Shared the hot ones with the owner would recommend anyone come down for a tasty beverage. Someone is also ready for Deadpool3

We popped into this place to check it out for the first time this past Saturday. We were in the area for an open house at a nearby business and wanted to grab a drink before going home. We found Crafty Beer Shop and noticed a large number of people outside enjoying a drink. We went inside and found a seat at the bar. The menu for the beer on draft is displayed on a TV which was very helpful. You have the option of enjoying a beverage inside or outside. If you do wish to hang out outside, they have plastic cups to enjoy the beer. Along with the draft beer, they also sell a variety of beverages. We ended up purchasing a few that my husband hadn't seen before. Overall, the vibe and experience were 5 stars. The guy behind the bar was very friendly and prompt with service. We are looking forward to coming back soon!

I've been coming here for a couple years now and I really enjoy it. I mostly come here on weekdays in the evening time. Usually, it's a just a few people here and that is one of the many things I enjoy about it. Additionally, I'm not a huge beer drinker and very selective about my likes - this bar doesn't mind letting you sample different options until you find the perfect fit. Excellent selection of beers and friendly staff.

Jaysen is amazing, he really puts on a show. He has an incredible voice! He can sing any song you can name! Opera, rock, showtunes, absolutely anything. He's a little shy until you bug him about it, once he gets started he won't stop.

Great local place for good beers and good times. Nicely curated selection of drafts and bottle/can beers, in all styles, for indoor, outdoor and takeout. Great outdoor seating on the Lafayette Village quad. Sports on the TV's for adults and cool games for kids and parents. BTW. I've met some real cool canines here as well, which is to say, they are real dog friendly

Jason, is amazing. Crafty is an absolute must stop, must visit, must park yourself for as long as possible. Join him for trivia night. Join him for any night. I guarantee you will have a great time.

I went here on father's day with my dad to buy him some beer as a gift. The employee at the bar was very nice and helpful, answering some questions my dad had and pointing him to the sections with his preferred types of beer. The atmosphere of the place was very chill and it was dimly lit, but not too dark.

5-Star Review: A True Gem in Raleigh’s Craft Beer Scene If you're a craft beer lover in Raleigh and haven’t been to this shop yet, you're seriously missing out. The selection is top-tier—everything from local North Carolina breweries to rare finds you won’t see anywhere else. Whether you're into hazy IPAs, crisp lagers, or rich stouts, there’s always something new and exciting to try. But what really sets this place apart is the people—especially Jason. He’s not just knowledgeable; he’s genuinely passionate about beer and goes out of his way to make every customer feel welcome. Jason has recommended several beers that have become instant favorites for me. His ability to read your taste and suggest something spot-on is uncanny. Plus, he’s just a great guy to chat with while browsing or hanging out. This place isn’t just a store—it’s a community hub for beer lovers, and Jason is a big part of why that vibe works so well. Highly recommend checking it out.
