A routine favorite! The beers and Biergarten are always enjoyable. But... the food quality has dropped tremendously since the original ownership changed hands. Roquette was consistently awesome. A pair of us would happily throw down $70-80 for an evening (beers included), regularly. That's special. It's too bad that that chef walked away, because now we're left with cold, dry fries and sub-standard pub grub offerings. What are they thinking! Nothing good lasts forever.

Really cute indoor/outdoor bar space… pet friendly… nice beer selection… super friendly staff. Did not eat but looks like the permanent food truck had good food.

Hate to say this as this was one of my favorite places in Chapel Hill but the food has suffered tremendously since Roquette left. It’s more expensive and not nearly as tasty ($9 for one slider is a slap in the face when Al’s is directly across the street serving a full size for $10). Like 6 different slider options and none are a simple burger. Venue is great, beer selection is solid but what really made it a destination was the food from roquette. I probably won’t be back unless they promise better food at an actually reasonable price.

I don't take this negatively but my son says, "This is the best Gen X bar in town!" Great location, excellent vibe and a great selection of beer. The food has suffered recently and I really miss the old food truck's, but there are plenty other dining options nearby.

This spot ROCKS! Love the upstairs fairy light rustic vibes. The Caesar salad is award winning. Mac n cheese was also impressive. They have a nice selection of beers too. Pretty casual, but in a nice way. Apparently the fries are delightful. Would happily come back. $12-18 for food.
