Excellent Place To Go! – This is the epitome of what a great small town pub should be - bartenders that know your name, enjoy what they do, and provide a great atmosphere to everyone. The food is great too! I appreciate that the barstaff eliminates those customers that are harassing others and causing disruption - they have no place in our town! Thanks!

It USED to be a decent pub.. – This once-quaint, small town pub was at one time friendly, welcoming and just a nice place to have a beer and meet friends. No more. After loosing there once- great staff (original owner became paraplegic after car wreck, and had to sell), remaining owner, Matt, hired an angry, inexperienced "gentleman" to man the bar. Enter the notorious "Drew". Hardly a true bartender, this guy not only lacks any appreciation of how to treat tavern customers (ie. respectfully, and with good humor), he seeming... read more

The worst treatment I've ever had at a restaurant – I agree with the previous two reviewers. The staff, in particular "Drew", was very rude and disrespectful when I last visited. I was told to leave the establishment following some personal threats and false accusations from another person at the bar, which were completely unfounded. Drew never consulted with me or bothered to ask for my view or opinion. The Wooden Nickel serves a needed role as a local watering hole, and can provide a great community atmosphere, but as conf... read more

Bad place for family! – Called manager, "Drew" regarding a complaint of a rude patron that he obviously knew once I described her as the blonde sitting outside the door. He defended her rude behavior in saying "She is usually drunk..."He went on to tell us to come back tomorrow. I don't think so! A loyal patron for many years spending time and money there with family and friends...so much for local support! Drunkenness is not an excuse for rude behavior!

Rude owner, poor customer service, bad food – This is the only real bar in Hillsborough but I would never go back. My husband and I went there twice. The first time was shortly after we moved (new to the area) and were wearing our favorite college team shirt after moving all day. Apparently, the owner took issue with the college and basically told us to leave the bar. The bartender apologized, saying the owner was kidding, but the owner continued to be rude until we felt we had to leave. He was also not friendly to other sta... read more

Ignore x93ml – This is my favorite little pub in the Durham/Chapel Hill/Hillsborough area. I have NEVER seen the staff being unfriendly or rude to anyone! Their weekend waitress is the cutest little thing in the Triangle. They make their own wood-smoked barbecue, Their reuben sandwich is locally famous. My wife loves the hamburgers because they are not so huge they overwhelm her. Anyone who really knows french fries knows that the greasier they are, the better they taste--these are only moderatly so,. by the way; if you want... read more

Great, Fun Place - Excellent Customer Service! – To start - for being a smalltown pub, the food is great. Try the cheeseburger or one of there specials. They also have some of the best bourbon selections around. As for the customer service, just introduce yourself when they greet you and they will remember your name from there on out; EXCELLENT customer service. Just an all around fun place!

Great customer service. Truely a place where everybody knows your name and they're always glad yu came. – The WN is a place where the locals go to meet each other and find out what's going on in the neighborhood. The food i great. The juke box is always playing cool ecclectic music. The staff are friendly people who make everyone feel at home.
