Love Junction West for their cocktails and fun night out with friends, but I'm specifically writing this review as how great Junction West is as a wedding/event venue. I'm a wedding photographer, so I've seen a lot of venues, and Junction West is the perfect space for any couple looking for a downtown Raleigh venue. Multiple ceremony location options, great staff, and obviously great cocktails!And for portraits, Junction West's location in the warehouse district is perfect!

I had such a pleasant experience with the bar staff while visiting Junction West. I mentioned that I was out of town and asked for recommendations and the Bartender took the time to go over the menu and even offered a sample. Great service goes a long way. Looking forward to paying another visit in the future.

Had a terrible experience with the older guy with the longer hair. He seemed like it was a chore everytime we ordered a drink. Very unfortunate as we love coming here & Lisa is amazing!

Lovely bar, beautiful interior with range of seating options. Service is excellent, pleasant to chat with, attentive and they know how to make a very good cocktail. Excellent range of custom and classic cocktails, nice liquor list and great beer selection. I really loved the elderflower spritz, currently being made with dragonfruit. They have wines but I didn't pay attention to the offerings so cannot review that selection.

What to do when your train is 2 hrs delayed? We'll find a bar in the nearby area, obviously. Thankfully this one was an easy 2 min walk away. It was absolutely beautiful inside. Very cool compared to the hot outdoors and very clean and well decorated. The vibes were excellent. The bartender was super nice and we had great convos. He gave good recommendations too. I enjoyed two different ciders: A rose cider and then another dry cider. A great lil spot to wait for the train.

I loved every moment here. Beautiful, spacious, clean, friendly and an overall great experience!

Junction West is a giant white room with no discerning features, in the middle of an industrial neighborhood in transition. Seems very out of place. Bartenders seemed to have that sort of intentional IDGAF attitude that comes along with a sense of pretentiousness that I assume some people aspire to. Not my cup of tea. Drink selection itself was fine also, nothing special, and no reason to go here specifically. If you're going to Junction West, you're going for the vibe, and it's not a vibe I enjoy.

Very clean, modern, and welcoming bar. I barely even drink but I would go back.

We got married at Junctions West and I don't have enough words to describe how amazing the event space, staff and atmosphere were! We instantly fell in love with the space the moment we visited and didn't look any further for a venue! And Nikki, their event coordinator, went above and beyond to work with us to plan the perfect event! I loved working with Nikki so much and she was so excited for us and willing to do anything on the day of the event. the space is perfect if you're looking for a venue for both your ceremony and reception, or just reception. The space is also so gorgeous on it's own that very little decorations are needed! I can't recommend Junction West enough for a wedding, or for just a cocktail (best cocktail bar in Raleigh!)
Clean, simple, reasonably priced and very nice bartenders. Their outdoor seating area was spacious and comfortable with plenty of shade and options for sitting. We had a fantastic time!

"Oh wow! Another bar! And in a warehouse! How original!!" Does this place have unlimited breadsticks? No. Does this place have unlimited soup and salad? No. People please, just skip and head to Olive Garden.

Chill clean sunny modern space to have a brew. Great location but at the edge of things so kind of a best little secret.

Junction West is a perfect little bar located in a busy part of raleigh. Inside it is very vibrant, the vibe is really cool. The outdoor seating is great for small parties, we had a group of 10 and we were able to rearrange furniture to fit everyone. Street parking is free on the weekends if you're lucky enough to snag a spot. Otherwise there's a parking lot right next to Junction for around $8 for 2 hrs. If you're looking for a place to grab food, there are multiple restaurants in the area to try out. Overall it's a great little spot to grab cocktails or beers.

Super airy and open. Great bar space and location in DT Raleigh. Nice menu with lots of fruity, summery cocktails!
