    Bar Nola - Pretty cool place to enjoy drinks

    For a Friday night, it was surprisingly quiet when we walked in--but to be fair, it was close to…read more11:00 PM, so maybe it gets livelier earlier or later. A few people were playing card games at one table, others were hanging out near the pool table, and a handful were just vibing to the music at the bar. They have an extensive beer list and some fun New Orleans-style tropical cocktails. I was happy to see an Aperol Spritz on the menu--and it was made properly, so I ended up ordering a second one. It seemed like a few friends of the bartender came in and started picking the music, which shifted into a mix of dance tracks and rap. The vibe fizzled out a bit after that, so we decided to head out. Overall, it could be fun little spot, we will check back later. If you're in the area and miss Hoots Brewery, definitely check out Bar Nola. I can only imagine how great their Mardi Gras party must be or Super Bowl day. On the other end of the building, there's a huge open space with beautiful hardwood floors and a another bar. It looks like the kind of venue where you could easily host a party with a live band--maybe they even rent it out for weddings or holiday events, though I'm not sure if it's officially part of the bar. There's also a large outdoor area with a TV and an uncovered bar, but since it was cold last night, everyone stayed inside. It seems like you can take your drinks out into the alleyway between the two buildings. Definitely a beautiful area to be when the weather is nice.

    Went out here on a whim for a friends birthday and me and my friend fell in love with it! It was…read moreworth the drive. They had a DJ outside and just music playing on the inside. Both locations had great music! They have games inside, a pool table, bar, it's really a very nice size inside. Also the patio is super dope! We are DEFINITELY going back soon and the drinks were good! They don't have food or anything though. Good Service as well!!

    This restaurant is expensive, but worth ever penny…read more We had James River, Virginia and Salty Bonet, North Carolina, oysters. My daughter had the Elk special. I had octopus and bacon wrapped scallops. Service was great. Food delicious.,It is a beautiful restaurant with a railroad theme., Again, this is a great find near Old Salem.

    Why does this not have a yelp page !!!??? Well it does now ! Part of sage and salt this is a place…read moreof its own though as well. I actually found I liked this place much better for many reasons. Much more room as far as tables and bar area go. Great atmosphere and better service. Also come take a look at this bar... it's awesome! I love the wood they use throughout the restaurant and just the feel of the place is classy. You can get your sage and salt food here too plus they have a fantastic raw bar here. A terrific drinks menu and a pretty amazing wine list. Also take in the wine cellar when you walk in. Not many places in Winston have one like that. They have wine by the glass on the menu but ask for that wine list it's pretty nice. We got a bottle of the petit Syrah recommended by their wine guy who came and asked us what we wanted and came up with the bottle with our price point. This bottle will be in my to find list as it was really good and smooth and went with our meal so well. Not bad for the $70. We tried the bread service which comes with good butter, tapenade and a tomato Pesto. Loved the crunchy whole grain! Nice cornbread too and a white bread. Also the crunchy twice battered fries are a must! So they have several types of oysters, we went with four different ones out fantastic server Katherine talked about. These were all served on ice with cocktail sauce, hot sauce, lemon, mignonette and a hot mustard . Each one was so different. Loved each one and they were all kinda meaty. Even the smaller shell ones. They were shucked perfectly and we had little to do but dress them up and slurp them ! Most are North Carolina oysters and they have a nice variety. Enjoyed this course very much! They also have a skewers menu with some meat, fish and veggie options. This was fun to pick out ... we tried the octopus and the special of the day was the swordfish so that sounded really good. These were also another hit on the palate. The octopus was cooked well and I feel like they gave us a little extra :)... swordfish was so good, had a citrus marinade and pickled onions and an avocado mousse. Nice flaky fish. Loved these skewers. We rounded it all off with the caramel cheesecake which was of course awesome. Creamy, great crust, solid slice, with a caramel drizzle and citrus and mint on top. Couldn't ask for a better end. Well except for those espresso martinis! The Station was a total surprise and one I shall be returning to . They have live music on Friday and Saturday, would recommend reservations those nights. You have to call sage and salt for reservations... it's a little confusing as there isn't really a website for The station. Great meal our first time. you definitely taste the freshness.
