Update to below review:…read more I've been here 5 times now and have a better feel for things. They have games here too...things like Uno, trivia, battleship, trivia, jenga, etc. It's kid friendly during daytime hours and the occasional food truck is really great! It was rockin' last Friday night--musical Bingo followed by Kareoke w a food truck and great 80s 90s music playing w sports on the TV's. Everyone I meet is a parent or part of a family, so extremely friendly, and my sis's dog got to meet another dog even so it was just really amazing to see a neighborhood embrace this bisiness so quickly--obviously it was the missing piece. Even more of a reason for 5 stars! __________________ Cute new neighborhood bar. Dog water bowls inside and out, 3 big screens w sound wired to all inside, pool table, sofas, hightops bar seating....20+ beers on tap and a liquor menu focused on bourbons and some whiskeys and scotch--but they have a little of everything. Service was polite and speedy. Ambiance / atmosphere / vibe was clean w a little industrial vibe w the cool ceiling. Foid trucks rotate in regularly--this place is great and dog-friendly. I can't wait to see it grow as this is the 1st written review and I'm just visiting my sis who lives in the neighborhoid (I live in Richmond VA). 5 stars.

During the day, it's comfortable for families, and evening events transform the space into a real entertainment center. Musical activities, karaoke, and the arrival of various food trucks add variety and make each visit special. People around are easy to talk to, and you can feel that the locals sincerely support this establishment. It's very nice to see how it's becoming part of the community. I'll be happy to come back again -- five stars without hesitation!

It's been a while since I had Lonerider's beer and at one point it slipped my mind to write a…read morereview about it but then I realized there was still a review I haven't posted yet for the brewery and decided to rectify that oversight. We had three different beers from this brewery, one in which appears to be no longer in production. The discontinued one was a pale ale by the name of Peacemaker. It was refreshing and enjoyable to have. Flavor features with this beer are that typically seen with a pale ale which are hoppy, malty and sweet. The beer is very light bodied which is nice and very smooth. Unfortunate that it's out of production. The other two beers we had are still being made. One was Shotgun Betty which is a Hefeweizen. Not bad but sometimes I struggle with Hefes and the strong banana clove flavor which was the case here. It was good that it was light bodied like most Hefes are and smooth also. The final beer was the Sweet Josie Brown Ale which I think was my favorite. The sweet, malty and coffee flavors are very enjoyable and like the prior two beers a nice smooth body to this fine dark beer. I am glad I recalled this brewery experience as I felt it was important to post the beers we had and what we thought of them!

Looking for authentic Irish pub vibes in North Carolina? Trali Irish Pub absolutely delivers!…read more I had to order the Shepherd's Pie, and it did not disappoint. Rich, slow-cooked beef stew topped with a beautifully swirled layer of creamy mashed potatoes--it was the ultimate comfort food. To pair with it, I enjoyed "The First Squeeze," a refreshing wheat beer from a local North Carolina brewery that complemented the meal perfectly. I planned to skip dessert...but then I spotted the Baileys Cheesecake on the menu. Resistance was futile, and I'm so glad I gave in! It was the perfect sweet ending to a fantastic meal. With its warm, authentic Irish atmosphere, friendly staff, and delicious food, Trali Irish Pub is definitely worth a visit. Sláinte!

I needed a nosh before a meeting and who doesn't love an Irish Pub?…read more This was my first time visiting Trali and won't be my last. It was about 6pm and the dining room was about half full, but everyone seemed in good spirits and many were watching the World Cup. The hostess sat me at a table near the entrance and facing the bar, I had a book with me to catch up on and planned to read a bit. Within a few minutes, the server came around, showed me the beer list and asked if I wanted anything else. When she returned, she saw that I had a book and very attentively asked if I would like to be moved to a quieter table... yes please! She mentioned that a 16 top was due any minute and they'd be taking up the large bar top in the center of the room, and it'd probably get pretty loud. She then talked with the hostess, and they moved me into, the library, of all rooms... how apropos... It's literally adjacent to the open bar area, but walled off and with a definite library vibe. I was sat in a corner table and with perfect ambiance. Looking over the menu, I couldn't really decide on a dish, but I wanted something more traditional Irish. I finally chose the Boxty potatoes topped with corned beef and it was a perfect portion. Everything came out to the table quickly, perfectly hot, and portioned well. I loved the mix of flavors and textured from the baked mashed potato to the shredded corned beef, and finished every single bite. I finished two chapters of my book and was pleased to see another patron in that room also reading. All in all, a night well spent and will definitely return when I'm in the area.

We came here for trivia on Thursdays. It is a cool place and one of those places where you get a…read morewristband and you pay by the ounce that you drink. They have beer, wine and premixed cocktails on tap and also have whiskey. They also have soft drinks and canned craft beers that you can purchase as well. They have pretty typical bar food menu items that were, really good. Our group tried a pizza, the pretzel bites, garlic bread, nachos, and mac and cheese bites. The pretzel and mac and cheese bites were my favorite. Trivia was fun but it was a little hard to hear unfortunately. The acoustics or microphone or both were a bit challenging, but fun nonetheless! Will definitely return!

I suggest you never come here. False advertising and an incredibly disappointing experience…read more The advertisement clearly says that Fridays include the first drink on them. When we arrived, we were told that promotion was only from 6-8 PM. That restriction was not clear in the advertisement....please see the screenshots/photos. Unfortunately, that was just the beginning. They were out of the only Sauvignon Blanc they offered, and multiple dishes on the menu were unavailable. When dishes were available, they didn't have the sides that were supposed to come with them, for example, buffalo wings but no celery. When we spoke to the very young manager about our experience, her only response was, "Sorry." The cauliflower I ordered was actually good, but my friend tried ordering several different items and was told they were unavailable. She eventually went next door to get something else to eat. She brought it back unopened and hadn't even started eating it. Despite the fact that I had ordered food and had a drink from this restaurant, we were then asked to move to the other restaurant's outdoor seating because my friend had brought her food back. She was literally waiting until we got back to the hotel to eat it (to go) The entire experience was frustrating from beginning to end. Poor communication, misleading advertising, limited availability, and customer service that did nothing to resolve the situation. I would never, ever go here again. Ps the place where my friend got food was 5 star (Shawarma). We should have known as they were packed and Hoppy House was a ghost town!

We wanted to give them the benefit of doubt and saw they had love island watch parties. We came early to secure a spot. Told the host why we came and he sat us right by the TV. We waited for it to begin. We tried to order the theme drinks and were told no because it's only when the show begins. (Mind you this was 10 mins prior to show time) Then the show was supposed to begin and none of the tvs were on the show. We watched them play with remotes for 15 mins. Still they didn't put it on the half of the bar were 4 groups were waiting. 30mins into the show we didn't see our server, no one told us it was only showing in the pool area. Us and another table had to get up to see it was on the other side of the bar. Mind you, there was no sound for a WATCH PARTY! So people were reading subtitles. Finally our server came and apologized about it not being on our side. We asked for the check and she charged us for those drinks WE NEVER GOT! That were sitting at the bar for 30mins. (That if you remember we couldn't order?!?) Then she hands us the drinks when we asked, now melted and still we had to pay for them even though we were literally leaving.

There is a note on the door that masks are required when entering and when you are not at your table during COVID-19. I was a little turned off to see that the bartender was not wearing one though. You can choose a beer from the draft list or in the cooler section (there is a $1.50 corkage fee). If you want beer for home, there is a small selection to choose from.

With 52 beers on tap there's no shortage of options on the drink side. However unfortunately the food didn't seem fresh and neither me nor my friend was a big fan of anything we ordered.

Good place to grab a beer with a friend, just don't come hungry expecting the food to match the drinks.

My review may not be your experience and it's entirely based off what I ordered and cost. There's no bang for your buck here. The plus: - Music was good (Gwen Stefani "Sweet Escape" had me vibing) - Atmosphere near the bar is perfect for feeling like you're not in an airport - Server was quick and efficient (tipped him well - Food was hot - Loves the pickled okra that came with my meal The minus: - Pricing is steep for handhelds and entrees - My fish filet handheld was filling but not $28 filling (it was small) - Fresh but lacked flavor - No place to plug in for charging My handheld might have honestly cost them $4 total (with fries). And it was small and lacked flavor. I know, I know ... it's the airport. Just not what I had expected. Still, decent atmosphere if that's what you're looking for.
