Update to below review:…read more I've been here 5 times now and have a better feel for things. They have games here too...things like Uno, trivia, battleship, trivia, jenga, etc. It's kid friendly during daytime hours and the occasional food truck is really great! It was rockin' last Friday night--musical Bingo followed by Kareoke w a food truck and great 80s 90s music playing w sports on the TV's. Everyone I meet is a parent or part of a family, so extremely friendly, and my sis's dog got to meet another dog even so it was just really amazing to see a neighborhood embrace this bisiness so quickly--obviously it was the missing piece. Even more of a reason for 5 stars! __________________ Cute new neighborhood bar. Dog water bowls inside and out, 3 big screens w sound wired to all inside, pool table, sofas, hightops bar seating....20+ beers on tap and a liquor menu focused on bourbons and some whiskeys and scotch--but they have a little of everything. Service was polite and speedy. Ambiance / atmosphere / vibe was clean w a little industrial vibe w the cool ceiling. Foid trucks rotate in regularly--this place is great and dog-friendly. I can't wait to see it grow as this is the 1st written review and I'm just visiting my sis who lives in the neighborhoid (I live in Richmond VA). 5 stars.

This isn't my first time visiting this place, and each time my impressions only get better. The…read moreatmosphere is always lively and friendly, and the variety of board games provide a pleasant way to spend time in company. During the day, it's comfortable for families, and evening events transform the space into a real entertainment center. Musical activities, karaoke, and the arrival of various food trucks add variety and make each visit special. People around are easy to talk to, and you can feel that the locals sincerely support this establishment. It's very nice to see how it's becoming part of the community. I'll be happy to come back again -- five stars without hesitation!

This is a hidden gem for Durham! Although it's not a new brewery (the first one is in Raleigh),…read moreit's new to Durham. It is tucked away and behind a restaurant. They have a large beer and mixed drinks offering. The service is top notch. When I went there with a friend, I asked about sitting outside and the GM lit a fire for us. She was super welcoming and accommodating! Thanks for a great evening!

It's been a while since I had Lonerider's beer and at one point it slipped my mind to write a…read morereview about it but then I realized there was still a review I haven't posted yet for the brewery and decided to rectify that oversight. We had three different beers from this brewery, one in which appears to be no longer in production. The discontinued one was a pale ale by the name of Peacemaker. It was refreshing and enjoyable to have. Flavor features with this beer are that typically seen with a pale ale which are hoppy, malty and sweet. The beer is very light bodied which is nice and very smooth. Unfortunate that it's out of production. The other two beers we had are still being made. One was Shotgun Betty which is a Hefeweizen. Not bad but sometimes I struggle with Hefes and the strong banana clove flavor which was the case here. It was good that it was light bodied like most Hefes are and smooth also. The final beer was the Sweet Josie Brown Ale which I think was my favorite. The sweet, malty and coffee flavors are very enjoyable and like the prior two beers a nice smooth body to this fine dark beer. I am glad I recalled this brewery experience as I felt it was important to post the beers we had and what we thought of them!

Looking for authentic Irish pub vibes in North Carolina? Trali Irish Pub absolutely delivers!…read more I had to order the Shepherd's Pie, and it did not disappoint. Rich, slow-cooked beef stew topped with a beautifully swirled layer of creamy mashed potatoes--it was the ultimate comfort food. To pair with it, I enjoyed "The First Squeeze," a refreshing wheat beer from a local North Carolina brewery that complemented the meal perfectly. I planned to skip dessert...but then I spotted the Baileys Cheesecake on the menu. Resistance was futile, and I'm so glad I gave in! It was the perfect sweet ending to a fantastic meal. With its warm, authentic Irish atmosphere, friendly staff, and delicious food, Trali Irish Pub is definitely worth a visit. Sláinte!

I needed a nosh before a meeting and who doesn't love an Irish Pub?…read more This was my first time visiting Trali and won't be my last. It was about 6pm and the dining room was about half full, but everyone seemed in good spirits and many were watching the World Cup. The hostess sat me at a table near the entrance and facing the bar, I had a book with me to catch up on and planned to read a bit. Within a few minutes, the server came around, showed me the beer list and asked if I wanted anything else. When she returned, she saw that I had a book and very attentively asked if I would like to be moved to a quieter table... yes please! She mentioned that a 16 top was due any minute and they'd be taking up the large bar top in the center of the room, and it'd probably get pretty loud. She then talked with the hostess, and they moved me into, the library, of all rooms... how apropos... It's literally adjacent to the open bar area, but walled off and with a definite library vibe. I was sat in a corner table and with perfect ambiance. Looking over the menu, I couldn't really decide on a dish, but I wanted something more traditional Irish. I finally chose the Boxty potatoes topped with corned beef and it was a perfect portion. Everything came out to the table quickly, perfectly hot, and portioned well. I loved the mix of flavors and textured from the baked mashed potato to the shredded corned beef, and finished every single bite. I finished two chapters of my book and was pleased to see another patron in that room also reading. All in all, a night well spent and will definitely return when I'm in the area.

Check in at the desk and receive a swipe card which you use to activate the spouts and pour your beverage. Whether you want a full pint or a few ounce taster, the control is all yours. We had nachos and wings which were good and service was friendly enough without being overly intrusive. They have a number of board games to play and we really enjoyed ourselves. I don't live in the area, but will return when I return. My only complaint was the stools which were rather uncomfortable. There was other seating in the building, but it was in use so uncomfortable stools it was.

Zymora (srry if that's incorrectly spelled girl :/) was a fantastic server. Extremely personable,…read moregave us great recommendations when we asked about drinks. Very friendly and made our experience worthwhile. When they were out of the cucumber for my drink she adequately notified me of the additional wait time and was very understanding of me canceling the drink and single handily made me want to return to the goat. Give this girl a raise tbh bc this was the best dining I've had in a while!

The only reason this doesn't give five stars is because the coffee service from Morning ritual for…read morethe goat is a little slow. Other than that, I highly recommend. Wanted to check out what Durham had to offer during my stay in Raleigh, so hopped over Line and came to this cute cafe! The residents living in the apartments that were built next to this place are pretty lucky! Our server told us that The Goat holds a lot of activities for them and the pool area is a nice place for residents and restaurant customers can hang out and play games. We got the biscuit flight. Perfectly buttery, fluffy on the inside, with ample crispy edges! The honey and berry dips were god, but the pimento cheese dip was out of this world! I like pimento but I'm not the biggest fan because everyone makes it differently. My pet peeve is a Mayo forward pimento. The Goat Pimento cheese seems to be made with cream cheese and I didn't taste any Mayo, so THIS is how I prefer my pimento cheese! I couldn't get enough of its savory goodness, then going for a honey or berry dips for that sweet salty sensation. The coffee service was annoying. Our server brought out the biscuits before the coffee, so I asked about it. About 3 minutes later a girl came with my husband's cappuccino and my coffee was in a glass filled to the brim with ice. I immediately said, wait I didn't order iced anything, I drink my coffee hot and she immediately snatched it and walked away without saying a word! That was a strange way to treat a customer who has not only been waiting for late coffee but when the coffee came it was all wrong! We were almost done with the biscuit flight by the time my Lavender Honey Mocha with Oat Milk HOT came out. I will say that it was a delicious cup, however! Worth the wait??? Well I ended up asking my server for a to go cup for the coffee. The last nail in the coffin of The Goat not getting that 5th star is getting a plastic to go cup for a cold drink. By this time I realize they were never gonna get it right. So I just pulled my warm coffee into that plastic cup, prayed the microplastics and toxins from the plastic cup would spare me this one time and kept it moving.

I've passed by this place a few times when heading to kickball and have been wanting to check it…read moreout so we stopped in to grab a beer today. There is a note on the door that masks are required when entering and when you are not at your table during COVID-19. I was a little turned off to see that the bartender was not wearing one though. You can choose a beer from the draft list or in the cooler section (there is a $1.50 corkage fee). If you want beer for home, there is a small selection to choose from. I wanted to sit outside since it was smaller inside. We got to watch planes pass by as they were arriving at RDU so that was exciting!

I have grabbed beers with friends before I dropped them off at the airport, sat outside and enjoyed chatting with folks and meeting new faces, or picked up my tablet and read a book while sipping some wine. If you're looking for a comfortable place to chill out, this is it!

If you like authentic German food and hard to find German Beers, this is not the place for you…read more It is less real German than Olive Garden is genuine Italian. The Pretzel Grilled Cheese is a nice idea, but it's a pretzel shaped breadstick. It doesn't have the crust and salt that a real pretzel has. Rizotto balls? Calamari? Pot Stickers? Gyro? Tacos? Cheesesteak? Not very German. The Schnitzel wasn't sauced (no Jager or Rahm sauce), it was dry and overcooked. The edges were burned. It's supposed to come with mashed potatoes but instead had fried potato chunks which, frankly, was the best part of either my or my wife's dinners. We don't feel any need to return, most of the menu can be gotten at any number of family, sports, or brewpub restaurants.

My review may not be your experience and it's entirely based off what I ordered and cost. There's no bang for your buck here. The plus: - Music was good (Gwen Stefani "Sweet Escape" had me vibing) - Atmosphere near the bar is perfect for feeling like you're not in an airport - Server was quick and efficient (tipped him well - Food was hot - Loves the pickled okra that came with my meal The minus: - Pricing is steep for handhelds and entrees - My fish filet handheld was filling but not $28 filling (it was small) - Fresh but lacked flavor - No place to plug in for charging My handheld might have honestly cost them $4 total (with fries). And it was small and lacked flavor. I know, I know ... it's the airport. Just not what I had expected. Still, decent atmosphere if that's what you're looking for.
