We visited a few breweries on our trip to North Carolina and this one had to be our favorite. They had a great beer selection, friendly staff, and we just loved the vibes of the places. All of the tables had been painted by artists and it was just a really fun setting. It's on a second floor and is located right by a few different restaurants so that worked perfect for us as we just came right upstairs after having dinner. Gizmo Brew Works will for sure be on our list to come back to when we visit again!

Nice chill spot to hang out and enjoy some drinks! Plenty of indoor and outdoor seating! We enjoyed picking fun beers for a flight. They also had some Bartender's Brewology pints on special for $5. These were a mix of 2 beers or a beer and a seltzer. We tried one and it was tasty!

Gizmo has their third location in Durham. It's in a neat spot with a good mix of indoor and outdoor seating. The beer and game selections were good. You can also buy games and merchandise. If you are in the area, it's definitely worth checking it out. Cheers!

Super cool, and notably colorful, spot in Durham! This was a great stopping point on our way to Greensboro - we got a chance to stretch our legs and let our little one get some fresh air. Speaking of which, I have to bet the outdoor dining on an upstairs patio is almost as large as the indoor space here!They have a TON of beer options - almost too many to choose, but we were somehow able to. I love that they offer small pours at smaller prices so you can taste a few different brews in 1 visit. Absolutely loved the variety of snack options (seriously - Lunchables and beer is a killer combo)! They've got merchandise including the standards (tees, coozies, bottle openers) and non-standards, like games and craft kits. On this date, they had a promo to buy a craft kit and get a beer. Very cool idea!We loved our brief visit here & wouldn't hesitate to return!

I enjoy coming here with friends. The stuff on tap is always interesting and the craft items inside are so cute. Would love to see more pottery vendors. The bartenders are alway cool too but I will say last time we went was trivia night and we weren't participating but it lasted from like 7-like 8:30/9. A long time.. The most frustrating part was that even though we were sitting outside it was blasting the questions and it was hard to chat with friends. I wonder if lowering volume or doing it indoors for people who want to participate may be better? Either way I'll definitely be back but probably avoid game night unless I went only for that.

After dinner at BBs my fiancé and I headed to Gizmos for a few beers. New places I always have to do a flight so I can get an idea of what beers a brewery has. Service was great and loved the seating. Being on a patio with the sun setting was top tier. Flight holder is so cute with the cog! We tried 6 different beers which gave us a good variety. Service was great and fast. Beers were good. Loved the new releases they had this month. Scovilliaus Maximus was delicious. Hoping that more Fall beers come soon, bc Oktoberfest wasn't a fave of mine. Still will come back to see what else is new.

I'm so excited Gizmo has a location in Durham now! It's also in a great area with other local businesses and there's a parking lot! I tried the following beers: Hibiscus Lavender Ginger Beer, Renaissance Man (a pumpkin coffee ale) and a Black Stiletto Stout. They were all delicious!I also enjoyed the live music outside but wish it wasn't so loud because it was very difficult to hold conversations with people.

Accidentally stumbled upon this place with a friend and it did not disappoint! They have lots of drink options (ciders and non alcoholic beverages available too!), games, snacks, as well as indoors and outdoor seating. Overall a pretty neat place with friendly employees, definitely worth checking out!

Pretty cool and chill place to hang out and drink some brews in South Durham. They are fairly new and pretty hidden but are located above BB's chicken in the University Hill area. You can sit outside or inside and I had a few of their "Dad Jokes" Pilsner which went down easily on a sultry Summer evening.On the outside porch area there is a nice view of the Durham "pickle" building (see pict). There are also QR codes on the tables where you can order some chicken sandwiches at BB's below and have it ready when you are finished downing a few brews!
