It was karaoke night so they were testing the music, also didn't mind that at all. Outr server Brandy was extremely cool and helpful. 2 other bartenders came in while we were there, really nice ladies as well. I got the sliders and Hibiscus Margarita. Tasty and priced right. Clean, spacious, even the bathroom smelled nice, not the typical downtown bar smell. I'll definitely be back before the summer is over.

You can eat indoors or outside. We opted for indoors on this day. We were greeted right away and got a cute table for 2. Our server Josh took great care of us. He had our ice cold beers on our table in no time. He recommended the sampler as an appetizer and it came out nice and hot. I ordered the Slim Jimmy with fries. My husband ordered off of the specials menu and it was a Russian Reuben. Everything came out delicious! It's a nice cozy place and we would love to return. Josh did a great job. Very friendly and efficient. Give it a try!

So this was given to me as an option for a meet up and I took it because I wanted something with a…read morepatio on it. The patio situation there was pretty nice. It had some couch-like seats there so you can definitely stretch out and it had quite a few of them, three or four different sections there. You could actually fit a lot of people there. If you want to come with a nice-ass group, this would definitely be your spot. I can see this being the thing that corporate companies would come and do their happy hour or after-work situations because you can fit a lot of people here . You have to find parking on your own. There's street parking and there's probably lot parking elsewhere or you can just park somewhere and walk around downtown. Either way it goes, there's no dedicated parking to this place but you can find parking somewhere. Street parking isn't that expensive as long as you can find it . You have to come through the main building to get to the restaurant so just keep that in mind. If the front door is locked then you have to go around to the side but you will see the social bruise sign there so you know you are in the right spot . The staff there was actually a lot of fun. I actually ended up taking over the entire bar with my friends so we all had a ball and had a good time. They actually laughed and joked with us and everything was cool . Fries - the fries are good and very well seasoned and came out super crispy. They came out right when they were hot so I got them at the right time Bang bang shrimp - the Bang Bang Shrimp were something I would actually get again. They came out heavily sauced and fried to perfection. The order you got for the happy hour was pretty good so you wouldn't have to worry about only getting like 4 or 5 shrimp. They had plenty on that plate Wings - the wings were nothing major or nothing special. They were actually super small so that really didn't help but they kinda had some good taste to them. It was nothing to write home about at all. I probably wouldn't get the wings again. I got the Carolina Gold wings and they didn't really taste like Carolina Gold. I'm not sure what they taste like but they had a hint of sweet to them so that was alright. For what you're getting as far as paying for them they were very small Caesar salad - Caesar salad actually came in a decent-sized bowl so that was good. It was a smaller bowl but it was deep so it had plenty of size to it versus if you had a large plate of it. It was for the happy hour menu so it's not like you needed a double-wide salad bowl for it but it was still pretty good. It didn't come with any protein on it but nonetheless it had a really good base to it as far as the cheese and the croutons and the lettuce. No complaints there Chicken dumplings - the dumplings were all right. They have vegetable and chicken but of course I'm not gonna get the vegetable if I can get the chicken. The chicken dumplings are okay. They taste like they were air fried or like it wasn't like it was homemade or anything like that but they were still decent. They came out a little too well done but they still had the flavor to them. You can definitely taste the flavor and kick with the chicken. I would get them before I got the wings game probably Overall this is a really good spot. You have plenty of space to do whatever you wanna do as far as indoor/outdoor. You also have a lot of beer options and they actually have a couple of non-alcoholic beers and some wine options as well so you can pretty much get whatever you want there for the most part. Of course it's a full bar so that actually helped as well. On top of that the food was actually pretty decent. I would definitely come back here and if you wanna do a large group here it'd make total sense because you can actually move around here. The patio is right at Cobble Hall, right across the street, so it's a really decent view overall. It's not like it's a rooftop but it's still a very good vibe. I would 100% come back

The service was very quick, the staff was nice, and the whole place had an easygoing sports bar energy that made settling in quite simple. They also have a lot of TVs, which made it easy to keep an eye on various games while waiting for first pitch. The food did its part very nicely as well. There were some great bar bites to choose from, and the wings and chicken tenders were both a very good decision. Add in the great prices and the efficient service, and the whole thing felt like a proper pregame success. Overall, a lively, reliable stop and one I would happily make again.
