Thirsty Souls Community Brewing — Restaurant in Mount Airy

Already had this place on my list to try out while vacationing this past weekend. My niece asked earlier if I had been, bc she's enjoyed her visits at this establishment when she's been in the area.

After going for a hike a little ways out, we returned to our Mt. Airy air bnb with just enough time to run by & order to-go pizza and taste their brews. I feel like I was treated like family from the moment I arrived! The beers were solid. Service was impeccable - and after I got back 'home' & read some reviews, some others didn't feel that...but owners & staff surely have made it a point that won't be an issue needing addressed anymore. I DID also meet the owners - super kind folks, who certainly care for their community & anyone who passes through their doors!

I'll definitely be back, ANYTIME I'm in this area! Highly recommend, don't think you'll be disappointed! Thank you Heather & Kirsten - you made me feel at home while away from home! Much thanks!!

Jan & Maria - dakujem!! Though I only briefly met you...I could see the pure joy on your faces that I came to your business! Your food, staff, & just whole vibe in the space is wonderful!! Well done! I will most certainly be back & recommend anyone I know visiting the remote area to stop by!

Our first visit in February was amazing. The only reason why I am leaving two stars this time is because of sneaky employees robbing customers out of money. I was just there yesterday and got two beers at $12.84. Cool no big deal. I got ready to close my tab and the gentleman told me my total, which was $12.84 . He did not even give me the option to leave a tip at my disclosure. When I looked at my total again it was $15.41. He automatically added 20% gratuity to my card and handed me the tablet to sign my name as if I would not see it. The only reason why I did not say anything was due to the fact that I am always tipper. But with more thought throughout the day I realized how wrong this was. I did not get extraordinary service, nothing over the top. What if I wanted to leave more? What if I wanted to leave $5? The point is the employee snuck one past me but he did not realize that I was paying attention. I will return, but when and if this happens again, I will say something to the owner. This practice is unacceptable. He cheated his self out of more money. I usually over tip. The principal here is to allow the customers the discretion . I was not apart of a large group nor did I leave the tab open...

The ladies at the bar lacked personality and need to learn how to smile some. I found it very difficult to understand what either of them were saying. I'm not sure if the communication breakdown was due to broken English or just mumbling, it was really hard to tell.

The beer wasn't bad but was borderline of being warm, it was also overpriced in my opinion.

I also didn't care for the anti Trump drink names that they had listed. President Trump is popular in this area so that's a bad judgment call on their part in my opinion.

I did like the atmosphere inside, it was very roomy. I also liked that they had a band playing outside with a seating area.

I didn't like that the seating area was so small outside. The band stopped playing at 9pm...really? The band was not really my kind of music either.

Probably will not go back and will just go to the White Elephant across the street next time. It's a shame too because this place could have potential if it was managed correctly and they left their political...
