This used to be a special place, but it has gotten a little stale. The food is good, but the menu hasn't been updated in quite a while. The selection of spirits is excellent, but it hasn't kept pace as a restaurant.

A wonderful place for lunch in downtown Hickory, but be forewarned, it can get very busy. If you are a party of two, there is usually room at the high tables in the bar. For a large party (6+) you may have a wait. Food is good and plentiful; try the day's special.

Craft beer selection is really interesting. Service was excellent. Although it is primarily pub food, the burgers were some of the best we have ever had and the prices were very reasonable. Comfortable seating, dark wood décor and attractive bar area. Looks like a locals favorite.

LOTS of beers. They had 20 on tap when I was there, including a wide variety of IPAs, stouts, ales, lagers, weiss beers...you name it.

The beer is crazy good if you are into micro-brews. The food was fine with great service; helpful waiters. The restaurant was very busy on a weeknight, which is a good sign. Casual, relaxed atmosphere...people were dressed in everything from sportwear to business casual. Restaurant is located in the downtown Union Square area with local boutiques...very quaint area.

As soon as we walked in the door there was a feeling of dismay. It was very unwelcoming and depressing. The two bar tenders seemed to be mad at each other. It took forever for either of them to wait on us, and even longer to get a check. The server held the glass by the lip and filled it... More
