This place is an absolute 10/10 candy store on steroids for anyone who's into mountain biking and/or the outdoors. Staff was super friendly and they were all locals who are obviously part of the outdoor lifestyle community. May have to consider renting a bike from here if I'm looking to purchase something down the road - they're fleet of rentals and bikes for sale is huge! Awesome vibe inside the store and they have any and all gear you could possibly need. A must stop every time we swing through Brevard.

Went by here on way to Asheville day before hell arrived there, and started out to ride not 30 feet away from start Derailleur breaks, the chain, and the shop was wonderful and did a great job fixing everything, we also rented a bike for my wife to try and they were great about helping her try different sizes that would work for her. The bartender was super nice and tried some great beers. This shop, saved us from having a crappy day into a good one overall. I will be a customer always!! Highly recommend, wish all shops were like this!!!

Awesome place when your bike needs emergency repairs. This is the 2nd time in a year that I've relied on The Hub for a mid-day repair. Both times the staff was super helpful and friendly. They have lots of parts in stock and do what they can to accommodate as quickly as possible. I had a nasty situation yesterday that required a new spoke, new wheel tape, new derailer, new chain and some skills to put everything back together correctly. The Hub had me in and out in about 90 mins for a very fair price. While I waited I got to enjoy some craft beer on tap and relax at their bar. Highly recommend the Hub.

This place is so cool! We stopped here on a hike that took us right by the place. We had a wonderful beer, great hangs in their warm outdoor area with fire pits and some delicious food thanks to their food truck parked out front.

After a long day of hiking, there is nothing better than the sound of relaxation, some food, and cold beverages. If you spent the day hiking in the Pisgah National Forest and need a place to eat, relax, and enjoy a beverage while headed back towards Asheville (near Brevard), then The Hub is the place to stop at! The Hub has a large patio with plenty of tables and chairs for you to sit at. There is a bar inside serving beer on tap along with food trucks serving tasty meals. We both ordered mouthwatering smash burgers with sides of hot french fries. There is some biking and hiking gear available for purchase as well. The Hub is a nature enthusiasts destination for gear, brews, food and fun. Stop by the Hub today!
