35 Best Wine Bars in Raleigh

“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.“

“Cool little place to meet friends at for a quick bite. We had the Bruschetta board which we were able to choose what kind we wanted and mix flavors. We also had the meatballs and they were awesome. So rich and flavorful. The service was great as well. I'd return to try something different.“

“Amazing experience, they made a drink I’ve been trying to try for ages but haven’t been able to get anywhere else just off of the recipe. Cool chill environment with music and games, never too crowded. Jack and Alex were amazing and so helpful, they really made my groups night. Would absolutely recommend!“

“We recently went to Brodeto to discover what all of the hype was about. From the minute we walked into the restaurant until the moment we walked out, I have nothing but great things to say about this restaurant. i honestly believe it was one of the best dining experiences I have ever had. The food is awesome and the staff was spot on in every aspect. I can only hope that everyone has the same experience that I was able to witness.“

“We like going there to enjoy the concise, but well-chosen list of wines by the glass. Sometimes a bit crowded, with frequent private events, but always worth a look. Have not tried any food items. Staff is helpful and knowledgeable. If RIW development continues, additional parking will be needed before too long.“

“Great food, cocktails & service!“

“Live music 🎶, Great 🍺 🍹and the best Wings in Raleigh, hands down!!! You won’t be disappointed at this place! Come in during the week for some music 🎵 bingo or karaoke 🎤.“

“This place was fantastic! We came here for our anniversary and Vidrio took great care of us. The food was spectacular. The drinks were immaculate. And our server, Nick, was absolutely the best and took great care of us. Highly recommend coming here! A hidden jewel on Glenwood. And what a great interior design!“

“Quick friendly service… And an amazing menu to choose from… I had the tomato, pimento cheese pie and the deviled eggs, and they were both absolutely fantastic… I highly recommend!“

“The best place in Raleigh! I can’t recommend Barcelona enough! Mark Figueroa is awesome! He makes a difference, always making us feel welcome. The food is delicious! I’m hi Spanish and it’s like diving back to Spain. Today is Valentine’s Day and I have 3 friends coming for the first time! Im excited for them to experience the best of Raleigh!!!“

“Have been wanting to try this little spot! Cool spot inside & out back patio area. Drinks were good! Great customer service too! Definitely will be back soon!“

“Seasons 52 is one of the restaurants we end up going to pretty often in the Raleigh area, and it’s still one of our favorites. The menu is great, the prices are solid, and the atmosphere is comfortable and welcoming. The place is always clean and well-kept, and the host staff and servers are consistently friendly, attentive, and efficient. All the servers we have had at Seasons 52 have been great, but if you happen to get P.J., you’re in for an especially good experience.

The menu and wine list have plenty of variety to fit most tastes. If you’re a big steak lover, you might wish there were a few more beef options, but what they do offer is well-prepared and always satisfying. Whether you’re in the mood for seafood, chicken, salads, or seasonal dishes, there’s really something for everyone.

Overall, Seasons 52 is a great go-to spot in Raleigh for reliably good food, attentive service, and a relaxed, easy dining experience.“

“Great beer and even better vibes. Super cool collection of regulars always down for a fun conversation and very friend bartenders. Solid selection of drinks both on tap and in the fridge. I’ll definitely be making this a regular Raleigh stop in the future!“

“Amazing staff, excellent collection of beer and wine, and great event nights.“

“This is one of the coziest scenes I have experienced here in North Carolina. I've lived here for aomost 5 years! The people and the vibe are extremely relaxed. Such a chill place with great beer( I am not a beer drinker bit I really like theirs!!!) They bring in great vendors for a variety of food on Thursdays and the service from the bartender, Gabz is super fun behind the bar. PS... bring your dog and kids! Totally family friendly! Great crowd!!“

“Great bourbon selection including vintage whiskey. The craft cocktails are amazing! Beautiful and masculine decor!“

“Great Green Bay packer bar!“

“Man I bought some food today from this truck and I swear I haven’t had anything like this since I moved up here 6 years ago. Being from the Caribbean it’s hard finding authentic Caribbean food and this is top tier. 10/10“

“Best bottle shop in the Triangle!!! According to my boyfriend, Bottle Revolution has amazing selection of beer, wine and mead. As someone who does not drink alcohol, I LOVE that Bottle Revolution has an EXCELLENT variety of nonalcoholic options for me . I truly appreciate their inclusivity for us non drinkers. They always having a variety of cool options for me to choose from too!“

“Live music 🎶, Great 🍺 🍹and the best Wings in Raleigh, hands down!!! You won’t be disappointed at this place! Come in during the week for some music 🎵 bingo or karaoke 🎤.“

“The food and wine were excellent but the prices were a bit high. I loved the fact that they had wines from all over and they could pair them with the food however our waitress barely said anything and didn’t seem that knowledgeable. We waited a long time to be seated.“

“Wow! This was amazing! I’ve been chasing a quiche as good as one I had in Colmar, France years ago and this was it!!! I will dream of this quiche. Cannot recommend enough! Also had the best iced tea I’ve ever had at a restaurant. My husband got the French Toast and said it was amazing as well! The service was great, the restaurant was a great atmosphere and the accommodation for children was nice! We will be back many times!“

“We really enjoyed our food and will definitely return for more!“

“I’ve been there for some date nights and friend’s party. For the very first time, it’s a long wait for my stake to come out. Then it’s a lot of tendon on that steak to the point I could not chew and I request a new piece. Good thing that they understood my experience and fix that with no fuss. I have been back couple more times and everything was great.“

“Awesome place, delicious food and super friendly staff!“

“🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟 Margaux’s in Raleigh dazzled me! The outdoor seating set the perfect vibe, and my waiter Bill was phenomenal—attentive, engaging, and professional, just like the whole staff. Every plate was art, every bite divine, and that key lime pie? Pure transcendence. Effervescent culinary journey with next-level flavors—Perfect kickoff to my Labor Day weekend. I’d recommend it in a heartbeat!“

“Such a great place. So yummy and friendly :)“

“I have been to 100 Pho restaurants. This was clearly the best pho restaurant I have ever been to. I highly recommend stopping by and ordering pho.“

“Nothing beats the comfort and quality of Bella Monica food! I first dined here in college when I was looking for some eggplant parmesan - since that day 20 years later it’s still my favorite Italian restaurant in Raleigh! Btw their eggplant parmesan uses in house ROASTED eggplant not fried and I cannot explain how delicious it is. I’ve likely tried everything on the menu by this point and not once have I been disappointed.“

“Sea bass, Brussels, potatoes, filet, and dirty martini were fantastic! Will visit again.“

“One of my favorite spots to eat in the Raleigh area. The waitresses are always friendly and knowledgeable. Specifically Ariana, always service with a smile and remembers our entire order. Love her spirit. The food is presented well and always very good!“

“We decided to pop in Good Day Good Night for an after dinner drink. There were 5 of us. We each ordered 1 drink and one person ordered dessert. Her coffee finally arrived, after she finished her dessert. The rest of us had to wait over 30min for our drink. I ordered a White Russian. It was so iced down, the ice had melted and the drink just watery whatever. Our server just acted like we were bothering him, each time we asked about the status of our drink order. My drink was the only mixed drink. The others were a shot of bourbon, and 3 decafs (the coffee was already made) Next time we want to stop somewhere for an after dinner drink, it won't be here.“

“Level7 Rooftop Bar has become one of my favorite places in Raleigh for networking events, sunsets, and pretending I’m far more sophisticated than I actually am while holding a cocktail and staring dramatically at the skyline. 😄

The views are fantastic, especially around sunset. Apparently, I’ve now become “that person” who takes entirely too many sky pictures, but honestly, Raleigh keeps cooperating with these ridiculous sunsets, so I refuse to apologize. 🌅😂

What I really like about this place is the layout. There are so many little seating areas, couches, tables, and tucked-away spaces that it actually makes networking events enjoyable instead of feeling like you’re trapped in a loud convention center fighting for survival and eye contact.

It’s open and social without being obnoxiously loud every time I’ve been there, which means you can actually hear conversations without smiling and nodding while secretly having no idea what someone just said.

The bartenders have always been great and friendly to me.

Now… some of the wait staff? Let’s just say maybe I’ve accidentally caught them on their “I need a vacation immediately” days. 😄 But honestly, we all have those moments, and it’s never been enough to keep me from coming back.

I haven’t eaten there yet, so I can’t speak on the food, but for drinks, views, sunsets, and networking, it’s a really great rooftop spot.

Basically, if you’re looking for a place to meet people, catch a sunset, have a drink, and casually act like your life is very glamorous for a couple hours, this is a solid choice. 😂“
