| - My boyfriend and I have been coming to the DBC since it opened... We seem to find ourselves here more often in the fall/winter/spring, because it is primarily indoor seating. I have such mixed reviews about the DBC at this time, but overall- I would say that the place is great!
What it is- A bar ish scene where you can enjoy beers from all over ( they no longer serve wine) and you can meet lots of locals and enjoy a quite night.
What it isn't- A bar that stays open past 11... The last two times, we have been pretty disappointed when the bartender has asked us to leave, or completely implied that it was getting late and he wanted to go home.
Listen- I understand the guy... he is in college, he wants to go out after and party... and quite frankly, it ISN'T his business, so why WOULD he want to stay late for just a small group of people.. A few weeks ago a group of friends and I ( 6 of us) went into the DBC around 9:45... I asked the bartender if he wanted to go home... he seemed confused, and I said " are you trying to go home ? it looks like you want us to leave?" he said no, that we could stay for a little while... but not "like 3 hrs". We weren't going to stay for 3 hs either way. Either way, it was disappointing as I was with a group that frequents the place quite often, and we are all Davidson locals.
I enjoy the owner John, and he is a really nice guy! I guess i feel I would run the business a bit differently, and being that it is a small local business, I think I would welcome paying customers with open arms... no matter if the clock has stricken 10 or not.
