I've passed by this place a few times when heading to kickball and have been wanting to check it…read moreout so we stopped in to grab a beer today. There is a note on the door that masks are required when entering and when you are not at your table during COVID-19. I was a little turned off to see that the bartender was not wearing one though. You can choose a beer from the draft list or in the cooler section (there is a $1.50 corkage fee). If you want beer for home, there is a small selection to choose from. I wanted to sit outside since it was smaller inside. We got to watch planes pass by as they were arriving at RDU so that was exciting!

I have grabbed beers with friends before I dropped them off at the airport, sat outside and enjoyed chatting with folks and meeting new faces, or picked up my tablet and read a book while sipping some wine. If you're looking for a comfortable place to chill out, this is it!

This was my first visit to Vault, but had heard good things from some beer friends. They had a nice…read moreselection of NC beers, and one or two from out of state. They also had several coolers full of cans, and I want to check that out next time I come. There's seating available at the bar, some tables inside, plus about 10 picnic tables outside that fits at least 8 people at each. There is parking available in front of the shop, and a few more spots behind as well.

While I'm not a huge beer nerd, I do like what Vault is bringing to the area! A modern, great…read morelooking beer bar and bottle shop with plenty of patio space and outdoor seating. Located conveniently a block south of Sam Jones and two blocks west of Red Hat Amphitheater, Vault is a bit of a neighborhood gem in this quiet area. Lots of natural woods, whites, and oranges makes for a clean and well-designed look. The building was converted from a bank (surprise)! The beer list is well curated and prices are excellent ($7 to $8 per pint). Definitely worth a visit with friends and there's often a food truck in the parking lot!

Nice viewing area & brewing room potential to rent sq footage for an event. Dynamite smiling face behind the bar. Happy, pleasant, engaging, knowledgeable. A kitchen that's being rented to a mixed variety food menu. We had Gyros. Great quality & great size. Ordering was seamless. They had a little something for everyone. Think food truck without the wheels! Love that they offer 2 on tap ciders (guest taps) and 2 NA options. Things to improve- All breweries do trivia, bingo & karaoke. What's something that is identifying to CRB? Just seems a bit stale to be polite. Loved their live music and guest monthly schedule. Several of the beer (specifically the coffee porter & honey wheat) were high IBU in turn being very bitter. We wanted to love the wheat and the coffee porter but both left us longing for better. So if we are a brewery... be great at that. Why are we a full service liquor bar too? A few options to appease everyone but we were surprised at the bourbon choices. Not only does it look cluttered, it clearly was selected by someone who has a preference for liquor/bourbon vs. a brew master. Maybe do a rotating cocktail list or 4-6 out of this world drinks and cut the rest. Drink prices at this price should not have pre done sour mix in them. Quality liquor should mean quality ingredients too. Big thumbs down on that. We did love the mimosa cocktail idea and the beer-rita with the use of CBR beer. Sames from 6 years ago- Chairs still suck. Parking is a little bit of an adventure but not sure there is a solution but rather just something to plan ahead for. No niche beer... still. We had their newish beers in each category. Overall... Scottish is still a solid choice. Lack of identity/theme/flagship beer (although we were told their IPA was?) Overall this place could be rocking 7 days a week! It's a good place to run by after work or gather a group and play card games, have access to a nibble & drink.

I found Compass Rose on Google when looking for a brewery. I would have never known this place…read moreexisted if it weren't for Google. It's tucked away in an industrial area. Parking is okay, spots are a tad bit limited but we found a spot just fine mid-day. Outside, there is a play area for kids across from the bar. We wanted to sit outside but it was pretty busy with families so we opted for indoor seating. The inside is pretty open and spacious with plenty of seating. I ordered a flight which was a great way to sample some of the selection. Overall, the beers were good, but not memorable. There was karaoke when we went. It was quite loud and we ended up having to shout at each other to hear one another. Again, this was mid-day, so it was odd to have karaoke going. There were quite a few kids running around, too. One of my biggest complaints about bars in this area is that too many allow kids. My husband and I are DINKS and would love to find a place that's adults-only but it's kind of hard to come by these days. I also personally think it's safer to just leave the kids at home if you're under the influence but that's just my two cents. If you are the type to bring the whole family to the bar for day drinking, you'll enjoy Compass Rose. I think I'll try them again but I'm still on the search for an authentic no-kids allowed bar. Maybe next time, I'll sit in the actual brewery section and see how that goes.

There was a ton of indoor and outdoor seating, not including the extra tables and chairs that were brought out for the festival. I will most definitely be back when the time comes!
