What a gem! We stopped in here before a concert at Red Hat. Very chill, welcoming vibe with a great drink list. But the big surprise for us were the hotdogs. I know, how can you be excited about a hotdog? Well, there was just something about these hotdogs that were just really good! We will definitely be back ... I'm thinking hotdog and a drink followed by a visit to Videri for chocolate and my day would be complete. read more

Standard bottle shop with a great selection. They have awesome beers on tap and the staff is friendly. Definitely worth stopping in for a pint. Walking in and looking around it looks like a convenience store. But go to the back where all the action is! read more

Best place to grab a beer and a dog. Great service and people with a massive beer selection. Two dollar dogs on Tuesday's are great.

Great Selection of Beers! And knowledgeable servers! Good vibe! It was a pleasant and informative experience overall.

Very nice. Calm, relaxing atmosphere with good selection of beers. Staff was very friendly and patrons were easy going and mellow. A great place to pick up some beer and have one while you're making your selection. A great way to spend a couple hours. Cheers! read more

I love this place! Great selection of beers on draft, very well curated beer selection to go, and outstanding service. I've never visited this place and not gotten outstanding and helpful service from the employees. Parking can be difficult, and is somewhat expensive, but the place validates so it should not ever be an issue. Prices on beer are great, especially for what they offer. read more

Tasty doesn't have fanciest outdoor spot (it's basically benches on a walkway), but it's where I always end up hanging out. The vibe is super laid-back aka perfect for grabbing a beer. The best part? The beer selection rotates regularly, so there's always something new to try. The staff is friendly and knows their stuff, making it easy to find something you'll like. If you're into craft beer, this place is definitely worth checking out. read more

I can't express to you how wonderful Tasty Bev Co is. I would give em 10 stars if I could. The best selection, dogs, and people in town. Every Wednesday, the owner Johnny whips up a new limited edition "Weiner Wednesday" hot dog recipe. I've had so much fun trying the new recipes and I try to go every week. They even keep my beverage of choice in the keg fridge behind the counter so there's always a cold one when I get there! This week, I was sadly unable to go to Weenie Wednesday because I've got COVID. Johnny noticed, messaged me, and delivered my usual order - along with a special Weenie Wednesday hot dog - right to my door. Big big shoutout to Johnny and the crew at Tasty. I'll be a customer for life! read more

Sometimes you don't know exactly what you want, but you know what you don't want. These are some steep judgement calls for someone else to make for you, but I gave the staff at Tasty Beverage Company some perimeters and six of their selections later I walked out with some tasty local beers. The selection is amazing and the staff obviously understands what you're looking for with even the most basic beer describing vocabulary. Okay I know my way around a bottle shop, but I had like 5 minutes and they read me pretty well. Next time in Raleigh this might be my first stop. read more

As my friend and I were waiting for our table at Jose and Sons, we decided to spend the time at Tasty. They allowed us to leave our purchases in the store and pick it up after dinner. Loved the variety of brands to choose from and the uniqueness of the choices. We wanted something fruity and there were many options. Ended up getting a raspberry ale (had never tried one before!) and a few alcoholic lemonades to enjoy during the Super Bowl. The raspberry ale was interesting. It was more sour than I would have expected, but not necessarily in an unpleasant way. There were several others that I wanted to try, but those will be for next time! read more

I've got to admit, Tasty has won me over with time. The first couple months of visits I was confused, why would any place that sells such delicious beverages close at the ungodly hour of 10pm? You're a bottle shop not a bar, but you have a bar in your bottle shop. I'm telling you people I wasn't loving the tastiness that is Tasty Beverage. However, after some time I learned it really was love at first sight, and Tasty is a true beer lovers spot, a classy joint that puts together bike rides and special tastings for those true enjoyers not bingers of this thing we call beer. After taking in my full share of all the [many] new and old bottle shops up & down Glenwood and downtown I realized that Tasty truly is the best in downtown Raleigh. Conveniently tucked away in the depot, it's close enough to downtown to draw the true beer connoisseurs and not the drunkies. It closes early so it's where you start--not finish. They let you stay in the shop even after closing, just have a "last call" at 10pm. Drinks are by far the cheapest in downtown Raleigh for quality and selection is amazing. Not only are their coolers filled with beer there are stocked shelves and 8-10 drafts plus three growler fills. The seating can be difficult on Saturday nights but I love sitting at the bar in the winter and grabbing a seat outside on the patio in the summer. I recommend following Tasty on social media if you're vying for any of those rare beer finds because they go fast! Also bring cash for the bar tenders because since it's a bottle shop strictly there is not tip line on the receipt. Can't wait for the new store to open up in Asheville early next year because I know where I'll be headed in the Spring! read more

Tasty Beverage was one of the first bottle shops in Raleigh and it's still one of the best. With a huge stock of hard to find beers on their shelves along with a small tasting bar in back, you should be able to find something to drink or bring home if you're a beer connoiseuir. The staff here knows their stuff and can guide you to one of the craft brews on tap or on their shelves. And prices are reasonable making Tasty Bev an easy visit. While some people see Tasty Bev as a hang-out spot, I see it more as a "grab a beer or two" type place before heading out elsewhere. Given its location in the Warehouse District you've got access to some good restaurants and bars nearby including Humble Pie, The Pit, Jose & Sons, Crankarm Brewery and more. So go Tasty Bev! It's a beery interesting spot... read more

Stopped into pick up some local brews for the Stadium Series weekend. Great selection of beer, wine, and seltzers. Cheers from the Orlando Caps fans...see you in Disney!! read more

Tasty is awesome! It's a little hidden in a shopping center across from Boxcar and behind Videri in downtown Raleigh. The reason I like this place is because they carry a variety of different beer and wines all for a great price. You can find a bunch of speciality beers here. The first half of the place is almost like a grocery store where there is aisles of beer, there's about 4 or 5 fridges on the right hand side for cold beverages and they also have a bar towards the back. I would consider this more of a hipster laid back place, not very fancy but pretty awesome! My co workers come here on Friday afternoons to grab a beer and relax. This place does have about 8 seats around the bar and 4 or 5 tables outside. Probably not the best place to stay and hang out but convenient for those who work/ live downtown that want to pick up beer. read more

Here it is finally. Review #500**. To whom shall I bestow this honorary mention? Of course it goes my favorite place in the world TASTY BEVERAGE CO where my dukedom reigns. First I would like to thank the Beer Lord, for without him, mankind would have never thought to put malted wheat and hops together. I would also like to thank Critter and Johnny and Sean and everyone there, for without any of your guidance and suggestion (and occasional "Come on Ken you can have one more,") I would not have getting so close to that "Legendary" badge on my Untappd profile. You all really turn this uncultured beer fledgling into a bona fide craft beer snob/diva. If I had browsed the library shelves back at ECU as hard and thoroughly as I browse your beer aisles, I probably would have made something of myself! I know you just all recently celebrated one-year anniversary, and with your friendliness and never ending supply of bottles and fun tasting events, I can see many many more anniversaries ahead in the future. So cheers, to TASTY BEVERAGE! P.S. I know this will not show up as actual review #500, it'll be as a review update, but I think in spirit it counts! P.P.S. An informal agreement has been reached, that if I win today's $500 millions Powerball lottery jackpot, I can buy me a seat as part owner of TASTY beverage. Stay Tune! (Am I kidding about this? I guess you will have to find out don't you?) read more

Okay, this place is really cool, and I'm not even a big beer fan. However, when I do want a beer, I want a GOOD one, a TASTY one, and this place is one fun place to browse the options. And wow are there options! After a recent jaunt to Jibarra, we stumbled upon this place, and were kicking ourselves saying, how could we have not noticed this before? The answer was actually given by an employee...they keep the windows shaded to protect the precious merchandise! It can look closed or never opened. Aren't you glad now that this cannot happen to you? (you're welcome) Beer, Ale, Porters, Stouts...variety from every country, lovingly taken care of to the extent that they will look closed...gotta respect that, and I DO! TIP: They have a tasting bar and do tastings, so sign up for their email list...easy to do at checkout. It was fun bringing home new bottles to try. Tasty Beverage, may your business prosper! read more

Came here with a friend on a Saturday night. There were some people in the back just hanging out and drinking beer that they got from the small beer bar in the back, which seemed like a good sign and really added to the laidback atmosphere of the place..not pretentious at all. It's not a very large space, but I actually preferred that..less decision anxiety about what to get. All the beers were organized by the country they were brewed in, and there was a small selection of singles to customize a 6-pack with too. However, the highlight of our experience here was when my friend asked for beer recommendations. We're both complete beginners when it comes to beer, and so she asked someone working there if he could recommend one to her based on a beer she had before and the taste/finish of it. The man who helped us was super friendly and helpful, was able to give some really good recommendations, and provided helpful information about beers in the process. It was clear he really enjoyed his job and was very knowledgeable/enthusiastic about beer. It really contributed to the personal and local feel of the place, and both my friend and I left with a fantastic impression of it. I would highly recommend giving this place a visit. Although the store is not very big, it packs a very good selection of beers and amazing staff! read more

Oh WOW!!! Beer lovers unite, this is your spot! Before I could even get through the door I was given a proper greeting and then my eyes got big and my jaw dropped. All I could do was gaze at the selection. I was promptly taken to the back by a friend to do some tastings right off the tap. There were 5 choices, all of which came from quite reputable breweries but only 3 of the actual beers had I ever heard of before(AND I KNOW BEER). Once I finally had a nice pour or 3, I decided to start my wanderings. I went straight for the American IPA's. I knew thats where I'd start and thats where I'd probably finish. First thing I did was take 4 22's and put them on the counter. It wasn't long before I realized I'd be needing a large vessel to carry all the beer I needed to take home. Given the fact that it was right around harvest season, I figured I'd check out a couple pumpkin ales. We popped a bottle of PumpKing and ohhhhh buddy, I'll be stocking up next year. I'd continue to ramble about all the diverse selections from all over the world, but to each their own, so i just suggest you visit. If your a rookie to craft beer, just let them know, I'm sure they would be more than helpful. The diverse collection a beer is immense, the prices are pretty nice for these types of brews, and the staff there are just good people in general. I need one closer to me, and I need it now. I even bought the t-shirt. Honestly, I will never look at a total wine the same. P.S. Now that I've left this amazing spot I've gone and checked out their website. Completely interactive and updated quite often. A great place to start if you plan on getting a nice sized stash of beers upon your visit. read more

I love to stop by Tasty Beverage to meet for a beer before dinner. The parking lot out front is free but can be hit or miss. The bottle shop itself is a bit small but impressive! The staff is both friendly and knowledgable. It is always exciting to see what they have on tap since they rotate them out. And, I love being able to stop on the way home to grab a few new beers to try! read more

So TASTY! Amazing craft beer store located in the Warehouse District. I always ask the staff for their opinion on their brews and they always steer me in the right direction. They are happy to help and share their knowledge. I enjoy creating my own six pack and taking my purchases home to enjoy. There is a small bar in the back that always has 6 beers on tap so that you can drink in the store as well. read more

Tasty Beverage Company - Hopslammed! - Beer, Wine & Spirits Near Me - Raleigh, North Carolina

How people would not give this place 5 stars is beyond me. Tasty Beverage Co is located at the Raleigh Depot just around the corner from Videri Chocolate Factory. There is ample parking in front and to the side of the depot. Walking into this place was a treat. We'd been hearing about it from a family member for a while but didnt think their selection would be SO vast! Theyve really got something for everyone. A great US selection, even some west coast brew I wasnt sure we'd be able to get on this coast. They have a separate set of shelves for the local NC brews, which is very cool. They also have a great selection of European/ Belgium beers,as well as a good little cider selection. I highly advise making your own 6 pack to take home (or a 4 pack if youre really overwhelmed). Theres even a full cold case if youre looking to get something to drink right away. Feel like tasting something you want to buy right that moment? Simply take it up to the bar and theyll pour it into a glass for you. Note: Youll still have to pay for the can/bottle but if youre looking to try something they currently have on tap, im pretty sure theyll give you a tasting glass for no charge. We tried a full glass of the Trappistes Rochefort 10 (cuz were adventurous like that), wow is that a great beer. We just happened to be served by the owner, super nice guy. He was telling us that they sell more of that beer than anyone else around (and we can see why). It like their beer mascot. We fell so in love w/ this place that, not only did we buy t-shirts, were planning another trip down to Raleigh w/ some friends to introduce them to this place. Take a Girls Pint Out members advice and GO HERE!!! Chombers! read more

The Tasty Beverage Company is tucked away in a strip of a few restaurants in The Depot in downtown Raleigh. Parking is free in front of the building, and there is always a security person monitoring the lot. You wouldn't think to come to this area for a crazy good beer selection, but I'm certain you won't be disappointed when you leave. This is the place to go to find every kind of beer your heart desires. I'm not certain how many craft beers they stock, but it's a bit overwhelming (in a wonderful way!). They have a large cooler chock full of the favorite selections, and several aisles of bottled and canned beer. They usually have a special beer on the front counter where you check out. Probably the coolest thing about Tasty Beverage Company is that they have a tasting bar. They rotate the brews they have on tap, and I believe they have about 6 of them. The bar is small and there are only about 6 seats. I love the variety of beer they have at this bar and how it rotates, and they often feature several new local beers here too. read more

Beer is good, and having a specialty beer store where the staff knows what they are talking about makes it GREAT! Tasty Beverage has everything from your local craft beers to rare limited edition brews and everything in between. It is a great place to go to pick up a bottle after work or you can create a very unique six pack on your way out. A useful tip, if you are not sure what to get or want to try something new keep an eye out for the "Staff Picks" that appear on almost every aisle. The employees get to sample many of the beers and are a great resource when navigating a new style. My newest discovery is the Harvest strong ale aged in whisky casks and I never would have seen it had it not been for the Tasty Bev Crew! read more

Just stopped by for the first time, awesome customer service. If you like sour beer, or fruited sours, Berliner weisse, then you will love this spot.. they have a huge selection! And really good prices read more

Best bottle shop in Raleigh. Good crowd, good beer. Well priced. Parking can be a little bit of a pain, but it's a solid place to be. Great staff too. 9 beers on tap with a cold, singles section, so there's plenty to choose from. read more

It's beervana! From the numerous countries and styles represented on the shelves to the chill little counter where the taps hide out, Tasty Beverage has a little something for every beer fan. They even carry a small selection of local cheeses and crackers in case the need to feed strikes and you don't feel like hoofing it to one of the many restaurant nearby, or if you need an instant party-with-snacks to go. The only thing I didn't really enjoy about Tasty was that on a busy night at the back taps, the store's layout can make things a little congested. With so much fitting into such a snug space I can see how it might be difficult to set things up any other way but know that if you're there on a night with a freshly featured beer (and there are many nights like that!) you might have to go around the long way to get to whatever bottled deliciousness you seek. The Tasty guys certainly know their brews and can assist you with anything from finding the perfect Flemish sour (a personal favourite) to turning something as vague as a list of flavours you like into a beer recommendation and the often-rotating selection is certainly among the finest in Raleigh, and possibly the very best. You can find plenty of local breweries represented as well as a lot of hard-to-finds from all over the world in a variety of styles and price ranges. No snobbery or beer-cliquishness here, just pure passion for the beauty of brewing! read more

Bar with rotating drafts in the back, right when you walk in you will see seasonal/limited selection (far left, front). behind those is where the domestic draft 6 packs are arranged by brewery in alphabetical order and continue towards the back of the store. International brews are in the middle shelves of the store as well as the single bottles for purchase. Cooler section on the far right contains IPAs. Love it! Trying the beer bar next time around! read more

Best customer service of any beer shop I've ever been to. Hands down. I placed a large order for pick up the next day. Received a call from concerned staff (I think owner) regarding some of my order, and whether the quality was there, and asking about other beer interests. Allowed them to run with it, and received better beer for better value. Who does that these days. Just awesome. And I'll recommend them to anyone who asks. Now I just need to drink it ... read more

Welllllll, it's no Sam's Quick Shop- you have to go to Durham to experience that level of awesomeness. But nonetheless it's a pretty decent venue with a good selection. They were helpful and friendly and it's a quick walk down the street for me. I didn't sit at the bar in the back. I was in and out with a couple six-packs. But I would enjoy going back. And I will! Cheers! read more

Looking for a specialty beer shop in Raleigh? Check out Tasty Beverage Co. Located next to Jibarra in the Warehouse District, Tasty Bev has a museum of beers. Domestic craft beers are on the left right when you walk in. In the center are foreign beers. And, on the far wall, there are fridges with cold-activated 40s, 6-packs, and growlers (fear not, there is actually no Coors Light). There's a whole fridge or two with local growlers. In the back, there's a bar with rotating taps with some of the owner's favorites. You could order a drink and then take it outside to the patio in front of the store. They have a permit that covers all the way in front of Jibarra. The plan is to add tables outside in front of the shop. Tasty Bev is Raleigh's answer to Sam's Quik Stop in Durham and will compete with Peace Street Market in Glenwood South. Don't miss the American Apparel T-shirts for sale at $20/each. A few of them feature the made up word "Chombers", which the owners thought was just a fun to say and it has evolved into their slogan. read more

A very cool place to grab a drink on a nice day. While the store itself isn't huge, it does feature a bar and several areas to drink inside. But when the weather is nice definitely take advantage of the nice weather and take your drink to the patio to socialize and enjoy the sun! The guy who helped me find a cider to drink was very nice, and offered me lot of suggestion. While not everything is kept cold, they are more than happy to chill something if you're heart is set on drinking it right then. Prices are also more in line with purchasing a bottle at a store rather than the up-charged bar price. I enjoyed a great cider for $3, which is a steal considering a pint is usually $5 or $6 at a normal bar. All in all I have a feeling I will be back to Tasty soon! I can't wait for another nice day to enjoy a drink on their patio! read more

The best beer shop I've ever been to. Everyone is always so nice and helpful, and I've been ordering here for years. They have rotating taps to stop by and have some great beer, and also a great selection with the easiest online ordering process I've ever seen. It's a beer lovers paradise. read more

I don't want to think about how much money I've gone through at Tasty Beverage over the past year. I really don't. Quantify that however you want, whether by dollars spent on great beer or bottles shared at random tastings in the darkness of a downtown Raleigh evening. My occasional visits last year became a twice-or-more per week habit that I don't anticipate breaking anytime soon. This is telling of Tasty's quality in a city that is bubbling over with new places to get your beer on. The store itself is unassuming: a bunch of wire racks in rows throughout with a wall of refrigerators on the far side; merchandise behind the small front counter and limited releases on it; and less than a dozen seats at the bar in the back. 32oz growlers can be filled by whoever is manning the bar, and a set of taps rotates daily through a variety of beer styles. You can even order food at the neighbor of the beast, Jose and Sons, and bring your lunch or dinner in to the bar and nosh while you gulp. Anyone staring blankly at the board shouldn't hesitate to ask or sample what's available, as Tasty's staff is unlikely to look at you funny if you plead the fifth about your beer knowledge. Craft beer has been accused of bordering on snobbishness of late, with its newly minted cicerones looking down on all the plebeians, but you won't find that here. And that's the fun of this place. They're laid back, they're knowledgeable, they're laid back about their knowledge, and they will not steer you wrong. A second mortgage, that's the trick. Or a first one, given I live in an apartment. In any case, some line of credit that can keep me coming here come hell or high watermelon. At the rate I'm going, I might need it. read more

I was excited when I saw TBC was scheduled to open. I was excited when TBC opened, and I was excited when I finally visited. Boy, do they ever have a large selection of beers here. I mean, huge. Taps in the back with frequent specialties/company features. Still upset I missed the Southern Tier event. The unfortunate thing is that they have far less refrigerated beer. That's fine, if you're just picking up some brews for the week, and you have the time to chill them down. If you're going to an event, this isn't a place you're going to swing by unless you want a limited cold selection. The good news is that they have growlers available, and a decent selection on ice. If you like good beer, this is a great spot. The prices are fair for what you get, and the inventory they stock. If you're looking for a broader selection of pre-chilled craft beer, you'll need to haul it down to Peace St. Market, post-haste. read more

The most inviting hipsters ever! I showed up one Monday night in a Ferrari jacket for the weekly beer and bike ride and everyone was still so friendly! They offer lots of suggestions for on tap and shelf beers and have something for even the most dedicated of wine drinkers. I seriously suggest you check this place out despite the plethora of brew establishments in the area. Be warned that they will kick you out if you get too loud/drunk and that they blast death metal around closing time as a cue to start heading out. read more

I was not much of a beer drinker prior to joining Yelp however my new lovely friends have beat it into me and one lovely place I now frequent is Tasty! The literal wonderland of beer packs quite a big punch with a vast selection on the shelf, in the fridge and then on tap it is a great place to try new things (Sticky Toffee Pudding ale) and revisit old favorites (Rubaeus Raspberry Ale). Mmmmmm, its nice to feel comfortable and at home in places that aren't and tasty really embodies this feeling of closeness and family. read more

This place is a beer-lover's paradise. The selection and prices are absolutely amazing. The staff is friendly and knowledgeable; they can make recommendations without being pushy or snobby. I was passing through on my way to the beach and stopped off based upon Yelp recommendations; I am so glad I did. There are no stores in my hometown quite like this one. The only thing that gave me any pause is that they organize their beers based upon the country of origin. I know a good deal about a great many beers, but sometimes I am not sure where they all come from. I would prefer if the beers were instead organized by type (ie all the Doppelbocks together, all the Imperial Porters together, etc), but that's really just personal preference. Once I figured out how it worked, I was able to find what I needed. If I was lucky enough to live in Raleigh I would visit this store at least 2-3 times per week. As it is, I will make sure to visit it any time I pass through. read more
