If you enjoy receiving the cold stares of disaffected, middle-aged men and awkward vibes; then look no further!

Love the chill vibe. Perfect local place.

Three of us walked into this bar to order a round of drinks and the bartender named Jen told us to hold on for a few minutes while she fixed the point of sales system. We told her no problem and waited at the bar. After about ten minutes of sitting at the bar, Jen told us that she could not serve us because she could not get the point of sales system to work. We told her that we just wanted to get a round of beers and would pay cash if the register was not working. There were close to a dozen people drinking and playing pool, none of whom were having any trouble being served. Still, she refused to accept our money and immediately became very hostile with us. She then asked us “if we were even from North Carolina.” The three of us were completely stunned that not only would we not be served, but we were now being asked to leave the bar all together. The three of us have all worked in the bar industry and none of us could comprehend the complete lack of respect which we were receiving from this person. Throughout this entire experience, I could not help but think about what the owner of this establishment would do if they had witnessed all of this: Three people enter your bar and ask for beers, you tell them no because "you can’t get the cash register to work," the three people offer to pay cash, you tell them no and then ask them to leave because they are not from around here. Completely incomprehensible experience.

I went here after shooting pool at Getaway three nights in a row (amazing place to go, great vibes and friendly staff btw) and wanted to get some more games going. Walked up to the bar, the bartender Jen told me the computer was down so i sat down at the bar giving her time to fix it. Despite having cash in hand, then offering to pay for beers with the cash after waiting 10 minutes at the bar while she asked some guy playing pool to come behind the bar and look at the system, i also noticed how everyone else in the room had drinks somehow, clearly there was a way to get drinks out to the people. She then became hostile towards me and I felt very unsafe immediately. She demanded to know where I was from (why should that matter, I feel it was because of how I look, being from out of town). She then became hostile demanding I leave so I compiled and immediately left because of the unsafe and xenophobic environment Jen created. Over all it was a massive disappointment and a place you should avoid visiting while in the area. Honestly a frightening experience from a town where anyone from anywhere should feel welcome and accepted.

Great atmosphere! Great people! I hope you expand!!!

I love this place! It was as if it was made for me and my better half! A perfect recipe of ready made friends. The first time we walked in I was greeted and treated as if I had known them for years. We fit in immediately! Frazier's has its own essence and has a way of lifting your spirits

This is a member bar that's close to a gas station and a couple food locations. You CAN bring outside food in. Location has limited parking however it's a small place so that's okay. The bartender Collin is awesome! They have 2 pool tables, a good many craft beers, and various liquors. They have a heated patio/smoke area which is great! All around this is a homely place that is warm and inviting. This will likely become my go to watering hole.

Friendly, comfortable, welcoming, and good draft beer selection. Love this place!

Maybe I just haven’t went at the right time but each time I’ve been here there have been extremely drunk people just kinda ruining the whole vibe of the place. They have a great liquor selection and fair pricing, the building is super clean.

Love the workers and everyone is always down to play a round of pool lolDont forget to tip your bar tenders!!!
