Beer Run, located between the Woolen Mills and Belmont neighborhoods, is not only a restaurant and bar, but, as the name suggests, a craft beer and wine shop. Made with seasonal, local, and organic ingredients, their inventive Sunday brunch menu (available from 11:00 am to 3:00 pm) includes French toast strata, Salvadoran bean and cheese papusas, fish tacos, and many other options. You can also order a hearty helping of a Bloody Mary, served in a tall glass with your choice of celery sticks, green beans, or bacon (yes, you can add a strip of bacon).

While Beer Run is understandably known as one of the best places to buy creative craft beers in the region, they also serve deceptively great biscuits, bowls, and weekend brunch!. On Saturdays, they offer a wide variety of American takes on breakfast tacos all made with local eggs, with an average of 10 varieties on the menu. There’s a “cowboy” taco with local eggs, local sausage, and organic black beans, for example, and also an “El Capitan” made with local chorizo, among others.

But locals prize the Carlton Road spot’s relaxed vibe, and outdoor picnic tables mean the wee ones have a little room to roam while you’re waiting for the food. Plus, the nachos are some of the best in town and the breakfast tacos are fun for all ages.

So we’ve covered cider and wine, but if neither of those tickles your fancy, perhaps you are more of a beer connoisseur. If that’s the case, then head on over to Beer Run. Part restaurant, part specialty beer dealer, Beer Run has hundreds of beers from small and creative breweries.

Another great tented option, Beer Run actually has two different heated patio tents and a dog loving staff. Located close to town in the Woolen Mills area, they also boast a fantastic beer collection (and a store onsite) as well as quality wings and nachos.
