Finally checking this place out! Been on the brewery hitlist for a hot min! They've been open 7yrs…read more& I've been tryna make it here for just over 3! Did not disappoint! The vibe is pure microbrewery and I'm so here for it! They are a hybrid brewery/taproom so they have 5-6 of their own beers and a variety of other local/NC breweries, which is great to keep options open while also showcasing in-house brewing! Jeff, the owner & brewer, was behind the bar when I came in and he is the epitome of the foundation of the craft brew scene. All of the in-house beers were fantastic! The quality and beer artistry that went into the beers was evident with each sip! Also, u gotta luv a place that commits to a theme! This one is board sports and from the name to the decor to the beer names, it is ubiquitous and I'm so here for it! The taproom is small yet weirdly spacious...w/bar, table, upstairs, and even patio seating! So come for the beers and stay for the flight boards (as each one is unique)! Beers had: -Vert Ramp Vanilla Cream Ale 5.3% The flavor notes on both the nose & body/finish on this one -Mile Marker 55 Mango Wit 5% Luved that the hint of very distinct mango was on the finish and the wheat/wit was on the front/middle palate! -Morning Sesh Coffee Stout 7% The coffee was prevalent but not overpowering...I could have this beer w/bfast! Made w/Dark Roast Sumatra -Get Barreled BBA Stout 10.1% This is perfection for the abv; no cloying sweetness, u get the toffee/vanilla behind the finish from the barrel-aging but the tannins & malt from the stout -in-barrel come through gorgeously giving u an unsweet BBA stout that holds up to the 10.1% -Shape Shack Passion Fruit Pear Sour 3.4% I usually don't do sours but this one drinks like a prickly pear (fruit) margarita, and I'm not mad about it!

Both were such great options for wanting something on the lighter side! It is a relaxed, laid back, and welcoming environment. I love how you can also bring your own food!

Everyone was so nice & our waiter made sure we had everything we needed. Parking was easy because there's a parking lot in the back. They had a really big menu so I'm excited to go back and try more. The cocktail list also looked good!

Came here to try the Fluffer Nutter PJ Marshmallow Stout. Saw it on their website and said "I gotta…read moretry it".. It was Saturday and pretty crowded. I think there was a private event. Even though it was crowded, we were served right away. I loved their elevator turned mini wine cave. Clever way to use it. They carried other loved brewery products like Gingers Revenge and Fiddle.

We recently visited The Podium as part of a local food series we're filming, and overall it was a…read morereally enjoyable experience. The atmosphere was one of the biggest surprises. They have games, pool tables, darts, basketball, arcade machines, outdoor seating, and a welcoming setup that makes it easy to hang out for a while. The staff was very friendly and accommodating from the moment we arrived. Our total wait time from sitting down to receiving food was about 21 minutes, which felt reasonable considering drinks and appetizers came out first. The deep fried crab balls were delicious, and the fries were cooked perfectly. For the wings, we tried multiple flavors including Atomic Buffalo, Sweet Chili, Lemon Pepper, Teriyaki, and Jerk. The cook on the wings was excellent -- crispy without being dry. Some flavors stood out more than others depending on personal preference, but the Sweet Chili and Teriyaki were favorites for our table. The ranch was also really good, which definitely matters with wings. Overall, the atmosphere, service, and food made this a fun experience and we'd return again.

My mom and I stumbled upon this place after getting our nails done nearby and I'm honestly glad we…read moredid! The food was good (mostly typical bar food but still delicious!). The wings had a lot of flavor and were a little spicy which I liked. The pretzels were delicious. The cheese sauce was the only thing that could've been better. We also got the garlic cheese curds and they were SO garlicky and cheesy. I was really impressed with those. My mom got the taco salad and she was really impressed. It comes in a taco shell which is a nice touch and they definitely didn't skimp on the ingredients. My favorite thing about this spot though was the vibe! We ended up there on karaoke night which was such a nice treat. They were doing a karaoke competition and had a panel of "judges" which was so fun! Our service was really good too. It seemed like a lot of people were regulars but everyone was super nice! Definitely a fun spot to grab a drink and a bite to eat.

I ain't trying to sip in silence like I'm in a library. Had a flight -- not amazing, but not offensive either. Somewhere between "meh" and "yeah I'd sip that again." But then. Just as I'm about to cash out, the largest cockroach I've ever seen decides to make its grand entrance. Full sprint across the bar like it owned the place. We pointed it out, and the whole bar absolutely lost it. The bartender screamed like it was a horror movie. One guy tried to catch it but acted like the thing had fangs. Finally, a dude with a mustache stepped up like a true hero and handled the situation -- probably deserves a plaque. 3/5. Great vibes. Solid people. But I draw the line at pet roaches.

Dive is not really that divey, i'm guessing "relax and hang out and play games in cocktailored comfort bar" was taken so "Dive Bar" it is... this location is way bigger and more above ground than the OG in Mooresville plus it has patio seating to get away from the madding crowd when it arrives as I'm sure it will, it just wasn't here (yet?) today but it's still early and still Thursday and a bit too warm for May. entry and main room have several games of "skill" and other amusements to give your hands something to do besides raising your glass. further back there's more games and some pool tables; a standard coin-op plays different than 'World Series o' Billiards' tables because, well, you know... you're in a bar! which, oddly enough, is exactly the same reason you could loose your house payment (if they allowed that sort of thing here (which they don't.)) it's a nice place, kinda glad I don't live too near here or I'd be here more often than not.

Magnolia Blue was one of my favorite High Point eateries. Whether I went for weekend brunch or New…read moreYear's Eve dinner, I never had a bad meal there. It closed in early February for what were supposed to be renovations, only to reopen months later with a new name and a new concept, trading slightly upscale Southern for more upscale Italian. In some regards, this makes sense - it fills a void created by the closure of Lulu and Blu - but in other ways, it's a massive gamble. My wife and I went for our anniversary dinner, and while it was an overall pleasant experience, it also made us miss Magnolia. The higher price point is the chief culprit. Otto and Blue offers pastas in the $20s and entrees starting in the $30s, bread and olive oil not included. While we were celebrating an occasion that merited such a splurge, it's hard to imagine the restaurant remaining competitive at those prices once the sheen of newness wears off. Look past that, however, and Otto and Blue shines in both ambiance and service. It's classy without being stuffy, and the dark turquoise tones suit it well. Allison, a Magnolia Blue mainstay, was personable and attentive and provided excellent service throughout the meal. Otto and Blue's menu offers apps, salads, pastas, and entrees. It's predominantly Italian albeit with a few options for the steak-and-potatoes crowd. The dishes range from recognizably classic (rigatoni Bolognese) to conspicuously elevated (halibut piccatta). After mulling over several offerings, we went with the bread service, tagliatelle, and duck cacciatore. The food ranged from fairly good to outstanding. While $9 for bread is a tough pill to swallow, they executed it as well as they possibly could have: a hot, fresh ciabatta with tasty herb butter, olive relish, and a quality olive oil-balsamic combo as accompaniments. The cacciatore boasted a pair of duck legs confit, and while I'm usually no fan of dark meat poultry, these were prepared well with crispy skin and plenty of meat. For a typically hearty dish, the sauce seemed light (and a bit subdued), but that could be a consequence of serving atop polenta (more absorbent) rather than pasta. Speaking of pastas and sauces, the tagliatelle hit a nice balance of creamy and zesty without swimming in its white wine lemon sauce. Surprisingly, the highlight of the meal ended up being the dessert that Otto and Blue kindly offered as an anniversary gift. A scoop of vanilla bean gelato came adorned with a Biscoff cookie, a drizzle of olive oil, and a dash of salt. If salt and especially olive oil on ice cream seem vaguely blasphemous, don't knock it until you try it. Each bite was thoroughly delicious. It's a given that good food doesn't come cheap, but even so, Otto and Blue has no margin for error to justify what it charges. On food alone, it was close but not quite there. However, the overall experience made it worthwhile, and I have no regrets about dining here.

The service was impeccable. The chicken and waffles looked delightful as well. The place is very posh and they have parking behind the building and make sure you walk towards the outside of the building towards their ground floor entrance! I'll be back soon!
