Staff was very friendly. Plenty of seating. Wine was limited in selection. Healthy pours. Affordable. The cheese selection was ok nothing amazing. Love the idea of supporting local businesses read more

I could be biased because Amberly Local is so close to home. But wow, the whole experience was amazing. I loved how chill this bar was -- the drinks were good, the charcuterie was affordable, and it was very casual. I just saw neighbors lounging and having a drink after work. The staff were friendly, and because they kept the side door open, we felt a nice breeze. I definitely love this spot and have been back multiple times since my first visit. read more

Amberly Local - Pear & Pecan Salad, Meat & Cheese Board - Bars Near Me - Cary, North Carolina

Worth it with a play and save coupon. I had. Nothing gf except for salad. It was kind of small but tastes ok with plenty of pecans and the pear slices on top was delicous. Bread (roll) for turkey sandwich just not good, meat was good but pickle was awful - a little spicy. Small plastic glasses for soda. I can imagine if we were drinking beer it would be very nice. There are 24 beers on tap and a pretty good wine selection. No Kombucha. There are garage type glass doors that open with seating outside. I imagine it's a hoping place at night. read more

Came here for a evening beer and snack and really enjoyed myself! It's a cool little bar with a couple TVs and a decent beer selection. I ended up getting a hot dog with some dressed greens for food, and they were pretty tasty. It's not gourmet or anything but it got the job done :) I would definitely come back here for a chill outing. read more

Yelp let me down. We stopped by around 3:30 between baseball games for sandwiches. It took probably 15 minutes to get sandwiches; and they weren't anything special.., mine was actually the most boring turkey sandwich I've ever had... so dry I had to drink water to get it down. My son and husband had Italian sandwiches and said they were fine but nothing to write home about. I chose the place for a group of 8 and I was embarrassed. It was cute and had lots of alcohol options, but since we were there for food, we didn't get to experience the beverage options. Maybe if we had it would've been better. If the food hadn't been so expensive, I probably would give it three stars, but at this price, I expected amazing sandwiches. We spent over $40 for three mediocre subs. read more

Nothing but good vibes, foods and drinks here! I love how they have lots of varied seating and a great outdoor space. It's perfect for a large group or an intimate date night. They know their beer and wine! Great selection... and the food is phenomenal too! The meat and cheese board was my favorite! read more

Lots of beers on tap. Friendly and fast service. The food was just ok. We had the Italian and it was a lot of not so great bread. We also had the Cuban, which was good and I would get again. Had the tomato and cucumber salad as my side and came in a tiny condiment cup (approx. 1 tbsp). Recommend getting chips. This place is extremely convenient for Amberly residents but not worth the drive otherwise. read more

Stopped by for a quick lunch while running errands. Surrounding: Located in a strip mall that has various shoppes, such as coffee, nails, and dry cleaning. The inside of the establishment is clean and organized. Lots of seating and even a comfortable area a table and lounging chairs. Service: Both where made quickly in under 5 minutes, served with either chips or a side salad. Food: Mainly sandwiches and salads we opted to get a caprese sandwich and a roast beef sandwich. The bread was fresh and the tomatoes where ripe. The mozzarella cheese was good. The balsamic was good and an adequate amount was put on. The Roast beef wasn't as rare as I hoped, it was well done (not sure if we just had an end piece of roast beef or what). Otherwise the sandwich tasted good. We enjoyed the laid back vibe. Lots of beers to choose from but we did not have any. read more

This was a nice place to stop and grab a healthy bite for my kid and me and sit out on the patio on a nice day. The sandwiches and salads we ordered were fresh and tasty. The service was friendly. This is a cute place nestled in a West Cary community, conveniently located for grabbing some food or hanging out at the bar or patio for a drink with friends. read more

Amberly Local - Roast Beef Sandwich - Bars Near Me - Cary, North Carolina

Got the Grilled Gruyère and Italian sandwiches to go and unfortunately both were not great, especially for the price. Italian: bread rather dry and bland, filling fine but overall portion small, and the side salad, purchased at additional cost, was surprisingly small (came in a container that's a size I usually associate with sauces, about a 2-3 inch diameter.) Guyère: barely anything on the sandwich, and then again flavor not great. Didn't try the beer options so those might be better! read more

This place is very much the equivalent of fast food when it comes to having a beer. It rolls into a new way of drinking with friends there's no server you order your drink and get it right then and you nibble off charcuterie that being said if that's what you want Knowing that going into it, you're going to get exactly that and it's great the outdoor area where I go with my dog is nice. I really enjoy the summers here. It's definitely the vision of suburbia, but I enjoy it. read more

I have been wanting to check this spot out and was glad that I finally did. It was a beer and the caprese sandwich with a side of chips for my husband and a beer and the turkey sandwich with a side of chips for me. Outside of beer they also have wine. The quick food options and beer selection were both good, I can't wait to return. read more

Updating my original review to 5 Stars here. I've seen so many improvements in our "Local" and feel like the ownership has taken feedback from their customers truly to heart. A much wider selection of beers, as well as other choices to drink; excellent menu; and friendly staff make it a pleasure every time. Thanks for this gem in our neighborhood! read more

Great option for a casual laid back environment. Staff is all very friendly, the drink options are fairly good, and the food is pretty tasty. A solid spot for a casual hangout or quick reasonably priced bite and drinks with friends. read more

My husband & I loved it. The Cuban was awesome! We will Definitely be returning to dine, play trivia and/or attend the wine tastings. Service was great as well. It's very clean & super close to Amberly & the many options on tap were impressive! read more

Fun bar Food options while simple are tasty Neighborhood vibe Everyone welcome! Staff are friendly and always welcoming read more

Great new spot in Amberly neighborhood. Perfect for sandwiches, small bites (meat and cheese boards), Beer & Wine. And talk about a selection of Beer & Wine. About 23 brews on tap I counted, and roughly 15 wines. A small kids play area in back corner too for small ones - which converts into Live Music staging area on music nights. All in all an awesome, modern, brand new concept in the Amberly neighborhood. Open seven days a week mostly 11a - 10p/11p. read more

Pretty bold and clever idea. Nothing in the area that is like it, in Cary, anyway. Hard to describe, but great beer selection, interesting tasty menu, and versatile place to bring yourself and a buddy, or the whole fam. It's nice, very nice, to see something other than a chain open in the strip malls in the area. I would love to write more, but I want to give you a chance, honestly, because it is a fresh breath of air, with great beer, lol! I would / will frequent. read more

Yes, If you love beer and personable staff and patrons, here you go. If you're looking for bar food, it's not here. It's more Carolina Cafe than fried shit. read more

Sandwiches not great -especially corned beef and pastrami. Probably good for a bar crowd and location is convenient

Get food, drinks and staff! This was my go spot when I lived in the area. Make sure I stop back when I'm in town for the hot dogs and beer.

We went for a party. It felt comfortable and good inside this little spot located in Cary. Wine. Beer. To go. Charcuterie Boards for the win? Its worth going back or making it your spot! read more

What a great find! I dropped in for lunch with my sister, and had a fabulous, reasonably priced, pastrami sandwich. All sandwiches are offered with either Miss Vicki's chips, or nice salad greens. (not iceberg out of the bag) My sister had the Chicago hot dog, and raved about it. The following night my husband and I returned, after i mentioned that they had 22 beers on tap. We sat at the bar to eat, and the atmosphere, food, beer selections were top notch. We will absolutely be back!! read more

While the ambiance is nice, the food here is absolutely mediocre and overpriced. Yes, it's clean and nice inside but when I went to get food with a friend, the food and drinks weren't memorable or tasty. The service was fast but I felt like I wasted money going here and there are better places I could've gone to hang out + eat. I ordered the brownie as a dessert, and even the beer couldn't cover up how stale it tasted. Wouldn't return but I understand why people go here for the aesthetic read more

Amberly Local not just a beer joint. I went to lunch with some family and friends @Amberlylocal. I didn't know exactly what to expect. My preconceived mindset painted a picture of a dark lit beer bar with a bit of a musky hoppy smell and maybe some 2 day old stale nuts. I was so wrong, Amberly Local was light and airy. It had a very backyard friendly gathering type of vibe. The day I went was a bit brisk so we sat inside however I have every intention on a visit when the weather is being more cooperative to enjoying the really beautiful outdoor seating. The beer which is obviously the main attraction seemed very well curated. I had a tough time choosing with so many hand crafted unknown choices. The staff was able and willing to steer me in the right direction in choosing a beer (neon god) that paired very well with the Cuban sandwich I ordered. A very cool place that I intend on bringing colleagues to. Thanks read more

The neighborhood 'Cheers'... #theLocal . I am not a beer drinker, so why do I spend so much time here? The beer, wine, and food options get you in the door. The family friendly, big screens, open space, and hearty greetings by neighbors keeps you coming!"The wine selection is superb! Plus, the sandwich and hotdog selections are the stuff dreams are made of! My husband enjoys an ice cold IPA with his pastrami sandwich. Me? Well, let's just say the options are endless! Rose'? Cabernet Sauvignon? Reisling? OR sweet tea? Craft soda? You see where I'm going? No matter my mood or my pocket cash, I can find an hour of peace. I have dreamed of Carolina dogs, Philly dogs, and Chicago dogs! I don't know WHY the turkey and bread are the BEST plain turkey sandwich I've ever had. Oh! And the charcuterie boards!!! 2020 has definitely forced us to be more mindful of EVERYTHING! I can't imagine not having this small little spot tucked away in Cary! read more

Good beer selection and great snacks. Well done charcuterie and sandwiches. Wine list could improve a bit but they do have something for most pallets. Gets loud at night so tough to have a conversation but to be expected for a popular local hang out. Service is atypical because you have to go to bar and open a tab for food/table service. However, they do come by frequently and check on you and clear tables. Overall definitely recommend. read more

Nice sandwiches and good selection of wine and beer. Great for a quick lunch or afternoon beverage

Priority is to chow and not to waste time taking a picture of the food, because it's too fresh and good! We ordered pastrami sandwich and the pear and pecan salad with pastrami add-on. FRESH. Draft beer is surprisingly good but it's local! They have wine tasting every Wednesday. The staff is knowledgeable and friendly too! We'll be back! read more

Such a great place!! Meg and Will are awesome!! The beer and hot dogs are delicious! We are visiting from L.A. and this is truly the best food we had during our visit!

Amberly Local - The Cuban Sandwich - Bars Near Me - Cary, North Carolina

Food was really good, owner was attentive and cared if everything was good and it was quick with a good lunchtime turnaround

We were at Amberly Local in the afternoon. No table service. Had to go to the cash register to order-- similar to a fast-food restaurant. We do not know whether they have table service later in the day. The bar looked like a lunch counter at a deli. The draft beer list was very good. The atmosphere to enjoy the craft beer not so. The food was very good... the portions were small. We live close to Amberly Local. Will we return? I do not think so. read more

Awesome local beer spot that has wine...and sandwiches...genius Amberly Local, we appreciate you! Their customer service is impeccable, thanks Zack.

Great beer, nice outdoor seating, nice indoor seating, nice bar area. All in all very nice. We will be back!

Great service, food and ambiance. The entire staff is engaging, remembers who you are, and are the best!!!

Great selection of beers and the grilled cheese is a must. The music they play here set the mood too.

I randomly saw on Instagram that Amberly Local was doing an Oktoberfest special, so I decided to check it out with a few friends. They have a really great open, airy taproom and a good amount of outdoor seating. Loved their selection of Oktoberfest beers, and they had a special food menu complete with huge brats. It was pretty busy for a Thursday night, but we never had to wait long for a beer. Overall a really cool spot in a neat little shopping center - will definitely return! read more
