    Beer
    Katherine S.

    Stopped by on our way through town. Told by friends to check it out. Plenty of seating inside and outside. Was busy but the service was pretty fast. You will order inside and server will bring your items to you. Had a pilsner and an IPA. I don't drink much beer so the pilsner (I think #9) was nice and light. We also had the preztle with the beer & cheese sauce. Preztle and sauce were good, but the sauce was a little thin. We will go back.

    The ambience is an all out assault on your senses. Industrial mixed with eclectic modern farmhouse . Architectural coherence bordering on an intelligent designer behind it all., or perhaps a tight budget and whatever they got a good deal on when building the place it serves to make a statement. All are welcome here. The level of care that is exhibited in ingredient selection shows an empathy towards a partnership with the community. The blending of styles demonstrates a reckless disregard for the tried and true. The blending result is righteous harmony exalted through experiences and memories.

    Really! Everything was spot on. I came with a group of 8. We ate inside, but we could have eaten at outside. (There's also a cool garden patio area with Adirondack chairs that we lounged in with after dinner drinks.) We started by ordering at the counter. I sampled several beers and liked them all. They were super smooth and had great taste profiles (I'm not a big drinker, so I don't know if that's the right verbiage, but they were great.) We had the "Madge" deviled eggs, which were so good, then went on to salad, Apple Goat, so fresh and perfect, then the pizza. I tried the Lasagna Pizza and the Sloppy Joe Pizza. As a pizza connoisseur, the crust had the proper balance of soft and crispy, the sauce was good as was the cheese. Obviously, I can't say enough good things about this place (although with the length of this review it seems I've given it my best effort!)

    Great beer at Bright Penny Brewery

    The food is tasty. We got the deviled egg flight and picked three and all were fun and delicious. The place is nice inside and out with a beer garden setup as well. That being said the beer... is ON POINT! I'm an IPA person and I would Rand the two they had as excellent. You can order via phone with an QR code which makes it very easy and convenient.

    We stopped in for a quick lunch while traveling through. The bar had all the college football games on, and it seems to be a popular place. The menu has about a dozen versions of deviled eggs, which was unique! We also had a pizza. It's a New York style pizza. Very fresh. No waitresses, you have to order using their app or go to the bar.

    Entrance

    There are actually 2 locations in Mebane, one by the outlets and this one. This place is fantastic. They have seating inside, but the main attraction is outside at the beer garden. It was packed today so no pictures because it's always creepy to take photos or strangers to post online. My husband, the introverts' favorite part is you can grab a table outside, scan the QR code, order from your phone and they bring it to your table. In all honesty, you could go here with never entering the place. We had the Oktoberfest and the Buffalo chicken dip with pitas. Service was great and we greatly enjoyed the beer and food! Definitely a cool place, check it out if you are in the area. The parking lot is small but there is a lot right across the street when you can park and walk over. Definitely kid and dog friendly as well.

    Buffalo Chicken Pizza
    Sharonika J.

    Super cute place ! Really nice server ! I had a cider which I normally don't go for. But it was good! I can't even remember the name because the server suggested it. I would definitely come back for the brewery part & patio, if in the area. Ehhhhh, sadly I was disappointed about the food. The eggs lead us here and they weren't good. I had high expectations. We ordered the flight with buffalo chicken, jam & lobster dip. The yolk & the topping has no flavor. The veggie pizza & buffalo chicken pizza had a good crust but nothing to brag about! I love a good patio so it's a nice spot to sit outside & have a beer on a nice day!

    We love this place! The food is always good and has a very good beer selection. The self order app is easy to use and the service is excellent and quick. Trivia night is fun! The outdoor area is great for kids and relaxing. And for a big group the self order app lets everyone handle their ticket and food at their own pace.

    Sals Pretzel
    Brad S.

    First visit to this establishment. Seat yourself and you may scan a qr code and do all the ordering online or someone will come over and greet you. Atmosphere is quaint, with indoor and outdoor options. Indoors can be a little loud when full but not so bad you cannot carry on a conversation. The craft beer has a nice selection and is very tasty. Started with Sal's pretzel, which was an excellent choice. Arrived hot, soft but not chewy, butter and grated parmesan, with a tomato based dipping sauce. Meal was pizza, Family Friendly. I enjoy wood fired "bar" style pizza so this was excellent. The sausage is locally sourced and some of the best I have tasted. Perfect size for two. Manager stopped by to clear the plates and asked how things were, and when found out our first visit, stayed and explained about the restaurant, going ons throughout the week. Couple days later received an email thanking us for the visit. Prices are reasonable, as I did not walk away hungry. I will definitely be returning.

    I love this place! I can't believe it took me so long to get out here. It's hopping, fun, great beer, and the pizza is outstanding. It gets super busy, both lots were filled when I came on a Saturday evening. Inside there's bar seating and a good amount of tables, out back there's also seating and a side deck. I tried a variety of beers and enjoyed them all. My friend and I also had the Cheesesteak pizza and the 4-1-2. They were super unique and tasty! It's a great size though, especially for the price, and the toppings are plentiful. Our bartender, Jordan, was wonderful! He checked on us constantly and like I said, they were packed. Definitely a must check out in Mebane!

    Absolutely! We have multiple outdoor seating areas and a large heated tent.

    Are dogs allowed?

    Absolutely.. we have several outdoor seating areas. Because we have a kitchen, only service animals are allowed inside.

    Is it kid friendly if there around supper time?

    Definitely. We went to dinner there the other night with a 5 year old. The kids have toys that they can play with and the atmosphere is easy-going.

This place is everything but quick.. it took us 40 minutes to get our order, the fries were cold and the rest of the food was just kinda meh.

The only reason I'm doing a two star is because my husband said he liked the brew choice and the bread in his sandwich was good ----- Updating given recent remarks in response to my review ---- I appreciate the response to the review, however, I want to be clear that I did not state anything to the nature of referring to or expecting pricing to be in line with fast food pricing... If this is what I was seeking, we certainly would have gone elsewhere (fast food within half a mile) I can only assume someone else has made this remark to the business in the past, however, the comment on pricing specifically related to the sheer amount of food given. i.e. my husbands sandwich had very little protein on it and relied on getting filled by the bread and extra side of fries purchased.

We started with the Pimento Cheese Hushpuppies, which I had high hopes for. They were a bit over‑fried and dry, with more breading than cheesy center, and the jalapeño bacon jam was watery and didn't quite complement the hushpuppies. That said, the concept is fun, and with a thicker, chunkier jam, I think they'd really shine. The Fried Oysters, however, were a completely different story. Perfectly breaded, not overly heavy, and full of flavor. My husband--who's keto and peeled the breading off--still commented on how good the oysters themselves were. If anything, we just wished the portion was bigger. The star of the starters for me was the She Crab Soup. Creamy, rich, and loaded with crab. It was one of those dishes you keep going back to between bites of everything else. And here's my pro tip: dip the hushpuppies into the soup. It transformed them from dry to delicious, and I even suggested to our server that the kitchen consider offering them together. For my entrée, I had the Bang Bang Shrimp Tacos with a side of pasta salad. The shrimp were cooked perfectly, and the Thai‑inspired sauce had a sweet kick that I honestly wish there had been more of. The pasta salad was classic but surprisingly good--fresh, balanced, and better than most versions I've had lately. My husband ordered the Salmon & Shrimp Scampi, swapping the pasta for extra spinach to stay keto. Both proteins were cooked beautifully, full of flavor, and plated generously. Overall, the meal had a few highs and a couple of misses, but the quality of the ingredients and the creativity of the menu make this a place I'd absolutely visit again. With a little fine‑tuning on a few items, 2 Twelve has the potential to be truly exceptional.

My meal, the Charleston Crab Cakes, was really good too (I asked that they put the creamed corn on the side -- the crab cakes will come on top of the creamed corn if you don't make a special request). But when (not if) we return, I will be ordering the seafood pasta for sure because it was that good! A friend recommended the pork chops and the burgers. The ambience is quaint and the indoor dining space is very small and cozy. There was a bit of a wait when we arrived. I recommend making a reservation if you don't want to dine outdoors. It was January so too cold for us to eat outdoors because there is no heating and the overhead fans were on! Also, please bring a little patience for parking because this restaurant is in an area of downtown with limited parking.
