New year, new resolutions… and the familiar pressure to reset everything at once. If you’re swearing off carbs, booze, fried food, and joy this January, MoonRunners may not be for you… Don’t get us wrong–Balance is important, but sometimes balance looks like a cold drink and a burger with extra bacon.
At MoonRunners Saloon, we’re not interested in pretending that one month determines the entire year. We believe in enjoying where you are, showing up for the people around you, and not forcing resolutions that don’t fit real life.
Sure, keep going to the gym if that’s your thing. Lift the weights, hit the treadmill, drink the green juice. But let’s be real—after all that hard work, you’re not saying no to wings. They’re basically protein anyway, right?
Fully Stocked Bar to Kick Off 2026
And Dry January? We respectfully decline. MoonRunners is a fully stocked bar, and we take that responsibility seriously. From ice-cold beers to moonshine cocktails poured just right, we’re here to keep your glass full and your spirits high.
So if your resolution is to have more fun, eat what you want, and not take January too seriously—we’ll see you at MoonRunners. No judgment. No dry drinks. Just good food, good people, and zero guilt.
Food is part of how people connect. Drinks are part of how people unwind. We don’t believe those things need to disappear for four weeks in order to make progress elsewhere.
A Resolution You Can Keep
There’s value in consistency, and sometimes consistency looks like choosing places that feel familiar and welcoming. MoonRunners has always been that kind of space—a spot where regulars gather, conversations linger, and meals don’t feel rushed or restricted. Life doesn’t pause in January, and neither should enjoyment.
Food is part of how people connect. Drinks are part of how people unwind. We don’t believe those things need to disappear for four weeks in order to make progress elsewhere. Balance doesn’t require elimination—it requires honesty.
MoonRunners Saloon offers a unique prohibition-era themed experience, featuring a lively atmosphere, the world’s largest selection of moonshine, and award-winning food such as wings and ribs. With two locations in Garner and one in Dunn, it’s a top choice for both locals and visitors seeking memorable American dining.
