This is one of the best bar experiences I’ve ever had. The food was incredible especially the potato chip nachos. Everyone loved what they had. The bar itself was nice with good seating, ambience and a variety of different seating types. Perfect to watch a game or hangout with friends. Our servers Aidan and Hailey were amazing they were so helpful and kind. We never felt rushed and they were very attentive to our needs!

I was really disappointed during my recent visit to The Brewery. While the food was good, it took our server almost 15 mins to greet us, and the state of the menus were absolutely unacceptable. The paper menus were filthy, stained, and clearly not being maintained properly. The main menus had food stuck to them and the beer menu looked like someone bit the top of it. It’s honestly shocking that in 2025, a place like this in a college town is still using paper menus in such poor condition.
This is not a minor issue, it really impacts the overall experience. There’s no reason for a restaurant to have menus that look and feel so gross. It would be a huge improvement if they switched to laminated menus or something more hygienic and durable. Not to mention, switching to something other than paper menus would be a more sustainable, eco-friendly choice.
My family and I won’t be returning unless they make some serious changes to how they handle this basic part of the dining experience. Hoping they make improvements soon!

Gameday for early lunch. Not very busy, but service was super slow. Food was ok. Not great quality. Beer wasn’t great. Hostess vaping at the front should have tipped me off.

I was at this spot on Saturday before the UNC-Duke game. There is no place I would rather be on GameDay! There was so much energy in this place. I got great service from both Logan and Wells. They had many tables but worked hard and also had a great attitude as well. I ordered the biscuits and gravy. I don’t order order this dish in a restaurant often because I have high standards for this classic dish but I am so glad I did! It’s hard to find this caliber of made from Scratch food inside a Brewery but that’s exactly the experience I had. What a great time and some great food!

We got a quick bite before a basketball game and this spot was awesome. We got seated quickly and all the staff were so personable despite the restaurant being busy. The food was really good and Jerome our waiter made the experience that much better. His recommendations were on point and he connected with all of us making our experience really enjoyable. 5 stars for Carolina Brewery!

Wells was our server and he did not disappoint. We never had to ask for anything. This restaurant is live and the pride of UNC chapel thrill shines through here. This is a great place to meet new people, catch a game, and the location is central to everything. Carolina Burger with pimento cheese and Carolina Gold sauce is hands down the best burger that I’ve ever had. The harissa chicken with hummus, tzatziki sauce, chicken, pita, and veggies is a wholesome option that won’t let you down. Great place and I highly recommend.

We are from TCU, Go Frogs! and came in here to watch the Ohio State | UT game. We were still on Texas time, so we showed up an hour earlier (uhhhg) than we intended. Phillip and Ally were SO MUCH FUN. The hour flew by! Lettuce wraps and burger were delicious. Beer (and coffee ☕️) and beermosas hit the spot. And the best was the open air! Beautiful day with fresh air and tons of TVs to watch your favorite games!
