Mark PobleteApril 19, 2013Multiple local- and style-themed sample flights and dozens more on tap, plus well-informed and engaging bar staff, make this place a must-visit for craft beer lovers in the Raleigh-Durham area.
Home Sweet BeerApril 25, 2013Located within the pleasant American Tobacco Historic District, Tyler`s is a must for the beer lovers! Hundreds of American draft beers, we advise u to start with the different beer samples they have!
William VaughanFebruary 8, 2016One of the standby drink locations when out and about in the Bull City! Good memories from here with friends.
Eat, drink, play...all right below the office. Great place. Great location. And you can order beer in half pints.
SarahOctober 27, 2012The bartenders are very knowledgable. Nathan is esp. patient. Changed drinks. No fault of the bar; confusion on our part - and he was very cool. Never interrupted our experience. He's brilliant.
Alexandra ValladaresDecember 6, 2014Garlic fries!!! :-) Yummy! The max experience is getting a table in Max's section! Great food + great service =bliss :-) :-) :-)
Burgers are awesome! Heard the chicken fried chicken was also awesome but I will return to determine for sure.
Tracy LoweJanuary 25, 2015Love the big pretzel and question dip. Could eat everyday! Best place to go while at dpac.
Phillip RatoonMay 24, 2013Whenever there is a pair of twins at Tyler's your table can get free garlic fries for asking them, "are you guys twins" in front of a waitress.
Swift SwiftNovember 18, 2013Garlic fries and fried pickles were both awesome. Ask for extra Ranch Dressing so you can dip both.
For lunch, the Carolina Cuban sandwich is amazing! Oh, and you can't forget the garlic fries and fried pickles with homemade ranch.
Emily BrownFebruary 20, 2014Don't be afraid to ask for recommendations and samples. So many wonderful micro brews.
The garlic fries are amazing! And the chicken pot pie is out of this world. Plus, the Speakeasy is always fun!
Great atmosphere. Sunday nights are real good but leave the kids at home.
Got amazingly fast service before a show at DPAC! I can't say that about any of the other restaurants at American Tobacco. Sit and order at the bar.
Michal SchmittOctober 12, 2015Good nachos and burgers. Patio by the water is great. Decent beer selection but higher price. Service is all around pretty slow.
Sit in the speakeasy, there's a different beer selection but you can still order off the same menu.
Jess HarveyNovember 12, 2017Not the service. here 30 min & these bartenders haven’t attempted to take my order. Menu looks great. Can’t order it. One did go get himself some soup. The other is candid about his golf game.
Foursquare garlic fries still honored -- just ask for them!
Phillip D.April 21, 2012Awesome draught beer selection! Great place to come after a Durham bulls game
Derek ColbertApril 18, 2016Food had no flavor thought being in the south there would be some kicking catfish and red beans and rice.
Neu ConceptsSeptember 30, 2011Try the sweat potato and garlic fries! Tyler's is one of our favorite lunch time spots!
Corey WardFebruary 29, 2012Check out the speakeasy in back with pool tables, foosball, and arcade games.
Craig TAugust 19, 2012I love this place, but the bar is understaffed. It takes an eternity to get served at the bar, which is very frustrating.
Daniel AcquaahApril 21, 2010Tyler's is awesome. 60 different beers on tap and really good food. Sit outside if weather permits, there's a waterfall.
Jason BaxterJune 9, 2012It's where people from Raleigh go when they think they want to hang out in Durham. That's about the beginning and end of it. Tobacco Road is better, but skip both and head to Bull McCabes.
Nicole FranchettiOctober 3, 2011Great beer and garlic fries make for a good working lunch in Durham.
Rick KupselaitisOctober 10, 2010bourbon stout chicken is fantastic. make sure you ask for any new beers that aren't the menu.
Maria Sheila HodgeSeptember 11, 2011check in with foursquare n u get FREE GARLIC FRIES!... they are good!:)
Brooklyn Brewery brews are fantastic! As are the garlic tries and homemade potato chips.
Pint night is every wed... Get free garlic fries with your pint using foursquare special
Maurice SykesNovember 20, 2015Don't get the burger! Has no flavor. Garlic potatoes good but tots better. Good beer selection
