| - Great idea, good menu, service is inconsistent, prices are slightly high for beer, average for food.
So there are different aspects of this place. First off, the menu. Their menu is very vegetarian friendly. Hummus, spin-art dip, soft pretzels, tater tots, pizza, cheese plates, 2 veggie sammies, some salads and a Spicy Beer Cheese Soup that I wish I had tried. So I definitely give credit to a place that tries to be veg-friendly.
I ordered the Hippie Burger (veggie patty). It was OK. But the thing was that it came with a side, and I asked the server if the potato salad had bacon in it. She said no. But the first bite had bacon in it. So, I'll just say that I was very dissatisfied with that.
Whatever, I kept trucking. And anyways, the real reason to go to this place is the beer. I'm sure other reviewers have gone into great detail about their gigantic beer selection, so I'll keep it short. While the idea is great, it falls a little short. While the size of the menu is supposed to be its selling point, its just too big!!! And it has a lot of filler. I noticed one reviewer who said that this is the biggest beer selection in NC. Well, maybe, but biggest is not necessarily best (innuendo unavoidable :) It's hard to take a lot of pride in a beer bar that has a bunch of macros and second rate micros, but (if my eyes don't deceive me) not a single saison? And barely any lambics to speak of. Whatever, they still have some pretty good stuff, I'm just being picky, but it seems like with a little quality control their selection could go from good to great.
This one was a little tough to rate. Part of me wants to give it a 2 (bacon), part a 3 (atmosphere), part a 4 (beer and food menu), and part a 5 (the idea). So take that 3 I gave it according to what you want out of this place.
Oh yeah, this place can be REALLY loud inside. Like uncomfortably loud, so might want to grab seat outside if that bothers you.
