There’s no place quite like MoonRunners Saloon. In Garner and Dunn, this Prohibition-inspired hotspot brings together everything you could want in a local hangout. MoonRunners Saloon offers authentic Southern comfort food, handcrafted moonshine cocktails, live entertainment, and a welcoming vibe that keeps you coming back. Whether you’re stopping in for dinner with family, meeting up with friends, or looking for a lively night out, MoonRunners delivers an experience that’s flavorful, fun, and full of Southern soul.
A Saloon with a Story
MoonRunners rose to fame after appearing on the hit TV show Bar Rescue, where our passion and potential were given a platform. Since then, we’ve turned that spotlight into long-term success by building a loyal customer base, expanding into new locations, and creating a unique brand that celebrates the best of both past and present.
From the vintage decor and rustic charm to our signature moonshine recipes, everything at MoonRunners pays tribute to the spirit of the Prohibition era. But don’t let the old-school theme fool you, we’ve got plenty of modern flavor and energy to match.
Southern Comfort Meets Creative Flavor
At the heart of MoonRunners is our menu, packed with bold, satisfying dishes made from quality ingredients. You’ll find Southern staples like slow-roasted baby back ribs, cornmeal-crusted catfish, and our signature shrimp & grits with pork belly, alongside crave-worthy starters like apple pie moonshine gravy fries and fried Brussels sprouts with candied bacon jam.
Burgers and sandwiches are a big deal here too. Whether you’re diving into the spicy Firewater Burger, the savory Garlic Steak Melt, or building your own masterpiece, you’re guaranteed something juicy, flavorful, and filling. And don’t forget to save room for dessert (or maybe just another cocktail).
Drinks That Keep the Party Going
Of course, no visit is complete without trying one of our moonshine cocktails. Our bar features a wide variety of house-infused moonshines and specialty drinks that nod to our rebellious roots. Whether you prefer something fruity, spicy, sweet, or strong, there’s a signature cocktail (or shot flight) with your name on it.
We also offer a full bar with beer, wine, and non-alcoholic options so no matter your taste, we’ve got a glass waiting for you.
A Place to Eat, Drink & Gather
MoonRunners isn’t just about food and drinks, it’s about community. Our weekly events bring the space to life, from live music and karaoke nights to team trivia and cigar night. We’re proud to be a gathering place for locals, travelers, families, and friends looking to relax, celebrate, or just enjoy the moment.
Planning a party or event? We also offer catering and private event services through MoonRunners Catering, so you can bring that same legendary flavor and service to your next big occasion.
