    Twinkle lights, large patio, and live music... oh my
    Cayenne D.

    They have too many choices! The staff is absolutely patient and friendly, especially when they have over 40 beers on tap in your very specific. They have indoor and outdoor seating live music and a really good pizza place next-door win win win win win.!!!

    Bottom line: Growler Grlz is an appealing little bar/shop to enjoy a beer or two, with over 40 beers on tap to choose. Cheerful helpful service during my visit and a charming little shop to relax in with both indoor and outdoor seating available. The Deets: I got the chance to enjoy a visit to Growler Grlz with friends Melissa O. and Robert O. after brunch one rainy Sunday, I found it was a nice place to pass the time away sharing a beer or two with good friends on a rainy day. Walking inside the little place in a strip mall near the Woodcroft area in Durham, you are pleasantly surprised coming into the nice, cheerful, quaint shop, with a good amount of outside seating (that we could not use that rainy afternoon) along with the limited seating around the inside bar. I like the assortment of the metal signs that are displayed all over the walls, simple but very nice decor that suits the place well. Over 40 beers on their board to choose from...quite the selection on tap! There are also a assortment of bagged snacks to purchase and enjoy as well with your beverage choice. Our bartender that day was super friendly and helpful, and I found one of my faves Cheerwine Ale from NoDa to enjoy and ordered one. Growler Grlz is a charming little shop/beer bar to hang out in, and I am glad we dropped by.

    If you really enjoy trying new beer, this is the place. Over 40 beers, ciders and sometimes wines to pick from and it changes every week! l always love coming on trivia night Thursdays. Tip: follow their social media to see their sale days Bear is awesome and picks great taste tests for you.

    Wow, how can this place be seven years old already? We were here previously to fill up growlers of beer but on my last visit, I just wanted to drink a pint on a Sunday evening while sitting in their patio area. When the weather is nice, the patio is quite lively. People will get food from the pizza place next door, and they occasionally have musicians playing as well. The vibe is very relaxed and neighborly, and the selection on draft is huge. They've got a good thing going.

    Wow, 42 beers to choose from. Holy indecisiveness! It is very small inside but outdoor seating is available. I got a flight of different IPAs. I wasn't too impressed with the IPA selection when we visited but the selection rotates regularly. If you need a growler fill, this is your spot.

    Really cool spot with a large variety of beer on draft. They make use of all their space even though it is small. The staff was friendly and great suggesting beer based on your likes and preferences.

    42 drafts!

    My first impression of Growler Grlz, just walking into the shop, was wow! Who would guess that a tiny interior would be so full of beer options?! However, after taking in the very FULL board of 42 drafts, it wasn't as easy as one two three. Although the staff was incredibly friendly and inviting, it took him a minimum of ten minutes to explain the color-coded, asterisk and check mark labels system and four pour options they have going on. This wouldn't be a problem regularly, but I couldn't help feeling after one even more overwhelmed by the overcomplicated system. However, aside from all this, if you're looking for a place to try several things, Growler Grlz offers flights of any five 4oz pours for $7.95 (some premium beers are $10.95 for a flight). The bartender also gave us samples of anything we were interested in. We tried five of their IPA's, the majority of which were more malt centered but I'm curious how often they're cleaning their lines. Growler Grlz aims at filling growlers, so they constantly have rotating taps. They offer the crazy low price of $2 drafts on Mondays for craft beer HOWEVER only 6 of the 42 drafts were on sale during our Monday visit. And although Growler Grlz focuses on drafts, they did have three bottles for sale in the shop: Canvas Series by Wicked Weed, Saints and Sinners by Big Boss and something by North Carolina Brewing Company out of Fort Brag. Overall, I'd return to the small space beer-centered space again (although be warned, if gets really noisy when busy), but I wouldn't make Growler Grlz a regular hangout place.

    Beer flights!

    This is a great place to hang out! It's a small shop but they have a great selection of beers. It's mainly a grab and go place but they have both indoor and outdoor seating available. They are pet friendly so you don't have to leave your pups at home! I went there with a Groupon for their beer flights. Basically, you can pick any 5 except the ones with stars next to them. They have a wide selection of beers to go through so you still have plenty to choose from. Always clean, staff is friendly, and good beers.

    We've landed in the mothership! Could this really be a clean, FRIENDLY place with 42 very interesting taps AND an actual knowledgeable staff?????? (Who knew you could serve beer without dumb servers who can't learn the tap line and make up beer "words", ) -these people can do it!!!! So incredibly glad we found this gem! STANDING OVATION!!!!!

    I live so close to Wine Authorities and drove by it so many times but never noticed them. It wasn't…read moreuntil Offline Premium introduced me to them! They have 2 locations- Raleigh and Durham. The entire store is filled with wines from all over the world. The best part? None of them are from big companies. Every single one of them are from local/ small businesses (You can see some of the business owners photos by the wines!). The owner/ founder of Wine Authorities has been working with a lot of the wineries for many years. They taste every new batch they purchase to ensure quality. Although they have many businesses they've been working with for a long time, they go to wine shows and events in Europe to discover new ones! I like my wine very sweet but there were so many choices that I was a bit overwhelmed. I asked the nice lady at the register to give me recommendations and I loved the wine she recommended. If you are a bit overwhelmed with all the choices, just ask for help. They are very informative and helpful! Aside from their amazing wine, they also have beer, cider, sake, hot sauce, honey, meats, and etc. You will find at least one thing you will love. On Saturdays, they have free wine tastings from 12-3pm! If you cannot make it there on time, you can always buy a bottle or two. They will give you glasses to drink in the back or outside if the weather is nice outside! You can also buy snacks or cheese to go with your wines. Also, if you are a little hungry, you can buy a bottle from Wine Authorities and head to Thai Cafe next door and they will let you drink there without extra charge!

    Wonderful wine store and knowledgeable owners. I favor a good selection of French wines in general…read more Not only is their selection trialed and tested and very good-- but they also cover a broad price range. If you would enjoy buying 50 and 75+ $$ bottles you can find excellent selections but if your budget is more modest and you are looking for $15-25$ selections, you can buy with confidence as well. Have been buying from them for years.. highly recommend. Love this purveyor.
