Themed around the legend of the soul-selling Mississippi bluesman, this resto-bar's decked out with murals depicting said transaction, a fieldstone fireplace, Maker's barrel tables, and a backroom crafted like a boxcar. The manly menu's highlighted by Maker's- and honey-glazed pork chops, pan-fried catfish w/ bacon and caper sauce, and a daily po' boy. Refreshments include 16 taps (Gumballhead, 312, Pyramid Hefeweizen...), and cocktails like a Templeton Rye Old Fashioned, 15oz Hurricanes, and the "Sweet Relief", with lemonade, club soda, and Sweet Carolina Sweet Tea Vodka -- distilled in the most redneck of Southern states, Maine.
