Love this place. Outdoor seating and tasting room is way fun! Food is okay and beer is good but not great. Service can be a challenge when they are busy... found myself waiting longer as they were short staffed for the size crowd they had on the weekend I was visiting. I used to love this place but now find myself going to the competition in town more often. read more

This brewery is losing its "new brewery in town appeal". One server behind the counter is hardly enough to keep up with special events. She's looking worn out and tired. Honestly, the place could use a deep clean in the bathrooms and the riverside. The riverside needs a couple layers of fresh gravel, weeding, trim and debris pickup. The bathrooms need a deep clean. The Mountain Blond is a decent beer and represents the style. How about having the cigarette smokers move away from the front door while doing their thing. read more

Awesome brewery. Great flavors (stouts, ipas, sours, and ciders) and the staff was super friendly and accommodating. Even let us bring our pups inside because it was freezing outside. read more

Great beer. Lots of choices of beer, cider, as well as, non-alcoholic beverages. The food truck on location has awesome food. read more

Good beer and the women pouring are great. Found it odd that they don't have any guys pouring, like Lazy Hiker does. The atmosphere is good but they could do a better job at updating the outside. Based on past pics of this place, the shrubbery needs some attention. Beer used to be ice cold but lately it's been a bit on the cold but not ice-cold side. (this is based on numerous other Franklin draft beer sites) Customers who frequent Currahee are great, love them all. read more

They have a large tap room, pet friendly and their Oktoberfest is not overly malty , light body and just enough hop. We sat outside overlooking a river . Very relaxing. read more

Currahee Brewing Company - Outdoor space at Currahee Brewery! - Breweries Near Me - Franklin, North Carolina

Sunday July 2, 2020 Home-bound and three days later from a short weekender in the Smokey's we stopped again in Franklin, NC, which has quite variety of micro-brews, including Currahee, which got its start in 2016 and has another location in Alpharetta, GA (where all the experimental batches are borne out) and are about to open a third location in Clayton, GA. Lake Emory is a finger lake that boarders the brewery which is appropriately addressed on Lakeside Drive. The Brewery's website features a cool story revealing the origins of its patronage and name-sake which pays tribute to the Cherokee Indians and a notable WWII Parachute Infantry Division who use the Cherokee word Currahee as their motto which means "Stand alone." There is plenty of parking. If you have a kayak, feel free to use their boat ramp. The outside area has a small stage for out door bands. When we were there no one was playing and pretty much had the beautifully landscaped outdoors to ourselves next to the water. Before ordering, our hostess let me sample a couple of their beers before deciding and settling on the GARAND IPA - which has pine and citrus flavor and maintains malt and hop balance. Whether you are heading into the Appalachian or back to the city be sure to include Currahee as a stop. Drink responsibly. read more

Great beer, love the spaciousness and dog friendly atmosphere. The food trucks are always great choices.

Currahee Brewing Company is an awesome spot to enjoy a cold brew! Hubby and I along with his brother and our sister-in-law stopped in while visiting family in Franklin. There was tons of parking spots open. We walked right in and ordered a few brews. I went with the Kawi coffee milk stout. Excellent brew! I really loved the strong coffee flavor. Must try if you are a coffee drinker. Inside tables and bar seating were up for grabs but we headed outside. This is the spot to post up! Several tables and chairs were set up feet from the little Tennessee river. Talk about perfect location to spend the afternoon. There was some shade along the river as well. They have a food truck on the property as well as a snack stand inside. Stop by for a drink, snack and beautiful scenery! read more

How can you get better than a nice bitter ale sitting alongside the Little Tennessee River! Add to this a fantastic crew doing your pours. Little Stingrays is a great place to eat. read more

Good beer and even better vibes. The seats by the river are nice and the playlist was good. A lot of people had pups (us included) They allowed us to use their games which is really nice because most places have them locked up now for Covid. We went on a Saturday and it did get fairly crowded in terms of crowds nowadays. But due to most of the seating being outside and decently spaced out it felt safe read more

Currahee Brewing Company - Great beer, chill vibes - Breweries Near Me - Franklin, North Carolina

Been to Currahee Brewing three times now. Beer has always been good, however the service at times can be a little slow. All and all a pretty nice place to stop by. The last time we stopped in was on a Sunday afternoon around 12:30. Strange thing was that there were almost more children than adults, which to me isn't a real problem. I have kids to. What was unnerving was the lack of parental supervision. It made our whole stop in uncomfortable Kids throwing rock all up and down the outside patio area, and a completely different set throwing a tennis ball 5 feet away from the bar. read more

Good selection of craft beer styles as well as sodas and bottled water and ciders / wine / seltzers. The food truck schedule is complicated (as they are business people too, they are there when the customer count is beneficial for them too). Sitting outside by the river is always pleasant... oh, and the bartenders are very knowledgeable, they will help you find a beverage you will like read more

Incredible craft beer and great ambiance. Very clean and friendly place. The staff is so helpful and kind. This is a dog and kiddo friendly brewery - I'd give it more than 5 stars if I could! There is a food vendor inside, but also a good selection of snacks if the vendor happens to be closed. A must every time I'm in town. read more

We have been frequenting both the Franklin and Sylvia locations since we moved to western carolina and enjoy both! Always great beer and company--always a good bite to eat inside or in the parking lot as well. I enjoy the stout they recently had but my husband enjoys all the others --says he hasn't had one he disliked yet. read more

We came in on a laid back Friday afternoon. The beer is delicious and the staff is friendly. And they let our dogs hang with us in the taproom as we sipped beer. Can't beat it. read more

I'm not a beer guy but this is a great place to hang, have a beer and hang out outside next to the river.

Love the atmosphere at Currahee Brewing, and enjoy having a beer while you sit by the river. This is our favorite place to come after a long day- I give the brewery a 5. There is usually a food truck that you can buy food. I didn't enjoy Red Oak BBQ. The food was cheap and not good at all. The BBQ taste as if it was cooked not smoked- it was awful which is why I gave the 1 review. The Brewery needs to assure the quality of food is good by whomever is there. read more

Nice, laid-back atmosphere alongside the river in Franklin. The tap room is spacious, but the outdoor seating alongside the river is relaxing-a perfect complement to the terrific lineup of beers the Currahee team offers. And there are plenty of food options, with two food trucks outside and Redneck Ricky's inside. read more

Of course, after having one of their beers at Haywood Smokehouse, I had to see this place. Also, a neat spot to get away from the gemologists, geminites, or whatever you call those peeps at the GL&W. Loved the wood decor and Big Ass Fans. Would def be a spot that I would visit more if I was closer. My only 2 small peeves were: (1) if I order a beer and say close me out...close me out so I don't have to wait later when you come back and ask when I'm done and (2) why do you park on one side and walk around the corner (past a legit door that I could have gone in) to enter the space? All in all a great spot because that is so minor when you are hot and in need of a cool beverage. read more

Bathrooms are disgusting. Walls shelves corners of the walls caked in dirt / dust. Throughout Covid when cleaning was was important, nothing changed. Beers are inconsistent in style, flavor and quality. read more

Super cool brewery by the river in Franklin NC. The name caught my attention as a WWII history buff. Their beer kept me wanting to come back! The food truck is ok. Atmosphere and beer is great! read more

Pretty good craft brewery with good ambiance. Stopped here to quench our thirst after hiking the Bartram trail, we all ordered flights which was a good way to sample many beers. They give you chalk to right down your choices on the flight, 4 of them. Their beers were pretty good, some of the IPAs were pretty blah but a few were really good. Our group decided the hazy and wild IPA were good, their regular IPA I wouldn't recommend. Their flights are more expensive than the other local brewery. Staff was very friendly and patient as we fumbled around deciding flights. They had great music playing too! No food, bring your own if you're hungry. Huge dog friendly inside and outside! We sat by the river which was amazing, a few areas had some coverage too. I would recommend stopping here, it's definitely worth it! read more

This is a very nice brewery with an extremely welcoming feel. Between pulls, bottles and cans they've an excellent list of beers. While they don't offer food, many of the restaurants will deliver to this brewery. There too is oftentimes food truck in the parking lot. And the brewery welcomes you to have a few drinks and enjoy your food from wherever it came. read more

Chick behind the bar is just not nice. She doesn't like to answer questions. My friend wasn't sure about what she wanted to drink and asked one too many questions, my other friend ordered the wrong beer and she didn't like it and wanted to sample some more - the chick behind the bar said I'd love to spend 10 more minutes with you and not help these other people. So, wrong way to handle. She could have said- hey I'm really busy can I serve these people and come back to you or something like that. I know people are short staffed, but seriously... there's another brewery in town we will go there next time. read more

Great location! Good beers and Fido friendly:-) what else do you need? Walked in here as a tourist but leaving as fans!!

Nice atmosphere and outside seating area. It was very quiet on a Saturday night with only a few people in the bar. I think we had just missed the live band. We were visiting Franklin for the weekend and looked up a brewery. We enjoyed the service and the beer. The wayah lager was my favorite after tasting a few on draft. read more

Second Brewery to open in Franklin. Got a chance to visit this past December (2016). Love all the reclaimed lumber in the tap room. If you get a chance to try Tellico Black Rye Ale (6.8%), it will change your life. An amazing beer!!! Complex and delicious! It was all I drank my first visit, since I was so impressed. The Grand IPA is solid and definitely tastes better off the tap than in can (I've had both). Nice to see their beer sold in cans at local convenience/gas stations! read more

The newest brewery in the little town of Franklin definitely left its mark on me. The beers were very tasty and served at appropriate temps; the interior, tables and outdoor patios were simply and beautifully done; and Anna, the beertender, was patient and knowledgable. To top it off, the food truck right outside serves some very palatable food! So don't be put off by the warehouse-like exterior, or the fact they may look closed! Park and go around back. Go ahead, do it. read more

Very cool place. Beers were good. They are not served ice cold, but more cool-ish. The Kawai Beer was awesome. read more

Stopped here because the reviews and pictures showed the patio facing the river. They had a food truck in the parking lot so we decided to grab a beer and food. I didn't know what beer I would like so the young guy behind the bar was so helpful. He let me sample four different beers and I ended up liking a stout which I would probably not have thought I'd like. It was so good! The food truck had burgers and street tacos. The chicken tacos were amazing and sitting down by the water was so peaceful! A true gem and great beer! read more

A huge spacious setting with high ceilings, giant ceiling fans, open garage style doors, outdoor seating with umbrellas, and a treed backdrop on a river, and available for large parties and gatherings. They serve other local brewery beers in addition to their own, and have 6 ounce flights for $3 each to enjoy the selection. A fairly new venue, it would be great for entertainment as they grow. Their own IPA brew called Garand was enjoyable, sitting at their massive wooden bar. Becky was our bartender, and she was knowledgeable, friendly, and attentive. Definitely a good place to check out. read more

Great beer and awesome atmosphere. Loved the outdoor seating and view the river. Perfect spot to wind down.

The Currahee Brewing Company is a "must-stop" if you ever find yourself in Franklin, NC! Tucked behind a McDonald's and cleverly disguised as a warehouse, when you go inside it is spacious and decked out with salvaged barn wood, with several TVs. What's even better is the outdoor section, which overlooks the river with some great views. Best of all, Anna, the bartender, was charming and efficient, and ready to guide you through their impressive selection of brews. I was fortunate enough to be able to spend most of the afternoon there, so I got to try quite a few of them -- you really can't go wrong! read more

Redneck Ricky's food was excellent. He's located in the back right of the room. Highly recommended and he's a nice guy. Not related to the food truck outside which was not appealing. read more
