The Outdoor Space is a Chapel Hill Community Treasure. 5 stars.

Indoors I can touch the ceilings. Thats 2 stars.

This is an Undergraduate Staple along with Pantana Bobs when I was around 25 Years ago. A must visit bar while you are in Chapel Hill to meet undergrads.

The smallest draft beer is 32oz.... the signature cup of a black out night to come.

Overall it gets 4 stars, this was a hard decision. The bar is a 3. Just know biger better bars and resturants lie ahead in your future!

The outdoor area under the Magnolia Trees is special. As I noticed all the needed new multi family investment next door built 50' high. I bumped my rating to a 4 star because of the location and Trees and the value of the land.

This is a "if its not broke dont fix" I get it. However I would add landscaping and more lots outdoor lighting. Outdoor area needs...

I have been going to this bar for the better part of 10 years. I have liked this bar until recently. I don't feel as if you should ever go to a bar and get yelled at or sworn at by the bartender/OWNER!!! I would understand if we had been drunk or disrespectful, but we were nothing but apologetic about an incident with pizza that was laying on the bar. A drunk man asked for the pizza - we gave it to him and he ate one slice. Apparently this was horrible and the bartender got mad at us, not the drunk man. The bartender swore at my boyfriend using the F-word. I also came back in to apologize and was talked to in an angry manner. Of course he took our money and the big tip I left him because we felt badly. Never will I go here again and you better believe I will tell all my friends never to...

Flat beer in big plastic cups so it gets hot and a plastic taste before you can enjoy it. This place has to be managed by someone who got the job after the place has already gained its popularity and lore. I say that because there is absolutely no motivation to promote or increase business. Instead the social media account seems to be used for passive aggressive complaints about other bars in the area. Other bars that didn’t seem to respond even thought the easiest response would have been well you would be a better bar if you sold Rumple Minze. But we all know why you can’t. Anyways cool place, awful manager. I also heard he hates the...

Definitely a college bar. However, I feel like I would've missed out on an experience integral to this community had I not stopped here. The beers are huge (blue cup) at decent prices. Honestly decent beer selections. The college kid working the bar is a beast. The place went from dead to packed (I mean it, we were packed in like sardines) in a matter of minutes. He was a boss though and handled everything very calmly and still managed to refill our beers timely. I definitely would recommend coming here if you're in the area.

Chapel Hill staple. Live band on the weekend sometimes ($5 and a huge vibe). $10 for the “blue cup” and it’s beer good for 2-3 people, tbh. Been to the trivia on Thursdays 8.30pm. Also good vibes. Outdoor space is super nice. Generally quite college-y, nothing too fancy, but it’s a nice gathering spot. Outdoors > indoors, but there are seats everywhere. Pretty dead on like, a Monday. $5 blues cups on Tuesdays.
