The smell of cigarette smoke overtakes the whole experience. Next are the racist regulars. Just in our short visit we heard the N word at least 17 times. Next are the drama lovers. A few women there seemed to thrive off of starting drama even with very few patrons there. We get it, it's a bar, it's a pool hall, it's a hole in the wall. There were a couple nice people there but the clientele were just not very representative of what the town of Kannapolis is thriving to be.

Well there wasn't a dress code last month.. kind of frustrating. Got there 45 minutes before the posted closing time on a freakin Saturday.. on the Internet (change your stuff if your hours change)and of course they had already made last call and we're closing the place up ... do better.

They lost a star because there were little too many bugs flying around. I ordered a drink that had a sugar rim and the mix she had made for the drink had tons of bugs flying in and around it, so I had to switch to beer. The food..we did the deviled eggs, which were good, not a wow just your basic deviled eggs nothing fancy. We got the smoked wings, fish and chips and stuffed hush puppies. Everything was good. The stuffed hush puppiss stole the show for me. They were stuffed with pimento cheese and came with a side of this garlic butter! They were absolutely amazing and so flavorful. The wings were also very good, we got the cheerwine BBQ I've never heard nor had but man, so good. The fish and chips were good. Excellent cooked seasoned fries. Two nice pieces of fish. For me the fish was little over fried, but still very enjoyable.

The George Clinton Mural was on the side of the Towel City Tavern building, so since I was already…read morethere, I decided to have lunch. Towel City Tavern has two floors and is connected to the baseball stadium. Only the first floor was open during my visit. The Cabarrus Brewing Co. serving tanks are what you see as you enter. If you order a beer, it will be fresh as it comes directly from the tanks, as it is brewed on site. The restaurant's name pays homage to the city's textile roots and the towels made at the mills. The restaurant design also incorporated the town's history with Cannon Mills. The restaurant has an industrial feel with the open kitchen, high ceilings, concrete floors, exposed brickwork and steel structures. The tables were crafted from a 160-year-old tree that fell on the mill property. There were garage doors that likely opened during the games. They offer a $10 lunch special that includes a drink, side and entree. The $10 menu had a lot to select from: sandwiches, wraps, salads, wings, and a burger. I went with the All-American burger and fries. My burger was a good size, cooked to order and tasted great. The fries were really good, too. Service was great and attentive too. I was even offered a tea to go. My waiter got me in and out of the restaurant fast so I could get to the Music Hall of Fame on time. I did stop at the mural again on my way back to the car. Parking was free in the street spots and no time limits. Although I am not sure about the rules on game days/nights. With my favorite mural on the building, I have a feeling I will be back again to try more menu items and maybe see a ballgame too.

We arrived right at opening, 3pm so the place was empty. We were immediately greeted by Ashton and seated at the bar. Ashton was on point with every aspect of the visit. Drinks never went empty, check ins were perfectly frequent and efficient. We ordered the onion rings as a starter, they were big and coked perfectly. Next came the mushroom Swiss burger cooked medium rare. The burger was perfectly cooked and one of the best I've had (honestly). The cheese steak was delicious and was recommended by Ashton. We totally enjoyed the experience. Feedback for the owner would be... 1.add some seasoning to the fries and onion rings. 2. Drain some of the grease from the cheese steak.

We decided on the their appetizer sampler just to get a feel for their food, and it wasn't a great feel. The wings were burnt, Maybe that's their "style" but it didn't work. They were so dry. The shrooms had too much breading and were also overcooked, thought at least not burnt. The mozzarella sticks were actually decent. The pretzels was good, but some awful beer cheese. I had two of their IPA's and I did enjoy those. Unfortunately not someplace I'd go back to unless someone assured me it was better

Beer options were ok with some drafts but the most uncomfortable thing was with this girl I think named Genine. She came on to me and my girlfriend and clearly intoxicated and definitely being over served. She was covered in tacky tattoos and I would say at least mid 50s if not 60 and just obliterated. Some men seemed to attempt to hang around her but the whole time it was just very inappropriate and uncomfortable. Not sure if this is how they allow things here but we will not be back. The place is just too weird and dirty. I know that some obviously like it but not a place to just pick out for date night. No food available.

Another party also ordered all 3 eggrolls but they were burned and had hair in them. She sent them back and her claim was disputed by both the manager and bartender. The fact that the burned Eggrolls were not replaced without a triple check shocked me. I was flabbergasted. Based on that interaction she proclaimed she wouldn't return nor would I.
