text: Finally In every town I am always on the lookout for a great pubstyle place it has to be small but not tiny have an interior with lots of character exposed brick dark wood paneling a great beer selection and a menu with decent nonmeat options It is OK if it is got TVs for the game but they cannot be too obtrusive In Raleigh I have got Mitchs In Columbia I have got Hunter Gatherer Finally finally finally I have found my Charlotte barnnGrowlers is all but perfect We went for the first time with a group of five and sat at one end of their wooden castle door table that could easily seat The bar tender willingly put the S Carolina game on the TVs and our server was clever attentive and supportive He fetched us a growler and carefully poured our glasses for us Among our group several ordered the pretzel with spicy mustard some ordered the italian sausage some ordered the mac and cheese some ordered the veggie sausage and I got the poblano hummus All of it was great beer food and the hummus had spice and flavor The pretzels are hot and softnnOne of the best part of the evening however were the dessert smores a doityourself special with the marshmellows drenched in grain alcohol and then set afire We ordered two and got our fingers gooey and chocolateynnA few days later we went back just the two of us and a friend We sat in a booth this time and had pretzels and beer We had equally attentive service granted it was a Monday night and the place was pretty quiet and the music was at a low enough level that it was easy to have a good conversationnnThanks Growlers I will be back
