What People Are Saying About Brewery

In Short – It's the place to see bands before they're big. And then again when they get kinda big. There's a stronger vein of Metal running through the Brewery than in some of the other local clubs, making this Raleigh haunt a good bet for folks longing for that painfully slow-to-die genre. Don't be intimidated by its proximity to NC State University. The crowd is largely mixed and rarely dominated by undergrads.

Great place for music.
by lessthanzero
I have been going to The Brewery for several years now and I have to say that it is, without a doubt, the most fun I ever have going to a show. The space is small and dark, which makes it perfect for intimate or even high energy shows. I love how close the stage is to the audience. This makes the experience so much more fun. The bands also use this to their advantage to really interact with the crowd.
This place does get really smokey so anyone who is sensitive I would recommend going outside from time to time if you are able. The bathroom is always messy which I am 100% sure is due in part to the audience and not the staff.
A great place to discover new bands and get to spend some quality time with your favorites.
- Pros: Great bands, low prices, hot bartender.
- Cons: Bathroom is always wet!

Best live music spot in Raleigh!
by Janna1978
The Brewery is the place to be to see bands before they get famous. In the past few years I have seen Panic at the Disco, Red Jumpsuit Apparatus, Cartel, Halifax, Boys Like Girls and more! I don't like real big places to see live music. The Brewery is the perfect size. And to be a smaller place they have a real good beer selection. And the staff is really nice. My boyfriend and I go a couple of times a month.
- Pros: Killer acts, beer selection, nice staff, parking near the building
- Cons: Too small to get the larger acts, only open for live music

THE place for live music in Raleigh
by ronburgundy
The Brewery is a landmark for live music. The staff is friendly, the bartenders are hot and the bands are great. Having been a patron for over 10 years, I can honestly say that The Brewery is always on the cutting edge of the music scene, but still manages to mix the shows up with bands that are currently popular. Acosutic rock one night, hip hop the next night, hard rock the next night - you get it all at The Brewery. The Brewery lost a lot of its steam in the early part of the 00's, but new management or owners seem to have restored it to its past glory. The Brewery is once again the top spot in Raleigh for live music. They have also added liquor to the bar, improving the experience even more. Enjoy!
- Pros: Brand new PA, Friendly Staff, Great Booking
