    What a wonderful find! The restaurant is a brewery and distillery. It looks like a humble sports bar, but the menu is extensive. Their specialty is a smoked meat loaf—outstanding. And my salmon served with asparagus and orzo prepared with sun dried tomatoes and artichokes could have been served at any five star restaurant. We will be back!

    This is truly a gem in North Asheville. They have a varied menu, from sandwiches to steak.,On Thursdays, they have all-you-can eat mussels. They delicious, as were the sides we ordered. The brussel sprouts went well with them. They have a nice assortment of beers and cocktails, making some of their own beers and spirits. Finally, the service was excellent. We were seated properly on arrival, and our server, Christine, was very personable and attentive.

    What a hidden gem! We found this neighborhood restaurant by luck. We started with the famous rye knots with the dipping sauces, it was perfect while we decided on entrees. My husband decided on the smoked meatloaf and I had the fish sandwich. While my husband enjoyed his dinner , he was jealous over my crispy battered fillet and tallow fries! We ended the meal with an amazing bread pudding! Until next time!

    service was great; only one slight mar - asked for a substitution and was not told there was a hefty add on. Other than that a great neighborhood restaurant.

    The location and outside appearance of the space is bit uninviting BUT once inside ... it transforms. Very nicely put together. I suspect a great place to watch a game on a saturday or sunday. Food very good! Service excellent. And, Bob -- who I suspect is the owner -- was very fun to chat with. Do not pass this place by.

    We had the Mussels, fried artichokes, side salad, shaved ribeye sandwich, buffalo shrimp, and fish and chips. Everyone really enjoyed everything. My husband still talks about the buffalo shrimp because they are gluten free. Friendly, prompt service. Nice solo guitarist played in the background.
