Dead Mule Club

This is a nice little bar set back off Franklin street so it's a calmer atmosphere. They have a big patio as well as a small indoor space. It's not an undergrad hangout so it is a relaxed vibe.We went here during a home football game for UNC and it was very quiet - besides our group there were two other small groups. The bartenders were very nice and the drinks reasonably priced - I got a white claw selt but my friends enjoyed their cocktails too!Definitely a good place to check out for a causal night, they show games and have some board games too if you aren't into sports! Will be going back on a nice evening to enjoy their patio!

Fun place to catch a drink and watch a game. Bartender was nice. A good time all around. We ordered some apps for the table and pretty good.

Awesome spot for coctails when you want to get out of the busy-ness of the more popular bars on Franklin. Quaint seating area with good vibes. Bartenders were friendly and service was fast. Didn't try the food but menu looked good! Wish I would've snapped pics but we enjoyed the Tom Collins, Dark & Stormy, and bottled beer. Only downfall was draft beer was not working!

Sunday Brunch at the Dead Mule is really good. Poached eggs to perfection, a real biscuits and gravy, all looked and tasted like the best fine dining restaurants. But it's not a stuffy fine dining restaurant it's a cool bar right in the middle of Chapel Hill. There so much love and history in the bar, and despite the chain restaurants and apartment building that have sprung up around it, it's retained it's home town character. The bar and wait staff are friendly and laid back but very professional and efficient. This little house bar in the middle of Chapel Hill is a treasure, I knew that, but it's a pretty good restaurant sometimes, too. I definitely recommend the Sunday brunch.

Guy told me "can't be sleeping bro." Well I'm obviously a awake, and could have asked. So I wrote this review.Environment is definitely for older folks and the wood stairs are dangerous especially if you're drunk and elderly. I saw makers mark on the shelf, otherwise, their whiskey selection is relatively limited. I ended up going to a Marriott for some Macallan.

Since I was staying at The Franklin Hotel next door, I couldn't help but mosey on over to this little establishment that is tucked away. You might mistake it for someone's house if you didn't know what you were looking for. It was a rainy night before my graduation and I was in need of a celebratory drink with my wife! We stopped in, had a few, played Operation, chatted with the friendly bartender, and had a chill time.We learned that drinking establishments in Chapel Hill (and I'm guessing the whole state) must be classified as a club so we were asked to put our names on a sign-in sheet. Weird. Either way, the bar was quaint, intimate, there's awesome wall decor, and there were board games to pass the time. The bartender had mentioned that it's not really where the young college students go, but older (more refined) folks.Great place for a drink as you hobble along Franklin St.!

terrible service and no kid-friendly at all. The current bartender was rude and I missed the old vibe. Plenty of other bars to spend my money. I called the owner to explain my bad experience and no reply. #notworthit #nobueno.

This is one of my favorite bars in Chapel Hill. The bar staff is amazing and all of their cocktails are great. My group got Moscow Mules and a few of the blood Orange ciders on draft. Definitely recommend for anyone who wants to get away from the college bar lines.

Oh wow. What a fantastic atmosphere. This place is a winner. Wonderful staff. Friendly locals here. We will definitely be back. We ate their pork & collard egg rolls, a Bbq chicken burger and the most delicious home-made Madelyn's peach cobbler. Great food. Well priced. Drinks well priced. Nice deck to sit out front plus parking what a bonus.

Love this place!!! Best bar in Chapel Hill!Fantastic people, perfect location, ice cold beer and good food. Good mix of younger/older patrons.
