On a warm spring or summer day, there is no better spot to enjoy food, friends and beer than the deck at Boylan Bridge Brewpub. We had the Oriental wrap and the black bean burger on this visit, but have never had a bad meal or a disappointing draft in all of our many lunches at the Boylan. Don't miss... More

If you are looking for good Local brew, outside picnic tables (shared with others), a deck that is open to the street, Raleigh skyline view and laughter of friends... come relax and enjoy! If you're looking for service, on a tight schedule or want to impress, there are plenty of those in Raleigh, but this isn't it! 2 tips that... More

I've eaten at Boylan Bridge several times with very average service, but the last time was so bad I would NEVER go back. I has here with my wife and another couple for lunch on a Saturday - the service was below average to begin with (didn't have the first two items we ordered, ordered a third and told us... More

Was disappointed in the atomsphere as well as the service. We tried to sit outside, only to be "chased" in by some huge bugs! They were landing on the food and drinks, was not good. The service left a lot to be desired, even though they appeared to be well staffed.

Deck eating with great view of downtown. Service is simplistic so don't expect to overwhelmed. Great meeting place for friends, or in our case family including son and his girlfriend who are State students. Food is very good. Onion rings are best in Raleigh IMO. Asian chicken wrap is very filling and comes with a spicy sauce that is good... More

This is our second time visiting Boylan Bridge and both experiences were similar. The service and food are fine and the view is great, but for a Brewpub, the beers just don't cut it. The Pullman Porter is decent, with some nice chocolate and coffee overtones, though it is a little over hopped for a Porter. On the plus side,... More

The Amber Rye beer is excellent. The food is average. I think that explains why the menu keeps changing.

Built right on Boylan Bridge, it is the perfect place to watch the sun set over Raleigh. Multi-generational crowd. There is also inside seating, but why would you with that view outside?

Can't beat the skyline view while you are enjoying your beer - made on the premises. Friendly service, casual pace, very dog friendly.
