Reviews for Hickory Nut Gorge Brewery at Mars Theatre in Mars Hill, NC
I love this place! I really enjoyed the Dry Irish Stout and the Brexit 1776 ESB, but every beer is good. The manager, Jacob, was... super personable and so kind and attentive to our party. This place would be great anywhere but is a real gem in Mars Hill. Fivestars! Read more
Very cool little theater and brewery which we just happened to stumble on. Old theater that shows classic and movies that tend... to have a bit of a cult following in the evenings. Nice selection of beers brewed on site as well as ginger drinks which mywife really enjoyed. Definitely a good find and great place to stop if in the area or put on your list for your next visit. .

Let?s just get right to the bottom line?..this place is fabulous! The food and the staff -- Jacob and Brian-- are fabulous, and... it is so wonderful to be able to see an interesting, free movie and feel comfortable, welcome, and cared for. Small town livingat its best! Great beer list (Scooby Juicy IPA was delicious), cold cider, and a menu that is going to expand its veganoptions. Plus kind people who are working hard to make it succeed. I had the vegetarian pasty and it was really lovely;stuffed full of fresh veggies inside a glistening, golden brown, super flaky pastry. Like a savory hand pie, only better thanyou think! 3 dipping sauces!! My dining companion had the Shepherd?s Pie pasty and was very pleased. The people sitting behindus had the wings, the fish and chips and the pulled pork nachos and said they loved them all. This place is playful andintimate and the best thing to happen to Downtown Mars Hill in a very long time. Read more
This unique brewery is the best thing to do in Mars Hill. The building is a funky conversion of an old 1930s movie theater. You... can still watch movies on the big screen while you eat and drink with your friends, whether sitting in the living-room-likebalcony or on the main floor where some of the original theater seats still stand beside the new brew tanks. There are a fewdog-friendly outdoor tables as well. The beers are mostly English style, with occasional variations like West Coast IPA on therotating taps. The food is basic pub fare (fish and chips, nachos, etc.) It's not really the food that brings you here, but thegood beers and the funky and charming environment. This is a small-town, family-owned place with friendly staff, and it'salmost never crowded except for Thursday Trivia Night. Any other time, you may have the entire place to yourself! Read more
Cute little theatre that is a brewery now. Yummy beer and the trial run of pastiche, meat or veg were delish so definitely keep... that coming! Good popcorn, fun ambiance.. Read more
