Wonderful beers and staff! Make sure to come out every second Saturday of each month for great beer, food trucks, and yours truly at the ticket table. Be Bring $3 in cash for the 12 oz beer samples!
This place is super cool. Shuffle board, ping pong, a food truck outside, and a slate of delicious beers. You can't go wrong coming here!
Renaissance HotelsMay 30, 2012After a couple of the famous IPA’s and a game of pool, head outside--the city’s best food trucks are here every night. For more local tips, follow us on 4sq or check out www.renhotels.com
Robert HorvickOctober 28, 2012Get a great local beer and play some bar games (free and plentiful). They don't have food but they usually have a food truck out front. A good place to hang out with friends.
Big Boss hosts free brewery tours on the second Saturday of every month at 2:00 PM. You can buy up to three 10 oz. samples for $1 each! Show up early because the line is usually long.
Best patio to grab a beer and hang out with your dog. Great people to talk to, beers never disappoint, usually have a food truck out front
Darryl CadyJune 9, 2015I have been there several times and it is always worth going great beer and nice people are there as well.
William VaughanFebruary 11, 2016Every beer they make is awesome; one of the front runners of the local brew places in the area!
We are here most every Wed&Fri nights some Saturday's and this Sunday for super bowl. Wings Poppers and more!! Caution "This truck makes wide turns and great Italian food!"
The News & ObserverJuly 2, 2012All of the beers are named for the nose art on U.S. military bombers jets. Try a Bad Penny, an English-style brown ale. Read more
Patrick FingerApril 19, 2015Much different atmosphere inside. They do have a ping pong table! I preferred grabbing my beer and taking it outside to hang out.
Joseph SilversMarch 25, 2016Great place to hang out. Don't miss the run clubs on Tuesdays in the summer months!
Two Guys PizzaApril 3, 2013We ALWAYS have Big Boss beers on tap on our bar side of the restaurant! Check it out at The Keg bar next door. $3 pints on Tuesdays!
- Top notch seasonal beers. Try the Harvest Time in the fall or the Aces & Ates or the Big Operator in the winter.
You're already here because their beer is awesome. Drinks lots. And make sure to attend their irregular festivals with live music, food trucks and good people.
Stephni HillJanuary 16, 2015Every second Saturday of the month stop by for 3 beers of their choice for $1 a piece
Julia SearsJune 1, 2013Get your beer in a plastic cup so you can sit outside and enjoy a food truck dinner.
If you're standing my the stairs, don't lean on the light switch. You'll make everyone angry, including me.
Make sure you come back for a tour. $1 12oz pours and a tour, good times.
Great beer! Friendly staff. Neighborhood bar/speakeasy feel. Food trucks are frequent. Close to greenway and easy to bike to.
My favorite bar in Raleigh. Get a flight so you can try all the beers
Cole FrancisApril 27, 2010This is a must visit venue when you are in Raleigh, NC. It's the home of some local beers, like Hell's Belle, and Brown Penny Ale. Read more
JessC ⚓September 8, 2011Check their twitter account on the tour days. The brewmaster will ask a question and you get free swag for answering correctly!
Lari BarcellosFebruary 19, 2016Really cool place and They have some good beers, but i had the worst beer ever there, i think the name was hells bells
Their regular beers are great, but be sure to try a seasonal, too!
Brian TibollaMay 1, 2012don't ask to get a growler filled on a Friday or Saturday. A disgusted look will be given to you. Great beer minus the attitude
Erica WilliamsFebruary 11, 2012The American flag at the entrance of where the tour happens is backwards!
Jarrett CampbellDecember 21, 2009Go to Big Boss Brewing Company, take the brewery tour, visit the tavern, and fill a growler to take home. Read more
