But it was mid, I got the tuna, salmon, scallop, and crab handroll combo set. I sat at the bar and I meet a new person. But the ramen was the highlight and the price was great and so was the sake.

“If you’re ever at The Avenue in Raleigh, you have to grab a drink from Molly! She’s easily one of the best bartenders I’ve ever come across — hardworking, experienced, and lightning-fast behind the bar. No matter how busy it gets, she somehow remembers everyone’s order and makes you feel like a priority. On top of that, she’s incredibly friendly, beautiful, and has an amazing energy that makes the whole atmosphere even better.

Molly is the kind of bartender who keeps people coming back. Highly recommend stopping by and seeing her in action!“
