I didn't shop in the store but instead stopped in for a beer. It has lots of outdoor seating on picnic tables. Dog friendly. A good place to take a break while walking around downtown. Staff was very nice and beer was good. read more

Bryson City Outdoors - Outdoor seating area - Outdoor Gear Near Me - Bryson City, North Carolina

BLUF: A store featuring quality outdoor gear that is uniquely connected to a taproom. Generally the best stores in Bryson City are on Main Street, not Everett Street. Specifically, I am a big fan of the BC stores including BC Outdoors, BC Market on the Square and BC Bakery. Regarding Bryson City Outdoors, they are connected to a tap hours so gear on the left and beer on the right. What's not to love? If you don't love beer they have wine too! Much to my surprise, I skipped the beer and went for gear. After perusing fleece jackets, hiking shoes, headlamps and the such, I landed on a new pair of socks. Not that I needed anything but the employees were so kind I just had to support this local business somehow. Hmm, maybe I should have gotten a pint after all. Lots of good stuff and quality brands for the whole family - all nicely organized. Overall, a great place located on the corner of Main Street and Everett. Most definitely one of the best stores in town. read more

Bryson City Outdoors is a town favorite. Visitors love to hang out on patio and Bryson City Outdoors is happy to serve them.

Spent a week in Bryson City this summer and kept coming back to Bryson City Outdoors! My family (including two kids ages 3 and 7) especially loved the patio -- adults were happy trying out the craft beer menu, with water on tap for kids + free (and for purchase) snacks! We made friends with the lovely employee as well as some of the other patrons. Dog friendly, kid friendly, and a very chill vibe. The shop inside has a great selection of outdoor gear, clothes, boots, shoes, hats, and more. But really -- the patio! Such a gem. read more

I absolutely loved this establishment. Came here to check for great sales since I was in the area. This store has everything an outdoorsman would love from great footwear to attractive apparel, impressive and unique outdoor gear I've never seen before. Prices are fairly modest, the bar that's attached as well feels like such a hidden gem simply because it has a great selection of local drinks on tap including non alcoholic products and the stuff I really like not on tap is also in store on their shelves I can buy to go. People are really warm and receptive here. Highly suggest coming here! read more

BCO is amazing! Great selection of beers on tap, with even more in cans and bottles!!! Patio is a great place to relax and enjoy great company! read more

Folks here are so friendly! Gave me a great recommendation for a trail to check out while here visiting. Can't beat down to earth folks!

Well kept store with lots of outdoor gear and footwear. Got a great pair of hiking shoes at a good price. Staff was very friendly as well.

Very friendly helpful staff and a great selection of outdoor equipment, boots, and shoes; this place has it all. I'll add, a great little spot to enjoy a nice hoppy beer on a mountain afternoon or morning if you are so inclined. read more

This is a sweet setup; outdoor/backpacking gear and beer?! Hell yeah! Came here with my father in law who ruined his hiking shoes on the trail. He picked up a new pair and then we went next-door and had a a couple beers. The woman behind the bar was one of the owners and was awesome. Good selection, good prices. Check it out. read more

Obsessed with everything about this place!! Lots of outdoor gear & wonderful staff. Attached brewery is adorable.

This place rocks. Taproom is tops! Friendly folks and reasonably priced brews. Avoid the crowds and relax

Good stop in Bryson City ! It's a little store / beer tap room. Outside there's lots of different seating ! High top tables and also picnic tables with shade. It's right off the road in front of the fire department. It's such a small little town feel. I tried the CiderBoys peach cider .... YUM. I'll take 5 more please ! They have different beers on tap , I think there was maybe 8-9 if I can remember right. My cider was so delicious! I was happy since I'm a cider type person and not really into the IPAs or dark beers. Which they also had ! It's a cute little sunny spot and I like that it has a small town vibe. Definitely stop if you're passing through or staying in town! Only thing that would of made it better is maybe corn hole or outside games ! It would be perfect for that.

Great selection of local beer on tap with good out door sitting. Different food trucks for good food and lots of outdoor gear

A great outdoor store and taproom; brilliant! They have a large covered patio to sit and relax on and rotating craft beers on tap. We only had beers, but they have a food truck parked in front if you are hungry. It's a nice place to relax! read more

What an awesome place! Cool gear, decent prices and a really neat location. The owner, Brett, took time out of a busy Saturday to ask us where we were from and talk to us for a few minutes. Really great guy! The young lady at the cash register was also super nice and welcoming. Will definitely visit again!!! read more

Great gear, fabulous craft beer with indoor/outdoor seating, helpful and professional staff, variety of food trucks across the street Don't miss it if in BC NC read more

Lovely oasis in Bryson City! We were traveling with our dog and were happy to find that this place not only says they are dog friendly online but was super adamant about it in person. Trying to walk out with a beer, slushie, and my excited dog I spilled a bit on the floor (sorry!), but the bartender was super kind and understanding, helping to clean up our little mess with no fuss - thank you! The beer selection was stellar. My boyfriend tried two half pints of different local IPAs and I opted for two half pints of their wine slushies. For slushies you can get Peach or Strawberry. Both were delicious but I preferred the peach because it was a little less sweet. Great selection of outdoor gear and their branded shirts were well done and classy - we ended up getting one for a family member. There was also a delicious Mexican food truck parked outside as well which just topped it all off. Check this place out if you are in town! read more

Great selection of outdoor gear and clothing with some very cool designs. Super friendly staff. The best part of the experience was the great selection of local draft beers and choices of beers on taps. It's fresh and varied. The real star of the show is Liz and her awesome and helpful beer knowledge! Be sure to stop by and say hi! Super friendly and extremely helpful, which made us want to keep going back! Also check for the beer tasting events which are free and awesome. We were in town in time to check one out and were grateful we were as we found some new favorites. Highly recommended if you're in town or a regular. Added bonus that you can have a beer while lounging in a hammock as well! read more

Beer selection is always excellent. Good turnover, they never seem to have the same beers when ever I go. Various food trucks park outside and you can eat/drink outside. Chilli Chomper is the best food truck that parks there imho. I like the place. read more

Popped in after a tubing day with the fam. Excellent beer selection and the food truck sweet cheesus was great. Relaxed vibes and the "gear" coupled with the beer made for a nice afternoon. Will come back. read more

We love BCO! We live in SC but end up in the area once or twice a year and always enjoy stopping by for beers and the occasional gear purchase. The staff is friendly and the patio is always inviting! read more

Super cool spot with great beer! Also the food truck Big Laurel parked up front was the type of food that makes you wanna dance as you eat. Love this place and highly recommend! read more

Visited Bryson City for 4 days and spent every evening at this little bar. Good staff, great regular locals. They have local beers on tap as well as singles available. Looking forward to visiting again. read more

As an outfitter they appear to have most of the basics and they have a great selection of hats, stickers and t-shirts for the tourist appetite. The craft beer side had a great selection of beers on tap and a large number of cans and bottles in the cooler. The vibe is mostly tourist and out of towner with perhaps some locals mixed in drinking craft beer. The patio was large and nicely shaded and the bar was small but nice. The staff were friendly and helpful. Definitely a good place to stop off in town for a cool drink and a souvenir. read more

Very cool set up here. I really like their gear. Right next-door, there is a tap room which also sells local craft brews in cans and bottles to go. Not the largest selection of beers but they keep it local. read more

Excellent customer service, the reason for the two stars. My complaint? Over 14 dollars for a six pack of local craft beer that I can get at Ingles for less than 10 bucks. Are you flippin' kidding me? Nearly 22 bucks for two stickers and a sixer is a rip off. It won't happen again. It's a shame. Super cool store, horrible prices. UPDATE: removing the two star review. The owner contacted me personally and explained the mistake in beer pricing. Furthermore he made it right by correcting said mistake. You can hardly ask for more. I will tell you, Bryson City Outdoors is a super cool store that I have frequented when visiting town. I own a cabin nearby and have purchased several items from the main store and have been very happy. The craft beer store has an amazing selection and now that the pricing issue has been corrected, I won't have an issue purchasing from them in the future. Thanks Ben for addressing the issue. That's real customer service. read more

Awesome and convenient outdoors store...multiple shirts with cool designs, good selection of footwear to choose from, great selection of socks and travel packs...the only drawback is the lack of clothing if you forget something necessary for hiking...staff is super knowledgeable about local hiking...also the taproom is awesome! read more

We rented two boards for a full day with BCO for a day on Lake Santeetlah and had an awesome time. The boards were great for exploring, exercise, or as a platform to jump off. Dwayne was very helpful. He met us at our car and strapped the boards down and provided some tips on how to use the boards. Life jackets (including kids) were provided. We had such a great time that we rented later in the week and went to the "Finger Lakes" area of Lake Fontana just down the road from BCO. read more

Maybe the coolest store in town. They stock a fantastic selection of gear for such a small shop and the people are singularly friendly, knowledgeable, and helpful. Huge selection of totally cool hats which they design themselves and, best of all, their sister store next door has huge collection of craft beers. If you're at all interested in the outdoors or craft beer, stop in and say hi. And peruse their hat collection. Remember, life is best lived outside. read more
