The bar line always moves quickly and their signage is very clear regarding where to place/pickup food orders. This is a classic Durham spot and I frequently bring visitors here for a casual weeknight za and drink! I docked one star because parking here is always a nightmare. Try to avoid parking on the side street in front of the brewery as it can be really difficult to get out. I tend to avoid this spot on the weekends as it gets crowded fairly quickly.

We have many breweries closer to home but we drive 30 minutes out of our way for the pizza. I always tip them well even though they don't serve you. Today when I went to pick up our pizza, one of the staff members was rude and snarky towards me. I don't driver 30 minutes out of my way for that. I will patronize a local business that's closer to me next time.

Brewery #455 Atomic…read moreClock Brewing is a very nice place that had very good beer, particularly their hazies. I got a flight of beer and ordered a Beef on Wick with fries. The bartender while nice was kind of flighty, just lacked awareness of the amount of people waiting to get beer. My flight consisted of A Belgian, Schrodinger's Pale Ale, and 2 hazy IPAs. The Critical Mass (DIPA) and Atomichron (hazy) were both phenomenal. Then we waited almost an hour for the Beef on Wick to come out. It's literally just a roast beef sandwich with fries. The food was great, but the wait was insane. Great beer, good food, nice people but just not in any kind of hurry.

My friends convinced me to give this place a second chance. I knew I should have said no but they…read morewere so adamant about it and I thought maybe it would be better this time. I was wrong. So wrong. This place is the absolute worst. It's so unfortunate because the place is beautiful and has potential. I've learned my lesson and there will not be a third time. We attempted to sit at a table for 8 but the chairs are oversized and the tables are far too close together. We had to remove two chairs to even attempt to slide across the chairs because you cannot pull them out to sit down. It's extremely difficult and uncomfortable to have to slide all the way out to let people in and out. Not user friendly at all. I wanted to order a beer but just like last time they didn't have any beer I'd ever drink which is saying a lot as I will drink anything that's not an IPA or super yellow. So I ordered the Rosè margarita but the male bartender told me they were out of that drink. Impossible. I could see both rosè and tequila from where I was standing. A female bartender overheard the male bartender lying to me and she said she would make the margarita for me. Hmmmmmmmm. So one honest bartender and one who lies because he only wants to pour beers. Thanks for solidifying that I was right to say I'd never be back to this awful establishment.

It's friendly and it's relaxed. We sat at the bar and were well served and had a good time. We started off with the jalapeno poppers which were tasty even if they didn't have much hot to them. Five stuffed jalapeno peppers which were tasty but unspicy. The buttermilk dip on the side is great for cooling down the heat but it wasn't needed today. It's super that they pour half pint beers which was a real plus when you're just looking for tastes and not a huge meal. The burgers did look tremendous and well presented with a 6 ounce patty, which is a bit more than a third of a pound making for a big meal. Too much for us on this trip today, but I am sure that I'll be back. [Review 1161 of 2026 - 4810 in North Carolina - 26340 overall]

Oh my! The medium well done burger was cooked and seasoned to perfection and sat atop a bed of some really good and guilt-laden fries. I chose to pour the cheese sauce on top and it was a smart move.
