Railhouse Brewery
Veteran-owned craft brewery in Aberdeen. One of the originals in Moore County, with 16 taps, live music, and a dog-friendly outdoor space.
Railhouse has been brewing in Aberdeen since 2010, making it one of the original craft breweries in Moore County. Founded by Navy and Army veterans, it’s now owned and operated by a crew spanning the Army, Navy, and Air Force.
The flagship is an English Brown Ale co-branded with KA-BAR — the iconic military knife company — and it’s the only beer of its kind in the country. Sixteen taps rotate through everything from smooth easy-drinking classics to bolder styles. The pub food is solid: cheese curds and the soft pretzel are the move.
The outdoor space is family and dog-friendly. Live music is regular. Music bingo nights have become a local institution. Five minutes from Pinehurst — it deserves more than a quick stop.
