Bryson City Brewing

(Bryson City, NC)

Scooter’s 1842nd bar, first visited in 2025.

It was a toss-up which brewery in Bryson City we were going to visit today, but this one won out due to having a much larger dog-friendly patio.

Much like our experience at Native Brews the day before, the food was terrific and the beer was good too. They also do not do flights, so I had a full pour of the Fireside Porter.

Native Brews Tap & Grill

(Cherokee, NC)

Scooter’s 1841st bar, first visited in 2025.

This Native-American (and I believe women as well) owned restaurant and brewery has two locations as of the day before our visit — this location in Cherokee and another in downtown Bryson City. The food was spectacularly good, and the beers was great too! Lots of outdoor activities to keep kids entertained as well.

They don’t do flights, so I had a pint of the Angry Beaver Porter.

River’s End

(Nantahala Outdoor Center, Bryson City, NC)

Scooter’s 1840th bar, first visited in 2025.

Cane here for dinner and drinks. Couldn’t sit at the bar due to it being a small counter + there being kids in our group. Sat at a table overlooking the river and watched kayakers go by and dogs playing in the water. I had pizza and a Bell’s Kalamazoo Stout.
