Stopped in for dinner on a weekday evening, it was nice and low-key, live music at 8pm, great spot with different areas to sit and have some of their excellent beers. We ordered food, the food was very tasty, very well done, and the beers were excellent! 2022 Sexual Chocolate on tap and we couldn't have been happier, that's one of our favorite beers. But, everything else we tried was just as good; their stout, porter, west coast IPA, session IPA, golden ale, everything was on point. The service was excellent and the servers were extremely nice. All in all, well worth the stop in if you are in the area.

Visited right as the place opened at 11 a.m. place had a cool vibe, but hard to really judge as I was the only patron there. Greeting staff was friendly and helpful. Bartender was knowledgeable and extremely helpful in assisting me in picking out beers to go. 15 or so taps of their brews. Food was better than I expected for a brew based pub

I visited Foothills on 6/07/19. The staff was very friendly, the beers were good, and the soft pretzel was awesome. A lot of people looked to be eating dinner. They had about 15 beers on tap, and numerous to-go options. Really enjoyed the visit.

From July. Went for lunch and a beer while in Winston. Wasn't too busy but the food took nearly 30 mins and bar staff was too concerned with regulars. Oh well, I occupied myself with bourbon barrel sexy chocolate.

I came early on a Thursday. It was slow, but the staff were very beer-knowledgable.
I wish they had a guest tap to add to the mix.

Went here for the BA Sexual Chocolate release. The release event was awesome, one of the best I've been to and well organized. Plenty of space inside the brewery/restaurant, friendly staff and good beer, no complaints here!

Drive up to the bba sexual chocolate release this weekend. Super well run. Let us as soon as possible. Drafts were quick in coming. Giant sausage and buscuits were inexpensive and desperately needed.

Went for the BA Sexual Chocolate release. Brewpub was busy. Lots of diners. Beer selection wasn't as big as I'd hoped, but they had the BASC on tap prior to the release which was nice.
Two rooms. Wood tables with a long bar. Has a back room past the kitchen where they held the bottle share. More like a warehouse than an actual room.
Service was ok. Beertender kinda passed over people a few times, but they were semi-busy.
Overall, not bad. Seen better, seen worse. About average.

Stopped in on our way from Raleigh to Asheville on a Sunday afternoon. The whole neighborhood was pretty quiet and there was plenty of space in the dining and bar area. Very friendly waitstaff. Nice variety of food to choose from. We brought our one year old daughter and felt very comfortable having her there. Had the IPA of the Month for July. It was excellent. I wish we could've stayed longer. Definitely recommend this to anyone in the area.

Foothills is a Winston Salem staple and they make some damn good beers. They usually have a pretty good selection of stuff on tap and you can fill growlers and get bottles to go. The service has been up and down everytime I've been there. If you are a regular or semi regular it's pretty good but sometimes you just kind of sit around without anyone to tend to you or fill up your water.
The food is ok. It's standard pub food with some unique offerings from the chef. I think the calamari and loaded fries are the best apps on their menu. The Cuban, fish and chips and caesar salad have all been ok. Overall a great place for beer especially on celebrations like Sexual Chocolate release!
