Hope the new brand keeps its prices reasonable, and the Sunday Jazz Brunch with Todd Wright.

Bring back Holly’s Taven in that spot! Friday happy hour in the early 80’s there was awesome.

Re: RIP Canyons
Was Holly's the grocery store with the pitchers of beer and cheap hotdogs? We used to sit out there and drink pitchers and watch the high flying airplanes cross over.JGthatsme86 wrote: ↑Thu Feb 01, 2018 7:59 pmBring back Holly’s Taven in that spot!

Re: RIP Canyons
Fellas and ladies, spring didn’t officially begin at App till that first awesome March/April day when the temps were warm, the dimpled pitchers of beer were cold and I gave myself permission to miss any and all afternoon classes to catch that Holly’s sunset!!!!! Awesome memories indeed!!Rekdiver wrote: ↑Thu Feb 01, 2018 10:12 pmand the 70's.....JGthatsme86 wrote: ↑Thu Feb 01, 2018 7:59 pmBring back Holly’s Taven in that spot!

Re: RIP Canyons
I have a ton of great memories of Thursday or Friday afternoons at Hollys. Then again, there are tons of times that I don't exactly remember times I was at Hollys as well.PBR1893-BEER-HAT-GUY wrote: ↑Thu Feb 01, 2018 10:33 pmFellas and ladies, spring didn’t officially begin at App till that first awesome March/April day when the temps were warm, the dimpled pitchers of beer were cold and I gave myself permission to miss any and all afternoon classes to catch that Holly’s sunset!!!!!

Remember that skeet shooting video game they had, on the wall? And, those steps (up/down) were steep as hell.MDaniels84 wrote: ↑Fri Feb 02, 2018 7:49 amI have a ton of great memories of Thursday or Friday afternoons at Hollys.

Re: RIP Canyons
Canyon's was always THE PLACE to be on Thursday night's since it was Karaoke night with Local Vocals. Especially over '07 - '08. Good times.

Re: RIP Canyons
I grew up in Lenoir and this was the place to go (not Canyons, but Emporium and the restaurants before), mainly because of the views and I felt like I was on top of the world (part of the reason I went to App). Loved the location and feel as if it's a perfect spot for a great watering hole and occasionally, food
However (and I might be in the minority here), when it changed over to Canyons, I thought the food wasn't as great as it used to be. I think there are better choices for some great lunch and dinner, and hope the new ownership sees this as well. What are your thoughts?

Re: RIP Canyons
Nothing better on a Spring, Friday afternoon than a Holly's dog and a few ice cold beers while watching the Sun go down. One of my favorite memories from my college days.

Re: RIP Canyons
Great place and great memories back to Holly's days. Hope the new ownership does not get too foo foo or ruin the menu....but on the topic of renovations, the place really needs to be gutted and rebuilt. That building is nearly falling apart. They need to build back with at least two levels/stories especially with that location.
KICK ASS!!!

Blowing Rock is frightening these days. Bistro/Antlers has already become the McDonald's for folks who wouldn't understand the word "you'ns" to save their own mutual funds.CornCobPipes wrote: ↑Sat Feb 03, 2018 5:43 pmGreat place and great memories back to Holly's days.
