We stopped by at noon on a Saturday and sat at the bar. I thought the water in a bottle was a neat idea-you’ve already got refills. Great beer selection even some non alcoholic versions. My partner chose the fried dill pickle spears as an appetizer and they were delish! For our entree, we both ordered the classic fish and chips. I personally thought there was too much breading on the cod. Slaw and tartar sauce were on point and the fries were good. Next visit I want to try the baja-style fish tacos!

Met some new and old friends here for lunch recently and was not disappointed. The whiskey selection was good, and my friends said the beer selection was even better.

We had some great drinks and food. Would recommend the wings and the burgers for sure. 10/10.

The beer selection is really good. The food is very fresh. Think farm to table. Most of what ive had are original recipes. Their burgers are top tier. The bartenders/servers are always accommodating and make you feel welcomed.

Great spot! Was in the area for a day and wanted a drink, found this place on Maps. Glad I did. Had the fried egg burger. Really good hamburger. Also a good selection of beers and liquors, lots of whiskeys, bourbons, and scotch. They give you a cold bottle of water to refill your glass with which was a nice touch. Just a way to be different. I liked it. Inside dining was a bit small but they have a covered patio that I saw and maybe more. The bartender was friendly and attentive. Well done all around. If I’m ever back in the area I would go again. Recommend you try it out.

The place was so cute. I love the bar selection. The staff was very friendly. I love the porch area that is screened in so it allows you to have some fresh air and mingle with friends and family, but also have a little bit of a street view. Amazing food unfortunately I didn’t get pictures of it, but it was great. I only gave it a four because there was quite a wait for the food, but again a great place to come by and do a little bit of shopping in the area afterwards.

Wings were incredibly soggy. Coated in batter /breading to add crunch but gave very little meat. Then found full feather on our wing still and waitress response was that happens. I haven’t ever had that happen in some hundreds of times I’ve ever had wings. Place may be good for other items but the wings were the worst I have had in a long time.

Walking up around 12:30, I was a little worried the inside seating was going to be packed, because the outdoor patio area had a decent crowd (maybe about 50% full). Today the the weather was nice, but I am not an eat-out-side/screened-patio guy.
Thankfully, the bar only had two other people at it when I walked in, and about half the tables in that room were empty. So far, so good.
Ambience: the music was a lot of classics from the 60s and 70s, which was nice. Agreeable stuff that works as background music that most people can appreciate, or at least not be off-put. Volume of the music was also ideal. Loud enough that it could be heard when you weren’t talking, but people engaged in conversations didn’t have to compete with the music.

Briton (I hope I spelled that right) and Jesse were manning the bar / running the floor. Both very pleasant people.

I started with the Red Hook, a modified Manhattan. I asked Briton about it. He was up front that it and their Beachcomber cocktails were both batch-ready. This tells me it’s a popular enough drink that management said “let’s just make it in a giant batch, so the bartender(s) aren’t burning up a lot of time cranking out 100 of the same drink every night.” So I started with that, and it was very good! If you enjoy Manhattans that are a little on the sweet side, it’s worth it.
I’m an onion ring guy, so I ordered those, and their beer battered broccoli (the fried veggie of the day changes from day to day).

Onion rings – excellent. I don’t think these are commercial bought. The batter didn’t have the usual panko that’s typically found in most commercial frozen onion rings. The kitchen did a spot on job with frying these. The oil was at the right temp. They were not greasy at all, and the crust was crunchy and well seasoned. Even after they cooled off to just-above-room-temp, they were still great. I will definitely get this again.

Beer battered broccoli. This is a chance for self-awareness growth for everyone. I saw this and my brain immediately conjured up visions of tempura-like battered broccoli. I did not ask. I assumed. It was not what my unconfirmed imagination drummed up. I do NOT hold the restaurant accountable for this disconnect. I could have asked. They still tasted great while hot/warm. Once they cooled completely, they did have a bit of a greasy mouthfeel, unlike the onion rings. Will I get them again? If I am by myself, I might get a half-order, so I can finish them before they completely cool.

For my meal I ordered 12 boneless wings in their “Frickin’ Nickel Hot” sauce, with an extra cup of sauce on the side (and a third cup later). I LOVE spicy food. So I will try to give an objective comparison here for those who are curious. The closest heat level objective comparison I can give it is the Habanero Tabasco sauce. For me, this is a solid middle-tier level of heat. Flavor was great. They did put a warning on the menu which made me grin, and I get it. Some people are very sensitive to spicy food. They want to reduce possible food waste or other complications.

The chicken was delicious. Perfectly cooked. Tender, juice. Excellent. This was a great departure from the larger “wing” chains where the chicken is ridiculously overocoked either out of fear of undercooking it, or a kitchen so busy that they cant pull a basket from the fryer in time. This made me spring for buying the kitchen a few after work six packs (seriously, it’s on their menu).

Side note, the onions rings go great with the Frickin’ Nickel hot sauce. My third cup was devoted to using it as a dipping sauce for the onion rings.

My second drink was the Beachcomber. Interesting drink. Very lemon forward, and I think Briton said it was their other pre-batched drink. The rum was rolled over by the lemon and the lingering cherry flavors from the Luxardo. It’s a good palate cleanser. If you like lemon forward drinks, it’s a good pick.

They also had a nice selection of allocated bourbons. I’ll be back.

I didn’t know about the existence of this bar-restaurant. I just went to downtown Mebane to get to know the little, but pretty town. The street has different bars, but this one got my attention. Once you get in, you can admire the big bar full of bottles, and the walls covered with nice pictures. The selection of local and craft beers is really good. The food we tried was delicious. I will definitely come back!

Nice lunch, the special, chili, was delicious. The beer selections were amazing, and seasonal. The BBQ burger was good, though the bun was a bit meh. Great atmosphere, feels like a pub.
