Fairly easy to find, but very difficult to find nearby parking. Try across the street at the art center. The place is somewhat small overall. They have a somewhat small but high quality draft list, comprised particularly of good belgains, including St. Bernardus and Qwak, amoung others. Food was pretty good, burgers and such. Not a lot of veggie options if that’s what you’re looking for. Definitely worth a visit, probably the best beer bar in the area.

The Primier beer bar in the Triangle if not the state. Inside and out side is an awesome place to sit and enjoy some of the best beer in the world both domestic and imports, and the bar food is second to none.

Looks like an old hardware store. The place has an english pub thing going on. Bartender was pretty good. The pretzels were great. The cheese was made from Spaten - amazing. Lots of beers in this place, huge Belgian selection. Good draughts. Proper glassware. Parking is ridiculous. Every place I found around had a sign reading No parking, For residents only, or No parking for Milltown. Be prepared.

Enjoyed this little bar. I was stunned at the bottle selection here. I was also very pleased to see that they had Hurcules IIPA on tap. MMMMMM! I didnt eat the food here and the parking was less than desirable, but a cool little bar indeed.

Had a great experience here. Met one of the owners (Scott) who was bartending. He served my friend and me and was very knowledgabe about the beers he offered and was able to make great recommedationans and chit-chat. Food was great and the selection was outstanding for this part of the world. Best resturant for draught beer/botled selection in central NC by far!

I was denintely impressed with this place. Let me just say that every beer that was ordered by me and by my friends (which was quite a few) was served in proper glass (with brand on glass)! I look forward to returning on a warm afternoon and sitting on the patio. Service was a bit slow...and I am pretty sure the person who took my order was on "X". Oh yeah did I mention the huge volume of belgian style beers? Overall this is an awesome place.

Visited in Oct 06. Kinda plain and drab look & feel (both inside and on the patio). Neat selection of beers both on tap and in bottle, definitely with a Belgian slant (which of course made me smile). Decent selection of lambics, although they were out of the Girardin. Saison Dupont on tap, other Dupont products in bottle, some Trappists (besides the usual Chimay), several De Dolle beers. Some bottles may not be very fresh, however, so you may want to choose things that are still good with some age on them. So yeah, you can easily be happy here if you’re a Belgiephile. The food was not bad, but nothing special. I would certainly go back if I visit the area again.

Awesome beer on tap here here. Of course there could always be a larger selection of bottled beers (very few places don’t suffer from this), but for the triangle area it’s one of the best. The food is very European (Frites & Mussels) and overall quite good. I had a grilled tilapia that was outstanding, although it was a special and not a regular on the menu. Scott, John, and Doug really know their stuff when it comes to beer. If you haven’t tried a new beer in a while, ask them to recommend something - you won’t regret it. I’ll be going back here often,

A great and very welcome addition to the constantly improving triangle beer scene. Very hip and modern atmosphere and decor. Been there both when its slow and on lively friday nights. Both enjoyable experiences. Service has always been great. Amazing selection of bottles (cantillons are present!!!) and a very good draught selection including Great Divide Hercules Double IPA, Duck Rabbit MilkStout, and Saison Dupont. Food is very good( some of the best bar food I have ever had--they have a vinagrette made with lambic and the pommes frites are delicious. Why would someone want to have Paulaner Salvator when they could have a Ayinger Celebrator?

This place enters the Chapel Hill-Carrboro beer bar scene at number one. Nice decor and great vibe both inside and outside at the very convivial beer garden area outside. A number of Belgian beers on tap that I’d only ever seen in bottles before. Bottled beer selection is considerable but I felt it could be more extensive. Why can’t I get a Paulaner Salvator, for example. The only dishes that I’ve tried are the Nachos and the Bruschetta, both of which were fresh tasting, but nothing special.
