Char M.Char M: Always busy, get there early. 👍👍 for the Slingshot coffee porter and Trophy Wife Pale Ale. Pizza is tasty too.

Sharon H.Sharon Horinka: The beer is pretty solid, though if you're into pale ales, I wouldn't recommend their "Trophy Wife". It tastes like a Belgian. Weird, but just a heads up. Other than that, their food is PHENOMENAL.

Meshell H.Meshell Herrick: Solid beers. My personal favorites were the scotch ale and the IPA. See good things happening for them as they establish themselves.

Colby M.Colby Moorberg: The House of Clay rye IPA is one of the best beers in the triangle. The rest of the beers are usually pretty average. Friday is "Firkin Friday" after 6pm, which is worth checking out.
