This place was amazing from the start. Super friendly staff, my man Stephen was our first server and I’m pretty sure we became best friends for an evening. Drinks were amazing, trust the bartender and take a dealers choice.

Drinks (no food) awesome. Very pleased with the reasonably priced drinks. Good variety of drinks. Decor cool and great little couch and chair spots for more intimate conversations. You may miss the location. A door available in Food Hall but go closer to corner and that metal door is it!!!

I stopped in for a last drink on my way back to a hotel. Oh, I am so wise, because this place was the jam, literally. They had a jazz-like trio throwing down a jazz funk fusion that was awesome.
I had the Todo’s Type and it was hands down the best and most balanced cocktail I had during my seven day road trip through North Carolina. So many other places have cocktails that look good on paper, but are made by bartenders that aren’t in tune with their ingredients. This guy knew what the drink was supposed to taste like. And he was charming on top of it.
Would definitely return.

Tucked behind the bustle of of the Morgan Street Food Hall lies a not-so-secret secret: a whimsical den of gin, absinthe, and mischief. Step through the unassuming door near the buildings corner and find yourself in a moody little lair where botanicals bloom in every glass and green fairies are always welcome. Part apothecary, part speakeasy, all vibes — this tucked-away tipple temple is your reward for being curious.
Blink and you’ll miss it — sneeze and you’ll lose your seat. This cozy little cocktail cave fills up faster than you can say “Negroni, please.” With just enough room for a handful of lucky souls, it’s part bar, part social experiment. Come early, come curious, and be prepared to elbow your way into the best seat you’ll never want to give up.
If you’re in a rush, maybe try...literally anywhere else. Their cocktails take time — because They're busy muddling together timeless classics, like a good Old Fashioned. But hey, perfection can’t be microwaved. Sip slowly, wait longer, and remember: you can’t rush greatness...or them. Cheers!

My wife and I were in town for wedding and decided to have a few drinks before the event. My wife found Aunty Betty’s, great find. Ray, the mixologist did a phenomenal job making our drinks. We requested the liquor and he did the rest. He made some amazing drinks. Definitely going back.

Absolutely incredible cocktails, staff, and vibes. The Phoenix Down gave me life but honestly the best sign of a good cocktail menu is when it's hard to decide. If you're a cocktail fan or just want an absolutely solid place to have a comfortable drink with friends, Aunty Betty's is a MUST.
We had the best time at Aunty Betty’s! My friends and I were visiting Raleigh on a girls trip and stopped in. Ray and Steph were so fun, knowledgeable and talented! I told my server I had never tried absinthe and did not like the taste of Gin and they whipped up one of the best cocktails I’ve ever had using both! We had so much fun here. Seating is comfortable and the atmosphere was vibrant. Ray was happy to educate us on the history of absinthe and how it is made today. 10/10 experience, highly recommend.

Very interesting cocktails. It would be nice if they expanded their offerings. Great service. I love that the drinks are not overly sweet.

Always a pleasant experience.

I've had this place on my list and when we had guests come in town, especially one who loves gin, this was the perfect time to try it out!
As you walk in, it's a cute little place, there were a few seats taken already, we were able to get seated at the bar even with the four of us, although it was hard to talk to each other, sitting next to one another. We liked watching the bartenders do their thing at the bar and they were knowledgeable about all kinds of drinks.
While our time there was short as we had dinner reservations, we had a good night. This is definitely a place we'd want to come back to.

Our large party loved this place. Simply fantastic mixologist and cool server. They have comfortable couches to sit in or you can sit at the bar. They can make any drink you could imagine or you can do like we did and do what they call “dealers choice” and let him make the drink that he thinks you will enjoy the best. Wonderful experience. Highly recommend.
