All locations feature a large selection of craft beer on draught. The Apex and Raleigh locations feature 80 taps, while the Durham location carries 70 taps and Carrboro boasts 38. Throughout the week there are daily beer specials at each location.
In addition to the main restaurant, the Apex, Carrboro and Durham locations also has a Speakeasy, a bar attached to the restaurant with pool tables, arcade games and televisions.
A craft beer retail store called the Carrboro Beverage Company, also owned by Huntington, is attached to the Carrboro location. The store offers samples of a rotating selection of beers so customers may try unfamiliar products before purchasing.
The Raleigh location includes 'draught tables' that allow patrons to pour their own beers with a digital meter that measures each pour.
