Was looking for a place to chill & have drinks on a Saturday & found this bar on tiktok. Wasn't busy upon arrival but there was a sign that they'd have karaoke so decided too stay. The drinks were great! I had a good time & atmosphere was really chill.

6 stars was my experience at killjoy. I ordered the waitress’s recommendations and she brought us the most commonly ordered food and booze that they had, and it was delicious. Mhm. Wish I had service like this at my place!

Cute, creative, and balanced cocktails. They have a great social media presence as well. You can tell they try to curate a good experience! The decor for February is also adorable.

Only feedback I could give is maybe turn the lights down, and the music up! :) cheers

The lounge has a cool vibe, but the service was just okay. I left a tip, but honestly, I didn’t feel compelled to—drinks felt overpriced for what they were, and nothing about the service stood out. Not a huge deal, but if a cocktail bar makes you order at the bar, there should be a designated spot for it. Otherwise, it’s awkward trying to squeeze between people sitting there. Something as simple as moving a barstool to create a walk-up space would fix that. I’d consider going back if the overall value improved.

Kenz is an absolute STAR!!!! I rolled in on a rainy Sunday evening and her mixology skills and friendly aura were an instant mood-booster! Shoutout to her, Kat, and the entire Killjoy staff for running Raleigh’s best cocktail bar! Every season they bring their best creativity to a delicious menu of drinks that makes this place a neighborhood staple!
Are you looking for an easily-accessible, aesthetically-charming and unique space to kick back and enjoy a delicious cocktail? Look absolutely no further!

Attended a Valentine's Day R&B event here. The atmosphere is vibe! Very aesthetically pleasing! Lots of cute places to take pics. Three stars for service because one of the bartenders was very rude.

Will definitely visit again when Shaun Henny hosts and DJ Jmar is spinning. Shaun Henny's staff and security were welcoming and friendly.
