| - I had the opportunity to visit Davidson Street Public House on two separate occasions. My first foray was when my wife brought me to NODA for the first time to checkout the food, shops, and various beer-style joints. This was an afternoon visit and they weren't all that crowded.
Since we were mainly there to try the craft beer we headed to the bar area and plopped down center-stage. Their bar is a nice setup with TVs up above and a long bar area leading right into the kitchen on the right. Makes it easy for the bartender to move quickly between the bar, kitchen, and restaurant. Nicely laid out. In fact, most of the entire restaurant is nicely done.
We tried a few of their beers. The bartenders were knowledgeable about beer; Even suggested another place for similar beer preferences. While the selection wasn't bad, it's their food that really makes the impression. We had their Corn and JalapeƱo Fritters: Roasted Corn, Cream Cheese, Jalapeno, Relish. Yum. We also tried the Pork Belly BLT: Pork Belly, Benton's Bacon, Fried Green Tomato, Chef's Pimento Cheese, Mixed Greens, Brioche. Another resounding Yum.
Other items caught our attention, including the Portabella Caprese and the Grindhouse Burger. Patrons on either side of us ordered these and they looked not only amazing, but filling enough for 2 people.
Davidson Street is a nice little place. It isn't too small, but when the tables are full it is a bit cozy. They have great music playing and the bathrooms are kept clean. I look forward to trying it out again. It's located in the right place and has the right selection of food to keep me coming back for more.
