Satisfy your casual cravings with Southern comfort. Peckinpah is a true barbecue joint delivering finger-licking food, done the good old fashion way. This is a fantastic spot to dine and unwind with top grade barbecued meats. Not to be mistaken for backyard grilling, Peckinpah pays tribute to barbecuing in Carolina tradition. Meats are done dry-rub style, so you won’t get a messy overdose of barbecue sauce on your plate. Briskets, beef short ribs and pulled pork – all locally sourced – are slowly cooked on low heat for up to 18 hours, resulting in a finer texture and perfect flavouring. Peckinpah’s smoked jalapeno mayo and honey bourbon sauce add the perfect kick. Top it off with a side of house-made sausage corndogs, pumpkin bread pudding – and ample amounts of beer & bourbon – and you’ll be rubbing your stomach in satisfaction. View Peckinpah’s menu here.

It might be the soulful hospitality, retro furnishings or flavoursome tapas, but there’s something about Revel Room that makes you feel right at home. This lively eatery is a popular after-work destination for convivial late night dining and cocktail sipping. Revel’s menu mainly features nibbles and bites inspired by Southern flavours from New Mexico to New Orleans. Sides like bourbon bakes and Jalapeno cornbread are sure to warm up your taste buds. The cocktail list is equally impressive with over 15 classic libations and spirit forward house concoctions to choose from. But, it’s truly Revel’s spectacular live music nights that give the room its vibrant Southern vibe. Established musicians like the Steve Kozak Blues Trio and Mike Van Eyes literally ‘bring the house down’ with dynamic live performances four nights a week. View Revel Room’s menu here.
