    I absolutely love this place!! I am obsessed with skeleton keys and skeleton decor so I absolutely love all of the decor. It is such a cool vibe and such a beautiful laid back atmosphere. They have a great cocktail menu and all of the drinks I've tried have been delicious. The bartenders are friendly and do a great job waiting on a full bar of people. I really love the little gift shop. We bought some really cool books there and they have great games and other gift items for purchase. They also have a fun assortment of motel key type keychains. I so wish this place was closer to my house as my husband and I would like to hang out there all the time.

    FRIDAY NIGHT ON WHITE is held right near this cute bar so I was able to get an adult beverage to bring outside to enjoy the festivities in a to-go cup. The inside is really well done and the staff are all very friendly and fun!!! You can also buy drinks from the walk up sidewalk bar without going in during the event hours. They have fun specialty drinks that I highly recommend!! Grab some friends and be sure to check it out.

    Cute Bar meets coffee house feel. They had live music when we went on Friday night and was very busy around 8/9 pm. The bar is very festive with Halloween decor and had one of the best espresso martinis I've ever had. I will say it's not the cheapest drink spot but they do have a nice variety of different craft cocktails.

    We stopped in about 8pm and we were pleasantly surprised by the cozy atmosphere and the great music coming from The man playing the piano. You can tell they take great pride in their signature drinks. We didn't see one drink that came out that did not look like a piece of art when delivered. They were not busy, when we arrived and the bartender came over and took our order at the table. Keep in mind once they do get busy, you are to order at the bar.

    Cute drink spot in downtown Wake Forest. Lowkey but a fun stop for a quick drink. Service is good and drinks are well priced.

    Fun, inventive cocktails in a kitschy, spooky jazz-bar atmosphere. We had great service, and we will be back!

    Served 1 drink, then ignores while they served the ladies. Sat there for 20 minutes empty. Tough to be a man sometimes.

I was impressed with so many of them, that I knew I had to make the journey from Raleigh to Wake Forest. On a chilly Saturday afternoon, I took the lone remaining seat at the bar. The service was incredible friendly (Cheers!) and they let me try 4 samples, which was very much appreciated. My favorites were the Juicy January and and the Yellow Submarine, both are Hazy IPAs. The JJ had hints of creamy pineapple in it, refreshing without being too light. The YS tasted a little more balanced, a really good all around beer. The Where I Belong was also good, this one leaned a little more towards West Coast, but it didn't have a strong piney taste like a lot of West Coasts can. I even noticed hints of caramel in it as well, which helped to counter the hops. There are several TVs and they'll put on just about any game you request. Also if you're into pumpkin beer, try the Pumpkin Amber when it's around. It's a Top 3 pumpkin beer that I've ever tried, and I've tried at least 25.

    Lonerider Brewing Company Hideout in Wake Forest - Beer garden: TriBeagles event

    Came here for an adoption event Lonerider hosted for TriBeagles, which seems to be a regular event…read more So, we bought some drinks and left with two new dogs. Lonerider was very accommodating and accessible for both humans and dogs. Let's talk about beer and cocktails. As I was DD, you'll have to take my spouse's word for the beer. He enjoyed a couple of IPA's on the menu, and they very kindly made me a mocktail for half the price (which I'm grateful for as the drive back to Northern VA is kind of long, and I don't need to get pulled over with two newly adopted beagles already scared for their lives.) The outlaw extra menu, which is made up of specialty kegs on tap, also had a good variety on it. The big screen with all the different beers currently available is pretty cool. And I like that there's a fridge stocked up with take home beers, too. Plenty of parking outside. The beer garden was packed full of people and dogs and pop-up shops, still with room to sit and enjoy a beer or two. Inside there was plenty of seating and room to move around without stepping on any paws. I love that a portion of the proceeds from these events always goes back to TriBeagles, and I'm thankful for local businesses supporting these precious dogs in finding homes by providing event space. I wish we lived closer, Lonerider. We'd be here all the time.
