Rooted in the traditions of regional cooking, Henley celebrates quality products made by American hands. That starts with the hand selected bourbon and Tennessee whiskey barrels that populate our drink program and extends to our rich appreciation for the bounty available in the American South. The atmosphere evolves as you move through the space: bright and breezy on patio, hushed and moody in Snooker. As for the inner sanctum--Henley’s coveted Rabbit Hole--well, you’ll just have to experience that for yourself.

A nice intimate music venue. We went a little early to have food before the music started at 8 PM. The food was good, service was great and prices are very reasonable. It really seemed like a place for locals, lots of people seem to know each other, which gave it a special vibe. Was a comfortable atmosphere for listening to some great music.

Our server, JD, (and the rest of the staff) was professional, courteous, and knowledgeable about the menu and cocktail selections. My dining companion and I had a thoroughly enjoyable experience and would definitely recommend Adele's!
