15 Best Cocktail Bars in Cary

“Great Food. Excellent Host.“

“Made a reservation here a week ahead for a special occasion and was super excited to try it out. Our reservation was for 8pm and we arrived fifteen minutes early and didn’t get sat until around 8:30-8:45 but Being that I also work in the food industry and it’s Covid times, I didn’t see it as a big deal. I do wish I had snacked before hand though! They did send edamame to our table for the inconvenience once we were finally sat though which was a super nice and unnecessary gesture. Also, the ambience is lovely and super romantic. The best sushi I have ever had. So light and flavorful. We even got some dessert and I have to say the mochi doughnuts were to die for - I wish the chocolate sauce for dipping had been dark chocolate but that’s my personal preference. The only negative thing I have to say is it is a little pricey so it won’t be a regular spot for me personally but definitely a place to check out for special events or date nights.“

“This was our first visit to Side Door Cocktail bar. V pizza was already closed and we almost left because we did not find the door to the bar. We started with two classic cocktails which were just okay. Our second round was a little bit better. We shared one their signature cocktail at the end which was good. Overall, it was an enjoyable experience.“

“We just went for the first time and sat at the bar. our bartender, Hayden, was outstanding, helpful and kind. we had the toast (omg so good), asparagus and ribeye. everything was absolutely delicious. can't wait to go back! please sell your logo shirts! I need that dog on a shirt :)“

“If you are planning a special occasion or just want a night out at a wonderful restaurant, I have a bit of advice for you. Go to Chef Palette! This establishment has got it together. The atmosphere is just lovely. We planned our son and future daughter-in-law's rehearsal dinner from afar, way far.....Michigan. As stressful as that could have been, Kathie did everything to ease our stress. She calmed this Momma's heart and executed everything to a "T". The appetizer table was not only displayed beautifully, it was YUMMY! The salad, main entrees and dessert did not disappoint. But most of all, the staff was most kind and extremely professional. We cannot thank Kathie and the staff at Chef Palette enough for the wonderful and memorable evening we shared together. GO TO CHEF's PALETTE!“

“These folk let our motorcycle group come in all the time on Thursdays for bike night, and they are amazing about it! The bartenders are always friendly and happy to help, the games are fun, and they let us park our bikes up on the patio away from the cars! Great place for bikes to hang out, great place for friends to mingle, and just a great place hands down

Parking: They let our motorcycles park on the patio outside“

“Our bartender, Donovan, is The Best! Awesome service and truly cares for the patrons. Because of him, we WILL be back!!“

“I just hosted a small baby shower for my friend here at La Victoria. The staff was very kind to allow me to put small decorations on the table. I asked our waitress Antanella (not sure how to spell) if we could start with water for everyone and (seeing the occasion) she offered to bring us these fancy glass cups that they rarely ever use. I really appreciate her going the extra mile! She was the most patient, kind and helpful. The restaurant itself is beautiful and the food was delicious! Friendly and helpful staff is the cherry on top!

I will definitely eat here again!!“
