How are you gonna refuse to let a whole adult with a 401k in because you don't feel like verifying a verifiable ID :/ the group after me asked why, and apparently "the edges were peeling", so they showed their peeling IDs and said "well we definitely won't get in then" BUT THEY DID :/ Bless their hearts, they tried to say something, but she just got angrier and snapped at me to have a good night in a way which suggested that she very much did NOT want me to have a good night. My siblings flew out from Philly and NYC for one night together, so needless to say this was a damper, but apparently not uncommon -- you'd think a place with that reputation would have a little employee oversight :/

Plenty of TVs to watch in this two stories establishment and they and staff willing to switch to what people wanted to watch.

The staff was super friendly, attentive, and made the whole place feel welcoming from the second we walked in. The giant screen setup is insane and makes this one of the best spots in Chapel Hill to catch a game with friends. Food-wise, everything we had was legit. The buffalo chicken dip disappeared in about five minutes, the pizza dough tasted fresh and flavorful, and the salmon bowl was honestly way better than you'd expect from a sports bar - fresh, balanced, and actually memorable. And the milkshakes are next level. You have to try one. Great atmosphere, fantastic staff, delicious food, giant screens, and just an overall fun vibe.

My husband and I went on a late Saturday afternoon and we were seated immediately. We shared the Fido's Fries as an appetizer and I got the Chili Cheese Dogs as my entree. Almost everything could be made veggie or vegan so I asked for the dogs to be veggie. My meal also came with a side so I got the frickles (fried pickles). The Fido's Fries were beer battered fries, topped with cheese, bacon (we got the pork option but they have soy), scallions, & sour cream (on the side). The fries were absolutely delicious! I loved my chili cheese dogs as well. It was a very generous portion because it was two dogs and a ton of frickles. As a dog lover, I adored all of the dog art & statues around the place. The menu is even dog themed. I mean they call appetizers kibbles & bits. That could not be any cuter! There is indoor seating (with a bar) and outdoor seating. As you can probably already tell, the restaurant is dog friendly (with their outdoor area). They even have a dog friendly menu (called puppy meals). Service was superb! There is no dedicated parking lot but we easily found free parking a few blocks away. My mom is a vegan and we sometimes struggles to find creative meals when she visits. I will definitely be taking her here next!

My drink was good but I'm pretty sure the house made syrup was made with sweetener that was not cane sugar and I'm very sensitive to any other sweetener. Menu was large and I had a hard time deciding. It is a somewhat vegan place much to my surprise so I figured why not try it here because I do love good vegan option even though I do eat meat I ordered the trio of patties black eyed peas and black bean. I took a bite of each and left the rest. Three different staff noticed my untouched food but none inquired or offered replacing it or removing it from bill which to me would be a gesture of a good business practice. My companion enjoyed and loved each morsel of his crab cakes! The battered fries were great! My server was very kind and attentive.

The bartender was an absolute sweetheart and didn't skip a beat. We finally saw a vacancy at the bar continued drinks from there.

The peal and eat shrimp tasted really good with a little lemon squeezed on them and i believe their cocktail sauce is homemade. My boyfriend's wings were really good and the fries were my favorite.
