Great beers! Great atmosphere! I'm in town every other year for a class and this is a guaranteed stop! They host neat little community events like plant sales, artist shows, paint & sip, etc. This time it was a grown up book fair! We love to sit by the river. So nice! read more

Wonderful IPA beer, friendly staff, clean venue and s great relaxation by the river. The only disappointment was the food truck on my visit- It had the name Chili and was Mexican food. What is annoying is when the signs for products are not professional made and you can tell a sharpie has been used to change prices a few times- nothing worse then knowing you could of had your food cheaper in the past. Great beer and tap house though just hope they get better food trucks read more

We always make time on our visits to stop by Innovation Station. After Concerts on the Creek in Sylva, my husband and I decided to extend our evening out here. I enjoyed a ginger beer, while my husband enjoyed a cider. We sat out on the picnic tables and enjoyed listening to the river and watching the lightning bugs. We even visited with a family who was also vacationing nearby. The bartender was knowledgeable and friendly. We left with a couple shirts, stickers, and metal sign for our game room at home. Looking forward to our next visit in December! read more

Decent selection of their own beers, but none particularly notable. No liquor and no food, but there is a food truck just outside. Indoor and outdoor seating, with nice river view on one side. Staff were okay. Only thing was, both days we were in Dillsboro and visited there, they were playing loud rap music over the speakers, and this to 100% white, middle-aged and senior customers with their children and grandchildren, none of whom wanted to listen to that. This caused me to leave after one drink on both occasions and use the nearby tavern instead. read more

Stopped in after dinner in the area because it looked like a great space. Plenty of beer and drink options, but honestly nothing that I loved. The hazy IPA was very thick and hard to get down. The Oktoberfest was nothing special. I should have tried a slushy! No food here, not much seating inside but plenty outside. The night we went there was some kind of party going on so it was a bit obnoxious. I thought it was both weird and hilarious that Bob Ross was playing on the TV at the bar?! Not my favorite place or beer in the area but glad we checked it out. read more

One person's favorite all-time beer is another person's cow piss. Last night I hit Innovation in Sylva. Nothing wrong with the location, atmosphere, or service, but yikes, the beers. I've never walked away from that much liquid, ever. I only chose from the "hoppy" section of the menu. I didn't like any of them. They were all light, barely any body, and in most cases, downright undrinkable...to me. I wanted to have a look around Cullowhee, and Innovation had opened a spot near (on) campus. This time I decided to head over to the dark side. The Black Balsam Porter was on special, so, I went for a taste. It's solid. It's got a slight bitterness on the backend, but the rich maltiness more than makes up for it. Honestly, it's almost rich enough to qualify as a stout. Service was super-friendly, the spot is small inside but they use the space well with a decent size bar, picnic tables, some high tops, and still some room for a foosball table. I sat outside on an awesome fall day. Parking challenges aside (and it's a serious challenge, although there is a small pay lot across the street), this is a great spot for a beer when visiting campus.

Since I'm new to kava, I can't compare it to other spots, but the mixed drinks they made were delicious and super easy to enjoy as a first-timer. And I have to give a special shout-out to the manager, Tori--she makes the best latte I've had in a long time. I ended up grabbing one every night I stopped by. It's an absolute steal! The lounge itself lives up to its name--the vibes are immaculate. Everyone I met, from staff to regulars, was welcoming and kind, which made the experience even better. They also run some great kava drink specials on certain nights of the week. Whether you're a seasoned kava drinker or just curious like I was, Mountain Vibes is definitely worth checking out.
