The Patriot is pretty unassuming from first look, but the inside is big and it has a game room. Their outside has a bar and a huge patio- a really nice space to hang out alone or in a group of any size.
The waitresses were sweet and attentive, but I hope they have more staff during a busy weekend! They have a good selection of draft and bottle/can beers (including local NC and SC brews). Their menu offers an average amount of variety, we tried a couple appetizers, wings, a sandwich, a burger, and a wrap. The wings came out really burnt but the waitress replaced them promptly. Everything else was pretty good- definitely bar food.
I noticed on their sign that they offer Trivia on Wednesday and Music Trivia on Thursday... I think if I were to return it would be to hang out, drink beer on the patio on a warm night, and test my random knowledge!
