About Golden cactus
Our historic, open-air warehouse was originally a soda bottling factory for Royal Crown Cola in the 1950’s.
Used primarily for industrial storage throughout the latter half of the 20th century, the building was bought by three Virginia Tech college graduates who saw the potential for a great addition to downtown Roanoke’s craft-beer scene.
Located on the corner of 5th Street and Salem Avenue, Golden Cactus Brewing opened for business in August 2020.
Despite the conditions, our dedicated staff and growing community of regulars supported the brewery’s growth and establishment as one of Roanoke’s favorite destinations for beer, pinball, plants, and good vibes.
Free parking is available in a gravel lot on Campbell Ave, just past Aesy’s and Sweets by Shaneice.
Please park in spots designated by Blade Gaming and Golden Cactus Brewing signs to avoid fines and towing. Golden Cactus Brewing is just a short walk one block away.
Dogs are welcome!
However, for the safety of our staff, patrons, and fellow fur babies, all dogs must remain leashed for the entirety of their visit. Excessive barking or any aggressive behavior will not be tolerated.
Hungry?
The fine folks next door at Food Hut are fixin’ to feed ya.
