7 Best Craft Breweries near Chapel Hill

“Everyone must try Carly's amazing shrubs and kombucha! She gets the freshest ingredients from local, NC farms that make for the healthiest, most delicious drinks around. Since she shops local, you get an amazing variety of seasonal flavors depending on what farmers are growing. And she's so creative! My personal favorite shrub mix so far was the fall-time Persimmon shrub (great mixed with either sparkling wine or sparkling water). I can't wait to see what she's offering next! <3“

“We had an excellent time here! Booked a reservation for a party of four and were immediately seated. Highly recommend starting with the pull-apart rolls, they were SO delicious! Ordered the NY strip steak with the brussel sprout risotto and it was fabulous. Prices here are also very fair given the location (Chapel Hill can be pretty pricey), I'd highly recommend this restaurant!“

“I’ve been to Gizmo several times before - it’s your standard brewery as any other. It’s got a nice layout inside. The location is also nice. The bartender was quick to take our order and provide us suggestions- they seemed knowledgeable about their beers. I had one of their stouts that was seasonal and it was nice.“

“Have driven by so many times and finally experienced the outdoor dining last night on a beautiful evening. The food was delicious (even thought they had run out of the rice and beans we were excited to try - just a great reason to go back!) Loved the drinks we tried, and we even splurged with some ice cream at the end. Service was fast and friendly. Now we just wish we had gone sooner!!“

“We stopped at the Flying Bull after the Duke game. They have a really cozy outdoor dining/lounge area with fire pits at each table, which is where we sat.Everything we had was delicious…..roasted cauliflower, wings, salad, and wine. Service was spot on as well. We also heard the couple behind us commenting on how amazing the food was. We will definitely be back!!“

“Loved Latin dance night, super inviting crowd and organizers. Thanks to Florence for getting this solo rider on the dance floor for a couple hours. Eventually everyone was dancing. Music was authentic mixed with some club tunes. I enjoyed myself and made new friends. Very open and welcoming group. Look forward to the next time. Got a stout which was quite sweet for my preference ($8).“

“This is a great indoor-outdoor pub with plenty of room. The three of us ordered the crispy chicken sandwich which was fantastic! They’re not kidding when they say crispy! We also enjoyed some unique seltzer water combos… mine was vanilla and lavender, the other was black Cherry and basil.“
