VBGB Beer Hall and Garden

Looooooove the beer selection here, and they are awesome because they will let me sample several before making my selection (I'm picky about beer). Tuesdays are especially awesome when they have great beer specials. Food is good; chicken spinach and feta brat with grilled onions and peppers is delicious as is the quinoa salad! Will definitely be back; it's a favorite.

The bartenders are all very friendly and easy on the eyes. Don't order a mixed drink...it WILL be watered down, no matter how much you tell them you want it strong.

Never in my life did I expect to play something called "Cornhole". It's just a sack of corn that you toss into a hole. Seems pretty boring, but after a few drinks in...it becomes fun cause you're trying to concentrate.

The beer hall itself is nicely laid out, spacious...lots of seating... They have sand where you can play volleyball. That's a first! And ping pong tables, giant jenga, giant chess and giant connect 4.

VBGB is fun and a great environment for enjoying a beer before a concert with friends at NC Music Factory. They have a great beer selection featuring lots of local and North Carolina breweries and the food is decent enough (could be better in my opinion). I really like the layout of ordering food at the window, they just add it to your tab and bring it out to you. Still hungry after your pretzel, just go order something else! The pretzel is delicious but the beer cheese needs a little work - tastes like some kind of velvetta/American/nacho hybrid - cheddar would be better! Worth getting though, I definitely go for the beer and atmosphere. Lots of seating inside and outside too.
