    a glass of beer
    Kerry B.

    If you like craft beer and bottle shops, you will love the Casual Pint. To start, they have an awesome selection of local craft beer. You can get a good idea of the beer in the region by coming here. On draft, they were heavy on IPAs, stouts, and sours. They also had porters, pilsners, lagers, and a cider on draft. No Belgians, though, which made me sad, but they did have a lonely Hefeweizen. It is like a sports bar so there are plenty of TVs to watch sports. There is both a bar area and a seating area with tables. There is also an outside patio. On my visit, it was way too cold to be sitting outside. There are games to play here, mostly board games. They have a list of events, so if you are planning to visit during the week, you may want to visit their website to see what the happenings are. What I was really impressed by is their awesome selection of cans and bottles. And when I say awesome, I mean awesome. So many local craft beer delicacies. They also have food, I tried the chicken quesadilla with bacon for $1 extra. It was good. Came with salsa and sour cream. The salsa was both spicy and delicious. I enjoyed the salsa the most. Since I am going to be in the area for a while, I am going to try and frequent the Casual Pint. As far as a beer venue, the Casual Pint exceeds all my needs.

    Games while drinking are the best!

    This place is our vibe! The staff is always nice and always helps with our drink choices. We have come a couple times and every time is just great! They have games, karaoke, music and sometimes just chill, depending when you come. Oh, we love the egg rolls here! Highly recommend you come on a Friday night!

    We attended a Drag Queen brunch here and had the best time. For such a small space lots of entertainment was accomplished. This is not a regular thing, perhaps just an occasional event. The performers were AMAZING! The ladies definitely know how to work a crowd. My fav part was the Q&A and let's be honest, all the performances. The only negative was the food. It was a small buffet on the patio which included some fruit, pastries and breakfast food with some horrible meatball and chicken nugget pieces (I swear those were not full nuggets). However the mimosas were delicious. We grabbed a pitcher and had a buzz quickly. Enough so that we did some drunk HomeGoods and Target shopping afterwards. Pro Tip: come early to the show so you get a good seat at the middle table or the bar.

    the Casual Pint is a small bar/restaurant located in Rivergate shopping center. Relatively small location with a long bar, and a small bit of seating. There is also a small retail area with a shelving area with warm and cold beer. The beer selection is terrific for such a small location, they have 35 taps all of which are occupied with craft beer. A lot of local offerings as well. I believe they also have a couple of taps with wine. They have food, but I haven't ordered any on any of my visits. The staff has always been friendly and attentive. Overall I really enjoy this place, and will be back any time I am in the area.

    Selection of Porters and Stouts including a French Toast stout that tasted like maple syrup!

    We've been several times now and absolutely love the Casual Pint! They always have fun seasonal and staple beers on tap (you can get bottle or growlers too) and it's a relaxed atmosphere! Jess our waitress was amazing! She was super personable, recommended great drink options and made our whole experience stellar. Highly recommend popping by for a drink and some standard pub food. The 10 inch pretzel and beer cheese was fantastic.

    Pretty nice location to come grab a beer after doing some shopping or just to meet up for a quick drink with friends. They have a really nice beer list along with a couple of wines. I also like that they have food as well. I opted for some chicken tenders and fries during my visit. They weren't the best but they also were the worst I've ever had before. I would definitely go back for a visit if I'm in the area.

    The Casual Pint in Steele Creek
    Bruce K.

    Beer is a good thing (their tshirts on sale quote Benjamin Franklin's "Beer is proof that God loves us and wants us to be happy." and other similar sentiments.) and The Casual Pint has it in spades. Thirty-six taps and a cooler with hundreds more making them the best bottle shop in Steele Creek. The staff really seems to know the beers. I watched one young lady recommend and provide samples to a couple. Friendly and with a nice laugh, she was trying hard to find one they liked. They have their own kitchen (menu includes wings, pretzels, flatbreads, salads and bratwursts) and they also have a list of places on their website that deliver.

The mussels and garlic bread were also delicious (even ordered a second garlic bread). I would 100% order both dishes again. Our server was also friendly, attentive, and gave honest, helpful recommendations. Prices felt fair for the quality, and the overall experience hit all the right notes. We've already recommended it to friends and will definitely be back. A cozy, welcoming spot for comfort food done right.

I have only been in a few times so I can comment on if their patrons typically adhere to this code of conduct! Overall I think it is worth checking out if you've never been and maybe it will grab you and you will want to become a regular. Me personally it's a little out of the way to become a regular haunt located in between Plaza and NoDa but not walking distance from either. Also it's not that the service was ever unfriendly but I just didn't feel like it was my vibe. Still a cool bar though and I can see why other enjoy it.

Not a "need to substitute" or "we're missing one of the items" just completely 86ed. Despite being prominently featured at the top of the menu! Since we already had our wine, we had to order something else. I went with the cheese sticks, and my mom ordered a hamburger based on what the table next to us had. When she got her burger though, despite us ordering the same as the table next to us, it was a completely different burger. She ate it anyway and my cheese sticks were okay for pub food. But overall, a really disappointing experience based on what we expected. And we had to hunt down the server to pay so we could get back to the conference on time.
