Six Pence Pub

I live in Blowing Rock and can say that Six Pence has had its share of good and bad wait staff/bartenders (but hasn't every dining establishment?). The current bar staff is a wonderful pleasure. One bartender in particular, Eric, always takes perfect care of everyone and all the bar staff are very talkative and friendly, as well as helpful. Being that we are right on the edge (7 minutes away) of a large university town, bars and restaurants will have their fare share of slack, careless staff both in the kitchen and out front (honestly, though the first reviewer claims to be more forgiving of the kitchen, that's where i would prefer more attention be paid). I have worked in the food industry for a few years and find six pence to be not only a great bar to go to and relax but also their food isn't bad either. But I really love the bar setting. It's not usually slam-packed, which I prefer. It is generally less of a college crowd as well, so it's quieter (it can get rowdy of course. come in when i'm on my 4th gin and tonic! -p) Try out six pence.
