The Lodge is our local bar and grill in Colony Place. The atmosphere is classic sports bar with an area inside for live music on select nights. The bar can feel cramped because it’s always packed and the bartenders are cool and make stiff drinks. Golden Tee is in the entry way if you need to do some gaming.
The food and service are fine. On most visits you’ll end up with multiple runners and servers taking orders, bringing food and closing out a tab. It’s controlled chaos but it works. We’ve tried most of the menu. The burgers and sandwiches are our favorite things to order. The wing options are plenty and come in various amounts. A sneaky good app are the shrimp baskets with cocktail sauce. It’s on our regular rotation. They do offer nightly specials. Meatloaf Monday is our favorite and if they have a Fried Bologna sandwich grab it.
Parking isn’t bad in Colony but it can be hard to find a spot near The Lodge due to other restaurants in the immediate vicinity. If it’s packed park down by Walgreens. It’s only a quick walk away. Overall, it’s a great family-friendly atmosphere to watch a game. Food is good enough and staff is super friendly. There’s plenty of outside seating if the inside is packed. Expect a wait on weekends at peak times. It’s our best local spot for a beer and burger. Enjoy.

After a slow start on getting a seat with no one ahead of us things git better. The hostess was working to go orders and not seating patrons waiting to sit. The food and drink specials were very good and the wait staff works together very well to make sure everyone is serviced. Great job wait staff.

Great atmosphere if you need a bar that's great for watching football, attentive to the patrons, efficient, a large draft beer selection and some killer food... then this is your place in Ballantyne. I've been coming here for around 3 years now and everytime i am shocked just how efficient Eric and his staff are behind the bar. Always treated great, never sit wondering when someone is going to come, and always leave full and satiated. Since we moved away some, it was a pleasure getting to come back and have a killer Bison burger!

Mad good food and great guest service- instead of treating us like guests we were spoken to like normal humans. Can’t wait to come back when less crowded! I’d ask Keith Lee to eat here- my eyes, 9.2/10
Ryan Self
Outstanding experience every time. The classic "Cheers" vibe - bartenders who rememeber you, consistently interesting beer list and phenomenal food every time. A beloved local spot for a reason!

This is a really great locals spot that has been around for several years near my parents’ place. We always come here, staff are great. Menu is pretty extensive - pub food, solid quality and reasonable prices. Food and refills come out quickly. Bar becomes busy on weekends and sometimes there is live music. Burgers/ sandwiches are great as are the wings and ribs on the rib special night especially.

This is the place for upscale food in a sportsman type atmosphere bar 🍻 The Salmon BLT sandwich 🥪 is 🤤.. Great Food Definitely 😁

AMAZING breadth of GF options! Multiple gluten free beers and cider.
Mashed potatoes and gravy are gf as are crab cakes. Gluten free buns, shared fryer so be aware about that. Great staff who explained options and were attentive despite the evening being busy. Will be back.

I've been to The Lodge many times for appetizers and good music. Last night I was in the mood for a steak but I was hesitant to order one at a sports bar. I'm glad I did! The steak was cooked exactly as requested and it was flavorful and tender. It came with a huge balked potato and a fresh and beautifully presented green salad. The music was outstanding. Chuck Johnson played a good mix of original songs and cover songs. He interacts well with his audience and is especially kind to the young children on the patio and next door at the yogurt shop.

A great place to catch a Panthers game. Outstanding service at the bar, great beer selection and the food is always good. Great neighborhood spot!
Michael Glankler
Food was good, I didn't like the fact that the bartender wrote in his own tip after I tipped cash. Sucks that I will have to take this further bc 30% tip ($3 dollars on $10 tab) wasn't enough so he had to add in $2 more.
Jim Powers
A great place to relax with good food and welcoming service. I love the build it yourself burger selection, delicious, and with tater tots! Live music calendar lets you know the top local talent performing - check them out!!
David Stone
Food is great. Try the chicken sandwich with a egg with tater tots. Its fantastic. Staff is so friendly and outdoor patio this time of year is sweet. A+ rating.

A great place close by..The Lodge. It's the place where you are greeted by your name and a smile ! Great variety of beer. I do miss the jello shots. Good food...good bloody Mary's !
Greg Filipkowski
Eric is a great bar tender and just all around hospitable! It's become our Sunday funday spot....just about every Sunday....the one on Colony/Rea Rd that is! We went to the new one in Ballatyne 2-3 times...Buddy, the manager there, is a complete dueshebag...so we stopped going to that one as a result!

Everything better then VG, bar, prices food..
Except our dinner waitress, it was like we were bothering her �
Bruce Weeks
The French dip sandwich and the rib eye sandwich were horrible,all gristle both of them. Onion rings and fries way to greasy. Might be a good bar, except the beer was warm. Totally disappointed with everything.
Lacy Carruth
The food and service was absolutely awesome! This was the first time we tasted a bison burger and we loved it!
Carolyn Cornell Donohue
I used to enjoy bringing my dogs at night and having a beer and food with my husband on the outdoor porch but the amount of people smoking out there makes it a disgusting and filthy environment.
Harold Dimond
Love the place. Great staff great food and love their support of live music. Very important
