Love this place! Great menu and we love the charcuterie boards. Excellent beer and wine plus little cups of gummy bears. A definite must try if you haven’t been

What a great little place! Never knew it was there. We went on a midday break. Awesome. Even put on some football (soccer to Americans) for me to watch. I order the pretzels and pastrami on rye. Both so good. My beer I found out was created in collab with the owner and a local brewery. Just nice and crisp. Perfect. Will go back as they rotate their beer menu.

Very cool place I just happened to stumble upon. Low key local place with light bar foods and a good selection of beer. Lots of indoor and outdoor seating.

Amberly local is exactly what a local pub should be. Personal, an ever-rotating lineup of outstanding beers, and delicious snacks and sandwiches to make a good long stay of your visit. While not designed for kids, it is kid friendly (as long as parents are watchful). There's prosecco on tap, house wines, and special wines on tap. The charcuterie boards are delicious, but my favorites are the hot ham and cheese sandwich and the roast beef sandwich that has a delicious horseradish sauce. The reality is that a place like this could have great food and drinks, but if the atmosphere was stiff, it wouldn't fly. Fortunately, the family and close friends who run it could not be more welcoming. After a few visits they'll likely great you by name, remember your favorite drink or sandwich, and spend time with you asking how you've been. A local neighbor. It can get fairly busy on Friday and and Saturday evenings starting around 5:30 (closed all day on Sunday, at least as of February 2020). I suggest stopping by on a Saturday afternoon for your first visit to get a feel for the vibe. You'll more than likely quickly decide to plan your next visit with more friends!

First time here tonight to watch the NC State game, and we will definitely be back! Fast, excellent service here. Shout out to Tomas who checked in with us regularly- very friendly and welcoming. Restaurant was very clean- tables were cleaned immediately. Amazing beer selection- great variety of local NC beers. Food was great- I enjoyed the chicken Caesar salad, and my husband enjoyed the Italian sandwich. Only feedback is that my husband would have liked the option to have sandwich toasted. Overall- 5 stars, will definitely return. Thanks!

Cool local place for craft beers on tap. Menu is limited, but has enough to feed you and your crew. They also have wine and canned/bottled drinks!
