layered Hazy IPA is absolutely delicious, with perfectly balanced flavors and a smooth, refreshing finish. The brewery's location adds to its charm, offering a cozy and welcoming atmosphere that feels like a well-kept secret. If you're a craft beer enthusiast, this place is a must-visit. Highly recommend!

places/ChIJiUHY2s1YrIkRGV9ToVywMi0/reviews/ChdDSUhNMG9nS0VJQ0FnSUN1X0xDTXNBRRAB

The 2 sours we had were good. I edited my original review bc I didn’t see the ounces of drinks on the menu: The size of the can pours of sours seem a bit small, didn’t seem like 12oz. But what do I know. The establishment doesn’t have air conditioning ? It’s 97 out, come on. I wanted to try some IPAs but I was literally sweating drinking my first sour and just couldn’t take it anymore.

Incendiary Brewing Co

places/ChIJ7ci6TD5frIkRGN8-1R5r_KQ/reviews/ChdDSUhNMG9nS0VKall5SnZ3d0xlcjJBRRAB

We stopped by for a quick drink and they have many unique brews! They also have a non alcoholic beer which was pretty good. The only complaint I had was that the bartender didn’t seem happy we showed up 20 minutes before close because he had to make an appoint to tell us that he was going to call last call and he wasn’t really kind about it. We were fine because we just wanted one beer. The mural of the moth on the wall was pretty amazing! It was nice and open!

places/ChIJ7ci6TD5frIkRGN8-1R5r_KQ/reviews/ChdDSUhNMG9nS0VJQ0FnSURUNE5lYl9BRRAB

Really cool little spot right in the heart of downtown, but with easier parking available. Love the set up and design of this place. Great outdoor seating, as well as plenty inside. Love the inlaid bartop, especially at night because the inlay lit up. Really cool!

My husband loved his beer. My wine was pretty decent. But only wine and cider as their gluten free and/or deglutenized offerings. If they had even one or 2 beers as an option for me also, I would've given them 5 stars.

The staff at Incendiary Raleigh are super helpful and kind - I'm very picky with porters and stouts and they always have the best ones! (Truly!). Love the atmosphere as well, warm and welcoming with a small layer of spookiness

Everything from Service to the drinks were amazing! The bartenders were great, personable and made a great Old Fashion in a place that has beers! The beers were also amazing! The atmosphere was great along with a great looking place that has a flow that just works!

We used the upstairs event area for my husband's 50th birthday party and it was a great space with plenty of tables and chairs and small table lamps also.  I really liked how the tables were already wrapped with black tablecloths.  The staff were most helpful in getting the area ready and even providing a speaker for the music.  The bartender and manager were great and so kind to our guests.  The caterer was great to work with and the food was amazing.  We had many compliments about how good the food was from our guests!  Overall, I recommend this as a nice venue for events and parties.  The pricing was great too!

So happy this place became another brewery.

Service was great! Bartenders were both very attentive and friendly.  Beer was tasty and food options were wonderful.  Easy ordering from your phone for food.

Great indoor and outdoor seating.

Will be back!

If you went to double barley before the Parking area has changed as well as the roads to the entrance.

I used Raleigh Brewing JoCo’s event space for my baby shower and I cannot recommend them enough!!! The food was amazing and the staff was so welcome and accommodating. Everyone went above and beyond to make our day special and our guests were also very impressed. We had about 60 people and there was plenty of space for everyone, plus the bar downstairs made a perfect escape for the guys so that we were able to do a co-ed shower that everyone enjoyed!

Dog friendly, friendly staff, and the ambiance is welcoming. Outdoor fire pits, great sound system with good music (found a new favorite song there Take a Breath)
Directions will take you the long way around. There is a better route by taking Wilson Mills.

Gizmo Brew Works - Brewery & Taproom

places/ChIJeZEEZlL3rIkReqKDaFnZAI8/reviews/ChZDSUhNMG9nS0VJQ0FnTURncGEySGFBEAE

Cool place but the one sour they had on tap (plum flavored) was the sourest beer I have ever had and was almost undrinkable. The flavor was fantastic but it was so sour that after a few sips my tongue started to go numb. I love sour beers and this one had potential, but once again was a little over the top—imagine if sour skittles & warheads made a drink…it was that level😂

Friendly staff and welcoming environment. Very dog and kid friendly. Bingo tonight was a little disappointing (not a big fan of the group who ran it).

Would come back if they added more sours to the menu and had food options.

We were here on Friday evening with my husband. We took a flight to try different types of beer. In the end we liked only one type. The prices are good, not expensive. The staff was reserved and not emotional. We sat outside because the weather was nice, there was live music, a girl sang on the guitar, families and couples also enjoyed the evening. there was a food truck on the territory, but we did not buy food. This brewery is located in an industrial area, at first it confused me a little but I recommend!

I visited today for a Pilates & Yoga event that my gym Sk1ll has here weekly. Gizmo is located not far off Glenwood/70 in the Umstead industrial area. Easy parking, dog friendly and a nice relaxing environment. Ben was very helpful and a nice guy. I sampled a THC Beer called Delta Quench. I enjoy edibles on rare occasions, so this was something new for me to try for relaxation purposes. Very refreshing ! I also had the Ginger Beekeeper. Very light and deliciously refreshing after an intense Pilates/Yoga class. I plan to return and bring my dog to enjoy the patio and other new brews.

We visited last night for a few beers and loved the setup! It isn't far from RDU so you do get to see planes as they prepare for landing! The brewery is tucked away and is in a nice area. It is very easy to find with ample parking. They have plenty of outdoor seating as well as indoor seating near the bar.

The staff was friendly and would let you sample beers before you picked what you wanted. They also have non-alcoholic drinks for sale. Overall, it is a wonderful place to come and hang out while enjoying a craft beer!

Lynnwood Brewing Concern

This is one of my favorite breweries. The outdoor space is amazing! So much space and so many tables. I love to spend a Sunday here when the weather is nice. Lots of selection and you can easily order food from Wilson’s next door. We haven’t had trouble parking in the lot and verifying it once you’re inside.

A very good burger, a short walk across the parking lot.  Also, next door is a lightly stocked bar for other alcoholic and non alcoholic beverages. Service was caring and precise.

Visited here on a week night. The bar tenders were friendly and helpful. Service was fast. They have a good selection of different styles of beer. The beers I tried were good, some very good. They have a nice location with indoor and outdoor areas. Definitely recommend this place if your looking for a place, with good beer, to relax.

Trophy Brewing & Taproom

places/ChIJ2-kMiX31rIkRQPs57YXjEhU/reviews/Ci9DQUlRQUNvZENodHljRjlvT21SaFdWQnhjbGR0TkVOclEyWlNkVTgyZWxGcWFtYxAB

Our experience started off fine, we were told the only available seating was outside, and that was totally okay with us. We were seated at a table with no cover, which again, no big deal… even though there were multiple covered tables nearby marked “reserved.”

Right as our pizza arrived, it started to lightly rain, still no issue. I asked what happens if it starts raining harder, and was told, and I quote, “I don’t know, we don’t have any space inside… I guess we can bring you a box quickly.”

At this point, I was mildly annoyed but still willing to roll with it. We asked for the check and a box. Then we watched the two white couples seated at the other uncovered tables get told that actually, there were open tables inside and they could move in if it started raining.

So, let me get this straight: they get offered cover, and we’re told to basically deal with soggy pizza or leave. To make things even better all the “reserved” tables were empty the entire time we were there.

So If you enjoy overpaying for pizza while being treated like an afterthought based on your skin color, this place has you covered. Otherwise, there are plenty of restaurants that won’t make you feel unwelcome just for existing.

Their beers were excellent, and I really enjoyed the taproom area – it's small but very comfortable, and the outdoor seating is a great bonus. The staff was incredibly friendly and helpful, and I especially appreciated that they are dog-friendly, which is a must for us. Plus, having a food truck regularly is a nice touch.

I'm already looking forward to my next trip to Raleigh so I can visit again!

Lonerider Brewing Company

Well it seems that they have improved the staff in the meantime the bad review. The bartender offered kindly some samples to taste. Limited choices of beers but good quality. Plus they have a selection of cigars too for the ones that like to smoke one outside.

The best brewery tour I have ever been on was here but it has since moved to a new location. The tour guide even looked a little like the Lonerider logo! Was very educational about every step of the process and explained how each machine worked. The free samples were an added bonus! Sweet Josie Brown Ale is one of my favorite beers.

Great brewery filled with great beers. Shotgun Betty and Sweet Josie are some good picks. Dog friendly and large outdoor seating for when the weather is nice. About seven tables inside along with bar seating when it’s raining or cold. If you enjoy board games they have a couple dozen around the bar for folks to borrow.

places/ChIJqcv3jabwrIkR5FF_YVkDfBU/reviews/ChZDSUhNMG9nS0VJQ0FnTUR3dFBiLU5BEAE

I’m posting this on behalf of my friend because his review was deleted—but I was there as well and can confirm our experience. We visited Lonerider Brewery on March 22, 2025, at 6 PM, and the service was terrible. The lady at the counter was extremely rude, which really put a damper on our visit. Despite that, I still left a tip just to avoid making my night worse.

The place was empty, and the beer selection was very limited. In the service industry, a good bartender is crucial to the experience, and unfortunately, this place failed in that regard. There are plenty of better breweries out there with both great beer and great service. I wouldn’t recommend this one.

Clouds Brewing Tap Room is an amazing space for any event. Great staff, stellar communication and organization, very accommodating, and most of all welcoming! With multiple rooms and a huge outdoor space this venue has all you need for a successful party.

Francis was amazingly accommodating to whatever we wanted to have in the space and dropped everything to help us with what we needed the week leading up. Quick and detailed communication from them, which made the process smooth and easy.

The stage was a nice surprise that came in handy for speeches and our free raffle, the tables inside allowed everyone to spread out but still be connected, the outdoor space was a great addition to our summer kick off, and our guests loved the huge list of beers, ciders, and wine. Another big plus was the ample amount of parking. Very hard to find a venue with not only free but enough parking to accommodate large groups in Raleigh--Clouds has it!

If you're looking to sit back and truly enjoy watching your event unfold, Clouds Brewing Tap Room is the place

I had less than 2 weeks to plan my moms surprise 70th birthday and was doing it living in another state. Clouds Brewing Tap Room popped up in my google search and we left a voicemail and email follow up asking if we could hold the event at their venue. We were looking for a more chill vibe and for a weekday late lunch. We knew we wanted to let my mom’s friends and old coworkers walk around and mingle. We got word the next day saying they could do it and ironed out all the other details quickly via text and email.

Francis - the manager we spoke to was so easy to talk to and quick to respond. Seriously, he made the entire process, that could have easily been super stressful, very smooth. He is also very nice and accommodating to a lot of our requests. He completely understood what we were going for. On the day of the event, he even had napkins for our event, which in all my planning somehow I forgot. He was also easy to get along with during the event. I definitely recommend the taproom for social events or private events.

This place also has great beers - I loved the lagers and the pilsners. We enjoyed the smell of hops as soon as we entered to start prepping. Michael - the brewer was so cool and so nice! He is onto something and can’t wait to come back and visit.

Definitely a great place to hang out with friends. It was even kid friendly as my 3 year old son and my nephews (3yo, 7yo) were able to be kids and had a little spot. There are tons of events on their page that look appealing to attend to also.

Definitely recommend!!!! 1000000/10

This is our favorite brewery in Raleigh! A hidden gem that is a hit for the entire family (even the four-legged members). Clouds Taproom has plenty of fun, family friendly events like their quarterly Family Day and New Year’s Eve Kids Ball Drop. They’ve hosted a friend's birthday party and even my son’s pre-school end-of-year party. The entire staff is welcoming and eager to know their patrons by name which is very refreshing. Clouds Taproom will always get our business over the other breweries in the area because of their tasty beer, free (and plentiful) parking, and space for our kids to play.  Keep up the good work, you guys!
