“Overall great restaurant for vegans. But, there is a seating problem. Students have one coffee sit at a table for hours and stay too long preventing folks who would like to sit and eat at the restaurant. Starbucks had the same problem in small college towns. Some of the Starbucks created a long table with chairs or benches with computer hook ups. Then the single coffee drinkers were encouraged to use that space. Not a bad idea. This will not stop me from going to Cocos , I just have to pick my time carefully.“

“The Bento box was a fun appetizer and pairing the salt and pepper shrimp was a great move! Good tastes, and fun to eat with my partner! The pork belly was complimented by yummy crisp cabbage and carrots that were full of flavor. The peashoot dumplings didn't live up to the hype, kind of tasteless and a one dimension flavor note....even the pea sauce was salty and missing a lift... maybe a touch of acidity needed! We have been waiting to come here for 6 years and it was a fun menu! Singha beer chased everything down well and the cocktail, the Porchlight, were great complements to the meal. We will come back!“

“I found this place to be very cozy with a creative menu and lovely cocktails. The bartender was super accommodating-I wanted a French Martini but they didn’t have Chambourd, so he used their house made blackberry syrup. Together, we created a delicious new cocktail! I got the beet salad and tofu skewers and both were delicious! Check them out!“

Local 506 Bar • $
506 W Franklin St, Chapel Hill

“I love the Local 506! There's a great pizza place next to it, and whenever me and my friends and I see a show here, we stop next door and grab pizza and have some before the show. Local 506 is a very low-key spot. They have drinks and a few seats. The stage is a good height, and you can see everything on the stage pretty well. I really like how intimate the space is, I always get to speak with the musicians after the show, which is awesome. Can't wait to go to another show here.“

PiggyBack Bar • $$
630 Weaver Dairy Rd #102, Chapel Hill

“This is a go-to place for my wife and I on date night. It's small and intimate, and has a great cocktail menu. My wife likes the Bee's Knees. I usually go for a beer or two from their carefully curated draft list. They've got a nice outdoor space, and you can order food that is delivered to you from The Pig, which is amazing! We recommend a plate of BBQ Nachos. There is, maybe, no better bar food in existence.“

Lapin Bleu (Blue) Bar • $
106A N Graham St, Chapel Hill

“Neat little dive bar on the Carrboro Chapel Hill borderline. Next door to Rumors (where you can resell clothing) which is why I suggest if you're waiting while clothes are getting checked out then heading on in here to have a drink while you wait. They have college basketball on right now GO HEELS ?? and there's quite a few fellow Carolina fans here to cheer and jeer with! Lapin Bleu also has live music so come on down, grab a bar stool and a cold drink and make sure to tip your bartenders!Kid-friendliness: Bring them kiddos in Mom and Dad“

Lot of Beer

“The Outdoor Space is a Chapel Hill Community Treasure. 5 stars.Indoors I can touch the ceilings. Thats 2 stars.This is an Undergraduate Staple along with Pantana Bobs when I was around 25 Years ago. A must visit bar while you are in Chapel Hill to meet undergrads.The smallest draft beer is 32oz.... the signature cup of a black out night to come.Overall it gets 4 stars, this was a hard decision. The bar is a 3. Just know biger better bars and resturants lie ahead in your future!The outdoor area under the Magnolia Trees is special. As I noticed all the needed new multi family investment next door built 50' high. I bumped my rating to a 4 star because of the location and Trees and the value of the land.This is a "if its not broke dont fix" I get it. However I would add landscaping and more lots outdoor lighting. Outdoor area needs $10,000 investmest.“

“Absolutely one of the best Indian places around. The chicken tikka masala is really incredible, but THIS: we tried a new thing tonight called Masala navratan tartlets were absolutely unbelievable. It is this light flaky pastry bite filled with well flavored vegetables alongside dipping sauces. It is an absolute must to try. And they have a massive outdoor covered seating area, alongside an uncovered outdoor eating area. The atmosphere and food all around make for an excellent place without doubt.“
