About

About Boone Saloon

Boone Saloon has been a cornerstone of the Boone, North Carolina bar scene for decades, drawing students from Appalachian State University, local residents, and mountain visitors alike to its lively home at 489 W King St. The bar built its reputation on honest, affordable American food — grass-fed local burgers, housemade chili, scratch-made hollandaise, and slow-cooked Cuban Mojo pulled pork — served alongside one of the town's broadest selections of local and regional craft beer on draft.

The kitchen takes pride in sourcing from local Appalachian producers: the flagship Fat Cheese Burger uses beef from Hickory Nut Gap Farm, a family-run operation in the Blue Ridge Mountains, and draft taps rotate through nearby breweries including Hi Wire, Oskar Blues, Booneshine, Foothills, and New Sarum. The bar's 'Dunch' menu — a portmanteau of dinner and brunch — offers weekend morning-afternoon dining with dishes like Shrimp & Grits, Crab Cakes Benedict, and housemade Eggs Florentine.

Beyond the food, Boone Saloon functions as a community gathering place with live music events, pool tables, and a full cocktail program anchored by the Magic Margarita (Herradura Silver and Cointreau) and scratch Bloody Mary. Open every day from 11:30 AM to 2 AM, it remains one of the most-reviewed and consistently-rated bars in Watauga County, ranking among the top pubs and bars in Boone on every major platform.
