Went on The distillery tour with some motorcycle rider friends of mine.the tour was very well organized there was a short film that we watched about The distillery and it answered a lot of questions before the tour began. The person giving the tour was the owner. The tasting afterwards lets you taste all of the available spirits they make there. There's a full service bar there as well and gift shop. We really enjoyed our time there, the bartender was very friendly and knowledgeable. The day we went there they also had a hot dog and sausage Bender outside for food which was fantastic as well I wish I knew the name of that business. But a great time was had by all of us. And I would definitely recommend this and will be coming back.

Deep River has many wonderful brews! The Watermelon Lager is a favorite. From time to time they host food trucks and bands. Had a blast July 4th and could see the fireworks in downtown.
4. Ready-Set-Escape
Overall Ratings
5.0 based on 11 reviews
Escape rooms are fun, physical adventures in which a group of players is locked into a room and must use clues and solve puzzles to unlock the next step of the game. Solving these puzzles will eventually lead to a clue that will provide a key or combination allowing the door to be unlocked and the group to escape. The tricky part is there's a time limit and the players only have 60 minutes! Ready Set Escape has three exciting rooms with different themes - Monopoly Mania, Pirate’s Plunder and Hollywood Heist. We offer rooms from beginner to expert level players.

My husband and I love doing escape rooms, and after trying the Hollywood Heist at Ready Set Escape, we couldn't wait to do another room there. Tonight, we played their Monopoly Mania game and had a blast! The puzzles helped tell the story of the room and were a lot of fun to figure out! There are lots of puzzles in that room, though, may want to bring an extra person or two, but it was definitely doable and lots of fun! The owners are super friendly and a delight to talk to, and they obviously love what they do! Get your team ready and head to Ready Set Escape!
5. Ava Gardner Museum
Overall Ratings
4.5 based on 172 reviews
The Ava Gardner Museum, one of North Carolina’s most remarkable attractions, honors the life, loves, and legacy of Ava Gardner, who was born and raised in Johnston County. She became one of Hollywood’s most glamorous leading ladies and visitors to the museum enjoy an introductory film on her life, 16 permanent exhibits from her humble beginnings, her discovery story, a variety of movie posters, movie memorabilia, personal clothing and movie costumes and much more. New exhibits are rotated in the museum on an annual basis to continue to share Ava's incredible story and share with the world "the real Ava", who was down to earth, loving, direct and very approachable for one of Hollywood's most famous stars from the Golden Era. Visit the museum in Historic Downtown Smithfield any time, or make special plans to attend the Ava Gardner Festival held in May each year.

I took my husband’s family visiting from the UK here before some outlet shopping. While the teen boys in the group opted out, they regretted it later as we talked about Ava’s adventurous life, movies, Howard Huges & Frank Sinatra - as well as the very unique paintings of Ava. We appreciated Miss Sarah’s passion for Ava & thought the musuem was well done - jewelry, clothing, movie artifacts, and personal items. We were also fortunate to have a Board member, Melissa, share stories & give us insights. I would like to see more of the items in storage!
