Lord have mercy I had some serious problems locating this establishment. Especially since the sign is all but invisible at night. But it was worth the search. I’ll definitely be more prepared with a full map if I’m ever in the area again so I can visit Horniblow’s. The whole bar is upstairs overlooking the Edenton brewing operation. Just a few locals were hanging around the bar. I think the building used to be an office, because everything is very sparse and divided, though I really like the atmosphere. In different rooms one can find board games, bar games, billiards, ping-pong, vingtage arcade games, etc. The selection of brews was satisfactory. All in all, it was a most excellent place to unwind from all the stressful road rage I was suffering earlier.

I think this place is fabulous. hugely friendly and knowledgable staff, awesome your-best-friend’s-basement-style ambience, free pool, darts, and ping pong, plus excellent beer. what more could you be looking for? it’s hard to find but worth it. three separate rooms with table lamps, couches, and just the feeling of hanging out with interesting people where striking up a conversation at the bar is a good thing, not a good way to meet an alcoholic. a great neighborhood bar; i wish i could go more often.

This is a bar attached to the Edenton Brewery. Not an awe inspriring place, but pretty cool. Located in an industrial part of Raleigh north of downtown. They had 7 of their beers on tap and a beer from Otter Creek Brewing in Vermont. No food, but they let you bring in or order anything you’d like. Free pool, darts, ping pong. The staff are very nice.

The crowd was pretty much only the locals kind of hang out. The taps were broke the night I went so they were serving bottles, but the beer was pretty good. Very small and not much to do but run your mouth and drink beer.

Small place more or less attached to the Edenton brewery. They actually get some pretty decent microbrews on tap in addition to the Edenton beers. Friendly service too.

Cute place. Not too much going on as you’d never know where to find it. Not too crowded which is nice and not overpriced.

Ok if you don’t know this place exsists you will not know where it is or how to get there. The beer on tap is great (Edenton Brewing Company). If you go here you will be hanging out with the Edenton guys so converstation is great and always about beer, also they have a free pool table.
