‘My husband and I love this spot. Great neighborhood bar with convenient hours and consistent drinks. It’s unpretentious which is getting harder to find around town.
Price per person
$10–20
I like the vibe of this place! It with the soft blue lighting, it feels like a jazz bar.
As a bonus, the guy checking ids (at least when I went) was the top MMA fighter in Winston, so the place is definitely safe from anyone who would want to cause trouble.
The music is upbeat and loud enough that dancing is much easier than talking, so it would be a good dance place. The only problem is there isn’t much space to dance, unless you did it in the line of fire for the dart game and I wasn’t drunk enough last time to try that.
There’s always next time, though….
I honestly am torn between giving this bar the recognition it deserves and keeping it hidden as a wonderful secret spot in Winston. I love the staff here, who are knowledgeable, courteous, and honestly care how you're doing. You're made to feel like a regular on day one. The crowd is always small but courteous and friendly. Well-behaved dogs are welcome and there's an open patio for smokers that is steps away from the bar itself. The place is cozy and small, but it's not lacking in anything but a kitchen. While I wish food was always available, the staff have no issue with you bringing in outside food, and they prepare food for Trivia Tuesdays. This is a perfect mix between classy and casual. Don't expect a raging party or rowdy customers, because it's not that kind of bar. What you will find is a wonderfully friendly crowd of interesting people, a personable and experienced bartender, and a great time.
An underrated gem of Winston! The bartender Justin poured great drinks and also worked with customers to make sure they got home safely when some had indulged in a few too many. Very nice to find a bartender who cares and isn't interested in free pouring to get better tips. 👍
They'll "act" friendly to you, but will let you walk MILES in the rain late at night without offering a phone call to get a taxi or let you charge your phone for an uber. I will not return for their business.
It's the best porch in town. The bartenders make great drinks and are always friendly. If you're from Winston there's a good chance you will run into a familiar face. Spring, Summer nights, and Fall are the best times to go enjoy the sun and breeze while sipping delicious cocktails.
One of my co-workers, Sarah, put together a work dinner/party at this pub. We had such a great time! The beer menu was great. The staff were fun and warm. The atmosphere is casual, but cozy. Loved it!
