    Got to visit the Ramkat again recently for Somewhat Petty, a Tom Petty cover band out of Asheville…read more I really enjoy going to shows at the Ramkat. It's small, making for more intimate performances, but not too small, so they get some decent acts coming through. They offer a full bar with beer, mixed drinks and even THC seltzers. They've got some tables and seating, though you have to pay extra for the seating. Ramkat is located in a great part of town with several dining options, and breweries near by. There are paid lots for parking, but also plenty of free street parking if you arrive early enough.

    Great small venue! I recently did generally admission for the Morgan Wade show. There were some…read moreissues with the sound equipment that produced some feedback for part of the show (not sure if that was due to the artist or the venue). However, the quality of the performance more than made up for it. There were a lot of specialty drinks available, but I just opted for some sodas. Service at the bar was friendly and they were making their way through the line quickly. The energy in the space was good and it seemed like a true music lover's haven. One challenge I had was that there didn't seem to be any seating options for general admission. Even offering a couple of off-to-the-side seats for a rest would be handy, since staying on your feet for a few hours straight can get a little tiring. Perhaps that was a possiblity and I missed it. There was seating in the VIP sections though and the price differential didn't seem too dramatic. Seriously, no bad view in the place due to the venue being so small. I'd absolutely recommend checking out a show here!

    We stopped in here based on a recommendation from a friend. We were in town for a wedding and this…read morespot was walking distance from our hotel. We came in on an unseasonably chilly May morning nursing a bit of a hangover. Krankies was delightfully warm with plenty of seating. I got the Hangover Cure biscuit, which had eggs, fried chicken, bacon, cheese, and gravy on the side. I also got a hot latte and then topped it off with a cinnamon roll. My partner got the sausage, egg, and cheese biscuit with an iced latte. The lattes: go with a flavored one if you grab a coffee here. Their plain latte was not that good but their vanilla latte was very good. Biscuits: WOW! The Hangover Cure is hefty with plenty of biscuit to go around - I had some to take home with me. It was absolutely everything I needed after a night of imbibing with friends. My partner also enjoyed his biscuit. Cinnamon roll: very good! They had a variety of baked goods to choose from. Definitely worth the add. All in all, I think we spent $40, which feels reasonable for the amount and quality of food we received. Definitely worth a stop in if you happen to be in the area.

Definitely enjoy the sandwiches and the fact that they are huge. Love the variety of craft coffee beverages. I would also suggest grabbing the wedges with the green sauce. I got that and the classic sandwich with the gravy, which I did not really notice affect the flavor profile. Next time I'm in town, i'm going for something with the blueberry biscuit.

    Had a positive experience on my first visit to Earl's. I loved the interior - I think I was…read moreexpecting it to be a lot darker and more "country," but the high ceilings, brick, sage green walls and bare trees strung with lights created a cool vibe. There were a lot of interesting sounding cocktails on the menu, but I wasn't feeling super adventurous so I just got a glass of Chardonnay. I also wasn't super hungry so I got the Big Ol' Pretzel with queso (other side choices were brown sugar or mustard) and a Caesar side salad. The pretzel was great. It was salty and had a great texture (and did not have that microwaved chewy texture that you get sometimes)! I do prefer beer cheese to queso but the pretzel was so good it wasn't a huge deal. The side salad was larger than expected. I didn't care for the dressing. It was not a traditional Caesar taste or texture - not creamy, more of a vinaigrette, and gave the salad greens a slimy texture. Our server seemed busy but was pleasant and checked on us and food was served in a timely manner.

    Earls might've ruined all other chicken and waffles for me. This hot honey chicken sandwich between…read moretwo soft, moist waffles was honestly ridiculous in the best way possible. The chicken was crispy, juicy, and packed with flavor, and that hot honey sauce had the perfect sweet heat. Then the pickles and ranch came through and balanced everything out perfectly. Every bite just worked. The sides definitely deserve their own shoutout too. The tots and fries were really good, but those onion rings? Whew. Crispy, flavorful, and dangerously easy to keep eating. The vibe inside Earls was really nice too, relaxed, fun, and welcoming. The staff was super friendly and took really good care of us the whole time.

From…read morethe moment you walk in, you're greeted by some of the friendliest and most talented bartenders in town. They know their craft, they remember your drink, and they make everyone feel like a regular--even if it's your first time. Shout out to Brooks too! He's a great addition to the team. The atmosphere is unbeatable--warm, welcoming, and just the right mix of lively and laid-back. Whether you're inside enjoying the cozy vibe or out on the deck soaking up the fresh air, it always feels like the perfect place to be. The deck, by the way, is a total game-changer, offering a great spot to relax with friends and enjoy a drink under the stars. Every time I step into The Tap, I feel like I belong. It's more than just a bar--it's a community, a home away from home, and a place I'll keep coming back to time and time again. If you're looking for great drinks, even better people, and an atmosphere that keeps you coming back, The Tap is where you want to be!

The bartender, Justin, is super friendly, always keeping up with the drinks, and the drinks themselves are half the price of the bar across the street.

A few people were playing card games at one table, others were hanging out near the pool table, and a handful were just vibing to the music at the bar. They have an extensive beer list and some fun New Orleans-style tropical cocktails. I was happy to see an Aperol Spritz on the menu--and it was made properly, so I ended up ordering a second one. It seemed like a few friends of the bartender came in and started picking the music, which shifted into a mix of dance tracks and rap. The vibe fizzled out a bit after that, so we decided to head out. Overall, it could be fun little spot, we will check back later. If you're in the area and miss Hoots Brewery, definitely check out Bar Nola. I can only imagine how great their Mardi Gras party must be or Super Bowl day. On the other end of the building, there's a huge open space with beautiful hardwood floors and a another bar. It looks like the kind of venue where you could easily host a party with a live band--maybe they even rent it out for weddings or holiday events, though I'm not sure if it's officially part of the bar. There's also a large outdoor area with a TV and an uncovered bar, but since it was cold last night, everyone stayed inside. It seems like you can take your drinks out into the alleyway between the two buildings. Definitely a beautiful area to be when the weather is nice.

For starters, The Nutcracker, put on by UNCSA, is an absolute 5 stars. The performances on stage were fantastic. The orchestra was great. The ushers were very friendly and helpful. If you have never seen UNCSA's The Nutcracker then you are missing out. Highly recommend. Of course, it is only during the Christmas season. You can get tickets online and pick your seat from their web site. They do sell snacks and drinks (including wine), at least for The Nutcracker. Also, Nutcracker items are also for sell, They do take plastic. Regarding the Stevens Center. Loved the building. Seating was comfortable. Aisles for the seating are narrow so expect to have to standup to let people by. Two levels, orchestra and balcony levels. I personally have not had a bad seat. Only downside is if you get a big headed giant who sits right in front of you, but this can happen at most venues. So why 4 stars and not 5 for the Stevens Center? 1) The entrance lobby is small. For popular events, it is too small to handle the crowd trying to get in. I will give credit to the staff for efficiently processing the tickets. 2) The orchestra level lobby is also small. Very crowded as everyone is waiting to get in and during intermission. 3) Not enough restrooms to handle capacity crowds. When intermission starts, you better run to the restroom otherwise you can be in a line 20 people deep. Despite the minor downsides, probably due to it being an old historic building, it is a great venue.

Visually, it's beautiful! The art that is scattered around as you walk through the building adds to the museum like atmosphere. The main theatre where the performances take place is gorgeous and feels quite cavernous, however the seating isn't amazing, gorgeous, and it's CERTAINLY NOT cavernous. The seats are crammed together. I didn't measure, so I can't be sure, but I would say they must be significantly closer together, with less legroom than airline seats. Fortunately, the performance was so entertaining, that I was able, to a large extent, to ignore the painful seating.
