We’re cooking up some fantastic specials at @jackofthewood this weekend for all your BILLY STRINGS pre- and post-game munchies!

You won’t be able to resist chef’s spicy BILLY WINGS (Buffalo or BBQ) or his decadent BMF BROWNIE (the house-made salted caramel crisp is to die for)!

Pair them with a KICKIN MULE bourbon cocktail (or two), and your #BMFS weekend party is guaranteed to level up!

Open from 2pm until 2am this Saturday 2/15, with our late night menu served until 1am — and open from noon until 8pm this SUNDAY 2/16!

Just 3 downtown blocks from Harrah’s Cherokee Center, why not make Jack of the Wood Pub your home away from Billy this weekend?

Y’all come get your STRINGS pregame on this Saturday afternoon 2/15 at @jackofthewood with NOBODY’S DARLING STRING BAND and their lively old-time music from 4-6pm!

The five women that comprise the band — Dona Cavanagh (fiddle), Zena Rubin (banjo-uke), Maxine Herring, (rhythm guitar), Hilary Dirlam (melody guitar), & Celia Millington-Wyckoff (bass) — each have a long history of playing old-time music & sure know how to put on a heck of a toe-tapping good show!

Stop in to enjoy the music — plus an afternoon libation (or two) & an early supper before the main event!

JACK OF THE WOOD is only a few blocks away from Harrah’s downtown! 🎻🪕🍺🍔🥃
