    Once Upon A Time In Mexico. YUM!
    Kate M.

    We visited a few breweries on our trip to North Carolina and this one had to be our favorite. They had a great beer selection, friendly staff, and we just loved the vibes of the places. All of the tables had been painted by artists and it was just a really fun setting. It's on a second floor and is located right by a few different restaurants so that worked perfect for us as we just came right upstairs after having dinner. Gizmo Brew Works will for sure be on our list to come back to when we visit again!

    Nice chill spot to hang out and enjoy some drinks! Plenty of indoor and outdoor seating! We enjoyed picking fun beers for a flight. They also had some Bartender's Brewology pints on special for $5. These were a mix of 2 beers or a beer and a seltzer. We tried one and it was tasty!

    Gizmo has their third location in Durham. It's in a neat spot with a good mix of indoor and outdoor seating. The beer and game selections were good. You can also buy games and merchandise. If you are in the area, it's definitely worth checking it out. Cheers!

    Lots of local beers on tap! Gizmo offers both an indoor space as well as a spacious balcony. The balcony is perfect for those summer evenings when you're looking to unwind and watch the sunset with a bev. There are also activities offered almost on a daily basis (music bingo, trivia, crafternoons, DJ nights), and they also have board games and puzzles! Attached is a quick snapshot of an adorable little plant puzzle I completed (on my own) at Gizmo.

    I'm so excited Gizmo has a location in Durham now! It's also in a great area with other local businesses and there's a parking lot! I tried the following beers: Hibiscus Lavender Ginger Beer, Renaissance Man (a pumpkin coffee ale) and a Black Stiletto Stout. They were all delicious! I also enjoyed the live music outside but wish it wasn't so loud because it was very difficult to hold conversations with people.

    Durham "Pickle" building

    Pretty cool and chill place to hang out and drink some brews in South Durham. They are fairly new and pretty hidden but are located above BB's chicken in the University Hill area. You can sit outside or inside and I had a few of their "Dad Jokes" Pilsner which went down easily on a sultry Summer evening. On the outside porch area there is a nice view of the Durham "pickle" building (see pict). There are also QR codes on the tables where you can order some chicken sandwiches at BB's below and have it ready when you are finished downing a few brews!

    After dinner at BBs my fiancé and I headed to Gizmos for a few beers. New places I always have to do a flight so I can get an idea of what beers a brewery has. Service was great and loved the seating. Being on a patio with the sun setting was top tier. Flight holder is so cute with the cog! We tried 6 different beers which gave us a good variety. Service was great and fast. Beers were good. Loved the new releases they had this month. Scovilliaus Maximus was delicious. Hoping that more Fall beers come soon, bc Oktoberfest wasn't a fave of mine. Still will come back to see what else is new.

    Games, dogs, good beer

    Yum! After touring Duke my daughter and I were hungry. We…read morethought about eating in their amazing dining hall, but i suggested we go elsewhere since she'd be eating there all week for a tennis camp. Yelp told me this delicious sandwich shop was just 5 minutes away, which seemed like the perfect option. It was a hot summer day and I couldn't believe how many people were sitting outside in the heat. We got the last table in the air conditioned inside, which made me happy. We placed our orders at the counter: - The Jane for me - Pine Street Pimento for my daughter and a bag of chips (salt & vinegar for me) for both! We did the smaller size sandwiches which were still quite large, but we were quite hungry and finished them off. They were so good that I even thought about coming back for lunch the next day, but knew there were plenty of delicious restaurants in the area to try. However, i'll come again when back in the area!

    Second time here…read more Great sandwich options and large portions! Options for vegan diets that's still keeps essence of original sandwich which I appreciated (impossible chicken tenders for cutlets). Great space! Plenty of seating indoor and outdoor. I discovered the garden this time around and enjoyed sitting out there for my meal. Came on a Saturday afternoon and it was not very busy. Ordered the mozzarella sticks and the chicken cutlet sandwich (regular). The sticks were amazing with the sauce! The SS which bread was so fresh and soft as was the chicken cutlet. I wish it had more sauce and a little salt pepper vinegar splash would have gone a long way. A good sandwich but the most amazing or most flavorful sandwich I've ever had. Can't stress how fresh everything tasted though and it was huge only ate half.
