I'd have to say this is one of my favorite bars in the country. Their liquor selection is extensive and the bartenders take great care in their craft. We have hosted multiple events here and Gary Crunkleton has gone above and beyond to provide the best hospitality to our guests every time. As someone not native to the area, this bar really made me fall in love with this little pocket of NC. Thank you Gary, Jared, and all who I've crossed paths with here. Stop in and have a drink, you won't ever regret it!!

Was only in for a drink but super glad I was able to fit it in. The bartender Tay was super and made the best cocktail ive had in a while. Definitely coming back

Great spot for craft cocktails. The crowd can sometimes get loud, but most nights it’s a pretty chill place.

This is a beautiful bar with excellent potential. Unfortunately, the service is nonexistent - I would give zero stars if possible. This is the second year in a row that we went to see the same great cover band at this location. Yes, we gave it a second chance after the last below par exceptionally rude experience hoping that it was just a bad apple bartender, but no, this was worse than last year. Last year I asked for a very specific top shelf bourbon pour and was told, “you do realize that is a $60 pour?” Unbelievably rude. Now a year later, one bartender, one bar back and an over 45 minute wait for a drink! Unacceptable and a grave disservice to the band playing. We left after one drink. Sorry, we will not be returning and we hope the band finds a new venue so we can enjoy the music!

Very nice bar on Franklin St. The bartenders are extremely nice and make great drinks. We go there a lot for company events and everyone seems to enjoy this venue. Highly recommend it.
If you want a well crafted cocktail, this is the place!

Great spot for an elevated bourbon or cocktail experience. Solid selection and very knowledgeable staff add to this gem, which gives speakeasy vibes. Low light and leather keep the vibe going, and the pool table at the end of the joint adds just a touch of socializing space. Added bonus: if you see a whiskey you want to try but aren’t quite sure you want a full pour, they offer smaller pours, too. Highly recommend.

Love the vibes of this rustic old school bar. The drinks are delicious and well balanced. The bartenders are attentive and have knowledge on the alcohol. A must if you are looking for a great drink.
