We were looking for a new bar to try in Carrboro and saw B-Tribe on Yelp, and we're glad we did. The entrance is very unassuming, almost hidden behind an Italian restaurant on the south end of Car Mill Mall. The place is quite small, with about five tables, and maybe 12 seats at the bar. We sat at the bar as we only wanted drinks and snack. Christian, the bartender, greeted us right away and brought food and drink menus. He explained the specials and took our drink orders. My companion found an interesting Greek white wine, and I asked for a boulevardier, my go-to cocktail for a new place. The wine was to her liking, and the cocktail was about the best example I've had in recent memory. Christian used Woodford Reserve bourbon and Campari rather than Aperol so it had a slightly less bitter taste and was a lovely auburn color. The food menu was very interesting, with lots of items we've never tried. We ordered caesar salad with anchovies, green beans in garlic-soup sauce, panella (a chick-pea and cream cheese dish), and seasoned French fries. It was all yummy and delivered together. The service we got really couldn't have been much better: attentive without hovering. The food and drink quality was outstanding, and we thought the prices were very reasonable for what we got. In short, thanks Christian, and we'll be back.

Really weird hours, always changing. Bartender was rude and he seemed bothered to make a cocktail. Asked to speak to the manager- in my opinion she had been drinking; was slurring her words and wreaked of cigarettes- food was tasteless and flat.

B-side Lounge has such a cozy atmosphere! They have the same menu as Venable and the service was great! We ordered the Udon Noodles and the Venable Burger. Both were delicious!

Came here for cocktails after dinner. Bartender was friendly, professional, and made good drinks. Chit chatted about some of the beers on tap and ended up getting the The old fashioned which was delicious. Did not have an opportunity to try food as the kitchen was closed when we arrived. Five stars...Nothing more you can ask for from a bar.

Outstanding Service. Recommend Huevas Rancheros. Definitely a must when visiting the Chapel Hill area.

My sister and I dropped in on Friday night for some shared small plates dining. We each ordered a cocktail, and the beet and goat cheese salad, We also shared the flatbread, empanadas, and Scotched olives. First of all, service was pleasant and very good. I'm picky about my cocktails and would have preferred a touch more acidity. They were at least good for most tastes. The goat cheese salad, flat bread, and empanadas were all at least excellent. These dishes were balanced, complex, as described and as a group would have warranted a fifth star. All of the plates were beautifully done. Overall an excellent experience. We will be back.

Excellent Asian-American fusion menu. We particularly like the Bibimbap and the udon noodles. And you can end the meal with a root beer float!
Their Whiskey Business cocktail was good! Also good service! Good little dive bar with good drinks

We met with another couple for lunch here, after enjoying another restaurant in Carr Mill last month. I wasn’t sure just what kind of food we’d find, but it was wonderful! This was my first time having a burrito and it was fabulous! I had chicken, my husband had shrimp, friend had steak - all burritos, and her husband had a burger. The portion and ingredients of burrito were great and a side salad accompanied it. Very casual atmosphere, very nice staff and definitely a place to enjoy a meal!

Great spot to have appetizers and great drinks. Don't forget to save room for something sweet as well. Great atmosphere as well.

Y'all are missing out on the best kept secret in Carrboro. The food is amazing small plates of very fresh, vegetarian-friendly,?ethnically diverse specialties. I think it's cooked across the wall at Venable. But the food is not expensive, the place is quiet and romantic (if you're looking for romantic) and the drinks are varied and amazing. Enjoy!

Venable restaurant has horrible food. The service is terrible. The waiters are rude. We were there only for an hour and they asked us to leave because they had another reservation. Don’t go there.
