Heart of Southern Pines downtown they serve small plates (you can't go wrong with anything on their menu), and noteworthy craft cocktails. They take a lot of time on their drinks to make them perfect so don't expect a quick turnaround. Outdoor seating in courtyard. I wouldn't go hungry there you will order everything on the menu. Great spot for after dinner or pre dinner drinks too.
