We had never been to Hugger Mugger Brewing until their anniversary party/renaissance festival this…read moreyear. It was amazing! I was super impressed by everything about the brewery and so wish it was closer to me so we could hang out there all the time. The place was absolutely beautiful. I loved their wooden beer signs and their outdoor tables. The space was huge and a great place for fun events. I loved their telephone booth selfie booth! They had food trucks on site and a great outdoor space. I really loved seeing so many dogs there! The event itself was absolutely incredible!! It was so cool seeing people dressed in full armor! I loved seeing the birds too. There were people dressed in costume who sent us on a bit of a scavenger hunt. We so enjoyed meeting the different costumed actors and being sent around to look for specific characters! A lot of thought and planning went into this event and we so appreciate the experience. Their beers were AMAZING!! We tried three different beers and loved them all. My favorite was the Spice Ghouls. I don't think you can go wrong with any of their beers. All of the staff members we interacted with were super nice. They were all working so hard to make the beer lines move fast. I love the cups!They had people pay $1 for the cup and then use it for each beer. I love that because it cut back on waste! I'm looking forward to next year. Hugger Mugger gave me a real sense of community. What a great place! I'll definitely visit again before their next anniversary.

Our amazing bartnder, an antique junkie herself, was super cool. She talked us through the beers on tap, shared what the regulars loved most, and without hesitating, poured us tastes so we could discover our own favorites. If we're back in Sanford (and hoping we will soon) we'll for sure be back at Hugger Mugger.

Long post incoming: this is mostly for the crew…read more Giving this place 3 stars based on my average experience overall ever since I moved to the neighborhood over two years ago. I pop in about twice a month as my schedule allows. Vet trying to support a vet business and all. I'll lead by saying I spent years in the bar industry, including three years as a bar manager in a mildly large city, so I will be objective here as I know what ratings on Yelp can do. Beer: It's good and it is made with care. Not all styles meet their expected flavor profiles, but Static Line does well swapping out selections and trying new things. It's a young brewery so I commend it. That being said, I have only drank and served beer, I have zero experience as a brewer. All in all, I like to drink at their establishment. Also, the swag is on point...well done. Environment: Small but welcoming. They do a fine job of trying out different events and often have a food truck present, sometimes music too. Owners are usually present and say hello. Dogs are wonderful door greeters. Other dogs are also welcome. Facilities are very clean and comfortable. Staff: I'm going to struggle here. I have met some very engaging, good vibe bartenders at this spot. And I have met some that just seem to wish there were anywhere else. Presence is key in the service industry. And that does not just mean a bartender is "behind the bar." I have definitely received the "piss off" attitude before as soon as I arrive and have never given a reason (to my knowledge)...but I did recently push back and I think after two years of visiting it was justified. Never met anyone who simply brews beer at this place so I can't rate them. I'm sure it's probably done during the closed daytime hours. Speaking of hours... Hours: I have mixed feelings on this as well. Closed M-T. That's cool, these are non-busy days and brewers need to grind and who likes unnecessary overhead. Fully support it. Open on W-Sun. The open days' hours are sporadic to only be serving five days a week. The last 5-6 times I visited, there were very few people present at what I would consider peak hours. I would recommend adjusting. The clientele: Point blank, there's a lot of pissed off washouts showing up to this place more recently and they have stares, attitudes, and a sense of authority that I despise. There I said it. The staff appear to love them and that's fine. They show up regularly and you have to support your regulars...but only to an extent. If your handful of daily people are all that matter, go open a garage bar. If you're a customer, mind your stool, mind your words, and mind your business if you really want to support this place. If you're a bartender and you see your regulars trying to check people at the door, intimidate, or act like they work there, then either correct them or hire them if that's the business you want to run. A quality bar has three bench marks: making it the first 6 months, then the first two years, then the five year mark. Static Line has potential, but please stop thinking you have somehow "made it" yet because the competition is minimal. My family, my friends, my coworkers, and myself will be putting this place in a time out for a while due to recent (and recurring) unsatisfactory decisions from the staff and what they allow from their regs. I hope this place does well but I'd be surprised to see it open another 18 months, because it's sinking as a hangout spot. I've seen it happen time and again. Good luck.

We came here to see a band we really enjoy and they were great! We hadn't been to S&B before and it…read morewas quite the drive to get there. Even tho we planned to arrive well before the band would start playing to have dinner, we were lucky to find a parking place, let alone a table. The interior inside is really lovely. The staff is terrific and the food was very good. I had the pastrami Ruben with the tomato & cucumber salad. Both were very tasty. My spouse had a BLT and a salad which she enjoyed. For dessert we shared the butter toffee bundt cake that has a caramel glaze and is topped with a small scoop of local ice cream. It was absolutely incredible!! We wanted to order another, it was so good! If we're in the area sometime I'd like to stop in for lunch and that mouth watering bundt cake. I would hesitate to come back in the evening, only because as the night went on there were some patrons so drunk that the atmosphere started feeling really amped up in a concerning way, like a fight was about to break out at any moment. It's not a big place inside so it could quickly get out of hand. I can say when something like that happens anywhere, it's not a situation to find yourself in as an innocent bystander. Had it not been for that element it would have been a really enjoyable night out, but alcohol and aholes don't mix well together. I'm still going to rate it high for the delicious food, friendly and attentive service, the beautiful interior, and the great music.

My husband and I visited on a Saturday in November around 2:30-3pm. It was busy but not crowded,…read morethere was plenty of parking and lots of open tables inside and picnic tables outside to sit at. We sat outside because it was a beautiful day, especially for November. We first heard about the cider when we visited their booth at the state fair and had a sample of one of their ciders. We were told they were available in the Raleigh area at Whole Foods but when we went to Whole Foods there was only 1 bottle of 1 variety there. We decided we would just take the hour drive down to the actual cider house and then we'd get to try them all and have a huge assortment to choose from. This was not the case though and I have to say we were very disappointed. Very few of the varieties available on their website are available at the cider house. The bartender said some of them were seasonal but then why not update the website? They actually only had 10 varieties available on tap and unfortunately only 5 of those were ones we had picked out from the website. We are big bourbon fans and go around to a lot of the bourbon distilleries so I do understand that 10 varieties IS actually a lot, especially considering a small distillery would not have anywhere near that many varieties. I just wish our expectations hadn't exceeded the actual visit. The flights were really fun to taste, we got 2 flights so we each got to taste 8 of the varieties and we picked 4 out from those 10 that we liked. But then we also wanted to buy a bottle of each of the ones we liked for Thanksgiving and only 3 were available....

We even brought home some local peaches which is fun. The worker gave even gave me a pour tour book so I can get to know the local nearby breweries. Can't wait to go back. Upon reading into them I love them even more. Their values are on par with my families which I appreciate especially in this area. Kudos!

Veteran owned & managed - great people!…read more I've been here no less than a dozen times (what took me so long to post a review???) - I personally am not a beer person, but I've ever heard anyone find a beer they didn't like here. For non-beer drinkers, they do have cocktails & sangrias. I recently had the cherry limeade cocktail- I hope it stays on the menu. They've started providing food - yum!!!!! We had the pizza, pretzel w/ cheese & mustard, & cinnamon sugar pretzel. Everything was Perfect!! Cinnamon sugar pretzel was gone in minutes. Brilliant idea: you can order from Sky Fox & it'll be delivered to Hatchet. As you walk in, there is a person from Sky Fox who will take your order from the menu. (I don't know the days & hours this is available - but it was available during Thursday Trivia). Btw: they're dog friendly!!!!
