Chill and eclectic inside, this is a nice place to grab a beer and snack. Ash was very friendly and a quick server. I ordered the Double Opacity, it was tasty. They have lots of themed nights and events, will have to come back and check some of them out -
This is a beautiful cozy place to hang out. They have indoor and outdoor sitting.
The bartender was so sweet and always smiling and very helpful.
We went to a nearby brewery with out own food only to find out they dont allow outside food. So we moved here.
I have been to the rtp one too and both are beautiful locations and very friendly staff. -
The Glass Jug was wonderful! We hosted a wedding welcome there and they were beyond accommodating. The drinks were great and service was amazing. Cara and Ash took such good care of us and I can’t thank them enough.

Service here was excellent. The bartender was friendly and knowledgeable. She was able to balance chit chat and recommendations with serving the rest of the customers. I had the “hunting wabbits” spiced Belgian dubbel. Very unique lightly spiced dubble that was delicious. Will be coming back

I came here for a drag show, which was 40 minutes late, stood in line for food and drinks which the staff first was extremely rude, when reading from their menu and requesting cheermos we were told they are not mozzarella sticks they’re cheese balls and when asking for what is onion rings on their menu we were told we don’t have onion rings we have Funyuns there’s a microwave behind you you can heat something up. I would not recommend coming here at all.
