    We stopped in after a hockey game on a Saturday night to check this place out as it was on our…read moreroute home. We have always wanted to try this place out seeing it many times off of the roadway and it looked interesting because it was a converted gas station. As we parked and approached campus gas we noted that there was plenty of outdoor seating, primarily wooden benches, tables and places to lounge around outside near the fire pit. There were people enjoying a drink and playing a lively game of cornhole. We strolled around then went inside to explore what the business had to offer in the way of drinks and maybe get something to eat. As it turned out, it was around 9 o'clock, and the lady that came out from the kitchen told me that the kitchen was closed for the evening so we weren't able to get any food at that time so we walked around inside and looked at the small things for sale and the decorations saw the nice high top bar and chairs and since things were winding down, we decided to leave instead of having something to drink. We didn't see a bartender or someone to serve us a drink anyway. So as it stands, we'll have to come back by some other time and check it out. I hear the food is interesting, casual and good and there are a lot of beer selections. I look forward to coming back another time and trying the food and drink.

    My wife and I pass this place every late afternoon during our daily walk and finally decided to…read morestop in and check it out. It's an old-style gas station you'd expect to find on Route 66 that has been converted into what I'll call a local pub. It's got some simple comfort foods to go along with a wide variety of both alcoholic and non-alcoholic beverages. Barstool table seating inside with picnic tables outside. They've got a cornhole set outside to complete the backyard picnic feel, and I've even seen customers seated with their dogs. Very cool. My wife and I were cheerfully greeted when we walked in. We shared an order of chicken tenders and tater tots. My wife got a bottled water, and I picked a NA beer from their selection. Finally, someplace that carries an assortment of NA beers! The food took a while to come out, but this isn't a fast-food joint and it was nice to slow down and have a conversation. The chicken tenders and tater outs were hot and tasted great. Definitely a generous portion of both and I'm glad we got just one order. In summary, the place is nothing fancy. It's just a great place to hang out with friends and enjoy some comfort foods and frosty beverages. It's definitely on our "will return" list.

    Such a fun vibe here! The outside area is so relaxed and nice in the warmer weather. The bartenders…read moreare knowledgable and nice. They make the drinks strong. Speaking of drinks theg are delicious! I went with friends for a groove lab music show and had a blast! Drinks were flowing, music was fun, parking was easy, all around good experience. The only thing I did not like was the weird bathroom.

    We always have a good time dancing here (mainly Saturday nights). There is group of local DJs that…read morehave EDM events here sometimes and theses you can't miss! The drinks are good and priced consistent with Winston-Salem. The inside is rather small but there is a patio/lounge area with a firepit. Most times I have been it was free to get in but when they have special DJ nights, entrance is usually $10. Glad there is somewhere to go downtown to dance to non-country music! you have to walk into the dance area to get to the restroom (just like Joyners) but the inside has a dark vibe with some tables that light up and the alcohol wall at the bar is a masterpiece. There are seats behind the DJ table and I'm not sure why that area isn't used; the whole building can probably hold 60 people dancing at the same time. But all-in-all, it's a lively place, and yes, it gets happening after midnight, as to be expected when there is a DJ in the house. Just walk to Euphoria after you see a show at Ramkat or Wise Man and dance till dawn! (not really but at least 2am)

Such a artsy and definitely industrial kinda place. Outside seating which was lovely on a nice cooler morning when we went, there were a lot of people working or meeting others . There's a lot of space inside also they have a covered patio area inside. They have a a great menu of all house made biscuits and biscuit sandwiches. Also sweet treats. Which all look amazingly delicious and very hard to decide what to get. I got a cappuccino and a biscuit with jam. Which was nice and warm and buttery, the jam is also house made and really good smeared in the biscuit. I wish they had skim milk, but they only offer oat and whole. So I had oat and had a really nice coffee! My friend had a cold brew and the espresso cinnamon roll. The cinnamon roll was picture beautiful! I tried it and it was really good except neither of us could detect any espresso! Still really good regardless! Enjoyed eating, drinking and chatting here. Great cool unique place!

It had great flavors and was absolutely massive! The biscuit and chicken were more overcooked than my liking but it was still tasty. I love that this place has a parking lot along with ample indoor and outdoor seating. It's worth stopping in if you're in the area!

    Got to visit the Ramkat again recently for Somewhat Petty, a Tom Petty cover band out of Asheville…read more I really enjoy going to shows at the Ramkat. It's small, making for more intimate performances, but not too small, so they get some decent acts coming through. They offer a full bar with beer, mixed drinks and even THC seltzers. They've got some tables and seating, though you have to pay extra for the seating. Ramkat is located in a great part of town with several dining options, and breweries near by. There are paid lots for parking, but also plenty of free street parking if you arrive early enough.

    Great small venue! I recently did generally admission for the Morgan Wade show. There were some…read moreissues with the sound equipment that produced some feedback for part of the show (not sure if that was due to the artist or the venue). However, the quality of the performance more than made up for it. There were a lot of specialty drinks available, but I just opted for some sodas. Service at the bar was friendly and they were making their way through the line quickly. The energy in the space was good and it seemed like a true music lover's haven. One challenge I had was that there didn't seem to be any seating options for general admission. Even offering a couple of off-to-the-side seats for a rest would be handy, since staying on your feet for a few hours straight can get a little tiring. Perhaps that was a possiblity and I missed it. There was seating in the VIP sections though and the price differential didn't seem too dramatic. Seriously, no bad view in the place due to the venue being so small. I'd absolutely recommend checking out a show here!
