So helpful in choosing a beverage and very easy to chat with. We enjoyed ourselves very much and will most definitely be back in the future! Show less

Low key the most reliably delicious beers in durham. Never had a bad beer by them. They always have something interesting too (not just an IPA warehouse). What’s more impressive is that they keep this 5 star rating consistent while also changing up their menu regularly (unlike horse-dinosaur and oth... Read more

There’s a lot of great places to drink good beer in Durham and this place is no exception. Bringing in food is allowed (even encouraged) so it’s a perfect place to sit and drink with takeout from the Durham Food Hall across the street. The covered deck overlooking Central Park is a huge perk and pet friendly, although there are limited seats and they can fill up fast if there is nice weather or live music nearby on the lawn. Beer is really good, I enjoy the Opacity hazy IPA that is one of their standards - plus they have seasonal rotations and a few alternatives for non beer-drinkers. Staff have been welcoming and kind every time we’ve been in. Show less

We hosted our post-wedding brunch at Glass Jug and it was so much fun. We rented it on a Sunday morning and they generously opened early for us. Maggie and Kendra were our bartenders and they were amazing. They let us add centerpieces to the space as we wished and kept the drinks flowing. People end... Read more

From a small and aspiring brewer in NH, I love to visit and try all breweries when I travel, and the Glass Jug does a wonderful job of providing a warm and inviting atmosphere. The selection of beer and cocktails is great for beer lovers or those dipping their toes, and has options for those timid or even wine lovers. I highly recommend trying the exciting things like hard Ginger beer, something fun like these sours. You won't be disappointed! Show less

An unexpected, amazing find on the park. Get your locally crafted beer to go if you please. I’ve tried four different beers so far and all have been really good. So far the 40 East is my favorite.

An unexpected, amazing find on the park. Get your locally crafted beer to go if you please. I’ve tried four different beers so far and all have been really good. So far the 40 East is my favorite. This place is definitely worth checking out if you like excellent beer. They have a large selection for a micro-brewery including sour and specialty beers. Love this place! -- Update: I've tried a few more and all are exceptional. These guys aren't just making beer; it's obvious they are lovingly crafting it. Show less
