Took a Sunday drive with the family and decided to try this place out. Huge Beer and Cider selection. Great spacing between outside tables, sanitizer stations. *They do enforce no mask no beer. Which I think is fabulous 🙂* Super clean, fabulously friendly. Best of all I can take my pup Nikolai! They also, have various food trucks popping in and out. We have a selection from Wicked Good Pretzels. Check them out if you see them about town.

I always have a great time sampling the local craftbrew on tap here! The brew tenders are exceptionally great and knowledgeable about their craft! The shuffleboard and cornhole are always fun and I love when they have live music too. You must visit when in Southport and I recommend picking up some of their cool merch! I have a hat and shirt and both are quality and cool!

Variety of beers on Draft as well as cider and champagne choices. So glad they had Lobster Roll Truck which was amazing. Limited seating indoors but outdoor seats and some cigars available for outside.

Stopped here to kill some time before dinner but ended up staying and eating from the food truck that came at 5pm. Selection of beer and wine was impressive! We tried so many! My favorite was the peach beer mimosa! Nice setup. Conducive to spending time talking with friends and family. The prices were not bad and the folks were very friendly and accommodating! It was very clean and there was ample supplies of handgel. Seating was grouped for social distancing. All in all a great place!

Certainly glad I don't live in Southport because I would never leave this place. Excellent selection of beers. Nice atmosphere. Didn't take advantage of the food truck as we were on our way to dinner, but what I saw coming out looked really tasty. Timing was also good as we got to jump in on some music bingo!

Cool little spot just outside of Southport NC. Super friendly and helpful with beer selection. Seating indoors and out. Husband enjoyed the stout and I like the lime brew...(light and refreshing).

Stopped by at 8:30 on a Monday night just to grab a pint, but the way we were treated you couldn't tell it was close to closing time, even asked if I wanted to keep the tab open. Beer selection was great, on draft and bottles. Will definitely have to swing by here when things are full swing.

I had my wedding reception at southport tap and cellar and it was perfect! Genevieve is an incredible bartender. Made sure my husband and I were well taken care of. Dave who typically hosts trivia MC’d for us and absolutely crushed it! They were super accommodating and made our day truly special.

Great selection of cold beers & drinks! Brian was nice & did a great job pairing me with the perfect beer! #13 was spot on I also enjoyed the #1! Dawn & Jabbertown Jazz added to the great experience. We also enjoyed the cheesesteak food truck! Thank you for allowing us to put our chairs out early to enjoy the 4th of July parade! We plan to enjoy your cold drinks and band you have planed to start right after the parade.

So wonderful! 💜 I cant wait for the grand opening! Unique and tasty beer that is still light and on theme for the time of year. 🍻 I LOVE the blackbird brewery collaboration beer SO MUCH!! 🧡 It embodies what the family who owns both establishments (this and blackbird) enjoy about beer and brewing in my opinion! Cant wait for the season to kick off here 🙌
