Vecino Brewing Co. - Carrboro

This place changed management at the beginning of the year and has only gone downhill since then. The unique beer selections and brewery is gone, the old friendly staff is gone, and all the pride flags that used to be in the windows are gone. The food is fine typical bar food, but it’s lost all it’s old personality. I won’t be coming here again. What a disappointment.

Very enjoyable brewery with a multitude of beer and cider options. Most options were non-traditional meaning all 8 items I tried in two different flights were all new and enjoyable experiences! The food was decent and came in sharable sizes. The shuffleboard inside was probably the highlight though!Food: 4/5

Passing through the area, the nights stop seems to involve a brewery. Good policy, no??Vecino popped up and offered food as well as beer. And here we are.Parking, just go to the deck. Free. Busy stop on a Saturday night.Walked in and found where the tour bus guys were, playing at Vecino. We enjoyed their choice of tunes, as it seems did everyone.It’s a nice large space, in and out, tables were full but grabbed two bar seats, perfect.Nice beer menu, Lots of Haws Brewing stuff, not sure what’s in house, I didn’t ask, but the choices were good. I enjoyed my beer, had a few tasters as well. All was good. Beer is a personal thing, so roll your own on that.We had chips and salsa to start. The salsa was different, a bit thicker, very scoopable, saves your shirt, well mine anyway.I went with the chicken sandwich. Made with a thigh. Hmmm I thought. The thigh is definitely tastier than a breast I’ve heard. So I tried it.Well I’ll tell ya, THE best chicken sandwich I’ve ever had. Lol. And I’ve had a few. The in house pickles. The topping. The brioche. Good.I raved so much the kitchen manager came out. Lol. That was a fun chat. The bar staff were attentive as well. Good stop.I’d go back.

Cool local brewery with a small menu but large selection of local craft beer. Spacious with a big outdoor area as well and games. Got a flight to try and loved it all!Food: 5/5

Great beer and service! Bartenders are super nice and knowledgeable of the beer!
