Great selection of beer on tap, and one of the best seating situations of any brewery I’ve been to. Loved the shuffleboard and ping pong tables set up. Lots of cute merch as well. Definitely worth visiting!

Considering this is a brewery, I struggle. I like to go to a brewery and chill out and have a nice brew, maybe two. I went with a friend and we were inundated with children, over and over and over, children wanting to pet the dog. This is not a super friendly dog that looks for people to pet it, it was hiding under the table, hardly visible. I don't know how you fit that many children in a brewery?! Do they have some kind of kids discount on beer? Children drink free?! 😂 I hope not. I mean, I like kids... and dogs, but there were all these kids and few parents supervising.
Without the excessive amount of children, this would have been a delightful place. It is set up really nice, big and open; It had a big nice patio. Really quite delightful... and the beer was good. Considering, I even felt the price was fair and the service was good.
Friday at 6:00 p.m. was it just the wrong time?

I loved the whole vibe of this place. The atmosphere was awesome, just like the selection of beer. There were even a lot of choices to sit and being right next to a pizza place and an ice cream place were definitely pluses. So many people were ordering pizzas right next to us, and it smelled delicious. The bartenders were very friendly and knowledgeable. I absolutely will be back!

I enjoyed the spacious room, the trivia seemed cool and interesting and the beers we tried were pretty tasty. However, as far as selection goes, it is a bit lacking in variance. They lack in the darker beers, with no porters or stouts and only one decent brown ale.

[went on Monday: $7 liter drafts!!] Me & my girlfriend had such an amazing time here!
I’ve been looking around Durham to find a brewery with multiple-fun indoor/outdoor games, I finally found it: a 8/9-ft shuffleboard, MULTIPLE corn hole boards, & 2 ping pong tables (my girlfriend whooped me…).
Outside of the friendly bartenders, their in-house craft beers were solid, there were plenty of tables to sit at, & the parking was both plentiful & easy.
We had the ‘Pink Lemonade’ sour beer, which was okay. I really enjoyed their ‘Double Hazy IPA’! It was smooth & not overly bitter from the get-go, with a sweet finish.

Great beer and amusing times surrounded by interesting people. You'll never know what you'll walk into, but the charm and the great staff are a constant you can hold on to. I've long lost count of the liters I've had here, but I doubt I'm close to done.

Many taps and styles to fit any taste. NA options available:)
Comfortable inside and outside areas. Good food next door (try the pizza)

We visited from out of town and this place was just a gem!! I did yoga in the morning and actually brought my family back later that evening to hang out! Zane behind the bar was so personable and gave great service! Highly recommend!

Absolutely love this place. I come to Durham every month or so for work and a colleague recommended Hi Wire. Great chill environment and all the staff have been great, especially the girl bartender? Think her name was Dani maybe? Either way, I look forward to coming back and am hoping to catch the morning Yoga soon!

Had the pleasure of visiting this brewery when I was visiting Durham. Had a great experience. Very cool atmosphere and great people working there. Everyone I spoke with was friendly and Danni was especially helpful! Will be on my list of things to do next time I'm in Durham again!

Expansive collection including some guest taps also. Dog friendly inside and outside with games. Couple of places to grab a bite to eat right next door along with ice cream across the quad.

HI-WIRE BREWING
5 OUT OF 5 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟

I'm declaring this summer, the summer for Brews and sunshine. Seriously, y'all. I'm enjoying patio and beer season. I visited Hi-Wire Brewing this past week and fell in love quickly with the Pink Lemonade Sour Beer. It was light, refreshing and had just the right amount of bite to it. We played corn hole, I met some new friends and went somewhere new for the first time. I'll definitely be back!

5 stars mainly for the huge space that can easily accommodate large groups and the fact that you can order food from next door and they will deliver it to your table at Hi Wire (both the pizza place and J Lights are pretty good). The beer is decent.
