    Such fun decorations in here.

    This brewery had an amazing theme and vibe along with delicious beer! We stopped by here on a Saturday to enjoy a beer in between some activities around town. The theming is so fun! I loved the room with all of the different kind of clocks. They had plenty of seating along with a really nice porch to enjoy the weather. The staff was super friendly and really helpful to our family since it was our first visit. I did the Movement Pilsner and it was really light and refreshing and came in a 20 ounce pour. The perfect afternoon beer! We will for sure be back on our next visit to NC.

    This is an order at the bar spot for both food & drink and they bring the food to your table. All of our food was really good! I had a taste of 1 beer that was good, but I wasn't up for drinking during this visit. It was a nice evening so we snagged one of the larger outside tables on the side. The tables also had heaters next to them, but we did not ne d the heater the night we came. Parking was super easy since they have a free lot right in front.

    Wanted to get out of the house and ended up at this brewery for a quick drink. Walked into a nice place with a casual vibe to it. The bartender was extra friendly, letting us try a few before we each settled on something quite tasty. Ordered a snack to go with the beer, which was spot on. The chef passed by and said hello, ending up chatting with a couple nearby. Overall, a good experience and will be back next time, we just need to get out the house.

    Great brewery we had no clue existed and glad we stumbled upon! They do events which was another nice touch and something I'm considering for a possible holiday party. It's a nice spot to hang out very welcoming as is the staff. We sat at the bar and spoke to the bartender the whole time we were there. The food is amazing! Met the chef, super humble guy and makes some delicious bites. We had the the beers were also good choices and appreciated she gave me a few to try before I landed on something I liked

    What a fantastic brewery. Went last night with my sister and parents and had a great experience. I enjoyed the jalapeño infused beer, on the menu as the Maxwells Demon. It was light crisp and the perfect level of spice. Also got a shirt and a pint glass to take home, as all merchandise was 20% off on Saturdays. Next time I am in Durham, I'll be back.

    Had a few afternoon beers at ACB the other day, cool spot. Sat at the bar and the service was quick; it was early afternoon so not busy at all. The inside is an old refurbished industrial spot, I kept wondering what did they used to make here 80+ years ago... they did a great job keeping the old feel to the inside. There's antique clocks decorating the interior and I noticed they were all set to (stopped at) different times, which gave me a laugh. I shared a pic of the food menu [which looks good], but didn't give the kitchen a try - next time :)

    Atomic clock was super fun! The layout of the place was cool and the merch was great. We were able to try several beers, and loved the two we settled on. The bartenders were very knowledgeable and kind, and we will definitely be back, but next time to try some food!

    This was a fun spot to grab drinks with a buddy. They had a pretty good selection of beers on draft.

    Corn ribs and light beer 5 oz pours

    Great brews and food. The fish sandwich and fries were amazing. Love the garlicky flavor to the fries and the fish was very fresh. Corn ribs were a unique appetizer.

    I've been hearing about this Bull City Burger spot for over two months, (noted for their tasty…read moregrass-fed beef) and in watching the reviews -- I figured that the experience should be very pleasant; to the eyes and the palate. I was hoping I would not be disappointed. Downtown Durham on Parrish Street I do believe. I went there midday and there was a sparse lunch crowd already seated when I arrived. The warmly lit space presents nice aesthetic as you walk into the restaurant. A very chill and comfortable atmosphere. I love the bar and the mirrored wall nestled behind it. The spot is pretty laidback and very clean, but has a bit of a rustic nuance to it as well. I like that. The serving staff were extremely nice and helpful towards advising me in making my selection -- with me being a first-timer and all. I kept it simple...I chose the Classic Burger (pink) with pepper jack cheese, bacon marmalade, and as a side, I had to go with the Dirty Fries -- 'cause that's how I roll y'all. About the food: I have to say, the burger was staunchly built and crafted with artistry. Nice and tall with a seriously tasty bun encapsulating everything. Perfectly well-seasoned meat and the first bite was simply delightful. I noticed as I got towards the center of the meat, it was bit less juicy than the surrounding parts of the burger, but nevertheless still tasty. My Dirty Fries were delicious In the end; the experience as a whole was quite delightful and I would definitely like to go there again -- perhaps try a different burger to expand upon my experience with this place. Gotta try out That Bar y'all! I do recommend it for those who haven't had a chance to go by there to check it out.

    I'm going to open by saying that the fun and humor of this restaurant is amazing. The interior is…read morenice and vibrant, with a perfect mix of minimalist and maximalist designs in the building (especially with the brewery apparatus being visible--which is awesome!!). Even before me an my party entered we could hear music playing from the building, which kept the vibes up! Moving onto the food, a certain menu item caught my eye. Something that I'm legally obligated to keep quiet about... but let tell you- this burger was Gooood. This "Signature Secret Burger" was rather unique, as it was like you took a pretty simple egg burger, and just ramped it up. My initial thought when I first tried it was that it was a burger squared, the mystery ingredients amplified the flavor to make such a savory meal. It wasn't to overbearing like many other burger places that I've visited, not immediately making me feel fat and full after taking a few bites. Our party also ordered a whole quart of fries, and they were SO GOOD!!! I'm a sucker for good fries, and you knocked this out of the park! Your fry soft was nice and mellow and complimented the fries perfectly. (And even afterwards, the fries warmed up really well and were still Really freakin' good!) Finally, during my visit, their anniversary event (Happy 15th By The Way ) and they were offering FREE DESSERT for someone who happened to sit in a randomly chosen seat. And by the luck of the gods my little brother found his way onto the seat! It was just really awesome to see a restaurant doing such awesome things for their birthday, y'don't see that every day! Overall, this place is definitely a place to stop by if you're in Durham. If you're in the area visit IMMEDIATELY if you love good fun food!
