Great beers! Great atmosphere! I'm in town every other year for a class and this is a guaranteed stop! They host neat little community events like plant sales, artist shows, paint & sip, etc. This time it was a grown up book fair! We love to sit by the river. So nice! read more

Excellent beer and a nice spot to enjoy it next to the river. Bar service was pretty quick. Solid pours.

Wonderful IPA beer, friendly staff, clean venue and s great relaxation by the river. The only disappointment was the food truck on my visit- It had the name Chili and was Mexican food. What is annoying is when the signs for products are not professional made and you can tell a sharpie has been used to change prices a few times- nothing worse then knowing you could of had your food cheaper in the past. Great beer and tap house though just hope they get better food trucks read more

We always make time on our visits to stop by Innovation Station. After Concerts on the Creek in Sylva, my husband and I decided to extend our evening out here. I enjoyed a ginger beer, while my husband enjoyed a cider. We sat out on the picnic tables and enjoyed listening to the river and watching the lightning bugs. We even visited with a family who was also vacationing nearby. The bartender was knowledgeable and friendly. We left with a couple shirts, stickers, and metal sign for our game room at home. Looking forward to our next visit in December! read more

Great atmosphere by the river. Good solid beer selection. Go to the bar to order your beer. No food but plenty of restaurants nearby and they had a food truck. Got a flight of sour red, nitro Irish stout, peach a peno, paws Pilsner. Liked all of them. Fun place to spend a Friday afternoon. Lots of parking. read more

Innovation Station - Nice outdoor area by the river. - Breweries Near Me - Dillsboro, North Carolina

Decent selection of their own beers, but none particularly notable. No liquor and no food, but there is a food truck just outside. Indoor and outdoor seating, with nice river view on one side. Staff were okay. Only thing was, both days we were in Dillsboro and visited there, they were playing loud rap music over the speakers, and this to 100% white, middle-aged and senior customers with their children and grandchildren, none of whom wanted to listen to that. This caused me to leave after one drink on both occasions and use the nearby tavern instead. read more

Food truck typically here, huge open spaces for plenty of guests. They have a lot of merch for sale and it seems they have a lot of cool events going on. When we got here it was Taylor Swift trivia - so cool! Staff were very friendly and helpful with letting us try different samples. read more

Stopped in after dinner in the area because it looked like a great space. Plenty of beer and drink options, but honestly nothing that I loved. The hazy IPA was very thick and hard to get down. The Oktoberfest was nothing special. I should have tried a slushy! No food here, not much seating inside but plenty outside. The night we went there was some kind of party going on so it was a bit obnoxious. I thought it was both weird and hilarious that Bob Ross was playing on the TV at the bar?! Not my favorite place or beer in the area but glad we checked it out. read more

My wife and I had a layover in Dillsboro for an hour. We took the Great Smokey Mountain Railroad train (which was awesome, and I left a review for them). Anyways, I highly recommend stopping here for a drink. The staff is extremely friendly. They'll let you sample a beer before you buy it if you choose. I just wish we had more time there, and wish there were more places like this one! read more

We recently attended their Oktoberfest- super fun! The entertainment was great, great drinks, and such a beautiful weather atmosphere. We always end up meeting new friends and joining old ones. See you next time we are in town. The servers are super friendly and kind - great job! read more

Great cider, great vibes and ample parking. Would recommend this place if looking for somewhere to relax in town.

Nice outdoor seating area, good selection of beverages. Don't forget to try their ginger ale or kombucha. Pet friendly. Access to Dillsboro is currently a tad dicey due to road construction. Drive carefully. read more

Nice spot. Great beer and great place to relax by the creek. No food, but there are a few good food spots very close by where you can pick up and bring here to eat. Worth a visit if you're in the area. read more

Has atmosphere as well as a variety of ales, ciders, wines and non-alcoholic beverages. Service is excellent, with complimentary tastings to determine what is best for YOU! Pinot Grigio was good, but the Bold Rock Apple Cider was my choice for its extra sweetness. Friends got the Bear Lake Brown and a number 19, both satisfying for them. Not sweet. (Baby changing station in each of two uni-sex bathrooms.) read more

We wandered in on a rainy Sunday afternoon great staff helped us with selections and local dining. Outdoor deck overlooks a creek wit beer stools and an elbow bar. read more

Great local brewery! We were pleasantly surprised at the quality and amount of beers on tap for this small town brewery. We each ordered a flight, 4 beers. They also have wine on tap for those non beer drinkers. Plenty of outdoor seating, a small portion of which overlooks a river (creek??). Their bathrooms are clean and nice. My favorite was the double IPA. read more

There is also a small restaurant that's connected that will deliver the food to after you walk and order there! If you have not been I suggest you go on your next day off! read more
