I was at the owners were there so have some time I have a conversation with them and they were super nice and friendly. Let us walk around the entire shop and answer all questions and total some history. It's a college vibe but not an undergrad vibe if that makes any sense. You may see some grass students or whatever the case may be, but you wouldn't find a bunch of 19-year-olds piled up in this kind of spot. It used to be small apparently but they expanded it out to a back room and an attic kind of situation. It seems like a attic kickback kind of spot. Really homish or something you will find in a living room. It made it on the top list of speakeasies on Yelp so I had to check it out while I was in the area. I would 100% recommend.

Offering a refined escape from the college bar scene that dominates Franklin Street, The Crunkleton blends a superb selection of top-shelf liquors with expert mixologists, friendly service and a dapper decor you won't want to leave. Wait times at the bar can be long at peak hours, and there's a sizeable crowd almost every night of the week. But find a spot at the bar or in one of the comfortable leather booths along the wall, order a classic Old Fashioned or Bourbon Bramble, and settle in to enjoy one of the best cocktails around. A Chapel Hill institution, the Crunkleton is worth a drive from anywhere in the Triangle, and a must for anyone visiting this fantastic college town.

My husband and I absolutely love Atlas Bar. It's close to our jobs so it's a great place to grab a…read morecocktail and wait for traffic to mellow. If you're looking for classic or unique craft cocktails, look no further. Atlas Bar rotates their menu seasonally (and then some). I've had summer cocktails, tea inspired cocktails, and recently fall (or Thanksgiving) themed cocktails. There are sweet and not so sweet and even savory choices. Don't be scared away from the more unique cocktails such as the "hot chicken"or the "cornbread." The cornbread cocktail was honey-butter fat-washed mellowcorn, nixta corn liqueur, honey-nixta foam and a quick favorite. The decor is funky and classy at the same time. The bartenders are chill and nice. You can park behind the building or in the lot next to Armadillo Grill (not Carr Mill Mall!). You can order small bites from ACME and all options are delicious.

The only way that I can see being justified eating here is if you're not sober enough to distinguish quality food. When I came in, I wasn't greeted. The person at the bar seemed a bit apathetic quite frankly. It was also uncomfortably cold inside. I ordered fries, carnitas tacos, and a Shirley temple. My Shirley temple didn't have any cherries in it, the fries were overly garlicky, and the tacos were extremely bland. I have to believe the meat on the tacos hadn't been seasoned at all. I've never had worse tacos.

Unfortunately, when we returned the bar was quite full and very much focused on the UNC basketball game, so we pulled up to the stools along the window and ordered our drinks. Although room is tight, it was a comfortable and friendly environment, they even had an extensive selection of games, to include many board games. The bartender was an absolute sweetheart and didn't skip a beat. We finally saw a vacancy at the bar continued drinks from there. This great little neighborhood bar makes it easy to sit and meet new people, play a few games and enjoy a few drinks, what more could you ask for? Cheers!

That being said, I would have appreciated games like skee ball, basketball, etc. Also, the games do cost tokens, which is fair enough, but it was a little frustrating that a couple of the machines I tried out weren't well maintained. In both cases, the joysticks were wonky and certain directions didn't work very well. Of course, there's a bar as well, but I ended up just playing the games. It looked like there was a pretty decent selection of beer and liquor, which is nice. Overall, it wasn't a terrible experience, and it may be the best arcade in Chapel Hill (not sure!) but I think you can find better arcade experiences in Raleigh / Durham.

For some reason I didn't expect the restaurant to have a layout like it did (it was a bit small) but nevertheless, I was glad to get a table and have a good experience, even though we didn't have a reservation. Parking was easy also, as there is a nearby parking garage just a few steps over, that was close and plentiful. That accessibility easily takes away a bit of anxiety, because many times when a restaurant is in Chapel Hill, you worry if you'll ever find a spot on Franklin, especially on the weekends. Fortunately, that is not a problem here. I ordered Hamachi and sushi rolls, while my guests had a rice dish, ramen and sushi - all of which was delicious. The server was very attentive and kind - we had such a great experience and will be back!
