2 reviews for The Liberty
The Liberty is a bar/ restaurant located in the old McIntosh's Steaks & Seafood building on South Blvd. The restaurant appears to have a theme that focuses on beer while their food and beverage selection which includes a fairly extensive wine list that may have you thinking differently.
Atmosphere - Modern, clean, barley, amber, kegs, aluminum, concrete, dim lighting
Food - When I sat and started perusing the menu I had some difficulty in identifying what I wanted as the layout was confusing to me. As an example, the menu listed a line with a seafood item, then listed a beef item and then back to a seafood item. There did not seem to be any rhyme or reason for it; at least one that I could decipher. While deciding on what to eat, I went with a quick order of a beer. The place is not a microbrewery, so based on a recommendation I went with the Dogfish Shelter Pale Ale from their tap selection. It was served in an official Dogfish glass. The beer had a nice strong flavor without being heavy. After more struggling with the menu and the food descriptions (see photo), I ended up going with the safe route, a burger & fries. With my order, I asked that they sans the cheese but did not think to inquire about the mayo situation. The burger & fries arrived hot and nicely presented on a ceramic dish with the fries in a metal can/ sleeve. With burgers, it has been my experience in a brew pub setting that normally the mayo is an item that is provided on the side. Unfortunately for me this was not the case, as mayo was slathered on both sides of the bun. So I ended up just eating the beef patty w/ a knife and fork. I must say that the beef was good because it tasted like a cut of a steak which to me signaled it was of good quality. The side of fries was crisp but had a green, and I assume, dill seasoning that I did not prefer.
Service - The service I had was okay...nothing above and beyond. She did ask if everything was okay, but based on my obvious confusion with the menu it would have been nice if she had mention that the burger comes w/ mayo on it...oh well.
Price - The menu is pretty varied in price, from a $10 hamburger & fries to dishes costing around the $20 price point. With my $5.50 draft, my meal came in just over $20 w/tip.
Overall - It was a so-so experience. Would I go again...probably not? But the beer selection is worthy of a beer lover to at least check out.
They did it right! From the atmosphere to the food this was a fantastic experience. This restaurant has finally met the need for the "couple". Usually my husband and I are in complete disagreement when going out because while we both want FANTSTIC food, which The Liberty met...I mean exceeded our expectation, we can never agree on the preferred beverage. He likes great beers and I love fabulous wines. Never before in Charlotte was the combination of all three, fantastic food, great beer and fabulous wine housed under one roof.
From this wife, a sincere thank you, and two thumbs up to anyone considering on going...run there!
