Cool spot. Dropped by here to get the UNC college bar experience while watching the basketball game. Flat fee for drafts, plenty of craft. Enter around the back and upstairs. Really great hospitality.

Solid 3 stars. It's pretty dirty. The walls are covered in the ages of accumulated dirt of generations of UNC students... maybe that's why it got such high marks from others. Personally it's just an indoor /outdoor UNC student hang out with alcohol on tap. The choices on taps for ciders aren't too wide. Usually you get one maybe two options. Service is nice enough. Their bathrooms are pretty gross too. We went on a Tuesday night. Only plus is the giant $6 cups which is why I'm sure the students flood in. If I go back I'll get photos.

The Outdoor Space is a Chapel Hill Community Treasure. 5 stars.Indoors I can touch the ceilings. Thats 2 stars.This is an Undergraduate Staple along with Pantana Bobs when I was around 25 Years ago. A must visit bar while you are in Chapel Hill to meet undergrads.The smallest draft beer is 32oz.... the signature cup of a black out night to come.Overall it gets 4 stars, this was a hard decision. The bar is a 3. Just know biger better bars and resturants lie ahead in your future!The outdoor area under the Magnolia Trees is special. As I noticed all the needed new multi family investment next door built 50' high. I bumped my rating to a 4 star because of the location and Trees and the value of the land.This is a "if its not broke dont fix" I get it. However I would add landscaping and more lots outdoor lighting. Outdoor area needs $10,000 investmest.

This place is…interesting. Had a few different experiences but my favorite one involves moving a table and completely throwing off the vibe of the spot so much that LITERALLY everyone who walked by made a comment. Also cigs. Anyways, big beers and fun people.
Famous place I'm told. A college style hang out bar with the "blue cup." Kinda dirty though.

Last weekend a friend of mine went there and was forced to leave because “he was to drunk”. But instead of letting him sit there and wait for his Uber, the staff grabbed my friend and proceeded to him up and force his off the premises. Not only were they extremely rude, but left bruises on my friend. Not to mention my friend was the only gay guy in the establishment that night. I would never recommend this place to anyone, but would advise management to rethink what kind of standards they hold their employees to because putting your hands on someone that is not fighting back is unacceptable.
