The Broken Spoke is the new kid on the block. I'm a fan because in a sea of breweries, this is a distillery. My first beverage of choice is not beer and my husband doesn't drink beer at all so when we decided to rent a 15 passenger van and have him drive our friends around on a brewery tour, this place was 2nd on the schedule.
We actually hit this place up earlier this week as well not realizing they had not even had their grand opening yet. Here is what you get when you are there; a full bar, local brews from nearby breweries, a good looking menu (the couple next to me had some good looking pickled veggies in a jar to go with their sandwiches and fresh loaf of bread) and a cozy seating area. There is also a long bar that seats about 15. I don't think Saturday afternoon they had all the stools there but its quite accommodating. They have an upstairs too but I never went up there. The bartender told me there is a large 72 in screen upstairs. They play old movies on it and the TV over the downstairs bar during the day/night.
On the first visit I ordered the flight of their booze . There are four on the tasting board. Three are theirs and one is from another NC distiller. Two were white and two were aged. Not bad.
When I went this past weekend, I got a vodka soda with fresh grapefruit juice, They have a mule with grapefruit juice too so just know that when you go, there is a cocktail list as well as beer. I think wine too.
I would like to go back to snack on some stuff one day soon.
