Absolutely loved the Vibes! The owner was super chill and my sister and I had a great time chatting with him while drinking wine. They have nuts and yummy crackers and cheese for purchase as well.

If you're in the area, The Hippo Wine Bar & Shop is a must! The atmosphere is lovely, the wine offerings are excellent, and Andre (the manager) is super nice. It was an absolute delight to pop in for a glass of wine to get out of the rain. Certainly didn't expect to stumble upon such a gem!

The vibes are as sweet as the wine! An excellent addition to Raleigh’s growing third spaces to relax and build community :)

The CUTEST place ever. Won’t try to scam you into spending 800$ on a bottle of wine. Truly knowledgable staff and ever so welcoming :)

Small wine bar with bottles to take home also. Friendly staff: much more approachable than other wine bars in the area.

Their sign says they should be open but they're not. I really wanted to shop local but now I have to drive to a big grocery store.

Cute wine spot, the selection of wines to sit and have by the glass was a bit underwhelming, but the wine was good. The interior is cute and could use some more sound buffering and decor. The Hippo is worth a stop in.
