TCB is the local watering hole where those wanting to escape downtown Fuquay and Varina can come…read morefor a relaxing fun atmosphere and enjoy some drinks. They have a great selection of rotating taps with a focus on German beers. They usually keep at least a couple IPA and Stout taps. They also have wine by the glass. Parking can be a bit of a pain. TCB only has two official parking spots, if there are any spots in the lot use those ones last because all of the lot frequently fills up due to Winging It next door...especially on their trivia night. So if you leave the TCB only spots open someone who can't find a spot may get one. On the bright side, Winging It takes phone in orders and will deliver it to TCB at the bar for you if you ask. Outside food is obviously welcome since they don't have a restaurant. Interesting fact, under the previous owners there was a brewery that shared space with TCB called 3rd Degree Brewhouse. They didn't survive the covid years but it was cool! They regularly have food trucks on some Fridays and Saturdays (who will ultimately steal those two parking spots). They do have some bar food including hot pretzels served with beer cheese and mustard and it's pretty good. They are super dog friendly....like if dogs bother you, don't come here. The owners dogs are sweet and behave. They are also kid and family friendly. Some of the visitors on the other hand, their owners need to train their pups a bit more. I have seen a few squabbles over the years and heard more than a few barking contests. Don't worry, they are usually calmed down fast. And I won't let you know if I was talking about the dogs, kids or maybe both. One of my favorite things is that they use Untappd. You can see their menu on there as well as check in beers as you drink them. As of writing this I have 192 check in's there across at least 6 years. I used to be a regular but I cut back on my drinking and haven't been in awhile, but I need to go to get to 200 check ins! They frequently host DJ Gino for Music Bingo which is my favorite. He also does music, karaoke, record nights, and probably some other DJ-eeyness that I'm forgetting. There are dozens of board games inside, a couple video games, Touch Tunes, TVs to watch sports, and even a golf arcade game. Outside they have corn hole and covered picnic tables with some really nice rocking chairs. Cigar smoking is allowed out front. Aside from the rotating taps, they have a huge selection of refrigerated and non-refrigerated beer, non-alcoholic beer, kids drinks like root beer and Saranack Shirley Temples, and a few other things. Tap water and cups is back in the corner. My only gripe about this place is the $2 uncharge to open a beer from the cooler onsite. Seriously bro, come one, we're already tipping 20-25% on the purchase of that $9 can, I think the bartender could open it no problem and not make it a $13-14 can of beer. This is the only bottle shop that I used to frequent that had a "cork fee" for opening beer purchased there cold. I eventually just started buying a couple to go instead of drinking them there to save the extra cost. Last bonus fact: They used to have a run club and I went a few times and was the slowest one. We ran behind Kohls in those neighborhoods. Then we'd all come over and drink the calories back on but the worst part was on run club night they served free brats with sauerkraut and mustard...so we really put back on the exercise effort.

Anyway, went across the street to the Tap House. It was like 130pm on Saturday, but pretty empty. I had the pickle chips to start and was worried that I would ruin my appetite... no chance or that, as the serving, which took 20 minutes, was about the size of a large handful, lol. They were decent, but could have been drained or blotted better, the bottom was a pool of grease. 10 bucks doesn't go very far these days. For my lunch, I had a dozen dry rubbed wings with Spitfire and some other sauce on the side (website is pretty bad) doesn't mention the sauce list. One of the sauces was nice and spicy, kind of surprised they would serve that in NC, but good. The wings themselves were good. Nicely cooked, not too fatty, and a nice dry rub. Service was weird. I had not been there before, and the host... Lets just say I asked 4 times if they had a bar I could sit at, and he said he couldn't understand me 4 times, so I just walked by him and sat at the bar. The bartenders were nice, but the girl that ran my food twice talked so low that I could not hear or understand her... turnabout. Anyway, I like in Cary, and although it was OK, I cannot see myself driving out there again just for the food. If I was driving through and wanted wings, I would probably stop.

They do have a pet friendly outdoor patio (with heaters). Nearly everyone there came outside to greet my dog and I. Since I couldn't go inside they watched my dog while I went inside to get a beer. The bartender was friendly and efficient. She even brought out a water bowl. Without tasting other options, I chose the pecan maple porter ($7). It was excellent. Smooth, flavorful, and strong albeit pricy (comparable to other breweries in the area). Definitely would order that again, although I do want to try their other options. Several people were sitting outside and welcomed any at their table and into their conversations. Inside, the brewery was hosting an open mic night. I would have liked to hear more of it, but the outdoor patio was peaceful. As the sun came down, they started the heaters/fire pits. Ample parking is available right out front. Nearby parking lots and street parking is also available. Overall, excellent experience here and I highly recommend this brewery to others!

So good we ate there two nights in a row! Great location…read moredowntown; plenty of free street parking and a public lot across the street. Super friendly staff. Dog friendly with approx 8 tables outside. Inside is large & airy with a large Party room for events. Large bar & they make great drinks besides their huge selection of On Tap beers; Many are their house brand styles. Reasonably priced and the food is very good! Apps You can't go wrong with their Corn Fritters in a smokey, honey sauce or their Fried Green Tomatoes served with house made chow chow and goat cheese. Both large enough cooked perfectly, decent sized, and plenty of meat; Entrees The grilled Flank Steak Salad with with blue cheese crumbles ( I substituted feta) , sliced apples, walnuts, and red onions served with honey balsamic dressing was the perfect size and flavors. But the HR king here is the Pork Tenderloin topped with blackstrap molasses, garlic mashed potatoes and bacon Brussels sprouts. everything about this dish was perfect. The best of these commonly seen items. The second night we had different types of burgers which were good but not life changing. However their fries are crispy perfect. Mexican street corn was good but at $7 for one ear....not worth it. desserts ( and a lot of the drinks) come in little mason jars and are pretty good too. Great place and I highly recommend it. Crazy as it sounds the whole place (including the bar) is closed by 9 or 10pm daily. We'll be back

Two of us came here for dinner. We were seated quickly and…read morea nice waitress came to take our drink order. We both got sweet tea and didn't have to wait for refills. I got fish and chips and he got buttermilk chicken sandwich with fries. He ate all his fries and sandwich and said it was good. Sandwich came out hot but not fries. Mine was a big disappointment. The fish was burned and the batter had no flavor at all. Even doused with lots of malt vinegar, salt and pepper, it was still barely edible ( I ate the inside). If I hadn't been so hungry I would have sent it back, but I had not eaten all day and was hangry. In the picture you can see one showing the burnt side and I turned the other one over to check the other side. There was a kale slaw type salad that was just ok. Had lots of onion in it which I don't prefer. The fries were not good at all. Limp, no flavor. I only ate two and gave up. We went to Publix and got a frozen pizza and went home and cooked it. The place is nice, clean from what I saw and our waitress was wonderful. This would be a 3.5 only because of the great service.

If you're looking for a lively karaoke night out- come to the brick on a late weekend night. If playing pool, darts, with some good music and friendly company is your speed, it's a wonderful place to spend a weeknight evening. I tend to prefer to have the space to play darts with ample "wiggle room" (it's truly for everyone else's safety), so i came on an evening I could expect an open bar. As an old local who recently moved back- Becca was more than willing to chat with me about the area and give me further recommendations for the area, which is truly appreciated.

They currently have four beers on tap: Virtue IPL, Stick Barn Schwarzbier, Happy Place Helles and Small Town Bock. And, are brewing up small batches that are released every Sunday. If I had to choose a favorite it would definitely be Happy Place Helles. I was a bit disappointed to hear that they do not offer flights so I recommend that you sample the beers before to ensure that you will like it before committing to a full pour. As far as the space goes, it is a bit smaller inside and it can get loud. I really hope that they get sound absorbers to help with that. Giant jenga and corn hole are no longer available to play inside, only outside, so visit on a nice day. I am excited to see what Mason Jar is brewing up next.

Nice bar outside, but quite unusable in the summer, so far, no shade so to speak and compare that with July 2026, I saw a person sitting out there, who later came inside. Food pretty good so far. I have only had the wings and a side for the food. I got a salad and the dry rubbed wings which were meaty and cooked well. I had a side of buffalo (hot, lol tasted pretty medium at best, but was good). I was quite impressed by the side salad, btw. Fresh lettuce and cucumbers. It was quite nice with the balsamic dressing! Service was fine. People were nice. Can't say that anyone did a terrible job, which is what I shoot for these days. The bartender that took care of me was nice, though. Sorry I forgot her name. Def go back when I am in the area and taste some of the other food. One major negative, though, I went back about a week later after a long day to get wings again, walked in and there was a one-man band playing on the stage. It was so loud, and the acoustics were so bad (industrial ceilings with exposed HVAC never good for music), that I actually did not sit down. Went closer to home for wings. I will still be back though.
