Great spot. Loved it. I had a Whiskey paloma and it was solid. Next I had a paper airplane. It's a really good vibe and all of the drinks were crafted very much at a higher level. I was at the owners were there so have some time I have a conversation with them and they were super nice and friendly. Let us walk around the entire shop and answer all questions and total some history. It's a college vibe but not an undergrad vibe if that makes any sense. You may see some grass students or whatever the case may be, but you wouldn't find a bunch of 19-year-olds piled up in this kind of spot.It used to be small apparently but they expanded it out to a back room and an attic kind of situation. It seems like a attic kickback kind of spot. Really homish or something you will find in a living room. It made it on the top list of speakeasies on Yelp so I had to check it out while I was in the area. I would 100% recommend.
Loved my first time in Belltree! Met Zach and Kyle behind the bar and they did a great job of putting up with me. Zach makes one hell of an Old-fashioned!

Great drinks, nice atmosphere. Zach was a good bartender and made us feel welcome for our first time there. We will be back.

This place has a lot going for it, so let's start with the good: spacious and well designed bar, thoughtful / innovative cocktail menu, and a very cool clientele. Chatting with other customers here was 100% the high point.Here's the bad: the cocktails were barely mediocre, despite being expensive and highly touted. I had two, and while their descriptions were interesting, both turned out unbalanced and with lemon pulp in one and ice shards in the other. This wouldn't bother me at some random bar, but it's unfortunate when it comes from a bartender talking up the cocktail accolades this place has earned. Maybe I came on an off-night, but every other cocktail I got in chapel hill was better than here.
