The band played tonight and the vibe was nice.

It's a lounge for mostly young people. I was here celebrating a birthday with friends but we still had a great time. We stayed out on the ground floor and eventually made our way to the rooftop. The servers cater to those buying a lot of alcohol mostly. Lots of lounge seating upstairs but it was a chill spot.

Tucked just above Glenwood's buzz, this rooftop garden lounge mixes plush seats, jungle vibes, and cocktails that make you forget there's a whole city below. Up here, every seat's the best seat in the house--whether you're lounging like royalty on a plush couch, or plotting world domination over cocktails at the bar. The music's just right, the plants are thriving, and so are you! Cheers.

I visited Botanical Lounge with a group of friends post dinner for drinks and we had a good time. We arrived around 8:30pm and I noticed the place doesn't really fill up until later in the evening. It's right on Glenwood and the ambiance was very classy. Once the crowd came in, it did get very loud and a little hard to hold a conversation. The food was good, the drinks were well-made, and the servers were attentive, which made our night easy and enjoyable. If you're looking for a place to sit and chat, I recommend going earlier in the evening before it gets crowded. But if you're in the mood for a fun and energetic night out, the rooftop is a great option too.

If you're looking for a cute rooftop spot in Raleigh, definitely visit Botanical Lounge! I love that they have the fire pits for a nice cozy vibe. The service here is great and they have awesome drink prices! Enjoyed my espresso martini here.

This place stunning! I mean STUNNING!!!! Romantic, elegant and cozy vibes Let's start with dessert bc the sour cream cake blew my mind! The presentation was gorgeous. And each bite mixed with the pear and gelato was incredible. I loved all tapas and drinks too!!!

The lounge is super cute with a cozy atmosphere. Love the botanical theme and green live plants all over the lounge. They serve great drinks. It was a super busy weekend but drinks and appetizers was served at a timely manner. Also there is a rooftop. One of my favorites places for drinks when am around the area.

My friends and I went here for lunch and had an overall pleasant experience. They have a really nice rooftop area and our server was super nice. The manager also checked on us multiple times and even adjusted their heat lamps for us :) The food was good. Nothing in particular really stood out but I can say that our overall favorite dish was the fried oysters. Same thing with the drinks, they were yummy but no standouts.

It's a place to been seen...I'd rate this restaurant a 3.5. Here's the breakdown: * Ambiance: 4 - The interior is well-appointed, but I do wonder about the cleanliness of the furniture. Overall, the ambiance was spot-on. * Food: 3 - The small plate concept was interesting, and the food came out quickly, but the flavors were mediocre. * Service: 3.5 - Service started off strong but became lackluster after our first round and the arrival of our food. * Cocktails: 3 - The house special was just okay; it was a bit too sweet for my taste, and the pricing seemed high for what we ordered. * Price: 3 - For a party of three, including two bubbly cocktails, two glasses of wine, and three small plates, the cost was quite high.

Very cool, and pretty bar. The decorations on the first floor are amazing. They have a very pretty outside spot and two large bars. The upstairs has a rooftop deck. They also have a DJ on certain nights. Drinks were great. If I lived here I would frequent this bar.

Incredible interior decorating! Drinks were great, I prefered the Garden Spritz over the Don't Kill my Vibe. Amazing music and atmosphere. My husband and I just needed to kill an hour on a Friday night and couldn't have stumbled into a better place. Many bars on this street and definitely preferred this place.

It's still early but the Botanical Lounge in S. Glenwood is now open! Brought to you by Hibernian Hospitality, it's a stunner of a space, located where Solas used to be. Part bar, part lounge and part restaurant, the decor is posh but modern. A front and side patio means there's plenty of air and sunshine to keep you happy. And the menu of small plates are quirky and varied. It's still early, food service won't start until 10/6 but call me impressed so far. I'll be updating the review as they continue to open up.

Very nice ambiance here. Seemed to be a mature crowd out on a Friday night earlier before 10. It started to get crowded as the night went on. The bartenders were attentive. The server came around and offered us drinks. They do serve food but after a certain hour they do stop serving. I do think they should keep serving at least until 10:30. I enjoyed the experience overall. Very nice chill vibes. I would recommend Botanical to friends.

Don't go here if you want good service and food. The bouncer are rude and the food is one of the worse on Glenwood.

Great service and great spot to unwind!!!Always stop here for a stick when in Raleigh!!!!!read more

Stepping into the cigar bar feels like slipping into a well-dressed time machine that decided to…read moreloosen its tie. The air hums with the scent of tobacco, oak, and good decisions made slowly. Plush couches and deep leather chairs form little islands of comfort, perfect for sinking into a conversation that doesn't need to end soon. Along the walls, humidors stand like treasure chests, keeping their cigars in stately silence. Vintage wood glows everywhere--from the bar's polished surface to the beams above--each grain steeped in quiet history. Overhead, TVs flicker with old games and new ones alike, while dart boards wait nearby for a little friendly competition between sips of bourbon and curls of smoke. The bartender slides the Old Fashioned across the bar with the precision of a man who's been doing it long enough to know that showmanship is for amateurs. No fancy garnish, no chatter--just the soft clink of glass meeting wood and a nod that says this'll do. Happiness here isn't loud or glittery--it's slow-burning and pleasantly lopsided, like a jazz tune played just slightly off the beat. It seeps in between sips and smoke rings, wrapping itself around you like the worn leather of the chair you've claimed for the night. It's the kind that finds you sitting still, glass half full, smoke curling upward like a satisfied sigh. Cheers!
