Fullsteam Brewery - Durham

Dog friendly?When I went into the taproom i was told that dogs couldn 't be in there due to the kitchen and that they could only be in the front area or outside. Respectfully I complied... the front area is an open concept. We started outside and came in due to the sun. We stayed in the front area and a employee kindly brought my dog water. Then, the same person who told me about the dog policy came over and facisously went did you not understand what I meant when I said to stay in the front area? a little bit of advice.. maybe paint a line on the floor stating dog friendly people only since its an open concept... I will not be coming back. Unfortunate because it is a pretty cool spot but.. not a fan of being talked down to.

Absolutely fantastic brews in a really cool space. Megan was super helpful and knowledgeable about the different beers and led us to find our group favorite...the ASDR! She was able to describe the different flavor profiles in a way that was spot on and helped us pick options for our flights that we loved. She was very friendly and checked on us regularly. She and all of the staff that spoke with us were great! Highly recommend to check this place out!

There is ample seating with a ping pong table and beautiful decor. While we visited we had the pleasure of watching an artist work on a mural on one of the walls. The bartenders were extremely friendly and provided great recommendations. The peach sour and coffee pilsner were tasty and very unique! Have yet to try the food, which everyone says is great. Rating 3 stars because it was super warm inside. Everyone in our group was sweating despite giant fans. For a summer cold beer this is not the place to sit back and cool off.

Although I live in Raleigh, this is a go-to stop in Durham. Been coming practically since they opened, and they never disappoint. Some beers are to my taste, some beers aren't, but that's the beauty of it. They truly have something for everyone and a staff that's glad to help you find what's for you. Consistently one of the best breweries in the Triangle.

We just arrived in Durham, and were looking for a place to burn some time while waiting for friends. We found this gem and could not have been happier with our choice. This is a relaxed, family-friendly brewery with ample seating, and industrial fans for warm days. Great selection of beers, and although we did not eat, several people around us had what looked to be delicious appetizers and sandwiches. We enjoyed the Paycheck (Pilsner), Biscuit (wheat), and Oops... Again! (Pilsner/IPA blend). These three beers were fantastic. The bar staff was friendly and helpful and will allow you to sample beers. When we are back in the area, we will certainly be back to Fullsteam!
