Every visit here is a treat, and their other beers consistently deliver as well. The overall vibe is great, and the rotating selection keeps things interesting. We love exploring the brewery scene in Rocky Mount, and HopFly stands out as one of the best. While they don't serve food, there are some great restaurant options right in the same complex, making it super convenient. Definitely worth the stop if you're in the area!

They sell a few snacks on-site, but the best part is that you're welcome to bring in outside food--highly recommend grabbing a pizza from the place right next door. The bartender was super helpful, giving us tips on where to grab food and even sharing info about upcoming events. The space has a relaxed, welcoming vibe and is set in a repurposed home, which adds a lot of charm and character. Great spot to hang out, sip some solid brews, and enjoy a casual evening.

It's really two breweries in one: Harlem and Spaceways, and we tried a variety of beer, all of which was tasty! (A bonus to two breweries being under one umbrella was a nice variety of different styles to try.) I was kinda tired and cold and we were only planning on getting a taster before heading out, but everyone there was super friendly and the beer was so good that we ended up getting a round of beers (I really loved the old ale, and the red rye was my husband's favorite!) and sitting around to chat. It's a small space (like many of the little breweries in Rocky Mount) but there is plenty of outdoor seating if needed. I definitely suggest stopping in for a taster though!

As soon as we walked in the door, the vibes were on point. A diverse crowd and an amazing live band ( The Phoebes) was just what we needed to recover from an earlier experience. I got two rounds of Cherry Cobbler Sour Ale. It was a beautiful deep red color. It wasn't too sweet and it was tart just as a sour should be. Service was amazing. The female owner blended right in with the other bartenders and served me immediately. Because we're were in toallfor out HS reunion, we stuck around for a while to catch up. The staff was super friendly and kind to us the entire night. One classmate purchased a round of Burbon shots for everyone and they were served very quickly. We were also offered some awesome pretzels to help soften that experience. (Because who takes shots of bourbon!? I guess we do! LOL) I live in the Triad and I look forward to trying their Mebane location. I hope the vibes are just as great. I will definitely be returning to the Rocky Mount location and spreading the word to anyone who'll listen!!

He was a little disappointed in the small size of the burger but it was otherwise good (cooked medium well but not dry) and the salad was fresh. Service was friendly but server had a little trouble remembering if they had Guinness. I would expect the servers to have this information ready as they serve primarily burgers and BEER, ya know.

Made it more chill. The service was not the fastest, but it didn't ruin the dinner at all. If I'm ever back in the area, I would come back to this spot.

LouReda's....it is the place you might pass by anytime you are in Rocky Mount. It is a small place…read moreas you find a place to go. But stop and step inside and it is bigger than you imagine. It is not fancy, but once you try something it is different. This is American Cooking but with a style that is special. See what awaits. When we went in I had worked up at the Rocky Point Markets for furniture both in the spring and the fall of each year. It was always filled with folks from everywhere to shop, and see and buy for the next season. There were plenty of places to have lunch. But when dinner came it was special. The local style of cooking was different. It might have the same meal as you would find in another region, but here it was different as it is based on the cook / chef. Tonight we stopped in and the person helping us was very special. She told us of what was available and what was not. She gave the details and let us order. First we had to have an Arnold Palmer. Naturally, it was different than the person down the block. This was not sweet as usually. It was an equal mike and perfect to have. It gave us something to think about. First up was the Mac & Cheese. But unlike normal Mac & Cheese, with this we ordered shrimp. Not what you expect, this was unique. The Mac & Cheese was a combination of fresh pasta and mixed with four different types of cheese. It was mixed together with a cream and butter. It was not a firm mix but a mix that was moist and tasty with each bit you took. That alone was a meal unto itself. Being mixed with shrimp was different. The shrimp where not small. They were a good size. And there was almost a dozen mixed in. They were not placed onto. Being mixed in they aded to the flavor and taste. There was no spices. Just fresh shrimp with pasta and a cheese mix. A dip of bread helped to take it all in. Next we did have Baby Back Ribs. These were very fresh and tasty. Cooked to the right point hthey literally fell off the bone itself with the touch of a fork. The taste was slightly mixed with honey. Sweet but spicy. Naturally had to have some home made coleslaw with this. Plus an order of sweet potato fries. And these were fresh. Alone with a drink these would have been a good snack to have together. I could have had another plate of these alone. The two dishes were perfect. Yet, we did need to have dessert when the couple at the next table ordered it and shared it. This was Bread Pudding, topped with vanilla ice cream and served with Bourbon sauce. This was heaven itself. You did not need more. There people could have shared this one item. Again, it was freshly made and warm. Ideal. The ice cream was made that morning. And, as for the bourbon, you could have had a glass of this. Spread over the bread pudding it was how we sometime drink an Irish Coffee. Had to have that taste with each bite. Overall, this was a special place to for a meal. It was truly unique for the region and for the chef. The team was a great help. The price was great. As for the people who were there, it was packed. Many came from the places where they are creating the new furniture and items that will be on display for the next market in Rocky Point for next spring. They knew where the place is and what to order. It is truly the right spot for a good meal. It is worth the visit next time I am in town.

We walked into this establishment and was immediately met with attitude from the bartender working that night. We were a group of 10, so maybe she was frustrated, but there is zero excuse to have an attitude towards people who came to spend $. Before I get into this review, I would like to point out that we were sober walking into this establishment. No sketchy or rude behavior. Just a group of professionals that went to HS together and wanted to catchup over drinks! She immediately told us that she wasn't going to answer any question about what was on draft and that we should just look at the signage, I witnessed her throw a menu at someone, I witnessed her interrupt our service to serve to newer customers, I overheard her tell a couple, she'd be with them as soon as she was done with "these" people (oh yes, she had the tone you're imagining), and finally, she made a loud announcement when someone in the group's card declined (0 discretion). I was at the end of the line waiting to be served and after hearing seeing all of the above, I was highly upset and told my classmates that I would be outside waiting for them because I was NOT giving my $ to that establishment. Many others followed suite. The ones that got drinks, cashed out and thankfully you're allowed to take your drinks outside. I will NEVER go back in there. Maybe that there preference.
