The Hippo is a fun, eclectic, and welcoming wine bar in Downtown Raleigh. The space offers a cozy atmosphere, with a small selection of wines by the glass, along with a few beers and ciders. The staff is friendly and knowledgeable, always ready to recommend wines that match the mood and budget. They also sell nuts, crackers, and cheese to enjoy with the drinks. A small corkage fee applies if you bring a bottle. The atmosphere is lovely, making it a great spot for a night out, a quick wine stop, or even for a book club gathering. Visitors have described the owner and staff as super nice, and the place as a hidden gem with a great vibe and excellent wine offerings.
