Cute, casual little spot. Despite the name, they have more than beer. Wine is also available and they have some liquor. Sometimes there’s a boozy slushie special …

Great local beer joint. I got a flight for 10.00. Had great entertainment in the park next door. The patio is great. 😊

Low key the most reliably delicious beers in durham. Never had a bad beer by them. They always have something interesting too (not just an IPA warehouse). What’s more impressive is that they keep this 5 star rating consistent while also changing up their menu regularly (unlike horse-dinosaur and others) Gotta love the view of the park as well. A+ brewery

Love this bar! Great drink selection, lovely bartenders, and a friendly neighborhood vibe. Also, it's very clean ✨ and usually there's plenty of parking nearby (in the parking lot by the farmer's market and side streets around it)

Bartenders were super friendly! Love the communal style tables! The drinks were sooooo good!! And if you are a sweet pretzel type of person I HIGHLY recommend! That was the softest warm hug of a pretzel ever!

This is a great hangout spot, for couples and friends. They have board games and a variety of on tap beers and cocktails! Yes, cocktails too. I had a great time and both my beer, and cocktail were delicious. The staff were also attentive and friendly. Will definitely be coming back with a crowd :)

Super friendly people, loved the ambiance, board games were fun! Drinks were very cool and weren’t just simple. They were complex and I tasted the thought they put into it!

I've never had a beer from Glass Jug that I didn't like! They also have draft cocktails now as well and they are amazing too. Their patio also has some of the best people watching in Durham and you can bring in food from the food hall.

We love Glassjug beers and would call ourselves frequent-ish visitors. Their Pi Goses are always the best. But tonight our customer service experience made me want to come back. Eliyah was incredible - made spot on recommendations, was kind, and overall provided a super welcoming experience.
