I used to hang out here with friends quite a bit. Its a cool little place right in the middle of the neighborhood with houses all around it.

The atmosphere is nice, but a bit cramped if you want to sit down for dinner. The bar is small, but they have a decent selection of brews on tap and bottle.

The food is really good. I always get the crawfish burrito. Good stuff.

Service isn't bad

I will gladly return with some buddies.

Small old fashion pub in Charlotte, right by downtown and yet embedded in a residential neighborhood pocket. Dark lighting, old wooded pub decor, in line with the building that houses the tavern, and with a rather comfy vibe.

Good small selection of craft brews on tap, and handful of fair bottles. A few good local selections, which they seem to make an effort to represent. The highlight for me was the NoDa rye dipa, which I found quite memorable.

The food was perfunctorily forgettable pub fare the two days I tried it. Eatable but fairly bland shepherd's pie, and burger.

Service was very nice and attentive across the board, with a casual attention to detail that felt warm and welcoming.

All in all a good cozy neighborhood hide out. I'd probably revisit it in a similar work trip to Charlotte.
