    After a day of hiking, it was a no brainer to find a place nearby for a tasty beverage. I've been wanting to try Green Heron for sometime but never had the chance until recently. Such a vibe! Having drinks on the water while hanging out on the covered deck was amazing! Service was awesome and I loved chatting with the owner. It was a fun time and we can't wait to be back!

    Cool bar to drink a beer/cider w friends after a morning of hiking. The bartender was very helpful and nice. She also has a sweet German Shepherd. Tables outdoors to enjoy the river view, and picnic tables on the side of the building.

    Along the banks of the Dan River in Danbury, NC, a short drive down a bumpy dirt road, you will find the Green Heron. Dogs run off-leash, kayaks float by lazily on the river, and people can choose from one of 20 beers and 8 wines on tap, aided by the affable bartenders. It's as laid back as laid back gets, somewhat tempered by the heat, or perhaps things slow down because of the calming effect of the river. Located just 2 miles from the front gate of Hanging Rock State Park, its in the perfect location to stop by after a day of hiking or kayaking, or an easy destination drive from the Triad. (40 minutes from Winston-Salem, and 60 minutes from Greensboro.) They often have live music, but always have cold A/C on the inside, and great views of the river on the outside. It's tin roof, rusted. It's the Green Dragon on the Bywater. There is no phone reception here, no TV blaring sports or politics either. Leave your phone in the car, grab a locally brewed beer, and listen to the river, listen to your friends, listen to the hounds baying, listen to someone singing and playing guitar, or listen to your own thoughts as the river drifts slowly by. (Ok, so they do have free WiFi, but I STILL recommend leaving your phone in the car.)

All-in-all, good brewery... The beer is respectable; it's not the best craft beer you will find, but for the Martinsville area, it's solid brew (we really liked their DIPA). The brewery is a veteran-owned joint and has a chill vibe... It's small, nicely designed, and has decent service (not great, but not bad). We'll stop back in again when in town.

I met Jake today, he is one of the owners and is an amazing person who is passionate about the quality of beer served. Does everyone really know what craft beer is?? Craft breweries aren't like the macrobreweries churning out billions of gallons of beer in a year. They usually care much more about how their brews taste, and they will take their time making sure that the end result is an adventure. If you haven't checked out a local craft brewery yet, you might be surprised just how creative beers can be. The beers I tried, The Lawn Mower is light American lager that you can drink all day. DA 'RONA is SCUFFLE HILLS take on a Mexican Cerveza. Pairs perfect with a lime. The Big Chair: OMG, this is the clear winner and one of the best beers I have tasted. The El Dorado and Huell melon makes this a beer that I can be happy with every day. Again, stop in, support your service members and bring a new vibe to Collinsville area.

She made a good recommendation when I asked for a cider. They don't serve food but the service was amazing. Bar and bathrooms very clean. They have a selection of alcoholic beverages.

The vibe is warm and laid-back, with cozy couches, plenty of tables for groups or families, and four TVs so you can catch whatever game you're into. Their rotating draft list is always on point, and I love that tap #1 is always a cider, a thoughtful touch for those who like to switch things up. The cooler is packed with even more options in cans and bottles, so there's always something new to discover including CBD and Seltzer options, and if beer's not your thing, they've got cocktails priced right in line with other local spots. Terminal Tap also keeps things lively with Music Bingo on Mondays (shoutout to DJ Ok and Isaac!), Trivia on Thursdays (Let's go Mike and Katherine), and a steady lineup of community events, charity fundraisers, and local meetups. Dogs are welcome on leash, adding to the neighborhood charm. While they don't serve food, you're welcome to bring your own -- I even made ramen with friends during a recent trivia night! Whether you're a craft beer enthusiast or just looking for a friendly, place to unwind, Terminal Tap is absolutely worth checking out. Bonus they dress up the place seasonally too. Cheers!

    Please do not patronize Creek Bottom Brewing…read more It is not a safe place for women or children. Creek Bottom is at the center of a local controversy involving a young man named William Ayers. In 2023, Ayers was convicted of child rape (carnal knowledge of a child) and abduction. He was released from prison last year, back into our community. Upon his release, Creek Bottom Brewing began employing him to work in the brewery--as a known convicted child sex offender. In February, while working for Creek Bottom, Ayers was arrested AGAIN for ANOTHER sexual assault, strangulation, brandishing a firearm, and abduction by force. It got a little media attention as the "Valentine's Day Rape." Recently added to his list of charges is possession of child porn and sexual abuse of an animal. Where does Creek Bottom come in, beyond offering a job to a known child sex offender? William Ayers' parents are the owners of Creek Bottom. They made the choice to employ him at their brewery, along with their many young women employees and the families who visit the restaurant. Our dollars spent at the brewery unwittingly went directly towards Ayers' paycheck. Many community members feel that Creek Bottom's owners have made horrendous decisions that endanger our community by choosing to have their son employed at the brewery, and by supporting/enabling him in other ways. It is readily apparent that Ayers' parents employ pricey high-powered out-of-town attorneys to defend their son from his charges. (Courtroom interactions between those attorneys and the father of William Ayers reinforce this, with the attorneys pulling Daddy Ayers aside for extended conferencing before making motions.) A couple of days ago, Ayers was offered bail set at $900,000. That means that if his supporters/enablers come up with a $90k bail bond agent fee, or $900k on their own, Ayers will AGAIN be released into our community. All of this is a matter of public record: past convictions, state sex offender registry that showed Ayers working at Creek Bottom until his latest arrest, ownership of Creek Bottom, recent charges, and ongoing court case with private legal defense. All members of our community can and should make their own INFORMED choices here. Sending your money in Creek Bottom's direction could literally help lead to this individual being released into our community once again. Endanger the wealth that is supporting him, and we may be able to make a real difference for community safety. Please don't unwittingly contribute to a William Ayers legal defense fund or to bailing him out to walk among us again. If you see fit, stand by us in this effort.

    We stopped in after a hockey game on a Saturday night to check this place out as it was on our…read moreroute home. We have always wanted to try this place out seeing it many times off of the roadway and it looked interesting because it was a converted gas station. As we parked and approached campus gas we noted that there was plenty of outdoor seating, primarily wooden benches, tables and places to lounge around outside near the fire pit. There were people enjoying a drink and playing a lively game of cornhole. We strolled around then went inside to explore what the business had to offer in the way of drinks and maybe get something to eat. As it turned out, it was around 9 o'clock, and the lady that came out from the kitchen told me that the kitchen was closed for the evening so we weren't able to get any food at that time so we walked around inside and looked at the small things for sale and the decorations saw the nice high top bar and chairs and since things were winding down, we decided to leave instead of having something to drink. We didn't see a bartender or someone to serve us a drink anyway. So as it stands, we'll have to come back by some other time and check it out. I hear the food is interesting, casual and good and there are a lot of beer selections. I look forward to coming back another time and trying the food and drink.

    My wife and I pass this place every late afternoon during our daily walk and finally decided to…read morestop in and check it out. It's an old-style gas station you'd expect to find on Route 66 that has been converted into what I'll call a local pub. It's got some simple comfort foods to go along with a wide variety of both alcoholic and non-alcoholic beverages. Barstool table seating inside with picnic tables outside. They've got a cornhole set outside to complete the backyard picnic feel, and I've even seen customers seated with their dogs. Very cool. My wife and I were cheerfully greeted when we walked in. We shared an order of chicken tenders and tater tots. My wife got a bottled water, and I picked a NA beer from their selection. Finally, someplace that carries an assortment of NA beers! The food took a while to come out, but this isn't a fast-food joint and it was nice to slow down and have a conversation. The chicken tenders and tater outs were hot and tasted great. Definitely a generous portion of both and I'm glad we got just one order. In summary, the place is nothing fancy. It's just a great place to hang out with friends and enjoy some comfort foods and frosty beverages. It's definitely on our "will return" list.
