An obvious stop for any beer fan in Raleigh. The unicycle is a rotating hop beer so it's very hit or miss but worth the risk.

Cool place with a fun cycling vibe. Get a wheel with their main five beers. Good stuff, but not knockout amazing.
Eric AndersenFebruary 9, 2017
Tasting Wheel FTW! Get the Top 5 Beers because it includes Whitewall which will change your perspective on beer!

The holy mole porter may just be the best porter I've ever had. If you haven't had videri chocolate and you live in Raleigh, you're missing out. That and a serious habanero bite make this beer great.

Having ther 1 year anniversary party 8/9/14. They will have the street closed off for it. Make plans to go! Good people and awesome vibe.

Definitely a genuinely nice group of folks working the bar - the brewer/owner perhaps the most if all. Less snobbish than Trophy Brewing, for sure!
Pattie HoflandSeptember 21, 2014
Love the open building and the beer was pretty good! Got the flight but didn't know which was which so that was a shame
Bo AmbrogioJanuary 17, 2015
The customer service is out of this world, the beer is awesome, and the atmosphere is friendly and relaxed.
Erika MachadoMay 1, 2014
Get the tasting wheel and try them all... totally LOVE this place! I'll be back every time I come in town!
Shahrooz ShahandehApril 19, 2016
Try the top five brews on the board as a part of the flight.
Anastasia BelozertsevaFebruary 20, 2014
The beer is delicious. Also, love the atmosphere, with all the board games and wheels used for decorations

Love place, but 1st disappointment today. Trail Bandit is a peanut butter chocolate stout? I say nay. Still think u guys are great though!

Try their single hop series - Unicycle. Each batch is brewed with a unique hop.
Christine CasoriaJuly 30, 2013
The Holy Mole porter was my favorite by far! Nice outdoor space, too.
KFebruary 16, 2016
Great service. Beer was not the best I've ever had.

Small batches, constantly rotating taps: gotta catch 'em all!
Aaron KuiperJuly 26, 2013
Great beer. Great people! Immediately love this place.

I think the Unicycle Pale Ale is their strongest... And I'm not a fan of pale ales.

Great downtown Raleigh craft brewery option.

Short on help. Two beers I wanted to try were out. Will try one more time.

Boy, the holy mole is good; but beware of the kick at the end! Not for weak pallettes!

Dunkelbiken a nice mellow dark wheat

Unicycle, Eat. Sleep. Bike, and Holy Mole are all dandy (read dank) brews.
