There wasn't live entertainment, just karaoke, which is offered in many places downtown for no cover. It was also not posted which, from my experience in Atlanta, they always post that there is a cover outside. Just feels scummy. It's a very average bar that offers literally nothing special. There is no great view, the service is the same as any bar, it doesn't even have a nice decor; there is no reason to be charging an entrance fee. Enjoyed the visit but will not return.

We moved on to the Filet for dinner and it was well prepared; not an amazing filet (not as tender as I have had) but a good steak for the money. During our time we enjoyed a few cocktails that is one of the highlights of their establishment. We got there before live music started. Upstairs they had quite a line dancing event going on and we heard the stomping above us. There were a lot of folks there for line dancing, then, later, for the live music. Our waitress was good and checked on us often. Nothing but positive things to say about the overall experience.

The drinks are equally impressive, with a well-curated cocktail list and bartenders who clearly know their craft. What really sets The Reserve apart is the atmosphere. It's stylish without being pretentious, lively without being overwhelming, and always welcoming.

It combines quality, energy, and service in a way few places can.

Hot dogs can be purchased as well. I recommend the slushies but the vodka used should be upgraded as it left me with a headache & I didn't over imbibe. It's definitely got a vibe all its own & I loved it but won't be everyone's cup of tea;) & that's part of its charm. Fancy & the gentleman were the band & they were stellar so I'll definitely be back. Limited parking as the evening goes on.

The Magnolia Room is an upscale cocktail bar conveniently located on the first floor of the…read moreFairfield Inn in downtown Morganton. The decor inside is nice, with magnolia wood tables that give the space a sophisticated yet cozy feel. A sign posted said that the bar is not owned or operated by the hotel, so you cannot bill your drinks directly to your room tab. Additionally, they serve beverages only, so don't expect any food, appetizers, or light snacks. You will want to eat before you arrive or after. For drinks, they offer a standard selection of beer, wine, and cocktails. While they don't have mocktails explicitly listed on the drink menu, the friendly bartender offered to mix up a non-alcoholic version of their popular "Front Porch Swing" cocktail for me. It was a beautiful, blueberry-flavored mocktail that tasted fantastic. My only real concern is that the space was exceptionally quiet, with only three customers total on a Friday night, which makes me wonder how much regular business they get. However, if you are staying at the hotel and want a beautiful, quiet spot for a premium drink, it is absolutely worth popping in.

Things seemed moderately busy at the Cardinal on the Sunday evening when I stopped by. There's not…read morea ton of parking, by the way, given the restaurant's roadside location. But I wiggled my vehicle into a tight spot and went in for a burger and a beer. I believe there were about 10 to 12 options available on tap, and I went with what was listed as an Irish stout from somewhere in the Northeast. It wasn't bad, though it seemed more like an imperial stout. My sandwich choice was the Cowboy, with ground elk at its core. It was a good choice too, and the accompanying fried onions and melted cheese complemented the meat well. I ordered the burger medium, but I think I'd go for medium rare if I could go back in time. The medium option wasn't bad, but I think a little less heat and a little more moisture would only make things better. I kept things simple with the side item, going for the fries which were of the thinly sliced McDonald's variety, not bad but nothing remarkable. The server covering my table was pleasant and prompt, though soft spoken so I occasionally had to ask her to repeat herself amidst the music and noise. I wouldn't call any of these selections a bargain, but the prices didn't veer too far from what you'll find in many burger joints. All in all, not an earthshaking experience, but a place I'd be willing to go back to. 3.5 stars.

Fantastic food choices the Reuben and spicy chicken sandwiches get my highest recommendation. They offer a great number of mixed drinks made with their craft distilled spirits. Several Sunday football games were on the TVs in the cafe. The mood was festive in the cafe. Tennessee Hills has a new location in Bristol too! We will be back again and again!

The vibe, the food, the service - all of it was perfection.

DO NOT SKIP the hand pie, I don't care what it contains as it changes daily. Try everything and go hungry! I'm still thinking about that meal and trying to decide if it's crazy to drive all the way back to Johnson City from Nashville just to eat there again soon.

Great thought and time was put into the flavor profiles and presentation of these drinks. The glasses, ice, garnish - all on point. Superior! We ordered 5 different drinks. One was called Girl Dinner which was fabulous. Also had an Old Fashion, Manhattan, and a cognac/mead drink that I can't remember the name. All were tasty. Well executed. Flavor profiles were great. We did order the dip smaller and boy was that tasty too. The feta dip was amazing. The pitas were warm and nice crusty bread for dipping. The price is beyond reasonable for the portion and quality. We would have stayed all day here if we could. This place is awesome. Highly recommend. Once you go, you will be back. You will also sing like a canary (or pigeon) to let everyone know.
