Great beer, great pizza, great atmosphere. My boyfriend is an IPA guy and he had 2 amazing IPAs. I love sours and the beer I got was 10/10. There’s something for everyone here! I’ve had a lot of pizza at breweries but this pizza really takes the cake. So good we went twice in one week!

Love this place! We often come here with our teens for pizza on a Friday night and sit upstairs. They love the pizza and garlic knots. For dessert, they get Swedish fish in a small cup from the bar. The vibe is especially great with all of the Xmas lights up in the area.

I’ve been to the iron works location, this was my first time in the Durham area. Pizza was delicious! Beer is always cold and good. Lots of out door seating!

If you’re looking for a spot that perfectly balances a relaxed atmosphere with high-quality craft, Ponysaurus Brewing Co. is a must-visit. Whether you’re a local or just passing through, this brewery offers one of the best outdoor experiences in the area.
The Atmosphere
The vibe here is unbeatable. The spacious, multi-level patio and grassy lawn make it the ideal place to settle in at a wooden picnic table for a long afternoon. It’s got that quintessential "neighborhood backyard" feel—unpretentious, communal, and incredibly welcoming.
The Beer
The taproom features a fantastic range of styles. If you can’t decide, the flight is definitely the way to go—the presentation on the wooden paddles is great, and it's a perfect way to sample everything from their crisp pilsners to their robust stouts. The quality across the board is consistently impressive; you can tell they take the "European-style" influence seriously while keeping things modern.
The Food: Pizza & More
You can't talk about Ponysaurus without mentioning the pizza. The thin, crispy crust and fresh toppings are the perfect companion to a cold pint. There’s something about a wood-fired slice and a hoppy IPA that just feels right in this setting.
Final Verdict
Ponysaurus is more than just a brewery; it’s a community staple. It’s the kind of place where the beer is sophisticated, but you can still kick back in a hoodie and stay for hours.
And yes Most important, it's DOG friendly! -
Sean is great if you come on Wednesday for music bingo. Their pizza is wonderful. The beer is very unique and extremely tasty, possibly the best brewery I've been to... Which was totally random! Dog friendly as well
I will definitely be back!
