    Great decor with a beautiful stained concrete floor. The swirls around their logo remind me of a hurricane symbol.

    New to the New Bern scene, Freshwater is a neighborhood corner service station converted into a taproom featuring small batch & craft beer. Plus wine on tap which is a great alternative for those who prefer something other than beer Fun, casual environment that's kid & pet friendly. Plus they have picnic tables outside of the roll up garage doors which enhance the laid back atmosphere. On Thursdays, the feature craft beers for $2.00 off. I also hear they're working on their own Freshwater beer. Owners Brandon & Tia have created a nice casual spot to grab a beer or two. Cheers!

    Nice little beer shop. Good selection of beers, a cider and some wine available also. Very comfortable place to go and get a drink, but the service was average, and there is only one bathroom that I saw. I wasn't overly impressed, but due to the number of people there, the place is very popular. I will definitely return, but was not blown away on my visit.

    The details are perfext

    This is a chill place to get a beer and hang with friends. The interior is truly beautiful! They put such thought into the design of this place. They have a wide selection of beer from several breweries and they will let you sample quite a few. What I really appreciate is you can get 5 ounce pour up to a pint. I like this because it allows you to try several beers without worrying about drinking too much.

    This place is awesome! Couldn't have more friendlier staff and their different selections of beer and other drinks is top notch. If you don't have fun here you're hanging with the wrong crowd. Love all the different events and clubs that meet up here from car shows, running club, or live music, there's always something to do. If you're looking for a nice night out with the family or your date stop by you won't be disappointed. Keep up the great work Freshwater the community is lucky to have you in the area!

    Freshwater was a fabulous taproom to hang out for an hour or so while I passed the time waiting to meet up with my friend in downtown.

    The beer tender was so impatient, she walked away as I was pulling out my card to pay. She walked…read moreaway from anyone who took more than 2 seconds, which would be understandable if it was really busy, but there were only 5 of us at the bar. Beer was good. Lots of really good options, as well as flights. I do like that you can get a taster, half pint, or full pint. They also have to go cans. I did not appreciate that they use only plastic cups, especially being so close to the beach. They are dog friendly.

    Finally, someone has a good idea for what to do with any of these "Wings" and "Waves" beach outlet…read morestores when they go out of business... turn them into breweries! I love that's what happened here, and the building is now infinitely better for it. This was a good stop for us as we passed a little time before needing to leave for the next ferry to Minnesott beach. There's a good selection of house brews, and even though I got to try one of them, I was pleased with it. Right now, I cannot recall the name of it, which in unfortunate. Now, the great part about this being a converted wings is also offset by the fact... it's a converted wings. It was pretty warm in there and im sure that has a lot to do with the large frontal glass and the greenhouse effect. I'd consider a big tint job if I were them. There was an area to the right where you could kick back a little as opposed to just posting up on some stools, and there was also a small area around back if you wanted to be outside. The back area is very basic, but really, i cant imagine you come here to sit outside. If you want to do that, get some beers to go and go sit on the beach! Overall, I need to come back and try a few more things, but I would definitely return. Great place in Atlantic beach to have a drink!
