Got here late. Just in time to get a pizza which was tasty but a little over priced. Beer was good. Bar keep was attentive and friendly. I would go back if I lived nearby!

Great beer, and an amazing atmosphere. The German pilsner was one of the best.

Out of this universe beers!!!! try the mama rose, gavatate, red ale, oktoberfest and the belgian white, ok we went overboard, but I promise stay a while, grab a bite and enjoy the flow of this hidden gem. Did a pit stop here driving our RV from NJ to FL and we def will stop on our drive back. Pizza was fresh, crispy and very flavorful. We also got a cucumber salad and added pulled.pork to it (apparently first time anyone asks for this, please try it! Maybe they will name it after me)
Wings were very good also. This is the type of place you can come with friends or alone and you will still spark a convo with a stranger and have a wonderful evening. Service was attentive and all reccos were on point.

A true hidden gem!!!

Oh check out their activities, they vary by night!

We stopped here for an overnight in our RV but would highly recommend both the food and beverages to anyone passing through the area (or local) who might be looking for a fun, relaxed vibe. In addition to a varied beer selection there were plenty of wine and liquor options as well as N/A so something for every taste. The menu also offered more variety than the average brewpub fare and the quality was definitely better than other bar food.

Poor customer service today on 10/2025 wine rep offered to sample to a customer bartender got pissed bc he was trying to pick him up. Made us sit there over 45 min before putting our order in and then proceeded to disrespect us when he said he couldn’t take a break and things were more important. We never got our food. I’m gay but the gay bartender got jealous and disrespected my company staff. We will never go back again Lisa poor customer service absolutely terrible. Not to mention bartenders drinking and getting drunk behind the bar time to call the alcohol license board

Love Music Bingo and Karaoke. DJ Dessy and Jon are absolutely wonderful! They’re dog friendly, so even my pup can come!

Great beer in a variety of styles! Love the nostalgic car dealership location close to downtown Gastonia and easily accessed from 85. Come for trivia, yoga, live music, or a Sunday afternoon beer. Nice staff and super comfortable seating.

Love the beer here.

What I don't prefer is the new graphics being used for each beer I saw last time coming in. One of the things I love is being able to look at a beer menu and then be able to find the can based of the name or design logo. Having it so different gets confusing. Let me reiterate this is just my preference and someone else may feel differently and that's fine. I just want to leave feedback not get attacked as I have unfortunately heard staff try to do over reviews before while there several different times and it's sad and makes people feel potentially like they can't leave honest reviews without being attacked.

20250706: I was with a group of 15. You order at the bar, and your food is brought to your table. I've stopped drinking as it messes with my sleep. Cavendish had no good N.A. alternatives that I could see.

I ordered a Greek salad, and it was about half the size that I expected for $10.

Something is amiss with the online menu.. I went to the website, clicked on the menu, and nothing came up for me.

The salad was good. My friends had pizzas, and they liked them. One was buffalo chicken, another was barbecue chicken, and a third was Greek. They also liked the beers.

I liked the indoor/outdoor picnic-like atmosphere.

Good times! Great beer

What an experience…. Kraken is awesome and so is the cauliflower crust pizza. We were there on a Tuesday night is open mic night. Where I live, open mic night means comedy; not here. It’s an amazing atmosphere of community and support for budding musicians; especially guitarists. Thank you for letting us join this amazing community of musicians for an extremely special night.
We were here as a Harvest Host and they were well communicative about where to park with our vehicle. Across from Napa parts is a large open space; could be more level, but not an issue for experienced campers
