When I came in it was Very loud with the microphone calling out. I stopped at the bar to order my food to go and the bartender had a hard time hearing my order and she was 2 feet from me. Like I said, Very loud. I ordered the Club Jax sandwich that came on Sourdough, I opted for the side of broccoli, and it came with their house pickels. This meal was So good! First, the sandwich was built fresh with a great selection of vegetables. The broccoli was outstanding, both tender with great seasoning, and the pickels were both crunchy and briny. Great menu selection, good prices, and fun atmosphere.

They have a variety of seating options, including some group-friend booths. On my last visit, I sat at the bar and ordered a flight of beer. Tony the bartender was very patient with my request for a flight of local beer with no IPAs or hoppy beers. He picked out: 2: Wrightsville Beach Orange Crush, 3. Waterline Kolsh, 4. Teaches Peaches, 1. Watermelon Dragon Fruit Burst. I was familiar with the first three and loved them. I jokingly refer to Wrightsville Beach Orange Crush as creamsicle beer. It isn't too sweet, but the Orange flavor is quite strong. The Waterline Kolsh is light and very easy to drink. The Teaches Peaches is one of my favorites due to its light fruity flavor. The Watermelon Dragon Fruit Burst was a wildcard in Tony's lineup. This sour was a refreshing way to mix up my beer tasting. My friend also got a flight and didn't like one of the beers he chose. Tony swapped it out for a different beer as soon as I told him and the new one was well-received. My favorite part of this visit was that Tony decided to bring me a sample of the 8. Firestone Walker Mind Haze, because it was a non-hoppy IPA and he thought I might like it. It wasn't my fave, but I really appreciated the opportunity to try something new. I snacked on free popcorn all during my visit. The popcorn machine is in the back. Also in the back are single-stall restrooms. Tavern Law has an A+ in my book because they have great local beer on tap and they are gay friendly.

We were greeted with a smile and seated in comfortable booth. The service was excellent! "Able" checked on us to make sure we had everything we needed. The kitchen was to right on task. Our apps and entrees came out promptly. The fish tacos and quesadillas are great choices. I chose the Amontillado Burger which cooked perfectly, tasty and satisfied my appetite. The fries are out of this world! Our guest had some mobility challenges, and we were pleased with how she was accommodated. We were catching up with a dear friend that we had not seen in a while. Able cleared the table when we were done eating and told us to take our time and that there was no rush. Poe's Tavern is a great place for lunch, dinner or just have a drink.

The inside is covered in dollar bills, so we wrote our names on it and stapled it on the ceiling. I think its funny how they give you a sharpie and a industrial stapler to do so. As far as service, they were nice, but the only service part is ordering your drinks. I would give my experience a 8/10.

The atmosphere of Copper Penny is the same. Definitely missed this place. After a short wait our food was brought out. Everything was delicious.

Only like 9 tables so plan accordingly or you will have to wait awhile. Go during off peak hours to ensure a short wait time. Now the food...... 1.

Very good and the fries as well. 3. Hot Roasted Pork Sandwich was very bland and had an excessive amount of spinach. Even the Au Jus couldn't rescue this sandwich. 4. The famous onion rings. Well they must of ran out of seasoning because these were more flour than flavor. Very doughy with no spices. Not worth the $9 * The alcohol mix drinks are pretty good. Definitely taste the flavor of each. Will give you a good kick.
