"Bida Manda and Brewery Bhavana in Raleigh faced a scandal involving a manager's racist comment, leading to the exposure of sexual assault allegations. This scandal resulted in the ousting of the entire top-level management team." - Matt Lardie
"In declaring Brewery Bhavana — a motley, ambitious mashup of a brewery, restaurant, florist, and bookstore in one vast, airy space — one of 2017’s best new restaurants, then-Bon Appétit restaurant editor Andrew Knowlton wrote, 'I started to believe in whatever this thing was. It wasn’t a concept or even a vision, it was simply an eclectic group of family and friends who decided to open a place together, each bringing their passions to the table.'" - Matt Lardie
"Brewery Bhavana released Service Pale Ale in an online beer sale. All proceeds from the exclusive cans go to an emergency fund supporting service industry employees who lost their jobs." - Jenn Rice
"An all-in-one craft brewery, flower shop, bookstore, and dim sum restaurant sounds like something made up by a bot created to generate restaurant ideas. Actually, though, all of that comes together to make of the best places downtown. Brewery Bhavana’s Chinese menu is made up of dim sum and larger plates, with a few high-end ingredients thrown in like scallion pancakes with bone marrow, and shrimp and pork shumai with caviar (despite this, prices are still reasonable). Head here with another person to stand at the long bar and drink a few of their 40 house-brewed beers on tap, or bring a group to the bustling but not deafeningly loud dining room." - Christine Byrne
"Raleigh’s Brewery Bhavana, which works as a brewery, dim sum restaurant, bookstore, and flower shop all at once since opening its doors in 2017, announced Feb. 18 on Facebook its first Soft Beer Fest." - Erin Perkins
