Merle's Reviews
Went inside first bar was busy so went to outside bar. They had live music and the bartender Mary Lou was the best. Tried a few different cocktails and local cider all delicious. A very charming place.
Small cocktail bar with an excellent selection of bourbons and a cost list that could keep you busy for months.
Didn’t have any food, killing time and stopped in for a beverage . Friendly service (didn’t get names), and the mezcal old fashioned was like sipping a sweet citrus flavored campfire. Very good, wish I would’ve had time to stay for another.

Merle's is a hidden gem in Wilkesboro, offering a cool atmosphere and delicious drinks. The skilled mixologists create innovative cocktails like the Out of Office, Not from around here, and the Merle's Brûlée, using fresh ingredients from their garden. Customers praise the beautiful space, excellent service, and wonderful selection of both alcoholic and non-alcoholic beverages, including mocktails made with the same care as the cocktails. Beer lovers will enjoy the handful of NC drafts available. The venue is laid back, bigger than it looks from the outside, and features a nice patio area, a bar, and multiple cute rooms to hang with friends. Staff is friendly and helpful with menu selections, crafting delicious drinks like the New Fashion and Mezcal Old Fashion. Merle's is a highly recommended spot for a relaxed and enjoyable experience, with reasonably priced cocktails and a welcoming vibe. You can bring food in since they do not have a kitchen, making it a great place for a good craft cocktail after work or a casual hangout.
