Nickelpoint Brewing

Amazing brewery that had a large variety of beer and wine. They also carry Angry Orchard and I tried the sour cherry cider for the first time last time and it was delicious. They had a comedy event from 8-9:30 and the show was great! They have outside seating and games as well as outdoor fireplaces for chilly nights. They sell Brumate insulated drink tumblers, tshirts, hats, and other items in their retail store.

Lots of space to stretch and enjoy a few brews, wines, or mimosas. Tons of interesting games and things to fiddle with, with a sorta kitschy feel. Drinks for drinkers and non-drinkers alike. Food trucks roll through now and then it seems, and they have bands in sometimes. Tender was amicable and the service was quick. Prices were about $5 for 10 oz and $6 for 16 oz. Beer variety was a highlight! Easy breezy visit. Parking is sorta lacking, and you've gotta hope there's a space along the road.

Hipster heaven in the city! The decor and vibe are great. Centered around a VW bus and a kiddie pool turned into a coy pond this place is unique, eclectic, fun and welcoming. Sitting on the patio it's hard to believe you're so close to downtown Raleigh. It was pretty slow the day I visited. All of the staff and patrons were respecting social distancing and masks. All of the staff and guests were friendly and smiling which added to the great beer garden vibe. For the beers I did a flight and enjoyed most! If you like a spicy beer the habanero Pilsner has a real kick! I also tried the coffee stout, black ipa, ipa, and chocolate stout.

This daycare facility has everything--a double decker bus, games, a nice outdoor patio. It's fantastic. Very affordable for childcare in the area, and they even have fruit slushies for the little ones. We like coming here on a hopping Friday night while our friends are having fun at a brewery or lounge. Place is absolutely filled with the laughter and screaming of children. But jokes on them--they serve beer too? Who would have thought ?

This place was pretty decent, somehow it didn't have a brewery vibe to me when I went, but nevertheless it was ok. The inside is relatively small. The service wasn't anything memorable, but not bad. The location is kind of off the map, but easy to find.The beers were fine, which is what matters most. I got a flight and liked almost all of the ones that we tried that afternoon. I would most definitely come back, because I didn't have a bad experience, just not a fantastic blown away one. There was nothing wrong with the place, and I think it has the potential to build a little more style. The atmosphere was overall average, beers good!

Beer is ok, average at best. The vibe of the outdoor area is a mess. Would be really nice on a sunny day if they had a cohesive look

This brewery had the potential to be great, but we left disappointed. The only positive was that there was a lot of space inside, and a decent amount of tables outside, to enjoy some beers on a nice day. We have visited numerous breweries in the area, and the service here was definitely at the bottom of our list. We were not greeted when we walked up to the bar to order. Rather, the employee just stared at us and looked bothered that we were there. Unlike most employees at breweries, he did not make any suggestions or offer to help us decide (which we visibly needed because we were looking all over the board for different beers.) When we did decide on a beer, the bartender handed us our beers and then just stared at us again. There was no mention of the cost or opening a tab, etc. We enjoy going to breweries because of the staffs. They are usually upbeat and helpful and appear to love their jobs. This was not the case. To make it worse, the beer was not good either. It had a terrible smell to it seemed flat. Because of poor service and the beer, we will not be returning here anytime soon.

This is a great little spot to enjoy a drink & hang out on a late afternoon. The atmosphere is fun for the entire family. There is outdoor seating but the inside is the place to be. There is an awesome old Double Decker bus inside with tables on the top. Lots of large yard games to keep non drinkers busy. This brewery has totally clued in by selling something for non beer drinkers. They sell mimosas with lots of great flavors. This brewery definitely has something for everyone. Gonna be a number 1 spot for the Fall too.

Some really unique seasonal beers on draft today. Really love the Almond Bros. lager (their Vienna lager with almond flavor- amazing) and Raspberry Wild Siren Sour Ale. The Blueberry ale was also nice, light and refreshing. Their other beers were very good too. Specials: $4 all pints on Monday, $6 flights on Friday, and $3 or $4 select pints on Sunday. Plus they have homemade root beer on tap, will have to bring kiddo next time to try.

Nickelpoint Brewery is the quintessential neighborhood bar. You don't go there for the decor or because the atmosphere is chic and super swanky or hister-esc like some of these new places. Whether it was their intention or not, Nickelpoint is bringing in the neighborhood! One of the reasons might be the odd location of one of Raleigh's newer (but certainly not newest!) brewery; located deep in a neighborhood off Five Points. I'm an IPA drinker, and while their English IPA won't blow you away, it's definitely on par with other Triangle Breweries for quality and complexity. With a monthly dog competition (dogs gain points every time their owner[s] visit) where a dog wins the converted "dog of the month" award, this place is FULL of dogs of all sizes and shapes. Along with darts, giant jenga, cornhole and trivia once a week, there's plenty of entertainment. When the weather's nice, you can lounge outside on the picnic tables and grab a bite from the food truck of the night (every night BUT Monday--but they make-up for that with $4 drafts on Mondays!). I wouldn't tell someone visiting the Triangle to make this a destination spot, but for a local looking for a chill and neighborly environment, this may be exactly what you're looking for.
