The drinks were so good and the fries were just what I needed at that moment. Our bartender was really cool and helped me decide on a mixed drink. I liked the decor and the vibe. I thought the restaurant out front was cute too. It had a 50s vibe with its decor. The Apothecary is not a big space, but you felt like you were the only ones there while enjoying your drinks. It was a fun night and I'd go back.

I visited Names and Faces on a Thursday after wrapping up some business at the FedEx next door. A…read morehelpful worker there recommended the spot, though she warned me to order quickly since they stop serving food at 3 p.m. before reopening the kitchen for the evening crowd. I arrived around 2:10 p.m. and was greeted warmly by Valerie, the bartender, who was very friendly and knowledgeable about the menu. Tired of the usual fried chicken and fish options that dominate Mississippi, I asked for a recommendation. She suggested the BLT with grilled chicken and fries, which I happily ordered. Though there was a small crowd, everyone was kind, and I never felt rushed. Valerie checked in on me during my meal, ensuring everything was to my liking. I paired the sandwich with a beer, and the chicken was tender and juicy, making the sandwich quite filling. I finished my meal a bit after 3 p.m., and no one made me feel uncomfortable about the time. I've heard their happy hour on Wednesdays is pretty good, so I plan to come back then while I'm still in town to check it out. I'll update my review afterward!

Open after hours, The Walk In serves up cocktails, mocktails, wine, beer with or without the booze, and light bites. We ordered a Pupu Platter and I got a mocktail. The Pupu platter came with eggrolls, shrimp over rice, wontons, bulgogi skewers w/ peanut sauce and sliced beef. Portion was perfect for two people. The platter has a fire pit in the middle in case you want your beef cooked a little longer. I love this - one because it looks cool, but also when people like their meat different temperatures. This did get a little smoky after a while though. Drinks were cool. I love that they have so many mocktail /non booze beer and wine options along with the regular menu. My drink was okay, a little vinegary, but not bad. Overall, I love the vibe of The Walk In and the Pupu Platter was a great choice!

I mean there were a lot of people with "x's" on their hand. They were charging a $5 cover and there were not a lot of people there outside of the people at a party in a private area on the side of place. It shares a building with another bar/restaurant called the 4th and Goal Sports Cafe. They have a huge parking lot that it shares with the other businesses located in the strip mall that it is in. It is a dimly lit joint that has 2 pool tables, a bar in the back, an indoor deck above the bar that you can rent out, a huge dance floor/open space with a few tables and chairs set up around it. There is also a stage and screens with television programming projected on them. For some reason they had hockey playing on them while I was there. They had a DJ playing all the hot hits. That was the best part of the night club by far. All and all, I was not very impressed and found myself yawning and saw many people leaving after only a few minutes of coming in. I was in bed by 11. I thought Saturday's were its best night, but I could be wrong.

Issues: up charge for switching to the portobello fries (awesome). Same price as regular fries so I m uncertain why there was an up-charge? I hate places that nickel and dime you. The ambiance is why i gave 4 stars. 1 star for up charge. Service from bartender made up the difference. Someone needs to manage the kitchen better! So much ambiance. Oddly, none of the staff really knew/ate the food which is why i got the burger- i am not a burger person, but that is pretty much all they knew. Feed your people the food!!
