“Wether it’s Brent, Jenna, or Chelsea behind the bar it’s always a speedy service and a one of a kind conversation. They create the atmosphere, and the new floors and paint, along with the cool novelties hanging on the walls, just make it seem like a cozy little bar. They always have karaoke going as well and that seems to be a hit there, or if you’re a sports fan they usually always have a game or two showing. Always a fan. Thanks for everything you guys do and keep it up. Will definitely keep coming back.“

“Made this great place a halfway spot to meet a long distance friend. I absolutely enjoyed this chilled spot. Erin (our bartender) was welcoming, engaging, friendly and very personable with the regular patriots. Unfortunately, they only had pizza that was unavailable at the moment. BUT, Erin and other guest were very generous to offer other restaurant choices that we were allow to eat at S>. Looking forward to taking another overnight trip there in the near future. Thank you for making us feel welcomed. Much continued success!“

“Decent bar prices awesome atmosphere 👌👍👍“

“Definitely a cool dive bar type spot in the heart of winston-salem. I was staying overnight and went there based on other reviews that I had saw. The guy that served me behind the bar was really cool and chill to talk to. I don't recall his name but he's been there for quite a few years. When I first went in there was me and maybe three other people in there but by the time the game was over the college crowd started to pour in. Lively spot in a good place to go. Drink prices for reasonable and even the patrons that I was around were very friendly. Another bartender came in later in the evening I'm guessing to provide additional coverage for the crowd. She was pretty friendly as well and I'd go back just for her lol!“
