    Absolutely phenomenal spot sitting atop a perfectly located plaza overlooking the train tracks and downtown Blue Ridge! Whether you are bellying up to the bar inside to watch the brewing happen live, or bellying up to the railing outside to watch the happenings of downtown...you are in a good spot, with good beer and good folks! Popped in to Tipping Point Brewing during our weekend in Blue Ridge and it quickly became a favorite of ours! The space is bright, open and well mapped out with seating, serving areas, the exposed brewery and a swag wall. If inside isn't your thing, then pop outside to several tables and railing seating where many of them sit in the shade! We ended up outside at a table for our first beer and then moved to the railing for our second. Beer wise, Tipping Point offers 16 rotating beers from the light to dark, to the bitter to sour. I opted for the Locals Lager and the partner scooped up the Hip Hops Anonymous. Both were delightful, but the lager was simple, yet complex and refreshing...a perfect beer to have in hand to watch the finish of that FSU vs. Clemson game! In addition to the beers, they offer a "U Pick" seltzer option where you get to add your own flavor based on the syrups/flavorings they have. We did not partake, but was a pretty cool option! I want to add about parking, as this plaza is attached to the paid double decker lot just off of Main Street, which makes a perfect and well-priced spot to drop the car before exploring downtown. Overall, Tipping Point Brewing is a great gem atop downtown Blue Ridge! A spot we will definitely revisit next time we are in town!

    Go here! I LOVED the 2nd floor outdoor seating overlooking downtown. There were barstool and picnic table options. Sun or shade. A perfect place to relax for a few minutes. Oh, and the IPA beer was great. They also had a choose-your-own-adventure situation with seltzer (add flavor to plain alcoholic seltzer), NA options, and even some capri suns and kid options in the cooler. The staff was friendly and offered to let us try the beer. It was fairly empty on a Saturday around 1pm, but packed when we left an hour later - right as a band was setting up. Fun! The only warning to true brewery fans is this is a very new and modern building. Not really a classic "brewery" vibe. You can see the tiny tanks in the pics. But I'd this doesn't bother you, I 100% recommend!!

    We came here during the grand opening. It's a very nice place with a friendly staff and good beers. We had the Joy Juice hazy IPA and the Push Over session IPA. Both were good but not traditional hazy IPA and session. Push Over has a bit of a nutty taste which is unusual for a session. The Joy Juice was good but is a little dry and not fruity or tropical. More of a NE IPA. I wish them the best as they build their business and contribute to the Georgia beer scene.

    I IPA and my wife's seltzer was good. I wish they had more than IPA's on the menu, but for a smaller brewery and from what I gathered recently opened it was a solid place to hangout and have a drink.

    Excellent seating outside in the shade. Had the Hazy IPA and was one of the best I've had every. Will be back whenever in town.

    Enjoyed a Friday evening beer(s) with live music outside. Had the Hitchhiker's Guide Galaxy Smash IPA and a Trackside Lager (with BBQ from the restaurant next door). Thoroughly enjoyed everything. Will definitely be stopping by the next time we're in Blue Ridge.

    Great beer. Dogs are allowed and food can be brought in from nearby restaurants. What's not to like?

    Well I apologize for the very long delay on submitting this review. Yanno life gets in the way…read more.. Anyhoo, this place.... Wow... Really really enjoy this establishment. Not only it was on my birthday in which we celebrated. But our excursion to the mountains for the long weekend was a fantastic time. As you can see through the pictures we really went all the way my dish was as abundance of seafood that you could have with an amazing cioppino sauce that was also soppable with crusty garlic bread. The beverages were on point, they have a great menu of bourbons. Will not disappoint. As a surprise they gave me a flourless chocolate Bundt cake to take home with a candle. Being with the family is always a warm unforgettable experience. There is something to be said about being surrounded by people who care and love so much. I'm in bliss. Until next time ...

    We recently visited Whiskey and Water Seafood and Bourbon Bar and had an overall enjoyable…read moreexperience with a few standout items. For drinks, the Sweater Weather was the clear winner--well-balanced and thoughtfully crafted. The combination of Bulleit rye, La Pommiere Calvados, and sorghum created a smooth, seasonal cocktail with nice depth. The Properly Poached was decent but didn't quite impress in the same way; the Brugal Añejo, pear liqueur, dark wildflower honey, and pink salt made for an interesting profile, though it leaned a bit flat compared to the first cocktail. We started with the broiled sweet crab dip served fondue-style with pita chips, which was a great opener. It was warm, creamy, and rich, with good crab flavor that made it easy to keep going back for more. For entrées, the blackened mahi fish tacos were fresh and flavorful. The mango pico added a nice brightness, and the cilantro crema tied everything together nicely on the corn tortillas. The smash burger was another solid choice--juicy double patties with melted American cheese, crispy onion rings, house sauce, and house-made pickles that added a great tangy crunch. Service was ok waitress took a bit to bring the drinks and then the food took about 30+ minutes luckily we were entertained by talking to locals that we really weren't concerned. Overall, the restaurant delivers a pleasant upscale-casual dining experience with well-executed comfort favorites and creative cocktails. Definitely worth a visit, especially for the crab dip and the Sweater Weather cocktail and the fish tacos those were my overall favorites. Prices are mid range. Note that the restaurant as most restaurants in the Blue Ridge close early.

Outside it has some beautiful views worth stopping for a photo and stopping at the bakery inside for some fried pies and cider donuts are a must!

From the moment you arrive, you can tell Mercier Orchards is something special. There is so much packed into this one location that it almost feels like a small village built around apples and everything that comes with them. Inside the main store, the selection is honestly overwhelming in the best way possible -- home goods, gifts, jams, jellies, preserves, baking mixes, sauces, butters, ciders... anything and everything apple-related, plus plenty of other fruit-based goodies. It's the kind of place where you say "I'm just going to browse" and then walk out with bags of stuff you didn't know you needed. Then there's the bakery. Seven lines. All long. And all moving surprisingly well. I eventually stepped out of line after about 15 minutes, but not before getting a solid look at the pastries, pies, breads, and desserts -- everything looked incredible. Even without buying anything that round, the bakery alone is worth the stop. Now let's talk about the apple picking experience -- because this is where the magic really happens. Riding out on a trailer attached to a tractor felt like something straight out of a fall movie. The views, the air, the vibe -- it's peaceful, exciting, and nostalgic all at the same time. The apples change with the season, and the ones we picked were delicious and lasted a long time. No pesticides, just straight calcium. Fresh, crisp, and perfect. And yes... get a bag or three like I did. You're going to want them. The entire place also makes for amazing photo opportunities. Whether it's the orchard, the tractor ride, the store, or the scenery -- this is one of those spots where your camera roll is guaranteed to fill up. The only negative moment of the day happened when I went to grab some cider and one of the guys behind the counter completely ignored me. I actually had to call him out -- like, "Did you not see me standing here?" Not great. But that one interaction couldn't even come close to outweighing everything else this place offers. Bottom line: If you're anywhere in the area -- or even thinking about making a day trip -- you absolutely have to go. It's a little off the beaten path, so I don't expect most people to just "stumble" upon it... but if you plan it, you won't regret it. This is an experience, not just a stop.
