Southern Peak Brewery Brewery • $$
950 Windy Rd STE 100, Apex

“Despite being sandwiched between a neighborhood and a highway, Southern Peak feels secluded and relaxing--a Brigadoon with beer. The beer selection is excellent without being pretentious, the atmosphere is fun and casual. No restaurant on site, but judging from our one night there, they partner up with outstanding food trucks. They've clearly put a lot of thought into crafting the ambiance, not just the beer.“

Vicious Fishes Brewery Brewery • $$
2237 Old US 1 Hwy, Apex

“Great selection of beers and good food truck rotation. I try to stop in at least once a week for the NC Burger truck and a beer or 2. Aside from the selection, the staff is very friendly and attentive. This is one of the last stands of places that don't try to make beer a political statement, while keeping beer as a common interest, as it should be. I appreciate the simplicity of this place and how they do all the necessary things correctly. They serve coffee for a period of time and that is also very good. If you want a relaxed social atmosphere with beer, coffee, and/or food possibilities, this is a good one!“

“This place really hit the spot tonight! Great food and beer! Ezekiel and his staff were very friendly and didn’t mind letting us sample several of their in house made beers. Ezekiel even gave us a tour of the top floor or the restaurant even though it was closed for tonight since we stopped in late on a Tuesday. I will definitely recommend friends and family and will stop back by when I’m in the area again!“

“What a phenomenal place, super friendly environment, great ownership and I’m just in awe for this business, because it screams WELCOME FAMILY YOU ARE HOME. Such a great variety of drinks to choose from but to me what stuck out the most was the hard seltzer flavor selections and kombucha to come!!!!! WILL BE BACK AGAIN“

“I am a bit bias but house of hops is amazing. My neighbor owns it and as a result we're always heading over when we need to stock up on beer. Doesn't matter if it's just a six pack for ourselves or more for a party Keith always has what we're in the mood for. I love this og location and there are a rotating selection f food trucks weekly as well. Highly recommend if you haven't already checked out house of hops!“

Not Everything Has to Be an IPA

“I've been to Bond Brothers a few times to enjoy their diverse brew selection. Sitting outside when the weather is nice is one of my favorite parts about this spot. I also have been trying to go more on nights that they host The Naked Empanada food truck because it is my all-time favorite food truck. The food truck selection rotates but are always great“

Raleigh Brewing at the Arboretum Brewery • $
2036 Renaissance Park Pl, Cary - 7.87 miles

“Been here a handful of times for trivia on Tuesdays and always have a fabulous time! You can’t go wrong with their IPAs or a classic Hell Yes Maam. Bartenders are always super friendly and laid back. Personally, I think they have the most well-rounded trivia of anyone in the area too (always a good mix and great for groups of mixed company or ages). All the food from the Chelsea Cafe that I’ve tried has been super tasty too! Overall a great spot.“

Local Time Brewing Brewery • $$
300 S Main St Ste 204, Holly Springs - 5.91 miles

“Love LOVE local time! They should have put more of their brewing space in a cheaper building/remote location and expanded the seating footprint + a better side patio (vs mulch). Love the atmosphere though and so happy for Holly springs! Thanks Local time!!“

The Mason Jar Lager Company Brewery • $
341 Broad St STE 151, Fuquay-Varina - 9.98 miles

“Nice place to go spend time with friends and have a drink. Unfortunately they didn't have the beer I really wanted to try but the one i got instead was really good still. The atmosphere is where this one really shines. Huge outdoor seating with fire pits and covered area with picnic benches makes this place a great spot to relax and enjoy a drink or two. Would definitely go back to try other beers.“

“Great place for beer with friends. The common area was super kid and dog friendly, if you're into that. Beer was about $7 a pint, ton's of space. They also had a wide selection of ciders, sours, & even mixed drink. It was my favorite of the two places.Parking was terrible, tho, tons of people, and literally nowhere to park“

Fortnight Brewing Company Brewery • $
1006 SW Maynard Rd, Cary - 4.06 miles

“Such a cool spot here in Cary NC. Walked in not knowing what to expect, but I rarely pass up the chance to stop at a local brewery. Fortnight has a ton of space, lots of outdoor seating and had music bingo going on tonight that provided a great vibe and energy. Beer was solid, as I had their flagship IPA Blank Coast. Bonus tip- there is a disc golf course in the parking area that is wooded and looks super cool. We didn't play because it was closed by the time we got here. Check this place out if you are in the area.“

NICE BAR and plenty of seating plus a separate room for a private party or meeting. Lots of food places in the plaza so you can bring food in or get it deliver.ed.“

Cotton House Craft Brewers Brewery • $

“It's about time I upgrade this review to 5 stars. Cotton House has always been my favorite place to grab a beer in Cary, and nothing has changed about that. The vibe is absolutely phenomenal, the beers are all top notch, and the staff who work here are always pleasant. Plus, they often times have food trucks! Just check out their website and you can find out what food truck will be there on any given day. All in all, you won't be disappointed with a visit to Cotton House!“

“Went there for lunch on a Saturday. Parking in downtown Fuquay-Varina can be a challenge, but the pizzas are so worth it. The pizzas are brick oven cooked, the crust is crispy but not too thin, and the sauce is perfect, not too acidic or too sweet. The prices are just right as well. Sure, Dominoes is cheaper in price, but nowhere near as good.“
