Absolutely stay away. The bartender was ridiculous. We sat at the bar and for 15 minutes we waited to get a drink while watching groups of women walk in and get drinks after having been there for 2 seconds. Clearly they only cater to a certain clientele. Just sad and ridiculous
I fashion myself something of a gin connoisseur and I found the negroni and gin rickey made by Louis possibly my best ever

Actually really enjoyed. Got the elderflower signature drink. Ginger forward but super nice. The cucumber was really good. It’s a bit pricy, $15 per drink. But ambient atmosphere for a conversation. Empty on a Sunday at 7p but got populated by 8:30. Sophisticated vibe. Great lighting.

Before the tip
F me for not checking the prices before ordering but I would never guess I'd be spending more for drinks than you could in the most expensive cities in the world
Staff nice but this place is for the ultra wealthy or something

Best Manhattan I’ve ever seen poured. Bartender was spending time w/ a dude who wanted to get deep into exploring new bourbons; he knew them all. Atmosphere is glorious; relaxed but nice (picture nicely worn leather easy chair). The open window onto Franklin St. w/ chairs/couches set up appropriately makes for great people watching. And the playlist, so good. Why aren’t you here right now?

This is an old man bar. I mean that affectionately The bar is heavy and high and made me feel like a midget. The older man next to me wanted to mansplain touch my leg, and tell tall tales. He paid for our drinks. The bar tender was fine but didn't appear to be waiting on me but rather on him.
Lots of deer on the wall. Lots of brown liquor and it is so loud with the noise males make when in peacock strut.
So the man kept telling the bar tender to make me something sweet to which I had to protest several times and sternly advise him to stop trying to order for me. Let me look at the damn menu and find something that speaks to me.
I ordered "The Bitter Southerner"
It was perfect.

One of the nicest spots in Chapel Hill. It's clean, classy, and elevated. The cocktails are wonderful, and their whisky selection is large! A lot of good, hard to find, rare, and allocated whiskies. Prices can be a little high, but the atmosphere makes it worth it.
The pool table in the back is great! The decor is great! The service is top class! And the drinks are unique and good!
Parking can be difficult to find.
Not kid friendly.
Very Handicap accessible.
Parking: It can be difficult. I always try to find a spot on the street.

They don't serve food, but this bar is a cool vibe and the drinks are delicious too.

Excellent experience all around. Both cocktails were delicious (and large!). My boyfriend got the Painkiller and I got the Bourbon Bramble. The atmosphere is unbeatable, it feels like a cozy hole in the wall tavern. Long live The Crunkleton!

This is a fine bar, but personally I feel it's a little overpriced. I get its trying to be the fancy bar in Chapel hill, but maybe also have higher quality cocktails to match?
