He just refused to serve me for some reason. I was standing there politely conversing with another customer, patiently waiting for him to take my order. I finally got tired of waiting and said barkeep do you have Tecate in a can? He did not respond. I asked again, barkeep. Do you have Tecate in the can? Again, he did not respond. I looked at the gentleman I was talking to and said well I guess he can fuck off and I turned around and left. That was my experience with the Mecklenberg in. I will not be going back anytime soon. On an unrelated note, it is a beautiful building, absolutely gorgeous woodwork.

The theater seats run down the slope of the room to a level open "dance floor" in front of the stage. Two L-shaped pleather couches separate the seats from the floor. The sound system is quite good for the space and overall the sound for concerts is just fine ... nothing to rave or compain about. As mentioned, the small concession stand provides beer, wine, and snacks as well as locally roasted, fresh-brewed coffee. Whoever is booking the music here appears to have a good ear for talent. So if you live in the area, don't hesitate to drop the meager $5-10 cover to check out the well-curated lineup of regional and national touring acts. Sheptown is lucky to have this place. And it gives me one more reason to keep coming back to this lovely and friendly town along the Potomac River.

I would definitely get that on a warm summer day. Early evening time, I might get a coffee and a slice of their delicious Black Forest cake (if they still do it). The pool option would allow me to give them a full 5 star. :D.

It was just disappointing that they were out of so many things such as chicken, shrimp, and other things that are mainstays of a dinner.

Great music! Excellent whiskies and beers. Ambiance like a really nice barn :-)…read more We wanted a Memorial Day (2025) daytrip from greater-Baltimore. Harper's Ferry is very close! Like an hour (ish) drive. So what's happening in HP? The Barn out Washington St. had a MemorialDay weekend all-day mostly-country music event 2pm to 10:30pm! Very nice. They have a great little bar inside, and sometimes have food from one of the restaurants across the parking lot, or just walk over for takeout, or i think i read that they deliver here. By the way, parking can get a little tight for a bigger event like this one, but we were early enough, maybe 1pm, and we scored a space when someone left. I might as well add that there's several clean restrooms sort of across from the bar. We settled into a huge comfy couch near the back of the hall, behind the seating for roughly 30 at tables and picnic tables. There was also seating for roughly 20 at tables out on a deck. The first solo singer-guitarist, D.C.'s Kate Smiles, had a lovely voice and sweetly original interpretations of rock and pop and country songs that i knew, and a presence that made me say, Hey, Wow, I can relax in this mellow mood with a really nice whiskey from a list that my local bar would envy. By the way, they were out of the local whiskey, Devil's Due, so i had a warming fiery oaky slightly-sweet Elijah Craig bourbon, neat, with a water back. Mmmmm. The second musician, W.V.'s Andrew Copenhaver, moved among soulful blues and country, some classics, some modern. He could put an edge on his voice, and he could hit some deep bass notes, so it was a real pleasure when he gave us Folsom Prison Blues. When you can hit that low note, you have a right to do some Johnny Cash. By now i was into some crisp local beers. That little bar really has everything, including a versatile bartender who made every drink we knew, and we sampled his skills as the third musician, NoVA's Mark Cullinane, took the stage. He had a wide range of country songs, including a moving original that made us feel we were driving in our pickup behind his dad's. He had a great rich tone and great range. Like the second musician, he used some kind of looper to create full layers of harmony. What with all the beverages, we started to fade a little as the music moved into the set by NoVA's seriously-country Rowdy Ace Band around 8pm. They really lit up the hall and the patio and probably a good piece of nearby Harpers Ferry. We eventually moved on to our reservations for dinner across the parking lot at Snallygaster's restaurant. But that's another story. We had a terrific afternoon and evening. The Barn will definitely be one of our go-to spots in this town, and we'll be looking to hear these musicians again!
