Great brewery in downtown Clayton. Nice ambience with cool events; yoga, live music, a nice rotation of local food trucks, and most importantly, great beer. Ample parking, reasonably priced drinks, an all around good place to spend an evening with friends and family. Kid friendly during the day events (like Sunday morning yoga for example), but I do wish they had more stuff for kids to do and adults alike; maybe Cornhole boards for the adults, things like that.Great local staple for the Clayton area.

Love this place. Good selection for beers. Friendly staff. Relaxing atmosphere. Dog friendly. Food trucks are good(especially when its stavis or mac house)
Deep River is a bit out of the way for a lot of us in the area. It has always been one of those places I knew I wanted to visit, and I liked the beers well enough, but was never able to gather the people together with the will to go. Well, recently one of my favorite local bands played there and I just bit the bullet and absorbed the cost to uber to and from by myself.Glad I did. The beer is EXCELLENT and youll find stuff here you wont find sold elsewhere. Its very much a locals place because they obviously hold it in such high regard (as they should).But dont let that dissuade you in any way. Not only was the staff nice but the local regulars I talked with were super friendly and down to earth. My only regret is that its not closer to where I live and that I didnt go sooner. I encourage everyone to make the effort to check it out!
Really loved our visit here! Despite how incredibly busy they were, our bartender was very patient and took the time to make recommendations based on our beer tastes that were spot on. She was clearly very knowledgable of the product she was selling and could describe every beer we tried in depth. Additionally, the beer was great! I personally really liked their Limetown Lager but was also impressed by several of their other beers. They have tons of outdoor and indoor seating as well as regularly visiting food trucks. Great time and customer service!
I had a great time at this Brewery!! Their beers are fantastic. There are food trucks available if you are hungry. There is plenty of seating. I enjoyed the live music. What a great relaxing evening!!
Great atmosphere and live music! The staff is friendly and welcome to all. Definitely one of the best places to go to in Clayton!
Staff is great. Happy with be beer choices and gluten free options like cider and hard seltzer. Brewery/ taproom is very dog and kid friendly. Keep up the good work.
Zero percent helpful…. waiting on a dmv appointment coming up in august while my license is out of date. The bartender wouldn’t serve me, all the while people are starting their tab while not getting I.D checked (still looking under 35). I don’t know why you wanted to single me out today but if your going to “have to abide the rules” please don’t pick and choose which ones they are.Will be getting everything back to normal at the end of the month but will make sure to spread the word that y’all aren’t helpful at all and like to single people out for no reason.Update because they replied.Wow I didn’t know there was a law where you didn’t have to be Asked for id if you regularly visit a place. At any given time one of those people could be in the same predicament I was in but you’ll still serve them is what I’m hearing?
This is a wonderfully set up brewery with very fine tasting brews. Clayton is a fine little town. I would ask them to please stock some fine chilled white wine and some fine reds. If youre going to serve first class brews, offer first class wines to the significant others who prefer a different libation.
Excellent.....beer. atmosphere, etc. Definitely will visit again!
After a short walk on the Neuse river trail, the Marzen hit the spot. Got there right when they opened so not crowed at all. Spoke to a couple folks and took a four pack home.
This place has 5 star beer and the grounds, brewery and food trucks are also 5 star. The problem is you cant eat your food or drink your beer without swatting flies the entire time. This would be understandable outside, but this even occurs inside.
Fun visit on sunny day. Plenty of outdoor seating as well as indoor area. Food trucks on the Sunday we visited. Little kids drawing with chalk while parents enjoyed a beer. Love their beer selection. Unicorn Tears is a great IPA.
Great variety of beers, always have quality food trucks and plenty of indoor/outdoor space!
Excellent musicians. Fun microbrews. Management is very hospitable. Dog friendly establishment- nice touch!
So much fun! Great beer, music, atmosphere!
One of my favorite breweries! Always great beer and a great atmosphere.
Fantastic brew and crew! We love Deep River!
Cool place! Lots of outdoor seating. Good selection of beers and bourbon drinks. Great food at the taco truck too!
Great beer. Fun atmosphere. Fun staff!
I go every Wednesday for music bingo and the best beer in town!
Great atmosphere. I love the Limetown beer!
Clean comfortable place to relax and have an awesome beer, or pick one up to go. Lots of styles to go with.Food trucks on the weekends rotate so theres often something new to try.
Stopped here on Saturday afternoon. Good atmosphere. Bartenders were friendly and knowledgeable about the beers. They have a good selection of different beers on tap. Seemed to be heavily to IPAs if you like that style. I personally dont. Would have liked to see a few other varieties instead of so many IPAs. Food truck was there for people that wanted something to eat.
Awesome!!! Fantastic variety of brews. Awesome service. Got a bit crowded outside, but inside very comfortably distanced. 🥰
Man, awesome place! Ive had deep river beers before but this was the first time Id been to the brewery. Great selection. Friendly staff and they practiced covid safety guidelines which is a huge plus! Cant wait to go back
Great brewery atmosphere and brews! My favorite is the old fashioned but the Lime Town is great as well! Perfect for a chill afternoon. Family/ pet friendly
Great atmosphere, the best beer in the area and awesome special events.
Amazing beers. Too many to drink in one stay!!!!
Family atmosphere. Great selection of cold fresh beers. Try the Donkey Sauce. Bring your kids, bring your dog. Theres even a food truck parked out back most days, so bring your appetite.
Their beer selection has expanded and improved!!! Perfect time of year to sit outside and socialize with a good brew!
The staff are so friendly and helpful... they’re just amazing 💯♥️💪🏻 I just wanted to say thank you so very much for the BEST service ever!!! They had live music tonight and really enjoyed the atmosphere. Can’t wait to go back 💯😊
Love this place! Great staff, the perfect day to have a beer outside.
This place is the prize of Clayton. The staff and owners are friendly, courteous, and amazing. They go out of their way to ensure customers leave happy and satisfied. They offer a wide variety of beers to please any kind of beer drinker. Their seasonal beers are something to look forward to year after year. They offer plenty of indoor and outdoor seating, provide a wide variety of live bands and holiday festivities. They do not serve food as they are pet friendly, which would be against health codes, but they do have a food truck available every day theyre open. Sometimes multiple food trucks. Ive seen reviews emphasizing that they only serve beer. This is false as they also have soda, water and more available for kids, designated drivers etc. However I would like to point out that this is a BREWERY, of course their main selection of beverages is beer. To question that is like going to Marthas Vineyard and complaining that you cant order a shot of tequila. Long story short, this place is amazing! You wont regret the visit or the beers.
Awesome beer, food, music and vibe! Crazy busy for a Wednesday night. Check it out!
Great spot to hang out. Beer is outstanding. Owners are great people that make this place amazing. Try and hit it when the Korean bbq truck is there.
I cannot say enough good things about not only the setting but more importantly the staff and owners. You feel like you’re in a family as soon as you walk in the door. Oh yeah great beer to go along with that.
Thats very good food
Great beers and atmosphere.
Its a nice little spot in downtown Clayton! The beer is always good and they have unique flavors that set them apart from the run-of-the-mill town brewery. I also like that they sell dog leashes! They dont serve food but thats okay because theres always food trucks on-site. I like that they have a no unruly children policy because kids at breweries are the worst. Deep River does get a bit crowded during weekends when the weather is nice, so we try to steer clear during peak hours.
This is hands down the absolute best place in Clayton, Smithfield, Garner, and Raleigh. The staff is AMAZING and the beer is Top Notch!
30 Apr 19 - UPDATE: Im updating my review based on a very professional and customer-oriented response i got from the owner. I was offered a reasonable explanation of the policy, an apology for the way my wife and I were treated, an assurance that the staff was educated on good customer interaction, and an invitation to return for a better overall experience. From a customer perspective, this is the best possible outcome. We will give it another shot. Thank you Lynn Auclair.28 April 19 - We are from Wilmington, NC and stopped by to fill a growler before going home (2 hours away). Was told they would NOT fill a non-Deep River branded grower bottle. Since we have many bottles at home I would not buy another one. Bad policy!!
Lobster Food Truck night on a Thursday. Food was amazing. The brewery hosted a nice evening, though I could have gone with out all the dogs and kids (almost made that a negative to MY experience, but some people like dogs inside where you are eating). First visit, the beers were very enjoyable, especially The Wit. An enjoyable place even when crowded.
Love it great space to have family get together close to home and very cozy and friendly
This was our first visit here and went for the St. Baldricks event. This place has tons of space, a great selection of beers and people with the biggest hearts! Inside and outside areas, handicap ramps, easy access to inside and restrooms that accommodate wheelchairs, plus. They do NOT serve food, but they have food trucks that regularly come in.
Good beer on tap here! Some of the not so common types can be hit or miss, but the IPAs and certainly the stout are really good.
Great place to come and hang out with your friends while having a few drinks. They often have musical entertainment so they also support the local music scene. They also have food trucks that rotate so you also get to try out a variety of food on each visit.
Always a super chill, fun atmosphere, completely comfortable and Ive been to many breweries that can say the same, but this one is above and beyond. Doesnt hurt the beers are top quality and the prices are a little better than normal. Also the bartenders are always the coolest, friendliest people eager to serve up a sample request (free, and as many as you want-but dont abuse that people!) or a happy pint. I cant say enough about this place. Their style is impeccable and the art on their cans is the prettiest Ive encountered. This place is ACES. Bring kids or dog. Outside or in, music and food truck perfect perfect perfect.
Best social distance 4th of July thank you stsff!!
Just ask for the DOUBLE Ds!
Deep River brewery is one of my favorite places to go on the weekends or Thursday night! The watermelon beer on draft in their 4042 Stout is absolutely amazing! They have trivia on Thursday nights which is really fun and they also have great live music and usually a food truck. It is even a family environment which I have never seen in a brewery but it works out well and is a great place for just about anybody (unless you hate beer, then you have some other issues)!
Great place to chill and relax. Beer selection is awesome.
Absolutely love this place. Awesome drinks. Amazing staff. Big grassy area for our twin toddlers to play in. Usually a great food truck. And the entire building is beautiful.
Went in to buy a birthday present for a friend. Picked up 2 types of beer in two 4 packs at a great price!!
Cottontown Lager is refreshing with crisp taste. My go to when not wanting big beer! Nice job!
Great Band, Great outside venue. Will be back
Great choice of brews
4042...need I say more? Seriously though, you can go wrong here.
Had lots of tasting with flights. I kept thinking every new beer was my favorite!!!! There was NOT one bad beer! We had a great time! And the food from the food truck was delicious! Overall an awesome time!
The best atmosphere with great indoor or outdoor seating. Staff is so proud of their craft beers - as they should be proud of their unique products. Just what Clayton, NC needs. Definitely my favorite place to visit. Food trucks that visit are amazing as well.
Love this place! Good selection of brews
Best beer in the triangle
Beer is great and service is fast, even when packed. However, we came because we heard the Lobster food truck on Thursdays was good. I will let you know IF I ever get any food. Slowest food truck I have EVER been to in my LIFE. The idea of a food truck is SPEED. Cousins Main Lobster is HORRIBLE. How they continue to operate is beyond me. They suck. But the brewery has good beer, too bad they have such horrible outside vendors.
Live music, food truck, helpful friendly staff, 2 pints and a flight for less than 20.
Good beer good environment
Love this place! Fun environment, great food trucks, nice staff! Still got the down home feel. Love this town!
I love this place and we go here all the time. The beer is amazing and the atmosphere is great. I am giving it 5 Stars because I never really had a bad experience but am writing to talk about the service...We frequent Deep River, we go almost every Wednesdays for Bingo and the girls are amazing. They move with urgency, are personable, have manners and are just genuinely into getting to know their customers. The service on the weekend has always been spot on as well and the service was top notch.We went yesterday (Thursday 4/11) and there was a guy beer-tender and another girl. I have seen the guy before on a Wednesday and Kisch was running circles around him. Yesterday, the outside was busy, there was live music, the atmosphere was awesome as always, but inside was not that busy. A little line formed, and the guy moved so slow like Eeyore and the girl didnt move much faster. They both just stood there, emotionless with a blank stares on their faces. He looked like he just smoked 5 bowls and she just stood there smacking her gum with her mouth opened. I was kind of shocked because it wasnt like any of the service we had before.Coming from someone who worked as a bartender at a club for years, customer service is key. It is not that hard as you dont have to make mixed drinks and not hard to remember an order you just took 2 seconds ago. When you are behind a bar, you shouldnt chew gum, but if you do, please close your mouth. When people are waiting in a line for a drink, and it is not all that busy, speak up, SMILE, and take multiple orders. Do some small talk with the customers to build a relationship. The bartenders here probably make pretty good money, but if you made more of an effort to showed some urgency, built some relationships, smiled, and use words like thank you and your welcome, you would make more in tips per customer.That might have been one thing that urked me, after the girl ran my card, and gave me the book, she just goes, Here. I said thank you, no response, I said Thank you again, nothing, a said it a third time and didnt get a single your welcome. These bartenders have a great opportunity if they just showed normal politeness that comes with being in customer service, but if they dont want to be in customer service, they should probably find a new job.It is a shame I am writing this because of one bad experience, but I will continue to support this awesome bar. This is for those who go in, and if yesterday was your first time, and the service was not great, give it another try. Try on a Wednesday or any other day when there are different bartenders.
Agree with the other reviewers...for how new this brewery is, their beer is fantastic and mature. I think they are one of the best breweries in the Piedmont, if not the best. And the owners are super-friendly! They dont offer flights, but they do let you sample as many of their beers as you want. The JoCo White Winter is my favorite and I will be sad when it leaves the seasonal menu. Go there now for great beer and friendly owners!
Most entertaining can label ever. Played with it for a solid 15 minutes
Went for their 5 year anniversary celebration. Aaron Ham and the Big River Band played in the warehouse and they had a good truck outside on the lawn. The music was great and the food delicious. I had the JOCO tater and Limoncello. Both were tasty and unique. Definitely a cool spot.
Extremely competent brewers. All the beers are well designed and crafted. Stands out among other craft breweries.
Very very disappointed in their customer service. Called earlier in the day sayings wanted to come for a keg of Rye and it would take me hour to get there. Arrived to sold out.... To add insult to injury they would not have accept my exchange keg which other than the DeepRiver sticker is the same and they wanted $100 for deposit. The beers are good granted, but some better sense of customer service is needed.
Nice patio. Significant crowd. Dog and small child friendly.
Nice location, seating inside and out. They have a little of everything on tap. My favorite right now is their summer seasonal watermeon lager and the River Wit. I have been there a handful of times and there has always been a food truck.
Great atmosphere, great IPA selection. Owners take a lot of pride in what they do and it really shows in the overall experience.
Fun place love music bingi
Great atmosphere. Fun events, bands an food truck.. Make sure to get Double Ds watermelon lager while its in season.
Great atmosphere, great beer. What more do you need?I LOVE the pumpkin porter, but havent really had a beer there that I dont like.
This is our favorite brewery in the area. Great beer and a great atmosphere. One of the reasons we really like this brewery is because we can bring our dog in and just hang out. Also they usually have stuff going on, and they sponsor the Clayton Rugby Football Club. The only reason this is getting 4 out of 5 stars is because if you want a growler they will only let you use one of theirs that they have prefilled. We love to get beer to go in a growler, but since they prefill them, the beer is usually flat. It would be great if, like most breweries, they would let you bring in your own growler and they would fill it for you from the tap so you know it is fresh and carbonated.
Friendly staff. Excellent beer. Food truck had great food. Love this watering hole.
Just what you need after a long work day. A good place to just sit back and chill with good folks, great atmosphere and fantastic bevergaes.
Awesome!! Even when it was crazy event like today they still make you feel welcome and personable!! Great beer and KID FRIENDLY!!! Setting the bar for all the rest!.
Beer is so tasty! I love the atmosphere here. The food truck addition is nice!
Great beer and a comfortable tap room. During the fall their Marzen is one of my local favorites. They host some fun events too.
