“I was fortunate to have found Shoeless back in 2015 when my kid was doing karate next door. Although I live in Piedmont, Shoeless is and always will be my local (which as a British person is important). I bought my first brew kit here, celebrated a friend’s divorce here, have made wine here, and I can’t even tell you how many evenings and lunchtimes have been here. It’s welcoming, comfortable, and the owners and staff are very knowledgeable. It’s dog-friendly, and my kids have grown up here (don’t get me wrong, you’re not going to fight kids here). Brew-wise, I have tried a lot of breweries in the area over the years, and Shoeless remains my favourite. The selection is great, and although my partner and I have very different tastes, we’re both always happy. It’s just a good and welcoming place to be.“

“**Five Stars!** Social Cigar Lounge is hands down my favorite spot in the region! From the moment you walk in, you’re greeted by a warm, welcoming community of fellow cigar enthusiasts. The owner goes above and beyond to make everyone feel at home, and it’s clear that he’s passionate about creating a great experience for all. The cigar selection is second to none, whether you’re a seasoned aficionado or just starting out, you’ll find something to love here. But what really sets Social Cigar Lounge apart is the people. There’s a genuine sense of camaraderie and connection that makes every visit special. If you’re looking for a place to relax, enjoy top-notch cigars, and be part of a fantastic community, look no further. Highly recommended!“

This place is an easy 4.7-5 or better. Food was great, rreasonably priced for the quality, very fresh, and the service with Stacy, superb!!“

“Matty wears a Hawaiian shirt. He wants to make you think you are buying a beach vacation instead of a fifth of Jack.Matty had this weird way of pronouncing the names of the booze, like he is trying to sound fancy but it just comes off as pretentious. "Ah, yes, our selection of veeeen-yaahhh is quite exquisite, sir." Give me a break, dude, you sell handles of Burnetts, calm down.“

“We just had our wedding reception at the Travelers Rest location. It was beyond amazing! Kimmie and the rest of the staff went above and beyond to help make our day perfect. I lost count of how many times our guests said it was the most fun wedding they’ve ever been to. We definitely look forward to coming back up to visit and enjoy some good drinks!“

“Great people, atmosphere and music! <3“

“This local pub / restaurant is incredible! The staff is outstanding! The founder, Lia (spelling?) is so wonderful! You can tell she loves her business and her guests. Great food! Cool atmosphere. Fun games! Highly recommend!“

“I really enjoyed my visit and would definitely go back! I had the chile relleno and a fish taco with watermelon pico—both were flavorful and absolutely delicious. My friend tried the guacamole, but we both agreed it tasted more like a store-bought version than something freshly made.

We each ordered the spicy margarita. It was a bit too hot for my friend, but I loved it—it had the perfect balance of heat and a great smoky flavor.

The atmosphere reminded me of a high-end food court, casual but stylish. The bar area stood out as especially nice, and the bartenders were super friendly and accommodating. Overall, a great spot for tasty food and solid drinks at a decent price.“

“Best food around love the countries fried steak“

“Tried when they first opened and was not impressed but I gave it another shot and I am so glad I did. The Nachos, Onion Rings and Chicken Tenders are wonderful. The milk shake is really good too! The atmosphere is a little loud but a lot of fun.“

“I've seen it in the making, which it always will be due to the second to none creativity of the owner, and that same endless creativity also goes into the delicious food items. A place where you can point at any food item on the menu with your eyes closed and always be surprised and delighted with what comes out of the kitchen. If you're looking for varied and delicious cuisine and an awesome selection of beverages in a great atmosphere with friendly staff, look no further.“
