The setting is eclectic and interesting, the food is ok... The place feels like a coffee shop more than a bar. We have been to Hob Nobs on several occasions when the music was provided by "The Refugees from the 60's" They have a nice selection of beers including my personal favorite Kiltlifter from the Four Peaks Brewing Co.
So why only 3 stars you ask? Good question, there is nothing really that is a problem, though I would rather there were a wait staff instead of all orders being placed at the register. There is both inside and outside seating. For you coffee drinkers even some living room style furniture to camp out in.
Quite simply we would not trek out here except that we really enjoy this band. By the end of the evening my bottom is sore as the band sets up right in front of the comfy seats. So the pluses are that the place is interesting, and you can get a coffee or a brew with a good sandwich. Sadly there is nothing so outstanding that if it weren't for 3'rd Friday music we just wouldn't be hanging out here.
