| - I am really ambiguous about this place. The beer selection rocks; the food sucks rocks. The staff is knowledgeable, friendly (at times TOO much so!) and dressed like Lolita Complexes. Sooo not my thing!
I have spent a LOT of time here, but no longer go for personal reasons that are not germaine to this review. How much time, you ask? 8 plates worth! (I was the number 2 8th time around...but I had my plates removed when I ceased to patronize their establishment. See also personal reasons not germaine, yadda yadda yadda)
If you truly like beer, this is the place to go. The staff really knows their beer, so ask questions, sample and take direction!!! The pint specials are good, and the "beer poker" is worth it if you are adventurous and like a wide variety of styles of beer. As a suggestion, eat elsewhere first, or shortly after. I mean, how many chicken caesar rollups, wings and salads can you stomach?
The one plus to the menu? They often undercook the burgers, which means this little Yankee got rare beef on a regular basis...which I crave but rarely find in NC. They also overcook a lot of other choices... so...it's a mixed bag food-wise.
If the atmosphere wasn't so decidedly sex-sells-beer-to-men...I'd like it better. Sorta. maybe. But those personal issues still work there- I mean, exist.
Without the emotional baggage, this is worth checking out if you are serious about beer.
