Roost Beer Garden

Roost could easily be more: more music, more comradery, more space. It isn’t though, because it feels more like a patio occupied by friends than a village center. Nestled within the Fearington village center, it is an exercise in middle class leisure. Roost is an unpretentious, simple courtyard, made garden by the many chortling drinkers, dancing children, and locally grown pizza toppings. Friday music is fun, not exceptional, but relaxing. Roost is a good choice for a laid back Friday’s pour of beer and slice of Neapolitan pizza.
Pizzas then. They can be a bit pricey, ranking in value though with the Napoli pizza truck and Mercato in Carrboro. 12″ pizzas and a glass of wine will feed 2, but get a second for leftovers and an opportunity to try the special and the confit duck. The white pizza special was generously and evenly spread with crispy kale, roast garlic and mild cheese. The crust was thin and frankly more cheese than dough. It was wonderful. For a red sauced pie my fellow eater and I enjoyed an italian sausage and asparagus option with; sweet sauce and relatively little cheese, a truer classic italian dish. Local beer and house ice cream cookie sandwiches round out the meal as the sun sets. Wandering Fearington is enjoyable, animals to watch, a bookshop to peruse if you’re there earlier than Friday evening.
All in all Roost is an out of the way but welcome option away from the crowds of Chapel Hill.

Beer, wine, wood fired pizzas (nice variety of red and white pizzas) with outdoor entertainment. One pizza is big enough to share, especially if you plan to get gelato in The Goat for dessert (recommend toffee pretzel… mmm).
Music was from an acoustic guitarist who was very good. Even if you aren’t staying at the Fearrington Inn, you’ll feel like you’re on vacation when you’re on the property. Stop at the bookstore and other little shops and don’t forget to check out the cows and goats!

Outdoor beer garden with A few good beers on tap. Some wine for non beer drinkers. Pizza made in a wood burning oven. Live music most nights. What more can you ask for?

Just moved to Fearrington Village yesterday and we stopped by the Roost on a beautiful NC day with our dog Maggie. Eclectic group of people, plenty of shaded seating, small but great selection of Pizza, draft beer and wine. On the steps of the Roost was live entertainment. Nice place to spend a couple of relaxing hours listening to music… or gathering and catching up with friends.
