What a great welcome to Pinehurst - we stopped in our first afternoon and enjoyed a cold local beer and tasty wings at the bar. Rayne the bartender was welcoming and efficient and we enjoyed visiting with her! For my no sauce dry wing hubby to devour the Korean BBQ sauce we got on the side is saying something! read more

Our waiter Greg was awesome!! He was attentive and made recommendations that were great!! Will be back for sure

Have visited here on numerous occasions over the few months. Every meal I've had there has been great, including the fish n chips and burgers. Every bartender and server I've met has been friendly and attentive even while busy-service gets The crowd and ambiance is great from live music acts to big games shown. Highly recommend. And after reading some of the negative reviews, seems more like competitors and salty locals. read more

The ambience was that of a fun local bar with deep history in golf journalism. The menu offered a good variety of pub food, and prices were reasonable for both beverages and food. Service was very slow, though it appeared to be due to just one staff member handling our party of four. Other patrons told us not to judge the restaurant by the service we received that evening, but it's hard to shake how bad the experience was. It really colored the whole visit. read more

The service and ambiance are on point. I had the chicken salad that was fresh and had great flavor and the onion soup- which was rich and perfectly balanced with the bread and cheese! Our day was complete with the $9 mojitos with lots of choices and we started with Raspberry. Definitely stop by and enjoy the food, drinks, service and the overall old world vibe! read more

I'm updating my review with some rather disappointing news. This restaurant recently received as B 83 health score. That is an extremely bad score in the business. So I would be reluctant to eat there until the issues are resolved. Sorry. read more

Because I always want to kill a roach running across the bar. When I told the bartender to please cancel my food that I don't want to eat at a roach infested restaurant she never said anything. She just canceled and did nothing. The other lady I told how gross it was to find a roach and have them not even apologize or say they would handle the situation. Sounds like they have a pest problem they are okay with. Gross!! read more

I was in the area for work and I stopped to have a beer and a burger. I would like to say I'm a burger snob, but I was very impressed with the black and blue burger. read more

This joint is ALWAYS packed This joint is ALWAYS packed This last visit was by far one of the worst service experiences I've ever had. This dark attitude rude brusk waiter should be washing dishes in my opinion. He served spilled drinks and had to be hailed for some simple bar napkins, managed to got everyone orders mixed up, spilled luke warm soup on the table and had to be asked to please clean it up. He grunted under his breath his dislike of working a slow night. I doubt I'll return soon and will definitely demand a better server. The burgers we all ordered were prepare correctly but the server spoiled the evening with his flippant approach. Tall blond kid name Darren or Derrick. Also I always felt the place to be very noisy due to loads of Golfers. But last night, a third full, we could hear the Kitchen crew yelling at waitstaff for pickups. Luck to get a 10% tip!! read more

On a beautiful fall October Sunday, what's better than taking a drive to Pinehurst for their drinks special. Then are known for their specialty Mimosas'. Service is good and the food OK. My husband asked for a medium hamburger and got a well done. I was excited to order from their tempora menu, just to find out it was just deep fried stuff. I love tempora style shrimp, I only like deep fried shrimp. There is a difference. I was disappointed. All in All a good restaurant to ppl watch and enjoy time with my love. read more

This was pretty cute! The dining doesn't fit big parties and the boothes are small but it's a historic area so it's the original sizes for that original historic feel. read more

Great location and cool vibe inside. Outdoor seating is available too which is nice. Food is your average pub fare. Service was ok - not great. We aren't needy diners so was tough that we had to ask for our server twice (once to order and another to get our check). read more

LOVED the vibe of this bar. Bartender was great and the food was an 8/10. Enjoyed the shrimp tacos but the wonton chips were a bit bland. Great lunch spot and good place to listen to live music at night . read more

Came here at the end of the lunch rush.....waitress told us upfront they were understaffed and it might take a while to get our lunch....not a problem, especially when the expectation has been set for our party of three. But there were a few issues that we endured and my dining mates shared with the employees. First, one person ordered unsweet tea, she was served sweet tea. We were told the vats of tea were mislabeled. Ok, it can happen. Hot honey chicken sandwich had a bun that wasn't fresh....a soft depression of the crust prompted it to crack, plus it was dry. There was little effort with the presentation as well. I ordered the house made chips which were not made to order, but that was fine. They were served with a very small cup of ranch, Cobb salad was ok at best......she didn't want blue cheese in it, requested any other cheese they may have. It arrived with no cheese at all. The other diner ordered chicken salad on croissant. The bun wasn't fresh and dry. The filling was not chicken salad, but just shredded dry chicken. That went back. When the check came, after a long wait, that item was removed. But my dining mates expressed their dissatisfaction when the check was presented. The server told us she would just void out the whole thing., which she did. Our guess is that there were other issues which made this call for her easy. Overall the dining experience was subpar and will probably not return......which is too bad as it has "local joint" vibes. A prior good experience brought us back here today. read more

Wait time for food, if you're lucky enough to be seated, is unreasonable. Our wait time was 45 minutes on a Thursday evening. To say "vibrant" atmosphere would be an understatement. More like rowdy. Food is just average and a little pricy. After a few tries, this is definitely a "pass" for me and my guests. read more

It was average. Food was ok. I think the upside to this place is probably the fact that it's open late in a sleepy, tourist town.

4 beers on menu that they don't have. Then, menu says $2 domestic beers. Have a big party of people, so we order a lot of beers. Get a massive bill and then are told, we haven't updated the menu. Also, very rude staff from both servers. Don't spend your money here. read more

What a cool place! We had to wait a bit for a table and the service overall was meh but our food was good and the atmosphere, memorabilia and history made this a spot worth visiting. Would we go back the next time we're in Pinehurst? Probably. Could they offer better service? Absolutely. To finally be seated and then completely ignored until I went up to the host stand and asked if anyone was going to come to our table wasn't great. read more

Amazing service from Laura (bartender) and Astrid! Great selection from the food menu. Selection from behind the bar was on point. Broad array of bourbons to choose from. The place has a great vibe and charm in the village of Pinehurst. Will be back. read more

I really don't understand the high rating here. French Onion Soup 3 to 4 stars. Hamburger (giving extra credit for the fresh bun) 2 to 3 stars Service 4 to 5 stars Atmosphere 4 stars Great place for a drink and I hear they make a mean nachos app and a fried chicken sandwich that is superb. Based on my experience, I would not return for food but certainly for a drink ! read more

Great service. Beautiful English pub. Food was good and fairly priced. Located on a perfect spot.

There were 6 of us and we were lucky to get a seat at the bar. Our bartender was efficient and fun. She shared lots of great info about the area and had good recommendations of what to order. Food was delicious and enjoyed by all six of us! read more

The service was very good and our particular server was excellent. The place itself was very nice , rustic , Irish style pub and very busy. The dish I ordered "the Montecristo" was a creative dish but not what I had expected. Would try something else next time, I will be back! read more

My dad and I got carry out on a Saturday night. Food was piping hot. Staff friendly and helpful. Always love the warm and cozy ambiance. Lots of college football games on. My dad got fish and chips. I ordered the burger. No doubt both would've been better eating there. Everything was soggy. Recommend looking into different to go container containers. My burger was cooked to order just a little bit, disappointed that it tasted like it had been frozen. My dad's fish could have been cooked longer. Fries were soggy. Four stars in that it's a great place and I recommend just maybe not getting it for carry out read more

Stopped in for an eve drink one night last week. Sat at the bar and had a good gin martini. It was made well - nice and cold. Unfortunately, they don't do bleu cheese olives, so just settled for what they had (out of a big jar) - they were just ok, not great. The bartender was excellent - attentive and nice. The bar was still decorated from Christmas so it had a festive vibe. On the way out I grabbed a sandwich to go - called a Henny Penny - which was quite good. Overall, it was a solid experience. I'll go back. read more

Delicious food and friendly pub! It was our first time at this local favored destination. Not too noisy but a great place for a small group of friends to gather. I had the pimento cheese and green tomato burger, just because it sounds so unique and southern. It was a well seasoned burger and was dripping with cheese. Must try! My wife loved her shrimp tacos and the Cobb salad was huge! Love to come back soon. read more

I would have recommended this business. It was one of my favorite go to places for a nice dinner and great experience. We always took our out of town guests here. But the Health reports being consistently in the 80's and now 83 as of March 2026. We will not be going back or recommending it to friends and neighbors until we see a change in the rating to the 90's at least. So sorry one of my favorite places to get the best burger. read more

Gave it another shot and a different bartender poured me this. It's such a cool spot and I find it hard to believe that this is up to the standards of the place read more

Was in last week and the best thing about the Drum & Quill is Rayne. Great cocktails! It is also good to note that it is open late in the Village. read more

Great lunch venue. Nice menu. Good offerings. A definite go to spot. Mid-week lunch time was easy in and great service.

If you're anywhere within breathing distance of this place and don't stop in, you need to seriously rethink your life choices. First of all, let's talk about Astrid -- the bartender you didn't know you needed, but now can't imagine living without. Astrid isn't just serving drinks; she's serving therapy, stand-up comedy, and good life advice all shaken (not stirred) into a perfect cocktail. Her drink recommendations? Flawless. Her banter? Sharper than a chef's knife. Her vibe? Think "cool older cousin who knows all the good secrets" mixed with "person you'd absolutely follow into battle." The drinks were top-tier, the food was the kind of good that makes you instinctively close your eyes after the first bite, and the atmosphere made me seriously consider quitting my job to become a full-time barfly here. Bottom line: if Astrid's behind the bar, you're in for a 5-star night whether you like it or not. Tip generously -- she's worth it. read more

Just got home from a weekend trip to Pinehurst. Had to leave a note on this pub. Stopped in to watch the end of the Arnold Palmer Invitational and was told owner mandated meaningless regular season NBA game on TVs. That and the music, again the owners choice, reminded me of being on hold with my Drs. office. Again, staff on site was very friendly and attentive but if they are restricted from meeting customers wishes, I can't recommend visiting this establishment. read more

The waiters/waitresses were very quick and super nice. The place itself is also very nice and relaxing. The food is also amazing, I love the french fries personally. I came on a Monday so it wasn't as busy so reading the other reviews, your experience might be different depending on when you come but everything is amazing here. read more
