Hi-Wire Brewing Durham

The Chuck E Cheese of breweries. Good beer, cool building. But FILLED with children running all over. There was a 1yr old bday party with several reserved tables on a Saturday afternoon. At a brewery. Strollers in the aisles, kids throwing ping pong balls. Listen, I’m a parent and not a total jerk, but nah. The sign when you walk in says kids need to be supervised (and I don’t put this entirely on the staff), but clearly it’s a suggestion and not a rule. Anyways, I’ll likely visit on a week day again.

Cool spot and good beer but the amount of kids in this place is too much.

Good beer. But why are there so many kids here? I don’t understand it. Birthday parties for your 5 year old at a brewery? Wanted to come and relax away from my kids only to be met with an insane amount of other peoples kids. My friend just got hit in the head with a balloon. Seriously? What a joke.

I love this place. Beer is eh but the bartenders are solid ~ they are authentic real people serving beer. It feels like a little piece of home. And it’s a buzzing atmosphere ~ there are lots of fun outdoor games and events. It’s definitely a family friendly atmosphere. If you go on monday, wear yellow

Amazing beer! Great vibe with lots of space and even had games like ping pong and soccer pool that our daughter could enjoy!
