This place used to be Vecino’s, and let me tell you, it is so much better now as Haw River Tap and Table! The staff is so nice, and the food is amazing. I have a high standard for food, and this place exceeded my expectations.
In January, I had the bbq sandwich and it was ah-mazing I wish I’d come back before they changed the menu! Next time I tried the fried chicken sandwich (with homemade pickles - perfect) with sweet potato waffle fries….and I’m not exaggerating when I say this is one of the BEST sandwiches I have EVER had. Truly mind blowing. The chicken was super crispy yet still very juicy, the homemade pickles were incredible, the bun was great/wasn’t dry at all which often happens, and the sauce they used just tied everything together. It was absolutely delicious.
This place is doing the most!! I highly recommend.

The Nashville Hot Tofu sandwich was AMAZING! Really appreciated such a well executed vegetarian option. It’s a little messy so be sure to eat it over the tray. The tots and potato wedges were both crispy and well seasoned. I didn’t drink but my husband had a beer he was really happy with. We will definitely be back!

I visited this place for a work happy hour. The food and atmosphere were great. I was disappointed, however, that there was not a non-alcoholic beer option. The bartender said it was because they only brew a few beers, but there are plenty of excellent NA beers available in cans. As a somewhat private non-drinker at a beer-focused social event I would have preferred to have a “beer” in my hand while maintaining my abstinence. I hope this place adopts a friendlier policy towards nonalcoholic beer. Other nearby breweries also don’t brew NA beers available but they carry Athletic in cans. I might suggest our group choose one of them over Haw in the future.

The best place about here is not their beer. But it's their food. It's next level.

Haw River is our go to! The beer selection is always awesome, the frozen drinks are the best in town (they always have two available). The menu has a great selection (the hummus is beyond creamy and the pita is fried to perfection). Best of all is the staff! From the owners who are so kind to the bartenders everyone is always the sweetest, nicest and most helpful. Great for getting groups of people together as well. Most go spot in Carrboro ❤️

I think the food is okay, but the sandwiches are a bit expensive for not including a side. I tried the chicken sandwich and burger— I would prob wouldn’t order them again. The potato wedges are good. The beer selection is pretty wide and good. One nice feature is that some of the barstools have backs.
My biggest complaint is just how long it takes to get food here. Waiting 40 minutes for one sandwich at 5:30 in the afternoon is a little beyond what I think is a reasonable making of time.

My dad and I visited when he was in town and we both enjoyed our food and beer. I got the farmhouse burger and my dad got the chicken sandwich and both were great. We also had a few beers which were also delicious. They've got a great selection, we even got to sample their cask special, which was amazing!
Hands down one of the best fried chicken sandwiches I’ve ever had. The fry on the breading was crazy crispy, the chicken was juicy and cooked perfectly and the bun and toppings paired perfectly with the fried chicken. I really cannot emphasize this enough - go now and get this sandwich.
I paired the sandwich with the loaded tots - they were an easy 9/10. Beer cheese, blue cheese crumbles, bacon jam and scallions… just fantastic. I washed everything down with a funky beer, farmstand pickle sour blonde and it was fantastic as well - such a good compliment to the meal.
The service is top notch and the atmosphere is relaxed and modern with an excellent outdoor seating area. Oh and the music was super chill, always a major plus!
Parking: Pay attention to the signs in the parking lot out front - not reading the signs carefully can end in a major headache.

Not kid friendly. We have been there 3 times with our kids each time hoping that this could be a new hang out spot for our friends with kids. Each time got increasingly worse service and more side-eye looks from the staff. As a parent you are looking for a place where you can enjoy and relax and your kids can have fun (within reason and with respect to other customers). This place seemed like it had promise. It has tables outside and games but as they state themselves they are not trying to be kid friendly. Their kids menu is limited and the food is not that good. My son wanted a hamburger which is not on the kids menu and therefore paid 12 dollars for. We won't be going back and will be letting our friends know that this not the chill place it likes to give the 'vibe' of.

This is a great indoor-outdoor pub with plenty of room. The three of us ordered the crispy chicken sandwich which was fantastic! They’re not kidding when they say crispy! We also enjoyed some unique seltzer water combos… mine was vanilla and lavender, the other was black Cherry and basil.
