a year agoFood was delicious and you just go next door a grab a drink.
Nevada Lee
4 months agoFood truck is fire. Catch it before they start running out because they are in demand! Bartender, Nola, was awesome and has a great personality. 10/10 drinks and service!

10 months agoWent on Saturday of Saint Patrick’s Day weekend. First time visiting since it has changed from Brightlight. The food we got Loaded Tots with chicken and the chicken wings were both very good. They have a ghost section of drinks and the ones we tried were good. The only negative wax was there was only one bartender and the wait time for drinks was very long. I would have gotten a couple more drinks but would have spent the whole time standing in line. Will be back because of the food.

3 months agoGreat food! The beer selection is pretty good, as well. Just a chill spot where to spend a lazy evening. If you are into raves, they hold them later at night about once a week.

10 months agoStopped in here and might have found my favorite little spot in Fayetteville for after hours. Food truck has a great menu and the bar has some interesting beers on draft.
