    Pretty cool place, cold craft beer and a cool vibe. You can even bring your dog in if you want. Folks are pretty nice and welcoming as well.

    Second time visiting the area took an opportunity to catch their Christmas Eve sing along. Really cool fun group of people. It's a dry county co keep that in mind , beer and wine only , no hard liqueur.

    This review is overdue. Highly recommend for a drink especially after a long hike. They have all kinds of craft beer options as well as some non beer items. Food next door is all amazing. They have some amazing pretzels, nachos and tacos. Environment is casual. There is indoor and outdoor areas. Pet friendly. The indoor area is your basic bar environment with pub tables and bar. The outside has large picnic stye tables. Drinks are ordered at the bar and there is an outside walk up area to order your food. There is no wait staff, it is all self service.

    I love this place. Like a cozy cabin with great beer, dog friendly, games, music. Mexican food available from Grey Eagle Taco. Get the carnitas quesadillas & guacamole! SOOO GOOD! Beer: a bunch but i get a Hunker Down! Yum! Outdoor space with flowers and live music often. Just can't say enough awesome dogs Bartender and singer, Paige!!!

    This place is so so great. We ended up going again today because we enjoyed it so much yesterday. Such a comfortable atmosphere - the staff and the patrons are so friendly & the beer is delicious. This is a gem for Hot Springs! Bigfoot had a great time too!

    Mixed flight... Irish red was my favorite

    A good variety of beers on tap brewed locally and lots of others in cans are available. Great laid back vibe here, I could have stayed all day. The staff was great! Pet and child friendly with lots of outdoor seating.

    Beers good. The seating inside out is comfy and adequate. We did not try out the food but can recommend the beer on a hot sticky day

It's now under new ownership and there are changes to the menu, but in a good way. It now has Asian items on the menu, which I'm excited to try next time. My husband and I had the smash burgers, which were excellent. The fries were crispy and delicious. My son had the 4 oz sirloin and collard greens. His steak was cooked perfectly and the collards were some of the best we have had! There is no liquor by the drink sales in Hot Springs, so I was impressed by the sake margarita. I'll be craving that again for sure! The ambiance of this place is different since the flood. I hated that the original bar, floors, and booths got destroyed, but they did a very good job with the decor. The bar is much bigger now and the space feels more open. This place is run by a sweet family that recently moved here. It seems like everyone pitches in. I'm excited to stay in the inn. I hope they do well so they can expand. We will definitely be back to support!

The Madison County Courthouse is temporarily closed due to the water damage but the structure is still standing. On my way back to where I parked, I spotted this place and stopped in. I bought a beer - not much in the way of support, but I am back on keto and not eating pizza no matter how awesome it smells/looks - and opted to write this review immediately. As I'm typing, another customer asked the beertender about the storm. He pointed to the piece of black tape marking high water line on the wall. It's about NINE FEET off the ground. I included a picture. The leaves up here are just about starting to change. If you're thinking of leaf peeping and heading through the North Carolina mountains, don't miss out on Mad Co. Brew House. Firstly, their Pilsner is excellent. Second, they need the support. [Review 1124 of 2025 - 4371 in North Carolina - 24677 overall]
