“My man and I went here last weekend for the first time. From the time we entered until we left, we had a phenomenal experience. Our waitress Meredith was attentive, poised and very friendly. The other staff were friendly as well.We ordered calamari for appetizers and salmon+seafood pasta for our main courses. We also had refreshing mocktails. EVERYTHING was delicious and flavorful.The icing on the cake was dining on the rooftop terrace. Although we went during the day, the vibes were definitely there and the views were amazing. We will definitely be back here soon.“
“My first time dining for my husband 50th birthday. Our waitress Destinee was amazing. She provided us with a detailed history of the house where the restaurant is operating out of built in 1879. Destinee made wonderful food recommendations and made our celebration a memorable one. The food was delicious from first course lump crab salad to quail. Our main course dishes were beautiful plated with French influences. Also I have to add their chef is one of the best in the area. We can't wait until our next special celebration. Thanks again!“
“In a time where great food and great service is scarce, this place is a jewel. I chose this place to celebrate a family birthday based on a great word of mouth referral and the birthday girl loves Indian cuisine. The place is beautiful and clean inside! The atmosphere is upscale from decor to lighting. You relax when you walk in. Did I mention the cloth pressed napkins!! What? The music plus at a volume that adds to ambience but not annoyingly loud do you can’t hear each other talk. It is not too bright, but not too dark either. The food was prepare with attention to detail and tasted delicious. You can ask for no spice if you are not into Spicy food. The service is excellent. The servers don’t hover or intrude, but are right on time for your needs. As I mentioned, we celebrated a birthday. I brought a large cupcake and a candle and had it on the table before guests arrived. The server asked if he could plate it in the back for later. I was so happy for the offer. Later, he came out with this amazing long plate with happy birthday written on the plate in rainbow gorgeous writing. He even lite it as he approached the table. Then a happy birthday song began to play over their sound system! It was so thoughtful and added that specialness to the evening that is hard to find today in the service industry. Thank you so much!!!“
“First time there after hearing about it for months. Had the bartender Ray who was super professional, funny, and held a great conversation!! He was really informative about the drinks you order! talked about video games with my boyfriend and I and mentioned the bars gaming nights - we will for sure come back and attend! I ordered the booyah and a custom drink. Tasted amazing and I highly recc!“
“I have never had such an attentive and friendly staff, everyone was so nice and helpful! Everyone worked as a team to give all guests a pleasant experience. I came from out of state to try this place out, and I am so glad I did! Will be a future customer and have already told friends and family about this restaurant!Parking: Plenty of parking and easily accessible.“
“Overall great place to eat, server was friendly and fantastic. One of the few places where I did not have to ask to have my leftovers boxed. She asked and then did it. I appreciate good service. Atmosphere was good, where we were seated was not quite the spot for a business conversation but it worked.“
“I really enjoyed my first time at this food hall. It’s completely different from Morgan st food hall in terms of the atmosphere and food options. Its not as crowded and its not as much noise around you. I was pleased with the space. There is indoor seating with upstairs options and outdoor seating. Food was prepared fast and tasted great“
“Great vibe! Mixologist Jefferson skillfully guided our craft cocktail selections. Impressive knowledge, real ingredients. At his recommendation we grabbed a couple of slices (authentic NY pizza) from Oakwood Pizza Box next door, that did not disappoint!“
“Financial Analyst-Benjah Raphael is extremely great when it comes to trading both forex and crypto currencies, my initial investment of $2,000 made me a return of $26,500 in a week and few days, well for those who intend in earning and also in need of trading information, I advice you reach out to him he is the best and most reliable trader.“
“Had a great dinner with my cousin and her husband Saturday night. I got the Buffalo Chicken Meatballs with Blue Cheese Cream sauce and had it on a bed of the OG Mac N' Cheese... WOW! So good!!! Everyone enjoyed their meal. Great food and service was excellent!!“
“Great location (parking may be hectic but it's available). We recommend the roll called Mrs. Woodbury's Fresh Find. Each fusion sushi is enough for one person (though you may want to add a nigiri or classic roll if you are extra hungry).Dietary restrictions: This is a great place for those with gluten allergy or intolerance. They ask about cross contamination of gluten.“
“Great selection and variety of drinks from light beers and ciders to wines, cocktails, and stouts. Very chill place to grab a drink and hang out. A couple bar tabletop games and arcade machines to choose from as well. Clean area and friendly staff. Will definitely be back!Parking: Big parking garage in short walking distance.“
“Holy crap, this place is amazing! We just moved to the area and I was in search of gluten free treats. Well I found a spot and it did not disappoint. I have never found a cupcake where the texture was still like a regular cake. I'm 100% a fan and will absolutely be going back. I highly recommend!!!“
“Our core sounder oysters were really good and a bonus at the happy hour price. The snapper ceviche is my absolute favorite dish in the Triangle. And as always, our bartender Nick was the best! He's super knowledgeable, friendly, and always fun to talk to. We will be back soon.“
“Family funeral reception dinner went well & we were served graciously and professionally. The reserved room and courtyard was comfortable and pleasant with the fire pits and wicker chairs. The waiters graciously brought some of the chairs from the inside to the outside patio because the weather was so nice.“
“I have only been to PLUS a few times, but every time has been so much fun! Great vibes, great music on the dueling pianos and talented musicians! I even got to try out my singing there once (not my strong point haha). My Belles and I did a dance performance there, around Thanksgiving time last year (Carol of the Belles), and I can not even begin to say enough about the staff, the accomodations, and the absolute joy that filled the room that night. PLUS is a place of happiness and fun, no matter which night of the week!“
“This place is amazing for the service as well as the selection of spirits. They have rare finds that I didn't think was possible in the area. Listen to the bartenders. They turned me on to some Toast brands that were amazing. Try something new and have fun!“
“Was recommended to photograph a boudoir session here by two girlfriends who had stayed. And I loved it so much I booked my husband & myself the honeymoon suite for a romantic night away! This place is just magical and exquisite. The atmosphere was amazing, the staff was so accommodating and kind, and the cocktails at the cocktail bar were just divine. 10/10 recommend and I cannot wait to come back!“
“We had a wonderful time here, it almost feels like you know a little secret when you first show the bouncer your ID an d start walking down stairs. The drinks are perfect, and the vibes are so laid back. There a couple of rooms that feel more secluded, booths for more space, but primarily mostly couches to keep that chill energy while you sip on an amazing drink and catch up with your people, or even do some work like I did. Highly recommend Watts & Ward!“
“Came here for a party, had the place rented out. Service was awesome, the bartender was slinging cocktails just as fast as we could drink em. They made signature cocktails for the party, had personalized graphics on the tvs for the party and everyone mingled and played games and had cake. It was a blast. I'd come here even just to do a casual living room hangout with friends with the added bonus of a bartender. If you want to play a game you don't own and get some friends together, they own it. Get em together here and have some fun.“
“Nice intimate venue. You have a good view of the stage no matter where you are in the venue. The upstairs area allows you to look down on the stage. I've been twice and I'm always checking their calendar for shows I'd like to see. The staff is super nice. I will definitely be back!“
“This place is IT! The drinks were some of the most well-balanced cocktails we've ever had. But the absolutely best was the service from Serena. She is the best bartender in the triangle and makes the visit to Dram worth it! Ensure to try one of her mystery “
“One of the most gastronomically pleasing nights out that we have had in a very long time. My husband and I tried almost everything on the menu and the flavors and execution of each dish were outstanding. The space is also very inviting, comfortable and romantic.“
“We went for a late dinner, and I was so impressed! The chicken and rice soup was good, but I took one bite of the chicken and bacon sandwich one pressed sourdough and abandoned it completely. Wow was the sandwich delicious! I ate every bite and didn’t even offer my husband a taste!“
“Figulina has done an excellent job transforming the Humble Pie space into a pasta-making Mecca. You can watch the chefs hard at work making wells in dough and forming the sheets for ravioli and agnolotti. Our service was a bit spotty but the food was wonderful. We tried the Doppio Ravioli, which was delectable with roasted carrots in half and rabbit confit in the other. The Pappardelle Bolognese was also hearty and flavorful. We also tried the Brussels which are served in a cold salad and the beets with whipped ricotta. My dinner companions did not love the soda bread that came with the lamb rillette but the dish itself was tasty. We will definitely be back for more of the fresh Italian pasta with an English twist!“
“One of the better of many Tex-Mex restaurants in the Raleigh area. Service was excellent, meaning that the wait staff take your orders accurately and deliver food and drink quickly. The food is tasty and the portions are generous. I wish there were a few more choices on the menu. My wife and I plan on going back.“
“We loved their old location at Seaboard and were excited they relocated closer to our home- I was worried it would change and not be as good. Dumb for me to worry because it's as phenomenal as ever. It doesn't matter what they put in their salads- they are always top notch. We love y'all!!“
“Easily the best theater I've ever been too. There's very few people that still appreciate good cinema and Alamo definitely one of those few. They not only show new movies but old movies that you would of never heard of. They have a variety of snacks AND meals that you can enjoy throughout the movie that's brought too you by their wonderful staff. Lastly, they have bottomless popcorn AND drinks (soda) so you're guaranteed to make it through the whole movie with snacks intact. I'd give MORE ? 's if I could.“
“THE best stouts around!!!! Amazing Imperial stouts with so many flavors, but beware!!! They are dangerous with ABV’s near 15% for most of them. Stop by the food hall next door for dinner and drop in for a night cap after. If you’re a beer aficionado, then this is a must stop.“
“I am a bit bias but house of hops is amazing. My neighbor owns it and as a result we're always heading over when we need to stock up on beer. Doesn't matter if it's just a six pack for ourselves or more for a party Keith always has what we're in the mood for. I love this og location and there are a rotating selection f food trucks weekly as well. Highly recommend if you haven't already checked out house of hops!“
“Went for brunch and was so inspired by the banana bread french toast, I went home and made my own. It was a bit dry for my taste, would've preferred they soaked the bread longer to make it a softer more pleasant chew. Also had the steak and eggs. Steak was too chewey. A thin ribeye works better for steak and eggs. Overall satisfied and would like to try more of the money, but I wasn't blown away by anything. The vibe is great, and I enjoyed the different moods different seating areas offered.“
“The people/staff made our night, thank you! In a world where everyone’s so angry it was the most refreshing thing to see people not only have good service but wanting to engage. We had the best time playing games & even more fun joking with staff. Thank you so much!“
“We ate here for our anniversary and really enjoyed it! We made reservations for 2 at the bar because all the table reservations before 9 pm were full, but when we arrived, a table was open and offered to us, which was really nice! (LIkely, we also would have been happy at the bar, but I'm pregnant, so the comfy booth seat was welcome.) The service was superlative, both from our attentive server and others who jumped in any time they walked by and saw something that could be done. The non-alcoholic cocktail was fantastic! Both food and drink menus are curated rather than extensive. We are parents of a small child who rarely get out to restaurants, so when we do go, we love to taste a variety of options on the menu. Your ordering style may vary. For starters, we ordered the yellowfin crudo (a standout and possibly the best dish from my perspective) and crispy porcelet belly (very tasty, although the skin was more tough and chewy than crispy). The manchego-herb biscuits were amazing in taste and texture, like, how do they do that? For entrees, we had the lamb loin and bavette steak. My lamb was nice, but the flavor of the steak dish (my husband's) was unreal. (Normally, I would have ordered the seafood, but the only option was swordfish, and I had already used up my weekly serving of potentially-high-in-mercury seafood with the yellowfin crudo, worth it!) After sharing two appetizers, biscuits, and an entree each, we were really full. However, I had been anticipating the triple cheesecake with rhubarb, so we got a portion to go. It was unusual - very strong on the savory cheese flavor in the cake - but we both really liked it. (Would I have liked more rhubarb? Yes, but I love rhubarb, and not everyone agrees. Rhubarb skeptics, this is a safe dish for you.) Two starters, two entrees, a side, two drinks each, and one dessert put our total just north of $200. Not a huge consideration for us, but it's a small-ish space with dark decor and modern, minimal lighting. I've spoken with others who remembered it as a bit cramped. The music is... not quiet... with prominent bass, but we sat next to each other and were able to talk. We definitely plan to go back. Edited to add: We were also really impressed by the short ticket times! Our food came out very promptly, and we finished three courses and had our take-out dessert ready to go in just over an hour. We also didn't feel rushed, as though we could have lingered without any pressure from the server to free up the table. As folks who no longer get out much, that's a huge plus.“
“Fun dive bar with all walks of life hanging out. Nice selection of alcohol for drinks. Friendly fun staff! Dont wear your best outfits as, unfortunately, some of the local frat guys get a little sloppy. Last visit more than 3 drinks were dumped on me and a friend. (Hint, tighten up guys, offer a drink to those ya covered in yours and let's all just hang out and have fun. Stuff happens but be aware and polite about it)“
“SERVICE/ATMOSPHERE:This place was lovely. All the staff were so sweet and helpful. Definitely a gem in downtown, great for a date or an intimate catch up with an old friend.FOOD:We started with the pimento cheese, local jam, and fig tostadas, which were INCREDIBLE!! A must have if you visit here.I got the portobello mushroom and avocado grilled cheese with tomato soup, which was okay. The cheese and avocado together were a bit heavy. My partner got the burger, which he said was awesome! He said the hand cut fries were very good.OVERALL:We had a lovely time. Shoutout to our server Dvir, impeccable vibes from him.“
“Went to Circa 1888 recently to celebrate a friends birthday and had an awesome time. The drinks are a great price, there are plenty of seating options, and it's not super loud so you can talk to the people you're with. There are a bunch of pool tables but we ended up finding a deck of Uno cards and played that throughout the night. Overall, awesome spot if you're looking for a fun, relaxed bar.“
“My type of ominous basement cocktail bar. It was tucked away off the sidewalk down some stairs, illuminated by the red Foundation light.Dimly lit stone/brick walls with some awesome local artwork throughout. Hefty selection of bottles. I was striking out with too-sweet cocktails throughout my road trip and finally caught a strong old fashioned! The bartender nailed it. Add it to you late night craft cocktail stop.“
“Amazing variety, diverse pursuit of a good time & academically rich clientele environment specializing in NC State’s finest availability - to young adults willing to concentrate their knowledge.Come in, grab a drink, & study hard in this place. If you don’t, I will, frfParking: Free after 8 pm. Park in the honors quadrant lot at NC State, outside of Clark, outward facing away from university, towards Western Blvd. .Well-kept secret, the outer spots are owned by Pullen Park. Free.Kid-friendliness: Located between North Raleigh and a state university.Wheelchair accessibility: Close to main Hillsborough St. sidewalk, obviously worth the 30 ft. push, & door is big enough. So are you!“
“Clockwork is a somewhat hidden gem!! My best friend and I stumbled upon Clockwork after leaving an event nearby hungry, and many of the other businesses in the area we wanted to eat at are closed on Tuesdays. You'd never guess from the outside how cute it is inside. It has a warm, cozy, yet fun feel. We were seated right away and brought menus. The staff was super friendly and super helpful with suggestions. We ordered drinks and entrees. Although small, the menu has something for everyone, from falafel tacos, carne asada tacos, salad to pasta!! And a great note to add, most of their dishes are freshly made in-house each day. I ordered the Carne Asada Tacos, soo good!! My friend had the Chicken Penne Pasta, she loved it. The drinks were perfectly crafted and absolutely yummy. I will definitely be back soon.“
“Saw this place out of the corner of my eye today after having never noticed it over the years (it's a little tucked away). Stopped in on a whim because I like checking out local spots. The place is cozy and casual, with friendly staff and the chili and grilled cheese combo was quite good. I'll be back for the ribs sometime soon.“
“Yang is the best bartender in Raleigh. Great 1st date spot local to downtown Raleigh. Super nostalgic and warm, edgy interior. Nice nods to local writers. Wonderful experience. If you're in Raleigh you need to see this bar. 10 Stars. Thanks Yang!“
“Absolutely horrible, I ordered the pork shank. First it comes out cold and on a cold plate. So I sent it back. Next they bring it back to me and they added some lukewarm aju, now my mash potato have separated... and now i have mash potato soap. The shank was dry as hell and has Absolutely no FLAVOR. Not even salt and pepper!!!. It's like these new chef love to presentation but for get to flavor their food. Very nice plating, but the flavor is nonexistent. But let's be fair, white people don't like their food flavored. And this place makes sure they do not get any flavor at all. I would rather have a meal with flavor than a pretty plate any dayWrong restaurant sorry ?“
“Just drinks, no food, but there is a good pizza place nextdoor. Great vibes. Very beachy feel with good, summer style beers.The games were fun. Very clean. Good bathrooms. Plenty of space and comfortable seating. Easy to talk and not too loud. Chill vibes.Parking: Tons of free parkingKid-friendliness: Kids will like itWheelchair accessibility: No steps. Easy to get in“
“Hadn't been to YH in a long while. Was a busy Sunday afternoon so had to wait a while and waited a bit for our waitress to come but the service was great once it started and the food was very good. I had the Korean BBQ Cheesesteak...didn't eat a lot of the bread, just the toasted part.. It was delicious...as was the Cocacola chocolate dessert! I will definitely go back for those items!Parking: There are a few parking spaces right next to the restaurant but those can fill up quickly. There is a parking deck directly across from the restaurant and a couple others available of you want to enjoy a nice little walk.“
“Come for the great service! Stay for the entertainment! The whole place is such an amazing vibe. Sink into a couch, lounge in an armchair, sit as a group at a table, meander at the bar ... and then there's an outdoor patio!!! There are books & games on the shelves but in most cases, live entertainment of various kinds throughout the week. Small eats menu (I haven't had them yet but the meatballs, when sitting in front of someone three feet away had the best smell!) & lots of drink options.“
“Bri waited on us tonight and was extremely pleasant and checked on us several times to make sure we were enjoying our meal. I was happy to see there was outdoor seating at this location as well. We’ve added Bad Daddy’s at Falls of Neuse to our list of favorites places to eat.“
“Mixerz was the obvious choice for our September 18, 2021 wedding. April was so easy to work with, always had great suggestions, and even helped me narrow down my selections and the quantity of each. Not only were they great in the planning process, but the bartenders went above and beyond on the day-of. As soon as my husband and I sat down for dinner at the reception, the bartender made a special trip to our table to ask if we wanted anything specific to drink. The whole evening, they had a small cooler set aside with our (bride and groom) favorite preferences (a couple of each beer and a bottle of wine) so that if we went for a drink, they’d never run out of what we wanted. At the end of the night, the bartenders sent us off for our exit with a complimentary bottle of champagne to enjoy. They also did a great job accommodating our non-alcoholic preferences like soda and water behind the bar which I appreciated. If you’re planning a wedding or event, sincerely look no further. The price was extremely reasonable for the excellent service they provided and they truly love what they do! Of all the wedding vendors we used, Mixerz was one of the best. Thanks April!“
“To describe the atmosphere is very difficult. Imagine if you walk in to a pub and you can see that the owners poured their heart and soul into creating an environment that would promote community and love of futbol, beer, and positivity. Want to learn more about beer? Want to learn more about soccer? Want to walk out of a place feeling better than when you walked in? This is that kind of place. I have flirted with moving downtown and yet I am walking distance to the Winchester. I will most likely stay anchored close to my watering hole. "That's right it's better than yours. Damn right it's better than yours."“
“In a quaint town where whispers of hops blend with cheer,Lies a haven of brews, a place dear,Where the clinking of glasses sings a tune so clear,And the essence of camaraderie is always near.Here at the craft beer shop, the heart finds its peer,Every face tells a story, every cheer rings sincere.Amidst the tapestry of faces, Jason’s shines bright,A maestro of malts, in the soft lantern light.Once a healer of bodies, now a brewer of night,His laughter is medicine, in the amber glow, bright.He’s traded his stethoscope for craft beer flights,Now he prescribes pints of joy, and tales light.On Wednesdays, the tavern breathes a jovial sphere,The week’s woes dissolve in the frothy veneer.Jason’s place is a magnet, drawing kindred spirits near,A medley of souls, their stories to share.The air buzzes with banter, friendship’s sweet cheer,Every face is a narrative, waiting to share,In the ale-induced warmth, camaraderie appears,And the world outside pauses, as if to revere.Here, the heart finds solace, the soul, its frontier,In the echoes of laughter, life’s troubles veer.With each pour, with each toast, bonds endear,In the realm of hops, friendship’s pathway is clear.So, here’s to Jason’s craft beer shop, where stories peer,Through the amber hue, life’s essence, we revere,Cheers to the serenity found here,To the blend of souls, to the cheer we hold dear.“
“This was our first experience at axe throwing and it will not be our last. The staff was great and Phillip was the best instructor!!! I thought this was going to be a simple stress reliever, but it turned out to be so much more! I can’t wait to return.“
