    Yummy blueberry mojito mocktail!
    Amy E.

    We went with some friends to Music Bingo. We've been a couple of times before and it's really fun! To be a bar, I think their food is good! I had the $10 Bingo burger w fries and couldn't eat it all! It tasted great, though. I'm not a drinker, but I love a good mocktail. The bartender made me the yummiest blueberry mojito mocktail - she said it's a favorite with the pregnant women that come there. Music Bingo nights typically consist of four fun games of bingo, with prizes for the winner of each one (typically some brewery merch), and a grand prize given away to the person with the most points at the end of the month. This month's big prize is a paddle board! We've also been to a couple of concerts here. They have great bands, but as a non-drinking middle aged married woman, I feel a little out of place. :) Still a fun place, though!

    The tribute band that did Alice In Chain cover songs. Very talented band.

    Went here last nite to check out three tribute bands. The music was mixed well in my opinion. The two bands I watched were outside. The bar had a good amount of craft beers on tap and the bartender was wonderful. I heard the food there is good but we had eaten prior so we didn't try any. Maybe next visit .

    "Where are all the people?" I asked the bartender as soon as I walked in. He said lunchtime was hit and miss. I was here once at night with a friend from the gym for drinks and it was cool. Beer, music, and conversation: How could you go wrong? But lunchtime was a different experience. I was literally the only person eating lunch. This is often a bad sign. I ordered 8 wings for $8 (important point) and fries. I received 10 boneless wings. I didn't know why there were 10 wings but I didn't complain. I figured it was a generous gesture since I was the only one there. When I received the bill, the bartender said, "They changed the menu. Sorry about that." I was charged $10 instead of $8. I don't care about $2 from a financial perspective, but you can't charge people for something they didn't order that wasn't even on the menu. And it didn't say anything about boneless wings on the menu, which made me feel like I was eating lunch at an elementary school cafeteria. I learned they changed the menu two weeks earlier (without telling customers). It seems like they're attempting to cut costs while sacrificing quality because the wings were bland and the fries were average. I could also tell the culture here was poor. It was awkward and I couldn't wait to leave. I didn't finish my meal or my beer. On top of that, someone in a serving role sneezes into their hand. Sneeze into your shoulder, people! A freaking mess. A very generous rating and only for two reasons. One, an employee held the door for me on the way out. Two, most people go here for drinks, music, and atmosphere at night (not food). They can deliver on that. For food, go to Cowboy one block away. You will be much happier.

    Fun place to listen to live music and catch a drink with friends or enjoy a date night. Fairly close to the interstate and ample parking. Came here to listen to live music. Was able to order bar like food ( think burger, chicken tenders, fries etc). Plenty of drink options, both alcoholic and non alcoholic drinks. Plenty of community tables and pub tables.

    St Patrick's Day was a blast. Best DJ ever DJ Jay Wheelz. We will definitely be back as long as he is there.

    Grilled chicken with goat cheese and sweet potato fries!

    I wanted to LOVE this place. I really did. The good..... It's just around the corner from one of our tournament fields, it has a play ground for the kids, and they don't seem to mind a gang of rambunctious, dirty, nine year old ball players and their parents. The food, for what it was (and what we got), was above average. My grilled chicken and goat cheese sandwich was well prepared and tasty. My sweet potato fries were crispy and seasoned perfectly. The kids pizza was very inviting and they seemed to love it. The bad..... We told them when we arrived that we had a game in one hour and 30 minutes. with the field being less than three minutes away and the menu housing mostly simple sandwiches and pizza, we didn't think it would be a problem and they assured us it would not be. It took nearly 15 minutes to get drinks and our orders weren't taken until after. My husband's order was never put in so after waiting 45 minutes he ate the kids left over pizza as we didn't have time to wait. Our waiter was in training, or at least I think/hope so and received little to no help for a larger table. Refills were sporadic, if at all. By the time we got our food we had to rush through. Then, even knowing we were rushed when we asked for the tickets it seems that no one was in any hurry to get them back to us. I hear it's a great place for entertainment at nights but I'm not sure I will trust it to return if I do not have the time to wait. Looking at the reviews service has been, and continues to be, an issue. Again, pretty good food and relaxed atmosphere if you're willing to over look the service. Hopefully I can update la

    Alex our waiter was great this Monday evening (10/14). He is very friendly, professional, and attentive. Came here to visit friends that live here with their daughter. This place has a playground and boats kid can play on. There is an outdoor bar and stage outside. Nice outdoor eating and covered patio. Indoor bar. This place hasn't been open on Mondays, but as of a month ago it's been open on Mondays. So those who want to watch Monday night football, this is the place to be with indoor TVs. Drinks are pretty good as well! Cocktails and beer. Tuesday's kids eat free at 3pm. Monday night 0.75 cent wings.

    Sandwich (cheeseburger) w/two sides (fries, side salad), kids chicken tender meal and signature (brisket) w/two sides (fries, onion rings).

The place looks like a pub, inside and out, with a huge patio in the rear. All the workers we encountered were really polite and personable. It was very clean inside, even the bathrooms. We pretty much knew what we wanted but enjoyed looking at the menu anyway. Started off with a 20 oz Black & Tan and a 16 oz Harps. So good. My husband had the Fish and Chips. Perfect fry, thick and flaky fish, served with a side of malt vinegar and tartar sauce. The slaw was crisp and savory and the fries crisp. He loved every bite. I had the Bangers and Mash. The sausage was tender with a delicious onion gravy. Some veggies were included (green beans, cauliflower and carrot). The mash itself was creamy and chunky, just the way I love it. Complete comfort food. We ended the meal by splitting a dish of Sticky Toffee Pudding. It was sweet and savoury, with a hint of salt to balance, topped with vanilla ice cream and more toffee sauce. (I haven't had a Sticky Toffee Pudding since I was a child and this was such a delicious treat to share.) The whole experience was exceptional and we cannot wait to go back.

    Excellent, friendly service and good food!…read more We called ahead on our way from a hockey game downtown and were told the wait was around 30 minutes. They, very kindly, offered to put us on the list while we were in-route! We arrived and were seated within minutes. Very cool of them to do that! Our waiter was very patient, friendly and explained the specials and menu items in detail. He made the dining a positive experience for sure! Potato bites were good. Whatever the shmear underneath was it could use some more of that! Bangers and mash were meh. Bland mash, overcooked bangers and not enough gravy. I was provided some extra gravy though. Fish and Chips were a big hit! Perfect cook and the batter was light, crisp and stuck to the fish well! Tartar was great. Slaw was on the boring side but unnecessary in the end. Everyone was friendly, a band was playing, the lights were dim, drinks were cold and the fish is good. If you live in the area I highly recommend checking it out!

    Community theatre is the heart of downtown Concord is full of charm, local talent and so much fun!…read moreI have attended quite a few plays, but this time we took in "A Time to Kill" and it was a delight! The quaint theatre boasts beautiful stained glass windows and comfy seats and the cozy community theatre vibe where no seat in the house is a bad one. We were on the front row center this time and loved it! The actors in this production were spot on and I loved the OCT adaption of the book/movie. The comedic moments had us laughing, but the serious moments were quite powerful in this intimate setting, and even though I knew the story, found myself leaning towards the stage waiting to see what was next! Visit the website for upcoming plays and patronize this precious hometown gem, you won't be disappointed! There is local artwork for sale in the lobby and light refreshments offered as well for reasonable prices. For every play I've attended at least part of the cast is mingling with the patrons following the play and I just adore that! So fun to chat with them and share your thoughts about that night's production. I can't wait to go back soon...seriously - check it out! It's not fancy but full of charm, not pricey but well worth the ticket price and not broadway, but an awesome way to spend a couple of hours and support local actors and musicians - what more can you ask for?

Welcome to the Serve, the Cornelius answer to how to be active while enjoying good times with friends. Reserve one of their 10 pickleball court in their air conditioned room or grab one outside when it's not hot. There are also golf simulators, dining space, and event space so bring the whole crew to have fun and hang out. The courts are spaced out so groups can play and have a comfortable booth to sit and order food. Their bartender Krista was very engaging and happy to suggest a beverage with your favorite libation. We ate in the restaurant. My son enjoyed the kids chicken tenders. My wife and I enjoyed the short ribs grilled cheese and the bbq chicken pizza. There's a full breakfast and lunch menu and breakfast is available till 2 on Saturday so you have a variety of options to order. If you want to hang out as a family or with friends you'll have a great time at The Serve.

This was our first time here, and it's a very nice venue. To start, their coffee is delicious and strong. I had the Double Up, with scrambled eggs (with added cheddar), bacon, sausage links, sourdough toast, and fruit. My husband had the Short Rib Hash with a side of potatoes. He forgot the hash also had potatoes, and should have gotten something else, because he had far too many potatoes! My scrambled eggs were a little over cooked and the cheese was only melted on top (rather than being mixed in), but they were still decent. The bacon was perfectly crispy--as requested, and the sausage links were fine. The sourdough toast was buttered and delicious. And the fruit had watermelon--a nice addition to the usual fruit cup. My husband's short rib hash was good. The eggs were perfectly medium, but the potatoes were a bit salty. Easy Like Sunday still makes our favorite version of this dish. Our server was very pleasant, and the wait wasn't too long for our food. I loved that we could pay with ApplePay via the Toast handheld. While everything wasn't perfect, we'll definitely return and try some different items. I want to try them for dinner, too!
