42 Craft Beverage

Nice small bar located in Garner on 42-(Street soon to be re-named -owner may change name of bar)Plenty of parking-with the road and building construction it is tricky to get in but well worth the effort.Bartender was Super friendly and helpful- many craft beers available for takeout or drink in.Bartender had his super friendly dog that just wanted you to throw the ball( dog came over because we wanted it too)Construction on bar will have new opening facing a different way to open to a patio.

Very cute place. However, there's not a huge selection. They do have many local craft beers, though.

Nice, friendly, welcoming little craft beverage shop/ bar. The bartender is always welcoming and will have a conversation with you. They have wonderful craft beverages in stock and also can order beers if you request it.

Great, fun little spot. Very welcoming. Taps are fresh and always rotating. Staff is very friendly and fast

Decided to give 42 Craft Beverage another chance after reading that it was under new ownership before heading to dinner and left impressed. Brad is definitely passionate about seeing this place do well! After knocking back a pint, I picked up a bomber to go. If I am back around the area I will definitely return.

It was our first time here and when we walked in the door it felt like family. April behind the counter was absolutely adorable, friendly and very accommodating. First impression of the place is immaculately clean everything perfect and its place. Huge selection of local beer, ciders and seltzers. Local beers on tap also to be had. This place has food trucks on the weekends :-) this was our first time and it definitely won't be our last. Highly recommend this perfect bottle shop.

We were in the area on a Sunday and stopped in for a pint and to browse the craft bottle selection. Craft 42 is open 1-6pm on Sundays so that does need to be updated because Yelp shows it as closed. The bottle shop has been under new management since October 2016 and Brad wanly greeted us and made us feel very welcome. There is a tv with Sunday football on and a bar area with 6 taps. 5 out of the 6 were local (Lynwood Brewing, Foothills, Starpoint, Founders from MI). There are coolers with bottles and then the other selection on regular shelves. They carry a variety of craft beer including several rarities. Brad did mention that he sometimes goes to places like Trophy to pick up kegs and everything at his location is fresh. They do not serve food however , there was a menu from Uncle Mug's with options from a local coffee shop. You can also bring in your own food. The prices are on point with Raleigh and other area bottle shops. Brad and his wife greeted all the customers and I could tell it was a local hangout. The bottle shop was extremely clean and the colorful beer signs lined the walls. You pay using Apple Pay or square. If you are in the 40/42 area, definitely check out this great bottle shop. The service and selection are excellent. Cheers!

I wish I could give two separate ratings. The shop, staff, and ownership are great. Unfortunately the last two times I've been to the shop, the same guy has been sitting at the end of the bar watching videos on his iPhone and vaping. It might just be me, but I think watching videos on your phone with the volume set to 11 is just inconsiderate. The only thing I have negative to say about the staff is that they allow it to happen. If you don't mind taking a gamble to see if the moron watching videos is sitting at the bar, it's a good place to stop and have a beer. You'll know quickly if he's there. Don't fool yourself into thinking he will stop because he won't. Now to address the vaping, I'll never understand why some young guy with a beard wants to make himself smell like a strawberry princess. Edit: changed my review from three stars to five as a direct result of the young lady behind the bar finally asking him to quit with the stupid videos.

Awesome place! Owner is super nice and crazy knowledgeable yet doesn't up-sell for the sake of profit. Very good selection of beers. Came in not expecting much and was extremely impressed. Will definitely come back...many times!!!

Good experience compared to last time now that this bottle shop is under new ownership. Stopped in to grab a beer before heading to dinner and left impressed. Good place to stop in to grab a beer and pick up some to take home.
