Oak City Brewing Company

Okay local brewing fans in Knightdale, NC and the Triangle area this is a great place to come and wet your whistle and chill. Oak city has a good selection of brews both seasonal and a host of regulars. Sours, ales, lagers and stouts you’re likely to find what you’re craving here. Aside from some nice ac seating inside (which is limited) they have a covered section with picnic tables outdoors and a large grassy area for your camp chairs and the like. They host a lot of different activities here, and the St. Patrick’s Day Shamrock Shuck is a local favorite. Beer, music and oysters galore as long as you buy an oyster ticket ahead of time as they are limited. Staff are great, beer is great, parking behind the brewery and good times galore. Check it out!

If you are in the area or just want to try a good atmosphere, go there. Oak City Brewery is a really nice little place. They have a large selection of beers of all kinds for all tastes and likes. They normally have s good truck on the back of the business and they are also quite good. Very family friendly most of the times I been there is a lot of families with kids of all ages they have a big open area for the kids to run around and they have tables for you to sit. Overall every time I go here is a really good experience, staff is super friendly. Now heads up, if it's busy you more likely will have to wait s bit for your beer but the line moves fast, so just wait. Highly Recommend it! 🔥🔥🔥

I Went Oak Brewing Knightdale today Sept 13th 2025. Very disappointed in their beer selection. Some taps were out of order. We had one drink and I paid my bill which came up to $ 14.00. After I left, My credit card alerted me that my card was charged $20. I went back and the two people who were serving said they can’t do anything about it.

Great space and they actually have some decent gluten free options, plus food trucks on a regular basis. It looks like they have at least 2 gluten reduced options now, plus cider, seltzer and wine. The outdoor seating area is nice and large. Really wish there was a specific section for those smoking though since it ruins it for the rest of us that don't smoke or care to smell it.

I've had the pleasure of bartending here for the past few months and it's been, hands down, one of the best jobs I've ever had. Management is excellent, personable in a real (not "we're family") way, and organized (I got my schedules a month ahead of time!!!); the rest of the staff is also awesome and gregarious; regulars are amicable and always a good time. Just the sweetest place, y'all. Never a problem here. Dog and kiddo friendly, located right next to the park. Always holding cool events and the food trucks bring the sweetest of people (shout out to Berto's Chimis!) with a good variety of foods throughout the week. Check out the Markets happening during the warmer weather seasons, or cozy up inside the refurbished house-turned-bar and try out the new house brews. Great for hosting events, parties, etc. Check it out. It's a real gem right here in Knightdale. (Love and miss you guys already!)

I knew I found something special. That was the first thought I had once we found Oak City Brewing. This local spot is in Knightdale, which is about 20 minutes from downtown Raleigh and 20 minutes from my house in Wake Forest. It's located in a 1920s renovated bungalow in the historic district of Knightdale. But the best part is that it essentially is a giant park. They have a great outdoor beer garden with tables, lights, a sweet pergola and lots of open space. They are super family, kid and pet friendly. Every time we go we usually spend our time playing soccer, frisbee or spikeball will having some great beers. They have a small brewery on site, but also have a great selection of other craft beers, wine, cider and of course juice boxes for the kids. They usually have a food truck on site and if you go on the weekends you'll probably see an ice cream truck parked beside the Knightdale Station Playground, which is a massive and awesome playground directly adjacent to the beer garden. Like I said I knew I found something special when we first went there and it is defenitly in our rotation of favorite places. Support Local and head over the Oak City Brewing…we might see you there!

Cute little place, fantastic beer garden and plenty big taps to choose from! The staff were very friendly and definitely made me feel welcomed as a first time visitor.

I stopped by for a good brewski and tbh I’ve been here plenty of times before yesterday and the service sucked. It doesn’t seem anywhere near the southern hospitality. I didn’t care for the attendant but the beer was great. I’m giving a 3 so to the service I received. Your place may have great choices in beer and wines but when the service sucks it also affects your business. Plus the hours are in correct. Thursdays went by and they were closed on Thursday way before the closing time!

Impressed at this location and selections available. Staff was friendly. Outside seating available

This is my favorite place to hang out, get a great craft brew, and meet new friends. Food trucks most nights, great staff every night! Check out the events. First Friday is my favorite.

I went with my husband and our baby girl to Oak City Brewing yesterday to meet our friends and their little guy and had a great time! There are indoor and outdoor seating options, and trees and covered patio for shade if needed. We went around 5pm and it wasn't busy, so that was nice! I would assume this place gets pretty packed on a weekend. Plenty of space for kids to run and play, but do know it isn't fully gated/fenced and the street is right next to it. However, it's a great spot for families and the traffic is fairly slow in that area. I am not a beer drinker so love that they had decent wine options, yay! There was one bartender working (at least from what I saw), but he was friendly and there was only a minute or two wait for a drink. They have food trucks most nights and last night's was empanadas; they were delicious! I would recommend this cute and cozy spot for a family night out, date night, or fun night with friends! I can't wait to go back!

Always always a good place to chill!! Been a long day, been an easy day no matter what go hear grab a beverage and something from the food truck and enjoy an evening on the patio! Good selection of beers and ciders for those (me) that dont drink beer!!

First review since deleting all my content. Oak City is a great place to grab a local beer. Maibock tonight is perfectly made. Food trucks here often as well. Don't bother with BFF the Pig. Ok, Mac n cheese is good but brisket is dry like it was sitting out for 6 hours after being smoked much earlier. Tender but dry and for $21+ I expect Prime BBQ levels which just happens to be across the park but sadly closed.

I typically love this brewery and all of their events. However, yesterday all but one bartender we encountered was extremely rude. Not to mention they ran out of pumpkin ale less than 2 hours into the event. Absurd. The staff that works there needs to get off their high horse it was not even that busy.

Who doesn't love a brewery? I enjoy their beer options, they have a food truck most days, and their out doors space is lovely. It is family friendly which I love! Definitely recommend.

Decided to try this one since it's relatively close to home. Staff are incredibly friendly and very patient with first-timers. Great selection of beers on tap. Plenty of space outside for kids and families, but there are also spots inside for those of us without small children. Food trucks are always convenient. All in all, a great place to relax in the shade (or the air conditioning) with a cold one. We'll be back.

Always friendly and fun atmosphere. They host random food trucks which is fun . Some times that have live music and host sales events for local venders. Good selection of rotating beers on tap .

Stopped in during the week for an event. Loved the Indoor and outdoor seating. Not much of a beer drinker but happy to see they have wine and ciders. I opted to try the Blood Orange Cider. I loved the flavor. Enjoyed the outside seating, they have lots of picnic tables and food trucks.

At 9:15 on NYE an employee was telling customers they were closing and everyone needed to leave. When I said to her "but online it's been advertised all week that you're open until 10". Her response was "well then write a yelp review". So here I am. See attached picture of Facebook post with "we're open until 10" underlined with an exclamation point. And I get a snotty remark when asking about it.

Oak City Brewing Company was perfect to celebrate a Birthday (outside, socially distanced style)! We ordered lunch from Prime Barbecue and brought it over but a food truck is on site most days. The inside is currently only open to use the restrooms during COVID-19 so you will need to sit at one of the picnic tables or bring your own chairs and/or blanket outside. When you are ready to order beer you head around to the back to stand in line to place your order. I've been holding off on trying this spot since they weren't brewing their own beer but they have a few on tap now. We tried the rise and unwind coffee stout and it was decent. I'm excited to try this place again once more of their beers are on the tap.

Cool little spot. Huge outdoors area and close to the park if you have kiddos. Very pet friendly and kid friendly. Drinks were good as well. Would recommend trying.

Enjoyed our outing to Oak City Brewing. Only outdoor seating right now with plenty of space to social distance since it is next to a large open field. Recommend bringing chairs so you can claim some high-demand shaded space. Strict no mask, no window service rule. If you don't have a mask, they will sell one to you for only $0.80. 6 feet apart markers set up for the line to get beer. Beer is served in disposable cups. Hand sanitizer available too. Really felt this brewery took both their staff and patrons safety seriously during the COVID-19 pandemic. On the day we went, they had one OCB beer on tap - a triple that was delicious. More OCB beers were brewing and should be available soon if not already. Nice selection of guest taps in the meantime.

Great service, relaxed environment and great options even for no drinkers of alcohol. The social atmosphere attached to park is awesome, board games and relaxed vibe among staff and patrons is very welcoming. Try the hop water, it's refreshing, no calories and great for someone who wants to socialize but stay sober without having to drink water. Also, they offer several options of beer on tap.

Love this little place . Enjoy the food truck . Super friendly staff . Love the location and all the neat little events they have .

Super Chill This place is absolutely lovely. Beer is good, staff is even better. Probably the best thing in Knightdale.

We visited today with our family from out of town. The bartender was quick to greet us while still helping other patrons. Their menu selection is very large and they have food trucks at least 5 days throughout the week. We ordered a cider, a stout, a pale ale and one of oak citys own ipas. The drinks were delicious and there was plenty of seating for the 4 adults, 3 kids and a baby in our group. I love that they are dog friendly and their location is a perfect location near a park and right in downtown!

We love our neighborhood brewery located directly adjacent to Knightdale station park. They have a large selection of brews on tap with variety in the selections occurring frequently. They have a food truck at their location from 5:30 to 8:30 pm. We brought our family from out of town here during thanksgiving week and they loved it. Children are more than welcome, very family friendly. Lots of space outside to run for the little ones. Also pet friendly! We love bringing our puppy here and meeting all the other pups. It does get crowded on the weekends, but that is because it's such a great place to grab a beer with family and friends.

Good food the only thing I had issues with was it was a bit tricky of a process to actually figure out the menu

Wide variety of unique beers and ciders available. Really laid back an chill environment. Cashier was really nice an informative an knowledgeable.

You know beer, cider , & good times are on the menu . The beer tap calls you back with the crisp cold goodness - The staff remembers your order , offers great recommendations - food trucks. & open space ‍ what's not to love

Best place for beer drinking in Wake County. There is an open field for children to play and a park for kids across from the parking lot. Also, across from the parking lot is a dog park. Awesome location, great beer, and friendly people. There are frequent food truck throughout the week/weekend. They have several events throughout the year.Come have a brew or just come hang out.

Great selection of beers on tap. The service was friendly and the place was really laid back. The bar staff was extremely knowledgeable about the different beers. Great place outside too! They have a nice pergola area and heaters for winter.

Great service, atmosphere, and food! A bit pricey but worth it. Reservations are recommended.

Fun place for the family. Decent draft selection and beers. My only complaint is I spent the better part of an hour waiting for food at the food truck

Stopped in here on a whim on our way back home from Raleigh. We were traveling with our dogs and just wanted quick lunch and a beer. The weather was awesome so we got a gyro at the Greek food truck - which was amazing - and had a few beers outside. The bartender was awesome and gave us very knowledgeable suggestions and feedback and as many samples as we needed to make up our minds. The outdoor area was nice and dog friendly and we had a great time. Perfect little end to our "Oak City" trip.

I'm sure this place has decent beers...but... I asked for a sample and the bartender would not serve me one. He said they were worried more about masks than samples! Lol! I'm headed to another brewery,

We heard this business offers a great run group. My wife and I met a few other people from another run group and they recommended this location. We came on a cold January day. We loved that this business is nestled right inside the neighborhood, definitely a part of the community. The atmosphere was nice and quaint. After the group run we noticed they had a food truck out back, we ordered some tasty burgers to reward ourselves after a nice workout. The burgers were great! The rear of business had a nice patio. I'm sure it's nice in the spring and summer. We can't wait to check this place out again. If your a runner check out the run group, it's a great group of people.

Oak City has a great selection of beer for the beer lovers. Ciders, to Blonde Ales, to Hazy IPAs, and everything in between. And not just their own. Staff is kind and knowledgeable. The environment is comfortable and the outdoor area is perfect for drinking with your dog or your friends. Honestly worth the drive even if you live in Raleigh.

Great place!!! The aesthetic and atmosphere is always fun, and relaxed! The "yard" and plentiful seating, places to drop a squat is perfect for everyone including families with kids of all ages. Sometimes it takes a bit too long to get your brew, especial when crowded. No wait staff, you line up at the window (1 window), or inside at counter (if it's open). On slower days (or no restrictions) there is limited indoor seating. But if you're fine on the porch, the garden, or the "yard" Then no worries! Usually a food truck there. Sometimes live music. Lots of groups meet up there. The brews are good but I'm a cider, wine person. They have a couple selections, but it mainly for the beer. I go because it's beautiful, and relaxing. Dogs welcome on leashes

Beers on tap inside a renovated house on the outskirts of Knightdale Station. Great beer selection, huge outdoor park, lots of seating. Kid friendly, food trucks and lots of fun. Bring a frisbee or football.

Delightful helpful staff, yummy local drinks, tasty food trucks, and amazing atmosphere. Go visit!!

Came here to have a beer and eat dinner at the food truck. Thankfully, their website even has a food truck page with a calendar showing which food trucks will show up on what days (presumably because anyone pondering adding food to their beer outing might not want just any cuisine - i.e. they could choose which night to go based on which food truck will be there). So we went on a specific night for a specific food truck - and it wasn't there. A different one was instead. Okay, things happen - so we asked the guy when we ordered beer when/if it would be coming and got a surprisingly rude and dismissive "oh I don't know" response. I totally get schedule changes or heck, mechanical problems with the truck, but don't respond to us completely baffled why we're politely wondering why the food truck featured prominently on your website (and one of the higher rated trucks in the Raleigh area) isn't in your parking lot an hour after their supposed arrival time.

Love our local brewery HARD! You cannot beat the beautiful outdoor space, that along with a great brew, occasional food truck bite, and relaxing in your camp chair, watching the kids run and play. Perfect respite for parents. They are adding in a handicapped designated area (which I am), a covered tent and more seating. All big bonuses. Just need a regular live music schedule and I'll never leave

What a neat little, well put together , GEM.... in old school, yet renovating area of downtown Knightdale...... This place should make it a long long time. Great service and selection. With a cool quaint vibe....

This is a great place! They have an excellent selection of beers on tap. The staff is friendly and clearly knows their beer. They will be making their own beers soon and I am definitely looking forward to tasting them. Check the calendar to see what food trucks they have lined up! The open space inside makes it a little loud once the place starts to get busy, but they also have a great outdoor space as well.

Laid back and friendly staff. Love sitting outdoors with the fam and dogs while sipping on their latest drafts. Excellent rotation of food trucks

In any town I travel to I look for local brewing companies, well this one came up on my radar. It was close to where I was working this particular week. I drove down and cruised by it, it's a house. Anyhow, parking was challenging. I went in and the "living room" was packed full of people. They have an awkward bar, 5-6 chairs but only room for 4 people. I asked what their beers on tap where, I saw they had other brewing companies there too, she said we don't have any of "our" beers on tap....I was seriously confused. Then why the name red oak brewing company and you don't have any of your so called beers on tap? I got a beer from the bartender, who was nice enough, but I declined to question their motives with regards to the name of the place and why none of their brews on tap? Hipsters can be the sensitive types, plus it was too busy for small talk at that time.Dogs allowed, must be on a lease at all times. Unfortunately, I won't be back...bummer...

Nothing to complain about really. Great selection of local beers on tap. The dudes there seem to really appreciate beer. Service is good. I doubt you can find anywhere else in the area with anything close to the same selection. I'm only taking off one star because I feel obliged to add a dash of "petty" into my yelp reviews in honor of all petty yelpers. One star deducted for too much Bob Marley and Sublime on the stereo. Pretty cliche, brah.

Love these guys! Love that this place is kid/family friendly. I can enjoy a beer and my kids can run around outside judgment free! They usually have a good selection of IPAs which is what I'm always looking for. Everyone is super friendly even the other beer drinkers. Great place for a Sunday afternoon.

Great beer. Relaxing atmosphere both inside and outside. Very dog friendly and chill. Love coming here

This place is great and is going to be so good for Knightdale. I went with friends on a Saturday night. There was plenty of seating and good artwork. The owners were very attentive and I never had to stand at the bar wondering how long it would be before I got a beer. It was also so nice to meet other young people living in Knightdale. This place is going to bring the younger community together! Not to mention during the run club meets! Looking forward to coming in for a beer every weekend!

My absolute favorite place to grab a drink. The owners are great. Attentive and knowledgeable. They always have a ton of local beers on tap and are happy to help you choose. The inside is beautiful with the bar made from beautiful natural wood and really eclectic artwork throughout, but the outside is the best part! The have picnic tables to eat and chat at or you can bring chairs or blankets to sit and relax in the open field where they have games and music.

We tried this place last wknd as a recommendation from a friend...we had a great time! The beer was great (New England IPA)! And sitting out doors was awesome...the food truck was good too! We can't wait to go back.

Love love love this place! Close to the park.. have a brew and let the kids play! They have food trucks too.. pizza was awesome!

I live in Knightdale and I think it's the perfect place to grab a couple beer if you decide to late in the evening. It's far from being a typical noisy and crowded bar. The outdoor seating and lighting makes for a perfect evening during summer and fall, and of course their beer collection is awesome! They however don't brew themselves, but do keep changing their collection. The owners are very friendly too.

Lauren & Rusty were phenomenal. I've been to bars around the world & this is one of the best ones in it. This is a must stop place that has excellent service and the best beer selection you'll probably ever see. Go here. Period.

Great service. They also have awesome activities and book amazing food trucks. There are different food trucks daily!
