The place was packed on a Thurs night (trivia night). I was a little disappointed on the number of draft beer options (only 10). The bartender wasn't a little rough - not particularly friendly. The patrons were the opposite....we came across some really friendly folks while we enjoyed a beer. read more

Great selection of beers from the area and beyond, on tap. You can buy beer and some wines to go. Would be nice to have a better wine selection, but that's just me. This is a great place! read more

A wonderful environment for sitting with family and friends for any one of a variety of beers and entertainment. The weekly outside brewery tap is especially valuable allowing for an opportunity to taste beers from brewers across the region. read more

This place is a pretty nice. It is a large facility and there is a lot of seating spread out, so there is plenty of room for a lot of people. Also an outdoor area. They have a large selection of wine and beer to choose from. The bar is spacious and welcoming. There are usually around 12 different beers on tap. The bartenders are really nice and helpful. They are knowledgeable as well. If you're ever in town, I recommend taking a stop here to try it out. read more

Stumbled upon here after hiking in Linville Falls for the day on a Saturday. Stopped in and had a delicious cider that tasted like fall (called Spice Mountain) and then got some local crackers and mango sriracha hummus that was delicious. Great vibe for the bottle shop and taproom, although it was a little dark. The menu was a scrolling screen so be sure you see all your options. Friendly staff gave us samples and gave us plates, napkins and a knife for our food as well as cleaned up after us. There is a discount wall too so be sure to check it out! read more

We almost always make a stop at Brown Mountain when we're in Morganton -- it's a great book end to Fonta Flora, who closes a little earlier than Brown Mountain some nights. They have a great beer selection both on draft and in bottles and cans, tasty treats to munch on (check out Poppy's popcorn from Asheville) and their space is beautifully designed and comfortable. It's easy to hang out here for hours! Brown Mountain Bottleworks turned 3-years old yesterday and we were lucky enough to help them celebrate! They rolled out the red carpet with Cold Mountain (my most favorite beer!) a plenty, raffle prizes on the half hour (we won a gift pack from New Holland!), a food truck and live music. read more

I love this place. Gluten free options for the celiacs and really a huge variety with an awesome atmosphere. read more

Brown Mountain Bottleworks - Bar area - Pubs Near Me - Morganton, North Carolina

No trip to Morganton is complete without hitting this place. Their tap list has something for everyone, plenty of seating and a neighborhood feel although many of the patrons are from out of town. Typically when Fonta Flora does a release we head over to Brown Mountain afterwards to talk more beer, have something new from the area meanwhile running into those we just met over at Fonta. The older gentleman behind the bar is always helpful and kind. The only thing I would add to this place is some type of roof or awning on the back patio. Step out there at 1 p.m on a hot Saturday afternoon and you'll be in for a rude awakening. The front patio is quaint and cool to hangout on. Overall two thumbs up over here read more

Friendly, fun and a great environment. Stopped in with some friends when traveling and tried a flight of beers and ciders. Bartender was knowledgeable and great, but didn't crowd us. They have a absolutely fantastic variety of local and not so local brews. We left with some goodies for the rest of our vacation which I was super excited about. I wish we lived closer so we could be members of their beer club, which looked really cool. This is a great little place and we will definitely stop in again when we are back in Morganton! read more

Great feel and an amazing selection of beer! Cory, one the owners was our beertender and was a absolute pleasure to meet! The drafts we had were delicious, snacks were available, wine by the glass/btls of togo , and great shirts/retail to buy to take with you. If you love craft beer this place is a must! read more

Really neat place! You can tell someone put a lot of thought and money into the space. Even the swag for sale looks high quality/high dollar. The space has one of those simultaneously cool and warm vibes. The entire left side is just shelf after shelf of bottled beer, with a selection ranging from Evil Twin to Pisgah Brewing. On the right is a bar with about 8 taps. I was impressed to see Nebraska IPA on tap and multiple offerings from a recent Skull Camp tap takeover. When I was there, the outdoor seating area out front was being prepared with railings being installed. The owner is super nice, laid back and ready to open the throttle this summer, as they have just recently opened their doors this past November. Annual membership is only a dollar. They also offer growlers. If you're in Morganton stop here first before moving on to Fonta Flora, Catawba and Wisteria, to get the full "brew tour" experience. read more

Brown Mountain Bottleworks is a nice addition to Morganton as they have a great beer selection for purchase, knowledgable staff eager to help, and live music events and tastings regularly. Brought to you by a pair of brothers, Kory and Collin Suttles, both ambitious and enthusiastic about [craft] beers, BMBW is going to be a landmark stop for libations in this small town. I went here for a live music event ( New Year's Eve to be exact!) and I did find it odd that they had not secured their license to sell beer and liquor yet. However, since they had delicious and unique local hard ciders on tap, this was not a problem, and they promised that they were about to get the licensing worked out. (Apparently, if an establishment wants to sell alcohol, they also have to sell food, or the other option is to become a "member club" with a nominal annual fee, all "members" can drink). So, I am rating this place based on its potential, and what it would serve now as of January 2015, rather than knocking it for not having alcohol **on the world's most celebrated drinking day! ** Haha! I loved the Village Tart Cherry Cider. Wonderful to have local apples and cherries in a cider! Now, about one or two months since opening, they have a HUGE selection, available in bottles to purchase, growlers to take home, cans, etc. Plus some cheeses and meats, and non-alcoholic beverages. This place also is well-designed and beautiful, with table seating and a long bar. Live music every Tuesday -- bluegrass, folk, acoustic. Events -- tastings, brewer meetups Games! -- Jenga, Clue, etc FOOD: N/A AMBIANCE: 5/5 SERVICE: 5/5 VALUE/EXPERIENCE: 4/5 read more

Brown Mountain is a fantastic bottle shop located in Sleepy Morganton. It's spacious, always clean, has 12 rotating taps to enjoy at their beautiful wood bar, and the bottle selection is plentiful and super unique. The bartenders are always knowledgeable about what they have on tap and are happy to make recommendations or just let you decide for yourself. If you're here for beer, like so many others are, Brown Mountain should be a stop on your Morganton journey. Now that I'm reading through other yelp reviews here, I had no idea they had snacks! We'll absolutely have to make this part of our next visit! read more

Great place to get a beer. Typically have a good sampling between dark and ciders. The beer selection changes regularly. The atmosphere is local, casual and welcoming! Friendly bar staff and patrons - you can always find someone to say 'Hi' to at the bar. If you don't like what's on tap they have a slightly less than a million beer singles and six packs. Appetizer style food only. read more

A gem in downtown Morganton. My pup and I wandered in here after hiking nearby, passing the gorgeous murals out back as we did. I loved the live edge wood tables and shelves, great selection on tap (and to go), and friendly staff. read more

We stumbled upon this place for a couple brews, but I didn't expect to see the massive selection of beer to take home. It's like half beer bar, half craft beer store. I ordered the Little Ass #3 by Ass Clown Brewing Company (just for the name, to be honest). It was a delightful sour, but I wasn't completely amazed by it. My second choice -- Winterqueen, a cranberry/ginger saison was much more memorable. The beer tender helping us that evening was probably my favorite part of the experience. I did my usual brewery sticker swap and the sticker he gave me was one of the coolest I've ever seen...which then led to me purchasing one of their shirts. They also were selling bottles of a recent bottle release from Fonta Flora that I didn't see when we went visited the brewery, so I naturally bought that as well. Lastly, he dropped the tidbit that there was a brewery within walking distance serving a peanut butter and jelly beer. Sold! That was our next stop. read more

Solid place for a variety of brews in Morganton. Hardly ever crowded and the staff are always helpful. Comfy seating and even better atmosphere. Bring a jacket if you get cold easy though, it's a bit drafty. Keep this place going! read more

Really loved stopping in Brown Mountain Bottleworks to kill some time before our check-in. The selection & atmosphere were great. Friendly staff too. I especially appreciated that my pregnant self could enjoy a glass of locally made kombucha while my husband sampled the beers. read more

One of the best places to hang out in downtown Morganton. Such a chill and relaxing atmosphere, and often have great live music. You can purchase something they have on tap, something out of the cooler, or right off the shelf! They have the best beer selection in Morganton and have lots of wine as well! read more

This place is amazing! We were in town for a wedding and randomly stumbled into this place in Downtown Morganton on a Friday afternoon. Great beer selection from near and far, knowledgeable and extremely helpful staff (thanks Collin!). The actual space itself is beautiful - the floors and concrete countertops (I just redid my kitchen. Can you tell ;) ) As a previous Yelper said - you have to become a member for a very nominal fee (emphasis on the very), but only one person in your group has to have it. They have a variety of beers on tap, but you can also grab singles from the case or six-packs to either drink there or to go. And growlers too! I was super impressed with Brown Mountain Bottleworks and would definitely return if I'm in the area again. read more

A wonderful experience each time I visit BMBW. I make it a habit to stop in when I'm passing through. Great selection and welcoming staff. Kory and co will give you suggestions in beer/wine fit to your liking and make sure you leave with a smile on your face. You must stop by! Happy almost 2 years! read more

This is a cool place inside, but it is just missing quite a lot. Bartender could have cared less that we were there. We were looking to engage in conversation on possibly where to eat dinner as we were passing through. Beer selection was weak. They do have a decent to-go selection. Not much reason to go back. Unfortunately, other 2 local taprooms were closed on Mondays and this was 1 of 2 choices. Disappointed as we were excited to visit morganton expecting a cool vibe. read more

I love the atmosphere here and always find a delicious beer. The staff is always friendly and helpful. Very relaxed environment.

Comfortable neighborhood bottle shop with friendly service and wide selection of bottled beer, wine, and 12 drafts. Cool place to hang out.

Cool spot on a hot day! Had a good beer selection from different areas plus the local craft beers. The bar stools were comfortable but we had others join us so we hung out at the front window chairs and table. It was very comfortable. Very friendly bartender and gave good recommendations. I am sure I will go back! read more

Good beer selection, not as good as Hops and Grapes. But keeping out of Hickory is a plus. Nice bar area for members only (membership costs $1) with a limited number of selections. It's not designed for anyone to stick around a long time. read more

Fantastic beer selection! Keith is a sweet heart! Everything they have is great! We can't wait to come back! Thank you again ! The snacks are so yummy! read more

Had a great first experience here! They have a rotating tap of 10 beers all from NC. Lots of choices for bottled/canned beer and wine to drink there or take home. The atmosphere was relaxed on a weekday, but I could imagine it gets busier and more upbeat on weekends. They had an area for live music. Some snacky type foods, but you can bring your own food in as well. The bartender was incredibly helpful and nice. Would highly recommend! read more

My husband and I love it here. Whether you're from morganton or you're stopping by off of I-40, it has an excellent selection of beers that is always rotating. Every employee is very friendly and it's a very clean bar. This is our favorite place in Morganton, and we just moved here. read more

Love the atmosphere and the free live music on the weekends. Yummy ciders and great selection of package beer.

Cool selection of craft beer, enormous wall of bottled beer. They have a live music schedule, mostly folky bluegrass stuff. Dogs are allowed, table games, big bathroom, plenty of seating for the space and some outside room. Fun place to meet up with friends or just people watch on your own. read more

One of our regular places to go to on the weekend. Reminds me of a SB Coffee Shop only serving Beer. Nice atmosphere and lots of choices for beer. They have Wine too. They allow you to have food delivered or brought in there, since they don't serve food. They have a few snacky things there, like cheese and specialty crackers. read more

We visited Brown Mountain Bottleworks this past weekend and had such a great experience. Not only do they have an awesome beer/wine and cider selection to purchase and take home or drink in house, they also have a beautiful bar with a bunch of beers on tap. The owners are really cool and laid back with an obvious knack for running a friendly and clean business. They are also dog friendly, which was a plus because we had ours with us, and it was nice to see some other nice dogs in there that she could sniff around with while we listened to the live music. All in all, they've really got a nice spot in downtown with outdoor seating, and good vibes. Will definitely be headed back soon! read more
