The Northside District

I simply cannot recommend this place. I went after seeing live music next door, so it was after midnight. The only way that I can see being justified eating here is if you're not sober enough to distinguish quality food. When I came in, I wasn't greeted. The person at the bar seemed a bit apathetic quite frankly. It was also uncomfortably cold inside. I ordered fries, carnitas tacos, and a Shirley temple. My Shirley temple didn't have any cherries in it, the fries were overly garlicky, and the tacos were extremely bland. I have to believe the meat on the tacos hadn't been seasoned at all. I've never had worse tacos.

I love this place! Super nice staff, delicious food and the bartender accommodated my request for a French Martini by creating a similar drink using their house made blackberry syrup. Yum! The fried tofu skewers were delicious, as was the beet salad. I already cleaned my plate so I can't take a picture Definitely coming back!

Their menu is very creative and a major step up from any bar food I've ever had. I ordered the tofu bites which were okay but i think a firmer tofu with a crispy coating would have made it better. The chicken satay sliders were good though I'm not a fan of the Hawaiian sweet buns which skewed the taste too much to the sweet side and the buns were soggy. I'd eat the chicken by itself though. It wasn't a huge win for me but I wouldn't rule it out for something out of the ordinary.

If you are bartending and see your customer that you just served get a drink knocked out of her hand by someone else, the appropriate response is to give them a replacement drink and NOT chastise them for trying to clean it up for you. Bartending Etiquette 101!

This is a great little bar with a cool vibe, games, couches, space for live music and really good reasonably priced food. They have a great variety of influences on there menu so everyone can find something good. At our table alone we had fried chicken on a biscuit with chiorzo gravy, Mac and Cheese, an Asian inspired (Wu Tang) slider, Meatball slider, a burrito and Tacos. Everyone left full and happy!

Menu is all over the place the food dose not taste fresh the north side noodles have no flavor or taste not good at all would not recommend this place

Okay I was overall pretty impressed with this place, especially the food--not your classic bar food. Ambiance - a slightly divey yet classy bar if that works? We came during unc championship game day so was a little hard to characterize. Patio outside. Overall pretty casual. Service - excellent. Even during crazy game day they were pleasant and helpful. Drinks- just had beer here but they have all the liquors for cocktails as well. Food- really quite impressive and reasonably priced. I wanted to try everything but was most impressed by the tofu (begrudgingly i listed a veggie food!). The chicken sliders were also tasty. Plantains pretty good but not my favorite. Overall would gladly come back for either drinks or dinner! Great addition to the area.

I've loved Northside District since it opened (and even before - when it was still Industry). Their beer selection is usually great and the decor is really nice. The environment can vary, sometimes they show games, have trivia, or live bands - it really just depends on what day it is. The food is good. You order at the bar and seat yourself. I thought some of the dishes were a little pricey for the quality, but the biscuit and chorizo gravy and the fried tofu are favorites. The fries are huge as well. I didn't think the sliders or tacos were very good, but service is always fast and friendly.

the northside district is a really fantastic place to go for simple cocktails, beer and wine and a relaxing kinda offbeat atmosphere. in chapel hill there are definitely quite a few vars that are dominated by students and can have a very chaotic vibe to them. northside is the opposite of this. off the beaten track for college students, its a great place to sit unwind at the end of the workday with friends--they have an outdoor patio area that's smoking friendly with quite a few pick nick tables. if you are looking for high end, advanced/complex cocktails though, northside may not be the place for you.

Eddie is so handsome and such a good bass player that I was absolutely starstruck the moment I walked into Northside. Honestly I don't even remember what I had because staring into Eddie's eyes was a psychedelic journey of erotic self-discovery. I left feeling satisfied on a deeply spiritual level and will be returning 4-5 times weekly. Chaz is alright too
