A great bar spot for simple bar food and good cold beer. The burger was ginormous! Fresh toppings. Crisp lettuce, juicy tomatoes, tangy red onions! The cheese fries were good. The chicken wings were crispy, juicy, and the sauce was really good. A great spot for sports too, tons of TVs, large area, and great staff.

Absolutely love this place. Great sports bar with great food and 2 9' simonis cloth pool tables and a loft with about 6 dart boards up there where they have leagues. Awesome place to hang out

I watched the USA 🇺🇸 v.s. Bosnia 🇧🇦 game and loved every minute. The 9' pool tables are level and have clean running felt.
Justin is a great bartender. The pretty bartender before him was great too. I just don't remember her name. It is in Duke territory, so GO HEELS! (Watch out for the lobbyist 😉) -
We have visited this location twice. The first time the bartender was incredibly attentive and was very welcoming. I enjoy the beer, pool tables and other stuff they have to offer here.
Last night we went to watch the hockey game. The service was awful. The bartender walked around the bar that had empty drinks and just did not care. She kept serving the two couples that were at the bar but that was about it. You have to really try to get attention in order to get a beer. Many people walked out. ( we chose not to because I wasn’t sure if there was an automatic gratuity if you walk out ). When I say the service was awful I legit mean awful. Even watching people trying to turn in the pool stuff and she still ignored them, with the pool stuff on the bar) .we won’t be back. I hope the others that experienced this last night leave a review too. -
Ryan is awesome. Friendly and on the job. 1st time here but definitely coming back
