This is one of my favorite Hickory Tavern locations. Its on my side of town, the food is always on point, and you can get good beer, fast. Is it pricier than my average neighborhood go-to? Yes. But! Don't fret, my pet - They have NC specials once a week, bringing your local favorites to $3.50 and I think there's a night or two where all drafts are cheaper. They have a TON of taps and a full bar, something for everyone and you can tell that the favorites stick around. I've been here a few times on oyster night - oysters on the half shell are .75 cents each and shrimp are .50 cents each - order any amount you like! They'll bring over all of the plates, little forks, crackers, hot sauce, etc.
One of the two patios has those roll up garage doors for the fall and spring - let's be honest, no one wants to roll those up in the summer. Darn NC blazing hot summers....
This is a huge place, you can usually find me in the bar area - I know, you're really surprised by this. They also have a more family friendly, sit down booth area. They buy the expensive sports package, so you can come here to watch football, or a UFC fight - they show just about every big sports event. Hickory is a chain, but a good option when you're not looking to go too far out of the Sports Bar box.
