38 Best Wine Bars near Cary

“Visited last night and loved the venue! Beautiful atmosphere and friendly staff. Live music was awesome with Sayer McShane. Patio and inside seating with glass walls that open for an inside outside feel. Highly recommend!!“

“First time dining here last night...great friendly staff, great atmosphere, and probably a Top 5 meal that I have ever had! THIS PLACE IS A GEM! You can absolutely tell it's local and fresh (and I normally think that's BS). Started with the Crispy Brussels Sprouts and then the Homage to the Pig and my wife got the Shrimp Pasta. Incredible (chef's kiss). Going back for sure!“

“I love the staff and owners at Chatham St. They provide such excellent service and selection to all guests and are always friendly and welcoming. I highly recommend them.“

“We love this place because it’s beautiful. The kids play at the nest and we can walk over to the Bark Bar to get a beverage. They had really revived the downtown Cary area to be a magical place for everyone. There are lots of nonalcoholic beverages also available.“

“The owner and team members are so personable and awesome! Great neighborhood hang out.“

“I strongly believe this is the best Indian restaurant in the area, which is a lot considering how many there are here in Morrisville.
We ordered masala dosa, garlic naan, and a chana masala.
The first thing you will notice is that the food is much less greasy than most Indian restaurants around. Instead, you have excellent quality ingredients that are perfectly cooked and taste healthy. They even had micro herbs to garnish—which of course do not change the taste, but are beautiful nonetheless. The price is also very reasonable considering how massive each portion is and how beautiful the ambience.
All the chutneys that came with the dosa were excellent, and the peanut chutney had a deep roasted flavor that was quite special. But the sambar was the spotlight—thick, savory, with tender cooked vegetables.
Our naan was also perfectly crisp and airy, like a perfect pizza.
What topped it off was the attentive and cheerful service by our server Sumeer. We certainly had enough leftovers to take home for another whole meal or at least a large snack. We look forward to visiting this establishment again.“

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

“Very good food, great wine selection, and enjoyable tasting flights. The ambiance was lovely and made for a nice outing.

Service was a bit inconsistent during our visit. We didn’t see our waitress very often, and one interaction felt less welcoming than expected when we asked a question about the menu. That said, the food, wine, and atmosphere were the highlights, and overall we enjoyed the experience. We’d consider returning.“

“Carrie was so sweet to me while I’m traveling to a wedding with my friends. I’m from the south but I live in New York City and she made me feel like I’m coming home. She’s kind and cute and generous five stars all around. she recommended the brisket and it was delicious. Slice of home.“

“Cool little place to meet friends at for a quick bite. We had the Bruschetta board which we were able to choose what kind we wanted and mix flavors. We also had the meatballs and they were awesome. So rich and flavorful. The service was great as well. I'd return to try something different.“

“Amazing experience, they made a drink I’ve been trying to try for ages but haven’t been able to get anywhere else just off of the recipe. Cool chill environment with music and games, never too crowded. Jack and Alex were amazing and so helpful, they really made my groups night. Would absolutely recommend!“

“This place was fantastic! We came here for our anniversary and Vidrio took great care of us. The food was spectacular. The drinks were immaculate. And our server, Nick, was absolutely the best and took great care of us. Highly recommend coming here! A hidden jewel on Glenwood. And what a great interior design!“

“Great food, cocktails & service!“

“Great wine bar with live music and friendly bartenders.“

“We ordered the Christmas take home Meal and it was superb!! Everyone raved about the freshness. The Prime Rib was delicious and the vegetables were very tasty and the rolls and pies were the best! We will be ordering for all the Holidays meals in 2025!“

“The best place in Raleigh! I can’t recommend Barcelona enough! Mark Figueroa is awesome! He makes a difference, always making us feel welcome. The food is delicious! I’m hi Spanish and it’s like diving back to Spain. Today is Valentine’s Day and I have 3 friends coming for the first time! Im excited for them to experience the best of Raleigh!!!“

“Seasons 52 is one of the restaurants we end up going to pretty often in the Raleigh area, and it’s still one of our favorites. The menu is great, the prices are solid, and the atmosphere is comfortable and welcoming. The place is always clean and well-kept, and the host staff and servers are consistently friendly, attentive, and efficient. All the servers we have had at Seasons 52 have been great, but if you happen to get P.J., you’re in for an especially good experience.

The menu and wine list have plenty of variety to fit most tastes. If you’re a big steak lover, you might wish there were a few more beef options, but what they do offer is well-prepared and always satisfying. Whether you’re in the mood for seafood, chicken, salads, or seasonal dishes, there’s really something for everyone.

Overall, Seasons 52 is a great go-to spot in Raleigh for reliably good food, attentive service, and a relaxed, easy dining experience.“

“Have been wanting to try this little spot! Cool spot inside & out back patio area. Drinks were good! Great customer service too! Definitely will be back soon!“

“Love this place so much! We eat here every chance we get. 😄“

“Great place to find excellent craft beers at reasonable prices. Dog friendly and very cool crowd.“

“Although I have enjoyed all that I tried at this establishment the scones and tea are what love most. They are often extremely busy on the weekends and evenings so the volume can climb however it a historical landmark so that is understandable. This is a tea room although not a traditional tea room so go try it out and enjoy the experience .“

“You can't stop eating even if you're full. That happened to me when I had dinner there. They gave us a great service, too.“

“This is one of the coziest scenes I have experienced here in North Carolina. I've lived here for aomost 5 years! The people and the vibe are extremely relaxed. Such a chill place with great beer( I am not a beer drinker bit I really like theirs!!!) They bring in great vendors for a variety of food on Thursdays and the service from the bartender, Gabz is super fun behind the bar. PS... bring your dog and kids! Totally family friendly! Great crowd!!“

“Great bourbon selection including vintage whiskey. The craft cocktails are amazing! Beautiful and masculine decor!“

“Great beer and even better vibes. Super cool collection of regulars always down for a fun conversation and very friend bartenders. Solid selection of drinks both on tap and in the fridge. I’ll definitely be making this a regular Raleigh stop in the future!“

“Wow! This was amazing! I’ve been chasing a quiche as good as one I had in Colmar, France years ago and this was it!!! I will dream of this quiche. Cannot recommend enough! Also had the best iced tea I’ve ever had at a restaurant. My husband got the French Toast and said it was amazing as well! The service was great, the restaurant was a great atmosphere and the accommodation for children was nice! We will be back many times!“

“I’ve been there for some date nights and friend’s party. For the very first time, it’s a long wait for my stake to come out. Then it’s a lot of tendon on that steak to the point I could not chew and I request a new piece. Good thing that they understood my experience and fix that with no fuss. I have been back couple more times and everything was great.“

“Man I bought some food today from this truck and I swear I haven’t had anything like this since I moved up here 6 years ago. Being from the Caribbean it’s hard finding authentic Caribbean food and this is top tier. 10/10“

“We really enjoyed our food and will definitely return for more!“

“Best bottle shop in the Triangle!!! According to my boyfriend, Bottle Revolution has amazing selection of beer, wine and mead. As someone who does not drink alcohol, I LOVE that Bottle Revolution has an EXCELLENT variety of nonalcoholic options for me . I truly appreciate their inclusivity for us non drinkers. They always having a variety of cool options for me to choose from too!“

“🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟 Margaux’s in Raleigh dazzled me! The outdoor seating set the perfect vibe, and my waiter Bill was phenomenal—attentive, engaging, and professional, just like the whole staff. Every plate was art, every bite divine, and that key lime pie? Pure transcendence. Effervescent culinary journey with next-level flavors—Perfect kickoff to my Labor Day weekend. I’d recommend it in a heartbeat!“

“Visited on a Friday evening with a group of friends, and we had a great time! The place has a fantastic vibe with plenty of seating that’s both relaxed and comfortable. They offer a wide variety of beers, including their own in-house brews, which were definitely worth trying.

One of the highlights was the large screen where we enjoyed a FIFA World Cup match—made the whole experience even more lively and fun. The owner was extremely friendly and accommodating, even taking the time to let us have a quick look at their brewing setup, which was a nice touch.

Overall, a great spot to hang out with friends, enjoy good beer, and catch a game. Highly recommended!“

“Nothing beats the comfort and quality of Bella Monica food! I first dined here in college when I was looking for some eggplant parmesan - since that day 20 years later it’s still my favorite Italian restaurant in Raleigh! Btw their eggplant parmesan uses in house ROASTED eggplant not fried and I cannot explain how delicious it is. I’ve likely tried everything on the menu by this point and not once have I been disappointed.“

“Sea bass, Brussels, potatoes, filet, and dirty martini were fantastic! Will visit again.“

“One of my favorite spots to eat in the Raleigh area. The waitresses are always friendly and knowledgeable. Specifically Ariana, always service with a smile and remembers our entire order. Love her spirit. The food is presented well and always very good!“

“We decided to pop in Good Day Good Night for an after dinner drink. There were 5 of us. We each ordered 1 drink and one person ordered dessert. Her coffee finally arrived, after she finished her dessert. The rest of us had to wait over 30min for our drink. I ordered a White Russian. It was so iced down, the ice had melted and the drink just watery whatever. Our server just acted like we were bothering him, each time we asked about the status of our drink order. My drink was the only mixed drink. The others were a shot of bourbon, and 3 decafs (the coffee was already made) Next time we want to stop somewhere for an after dinner drink, it won't be here.“

“Level7 Rooftop Bar has become one of my favorite places in Raleigh for networking events, sunsets, and pretending I’m far more sophisticated than I actually am while holding a cocktail and staring dramatically at the skyline. 😄

The views are fantastic, especially around sunset. Apparently, I’ve now become “that person” who takes entirely too many sky pictures, but honestly, Raleigh keeps cooperating with these ridiculous sunsets, so I refuse to apologize. 🌅😂

What I really like about this place is the layout. There are so many little seating areas, couches, tables, and tucked-away spaces that it actually makes networking events enjoyable instead of feeling like you’re trapped in a loud convention center fighting for survival and eye contact.

It’s open and social without being obnoxiously loud every time I’ve been there, which means you can actually hear conversations without smiling and nodding while secretly having no idea what someone just said.

The bartenders have always been great and friendly to me.

Now… some of the wait staff? Let’s just say maybe I’ve accidentally caught them on their “I need a vacation immediately” days. 😄 But honestly, we all have those moments, and it’s never been enough to keep me from coming back.

I haven’t eaten there yet, so I can’t speak on the food, but for drinks, views, sunsets, and networking, it’s a really great rooftop spot.

Basically, if you’re looking for a place to meet people, catch a sunset, have a drink, and casually act like your life is very glamorous for a couple hours, this is a solid choice. 😂“

“went to Firebirds in Morrisville for dinner and it was a really solid meal. i got a steak and it was cooked right, had alot of flavor without needing much on it. we also shared an appetizer and it was gone pretty quick.

place was pretty busy but we still got seated without waiting too long. our server Mike was really nice and kept checking in.

food took a little bit but everything came out hot. definitely one of those places ill come back to when i want a good steak.“
