True Pub Style In NC

We stopped in here for a beer and some appetizers. All were good. The atmosphere is nice and makes you feel like you are in a real British/Irish Pub. We will go back.

Average Food At Best

Restaurant is very cozy and there was no wait for a table by the window. However, the food was not great. My husbands burger was very over cooked and my sandwich was a soggy mess. Not what I was expecting for the price.

North Carolina only allows service dogs in restaurants, but we do have a small out door area that you can sit with your dog if you would like to get your meal to go. Thank you so much, Kay
