Love this place. Have been here quite a few time with large groups and with small ones. Enjoy the array of seating options. Great place for groups and good food. Nice beer selection but not much else if you're not into beer. Service is always great servers are always welcoming and friendly. I love how they have the donation wall for educators and first responders. I have donated a couple times. Food is always tasty a fresh. read more

Tobacco Wood Brewing - Brewpubs Near Me - Durham, North Carolina

Overall it was a really great experience. They had music bingo going on when we walked in. The bartender was knowledgeable on the menu and attentive. The Brisket Burnt Ends were good for North Carolina. They were tasty but they weren't super tender which I'm used to with burnt ends. The classic burger looked good. The classic burger also tasted good and I didn't have to add any additional condiments. However, the classic burger is a smash burger, so why is there so much bread! The bun is ridiculously thick and hard to smash. That's my one complaint about the burger. Please change the bun to something softer. read more

Pulled up for some craft brews and left impressed. Solid lineup of beers--something for everyone whether you're into light, crisp pours or something with a little more backbone. No gimmicks, just good beer done right. Food held its own too. The wings came out crispy (as they should be--no soggy situations here), and the fries were hot, fresh, and exactly what you want on the side of a cold pint. What really makes the place though is the vibe--friendly, easygoing service that feels like they actually want you there. The kind of spot you could casually become a regular without even trying. Nothing over the top, just consistently good across the board. read more

Great brewery with a solid menu. Was in the area and wanted a beer and some food; I've since been plotting a trip back. I had no expectations going in and was pleasantly surprised. Service was spot-on and attentive, and the food came out fast and was really good. Beer is solid. Awesome place! read more

Really enjoy this brewery - I always find something delicious to drink! I especially like their sours. And the staff are always great about letting you taste beers before committing to one. Lots of indoor and outdoor seating. You order drinks and food at the bar and they give you a number and bring the food out to you. Food is good, but I'll admit I kinda miss their original menu. We've also enjoyed evenings here with some live music outside. They list their events online. read more

Tobacco Wood Brewing - Grilled chicken wrap & truffle parmesan fries - Brewpubs Near Me - Durham, North Carolina

I had a work happy hour here a few months ago and it was a good time. There were about 15-20 of us total, we had a few tables inside and they also set up the back room for us with some food. They had prosecco which was great for me! And a good assortment of some pasta salad, caprese skewers and chicken. Plenty of parking, easy to get to and a nice relaxed atmosphere. Would come back! @azfitfoodfun read more

Hey guys, you have to come check out this Tobacco Wood Brewing spot at 2500 Meridian Parkway here in Durham. This place has been literally right around the corner from me and I have passed by it on numerous occasions, always thinking about going by there and I finally took the plunge today and stepped into the place. Before I walked in, I noticed that there was plenty of umbrella covered seating on both sides of the entryway. So those of you have a propensity to indulge in outdoor seating, this place would be a plus for you. Very nice, laid-back atmosphere inside, although decor is a bit spartan. Don't let that be a point of concern though - this spot is large and kind to the eyes. L-shaped layout with a huge bar front. I like that they have seating there as well. There is more than abundant seating and a few soft couches provided for even more comfortable seating. TVs galore, to watch all sporting events - even a large TV for trivia, if you so desire to go that route. The bathrooms are nice and clean. The place is adequately spacious, with room for wheelchair maneuverability. The clientele: awesomely inviting! Hannah, who was working at the time, was very courteous, patient, and helpful since it was my first time there. They do offer flights of beer and they have a very nice selection on the wall from lagers to Pilsner and even some sours. I tried a little bit of all on my flight and I discovered that I am a lager lover, but not so much fond of the sours genre. I ordered the burnt tips as well as the soft West eggrolls to go, that's probably why I don't have pictures of them because it's not as visually pleasing in a to-go package. But the food was quite excellent. Those tips were so tender and flavorful. Oh my gosh. so if you need a nice place to go to to have a beer and a nice meal, check this place out guys. I do not feel that you would be disappointed in any way. read more

It was a rainy evening where we had an impromptu girls night and this was our second stop. Unassuming location...not sure what you'd call it, strip mall, business complex? Whatever it was, the interior definitely fit the brewery vibe. With lots of tables, comfortable seating, games, and lots of beer choices. The employees were super helpful and gave us lots of samples. We were all able to find different beers that suited us...and trust me that we all like different kinds of beers! It was very relaxing to find a couple of sofas and sip beer and just talk. No interruptions, just chill...and have a few beers :) I really liked this taproom and would definitely love to try their Oxford brewery location. read more

We are visiting and wanted a place to grab a drink and food. They have a great selection of handheld sandwiches, build your own pizza, wings, and some appetizers. The smash burger was excellent! The wings we tried had the Bills dry rub. The wings were crispy on the outside and juicy on the inside. The flavor was Smokey and a little sweet. Great flavor! The pizza was pretty good as well. Not super saucy, but nice amount of cheese. The vibe was nice. They have a cute little spot to take pictures. There are several bigger tables making it conducive for bigger parties. There was outdoor seating as well. The beverages were very good. We only tried to e watermelon sour and the THC seltzer. They also had some non alcoholic beverages and Pepsi products. Drew was also great! He was very knowledgeable about the beverage selection, and he explained the flavor profiles very well. Tasters were given as well to determine what we wanted. Overall, it was a nice afternoon! read more

Came here twice, once at lunch and once in the evening. Lunchtime was chill, only a few people inside. It was nice to have a chill spot to eat and converse. The evening though was super busy and had a live band. Great spot for enjoying a Friday evening with friends. They have a wide variety of beer, both in house brews and others on tap. Prices are reasonable and the servers are friendly and accommodating. The food is decent too, no complaints. Overall great local spot. read more

Tobacco Wood Brewing - Fish sandwich - Brewpubs Near Me - Durham, North Carolina

This brewery is located in a shopping plaza so there is plenty of parking out front. Multiple tables are inside of the business. The business offers items such as fries, burgers, flatbread and selections from the bar. Once you enter you place your order at the counter and your food is brought out to you. The cashier was nice and helpful. I got an order of dry rub wings and a pretzel. The wings were seasoned well, served hot, tasted really good, and were served with carrots, celery and dressing. The pretzel was ok. I didn't like the cheese sauce that was served with the pretzel. It was underwhelming. The mustard was ok. I would come back and get more wings and try other items on the menu. read more

This new microbrewery is located near my memory lane. I'm not far from where I grew up. This place has a sports bar atmosphere. An array of overhead screens help you keep up with the action. The menu is shown on TVs behind the bar. There are plenty of taps to choose from. Since this was my first time, I ordered a flight. My dad stuck with a pint of one beer. His favorite is the Rocket Surgery. I can say that one is a hit for me too. I hope to come back again soon. read more

Tobacco Wood Brewing - Four-beer flight - Brewpubs Near Me - Durham, North Carolina

Nice place. Good food good beer. Anna is awesome. We enjoyed the winter salad and the false motivation hazy.

Great space inside. Great outdoor area, albeit in a parking lot facing NC55. The BBQ tacos are excellent even though they were out of slaw. Corn shells, BBQ is tender and tasty (although the sauce does appear to be bottled), and the pico is a nice touch Service was friendly and helpful. Dogs outside only, but that was where I wanted to be today anyway. You know me and reviewing beers...but here's my take on the flight: First, the beers were a little lackluster on a fresh palate, but developed a lot of character with food. The Imperial Stout (The Moose) is extremely good. I taste chocolate and cherry on a coffee background. That 11.3% ABV will sneak up on you. I could see this as dessert with someone me ice cream or cake The West Coast IPA (The Hips Got Me) came to life with the BBQ tacos. The level of bitterness worked for me. Smooth and drinkable The NE IPA (False Motivation) was reported to be their best seller. It's good, with a distinctive pineapple background. Odd because there's another beer on the board that is advertised as being made with pineapple puree. Regardless, this is a very drinkable beer. A decent Hazy. A little sweeter and less bitter than I like, but definitely worth a pint Finally, the Pale Ale (Liquid Luck) is a slightly bitter Pale Ale, kind of as it should be. I'd hoped to taste some ginger, but it was lost on me. Could be taste buds. It went well with the tacos too read more

Tobacco Wood Brewing - Only the Imperial Stout is a standout. The rest are ok. The NE IPA is the best of the rest - Brewpubs Near Me - Durham, North Carolina

Second time visiting and the guy who took our order was grumpy. Whatsamatter? Late night?? Anyway, we had a simple order yet even tho we ordered soda he gave us two glasses of water. Yep, not awake even tho it was after 1pm. Our order came up quick enough and I was ready for it as I hadn't eaten anything all day. I took the top off the burger bun and it was nearly black, so over toasted. I figured no point in telling them since no way they couldn't have seen it since they served it that way and must think that's ok. The burger was so overcooked it was dry and tasteless. Thankfully at least the potato salad was good. Honestly the only thing they really had going for them today was there was unbeknownst to me gathering for a Pride event. They need to do it quarterly and maybe I'd think about returning. Seriously tho, don't serve your guests burnt burger buns and dried out burgers. It's a waste of money and an insult to the customer. read more

Looking for lunch on a warm Sunday, my daughter recommended this restaurant. We arrived in good time as customers came in droves after we sat down. It is a family-friendly restaurant that has an array of beers on tap. Televisions are throughout so that you won't miss a good football game. There is also outdoor seating and a walk-up area for picking up orders. The Feta & Fig flatbread pizza called out to me. Although arriving at the table took a little while, it was good. The figs, pear puree, and praline pecans added flavor and crunch. We all enjoyed our plates and enjoyed the family conversation. The location is excellent; it is right off I-40, exit 282. There is ample parking and minimal congestion. read more

Great experience dining here in a Saturday evening. It wasn't too crowded and the UNC game was on. Big selection of beers -- their own as well as guest taps. You order beer and food at the bar. We ordered beer, kept our tab open and ordered food a little later. Bartenders were friendly. I ordered the cauliflower crust margherita pizza and husband the signature burger and fries. We both loved our meals. Pizza was cheesier than most margheritas with a crispy crust and delicious balsamic drizzle. Fries were so unique and tasty. My only suggestion would be to include beer prices/sizes on the beer menu. read more

I decided to try a different brewery while visiting Raleigh. The location is great with plenty of parking and outdoor seating available. There were about 12 beers on tap and a large selection of food. Based on previous reviews I went with the white pizza and was disappointed but I have high expectations for my garlic infused pizza. I give the staff high marks for quickly responding when I sat at a wobbly table top and they replenished my flight of beer. read more

Tobacco Wood Brewing - White pizza - Brewpubs Near Me - Durham, North Carolina

We liked the ambiance here. Sidewinder fries were yummy. The spicy grilled chicken wrap was solid. The wings were juicy, but the sauce that we chose missed the mark. The spice/heat was good, but not a bulls eye, flavor wise. It had a base of jalapeño spice and was described as a flavorful sauce, but all I tasted was heat. The wing meat itself was perfectly cooked. I will try another sauce next time. We enjoyed the IPAs. Good selection of brews. Fun spot, overall! read more

Staff was really friendly, my son and I both had pizzas, which tasted good. And yes, it was a Monday night - so there's your qualifier - but lawd this place was DEAD! And there isn't much ambiance, it's just a wide open room in a strip center in a business park. I'm sure when there's life in this building it can feel much different, but.....ALSO, we wanted to watch the Murray State vs Duke baseball game. Ummmm.....aren't I in North Carolina? Why wasn't this game on every single TV?! They very kindly changed the channel for us but JEEZ! So, what I'm saying is this ain't a sports bar, it's a restaurant with some TVs. read more

I picked my boyfriend up from the airport this afternoon and we decided to stop here afterwards for lunch. I'm so happy we did! We each had The Admiral beer. It's dark, delicious and boozy. We also both ordered the 1/4 pound cheeseburger; tots for him and sidewinder fries for me. The food was delicious, I just wish the burgers had a delicious burger sauce on them. We were only offered ketchup. You have to go up to the counter to order your food and they bring it to your table. All of the bartenders and servers were very friendly. It's a sports bar like atmosphere; very laid back. They have outdoor seating too and dogs are welcome. I look forward to returning. read more

Cute little brewery. Was not crowded on a Friday evening. Live music was a plus. Food was super delicious!!

Can't speak for the Beer, didn't drink at lunch on weekday but ate the food. Burger was a 8 out of 10. Meat was super well done/a bit dry Bun was buttery and soft, so tasty Toppings plentiful and as described A good burger for the price All else, fried pickle, tater tots, fried mushrooms failed miserably because the oil they fried them in was old and burned. It ruined what would have been a pretty good meal. Service was nice/ acceptable. read more

This review is only regarding take-out since it's our only experience with this place so far. The Good: We ordered the Fish & Chips and a regular burger. The Fish & Chips, even after being driven home 10 mins away, was still steaming hot and crissspppyyyy. The sauce that came with it also complemented it well and we would definitely come back just to order this again. The Bad: The burger on the other hand ... was super sad. Maybe it could've been better at the restaurant but ... the party was flavorless (like they forgot to put salt), it was not juicy, and the buns were a disappointment. The only great thing about this burger were the chunky large pieces of pickles. &Just the Tip: No tips yet... will return to check out other items on the menu. Taste: 6/10 Price: $ Rec. to a friend?: Yeah... not terrible. Would come back to try again and bring some friends. Consistency: 1st time Presentation: packaged well in the Togo containers. Parking: plenty of spots in the lot. read more

An easy walk over from the Doubletree Suites. I was glad to find a brewery which also has food. The beers were exceptional. These folks know what they're doing. For food, I ordered the Loaded Tots Oxford Style. Came with nice chunks of pulled pork and hit the spot. I also wanted to try their Garlic Habanero Wings. I was warned they're very hot and they were right!! I couldn't finish more than 2 before asking for a separate cup of plain hot sauce. The garlic habanero was excellent, but definitely too hot for me. read more

Outstanding!!! Their brews are solid. A great music playlist (90's) and fantastic food! Their pretzel is the best I've ever tasted.

One of the staff members asked us how things were today and when we were happy he mentioned that things have been improving and they were still working out some kinks. I get that, it's still a fairly new place. I also appreciate the candor. Personally, I had no issues and very much enjoyed the beer, food and staff interactions. The inside is a large open space, they have a huge selection of beers, lots of food offerings and a small patio outside to enjoy. This is their second location, and I love that it is a woman and veteran owned establishment. I will happily be back to see how things progress in the future, as I think they are off to a great start. read more

This place has just recently opened as we saw the signs on the road telling people they were open. It is located in a small strip mall area right off of I-40. There was adequate parking. There was indoor and outdoor seating. It did not appear that they served food at this location. They have some of their own beer as well as other NC options. This appeared to be a trend in the area with beer options. We sat outside and they brought the flight out to us. It is a nice place to hang out and try some different beers! read more

Another trip, and another great experience. I was debating between the pizza and the burger last time, and decided to try the pizza this time. It did not disappoint! Large chunks of meat, good to perfection. My buddy went with the Carolina Gold wings, and along with being delicious, they were also pretty large. The pretzel we got to start things off was huge, and so good! Once again the staff was extremely friendly, and it was a very pleasant experience. read more
