We were greeted as soon as we entered the store by the owner. It has a welcoming and warm vibe. Mewdlic's is a beautiful store that has countless wonderful gifts. They have a great selection of wine, craft beer, and a massive selection of fine teas. They also carry a small selection of baked goods. The day we stopped in they had this massive, beautiful carrot cake. I love carrot cake and bought a slice to bring home. I will be back and it will be soon! Check it out.

In the 1.5 years since, it's still the place I most often come back to in Hendersonville, despite sampling the food and beer at basically every place in town! I love the ambiance of the old converted gas station, the fact that you can sit inside or outside (and on chilly days, they don't skimp on the heaters) and the carousel of great food trucks that are always there. I love that you're not limited to one brewery's offerings, and instead have options from local NC establishments to interesting brews from all over the country. The bartenders know their regulars and are absolutely awesome, and I LOVE that I can take my pup, take my family, take my laptop---whatever the circumstances, Blue Ridge Beer Garden is the place to be. ALSO, it should be noted that in sleepy Hendo (where some restaurants close as early as 8 pm--why??), Blue Ridge Beer Garden is blessedly open till 10.

At the brewery, you order at the bar and pick your own seat. They have an ample beer and food selection. They also have a small selection of non-alcoholic beverages. They are dog friendly. Hillman brewery has tons of seating and has a lovely outdoor patio along the creek that runs next to the brewery. I had their kombucha and my husband had their beer. We both enjoyed our drinks. We shared their 'Soft Pretzel' appetizer with mustard and it was delicious! This is such a great place to come out and hang with friends and family!

We were greeted by every single one with a smile and happy energy, despite how busy the place was. There are so many times when you sit at a bar unnoticed and patiently wait for someone to look your way, but this was the opposite of that. Our drinks were ice cold and served super fast. We didn't try any food, but they do have a small menu of bar bites that sounded really good. My cider was crisp, and not too sweet. It seemed to be "the spot", because there were lots of people but we didn't have any trouble finding seating. Lots of people had their dogs with them, which is always a plus!! Overall a really nice vibe here!

Lots of outdoor room to sit and enjoy the weather. They have a really nice covered area surrounding three sides of the brewery with tables where people can congregate and enjoy their beverages... They are dog friendly too. That's a big one for us. Nice friendly staff... Just a fun place to visit. The beer selection was not extensive, but they covered a lot of different tastes. The Base Camp Grub food truck outside had amazing "Smashed Burgers" and super fries cooked in beef tallow. Quite an experience. Definitely recommended....

I swear it's their attempt to subliminally coerce me down there, and it usually works. Owners Julie, Lou, and daughter Jess have created an atmosphere that's intoxicating and I'm not even talking about the brewery. They welcome you with a smile and a kind word. I'm kind of a homebody and usually not much on being sociable, but Sideways has a lure and a draw that's hard to resist. I love that it's kid friendly. I love the bartenders. I love the smell of the food trucks. I love the live music. Heck, what's not to love about Sideways in little old Etowah, NC?

I really enjoyed the brussel sprouts and the pizza was great. They also have really good beer options, brewed in house. The staff was really nice in taking orders, and even though the restuarant was packed, everything came out pretty quickly. The resturant itself had trivia going on, and we joined in. Even winning one round, but severely losing every other one. There are a ton of games like cornhole, and a dog patio for pet owners.

We set inside, large fans and big open doors made for a beautiful breeze that blew through. Keeping you cool and comfortable Music 5-8pm from a guitar player. Large selection of beers on tap all cold and delicious, on the beer side service was friendly and quick. We ordered food from their kitchen, my husband had a mixed leafy green salad-(lots of arugula) he added a piece of Salmon on top. Salad was first served with zero dressing (yuk) my husband took it back had salad dressing added he said it was good. I had the wings (teriyaki), they were hot, crispy and delicious. I will definitely.order them again. On the bar side - Trailside bartender was "unfriendly" several in our party ordered sodas and mixed drinks, the woman bartender was indifferent with an attitude, like it was a bother to take a drink order. I returned for a refill of soda and was told nastily "$3 we don't do refills" WOW! Really??? No need to be nasty I didn't know and last time I was there the bartender happily refilled my soda-(which was mostly ice) Obviously this lady dislikes her job! No matter how fun or nice a place is or how good the food, if service is lacking or server gives a negative attitude people won't return. I would give 5 stars to Trailside Brewing if service would have been friendly and smiled.
