25 Best Bars near Carrboro

“Best place for a cocktail after dinner“

“Amazing quality drinks for a very reasonable price :-) The bartenders are very attentive, even when it’s busy. The menu is well balanced (seems to change regularly?) and it’s obvious they put a lot of thought into making unique drinks. On top of all that, very friendly, cozy and welcoming atmosphere, great art and comfy seating :-)“

“I love it here and enjoy all the seating and great beer selection. There is often good music playing. Friendly environment for children, as well. Good place for a date or playing games. I took a star off because the small patio is often overtaken by people smoking. It ruins the entire patio area. I have seen me and others flee when others light up. I wish this was a non smoking place!“

“A divey local bar in the best possible way. It has lots of character, in a 100 year old storefront in the center of Carrboro. If you have friends visiting from bland suburban lands, take them here for character. The drinks are great, the pours are generous. No kitchen and no food“

“I love this kava bar. I moved up from Florida which is covered in kava bars, so I was looking for a place to make me feel at home like I did at my favorite kava bar in Florida, Krave gives me the same vibes. I absolutely love this place, the bartenders are absolutely amazing as are the other customers!! Absolutely amazing.“

“Best bar in Chapel Hill. Wide selection of beers and games, awesome staff, and just overall my favorite place to hang out.“

“Carrboro’s best kept secret. Joe is a great bartender so the cocktails are on point and the food is too.“

“A very cool spot, fun seating and good vibes. However, the music felt like a bank robbery/heist montage soundtrack. Very fast and energizing while the space suggested a more chill vibe from just the looks. Will try again in hopes for a more laid back musical vibe that matches the overall atmosphere.“

“We stopped in before a show at Cats cradle and loved it. The smash burgers were delicious and my husband enjoyed the pretzel. I loved that they had house made seltzer water with syrups of your choice, and the vibes were great. Such a great causal spot. Would be great to come back and meet up with friends but unfortunately we are not from the area.“

“Great atmosphere fun, friendly staff. Drinks were on point. We loved the Apple Bottom Jeans and Winter Crème Brûlée both were absolutely delish😋“

“Awesome beer selection, atmosphere & live music!“

“Lovely bar with delicious beers. Lots of games and comfy seating and dog-friendly!“

“Classic roadhouse and local bar. I've seen some great bands perform here as well. I especially love the ability to wander around the property, or chill outside on a summer night. Solid staff & easy going people.“

“The owners, staff, regular patrons and newer customers are what Durham and Orange County are all about..Fun, Friends, and an owner who can win all dance contests that are held to raise money for the many different charities and community needs that need local support. Thank you, Milkcarton“

“Unique atmosphere and people!“

“What a great venue! Loud and rocking, great patrons and Fuji, the co-owner and bar tender is such a nice guy! There was plenty of space for my wheelchair and I had a great view in spite of a sold out crowd. Band was fantastic, loud and just as energetic as the crowd. Can’t wait to come back for more music from up and coming bands. Fairly priced tickets, fairly priced drinks and an amazing staff. It’s a standing O from this music lover. Felt like home as soon as I got inside. I miss the small, intimate venues I used to frequent in NY/NJ and I think I found my new go to for a great night out. Thanks Fuji and 506!“

“We had such a great experience. Lizz was our server and she was amazing!!! This was our family’s first time here and we were celebrating our son for earning straight A’s on his report card. They gave him the most delicious donuts and Lizz made really excellent dish recommendations. We will return for sure!!“

“In my opinion the best Indian restaurant in our area. The food was interesting and well cooked. We will visit again.“

“This place has something for everyone! Will definitely come again.“

“Great people, dog friendly, good selections on tap and takeaway. 🍻🐾😎“

“The ultra laid-back open air beer garden in Chapel Hill. Nostalgia central for alumni since 1972.“

“Definitely recommend Doyle's! Great place and great people. Get you pool game on or just hang out at the bar if that's your thing. The bar tender is awesome!“

“Amazing bar. Fantastic bartenders. 1/2 off for everybody working their way up through the service industry.“

“It was our first time going today and it certainly won't be the last! we loved everything about this place. The staff is wonderful, helpful, and very kind. she explained everything well and let us extend our reservation for another hour. Prices are very reasonable especially if you come with friends and split. the room was very comfortable and we all enjoyed having fun together.“
