Decided to stop by on an early Friday evening after work. Loved that they had both indoor and…read moreoutdoor seating options. Didn't love the bartender after the first interaction. I had looked at the instagram page before arriving and saw a drink that I wanted to try. I couldn't remember the name when I got there and asked for the drink menu. I was given a look that made me feel like I was wrong for asking for it. One of the patrons was nice enough to show me a basket with menus in it. I ordered the drink and went to find a seat with my friends. Even though it was fairly crowded, there was ample seating. One of my friends ordered the $5 old fashioned and ended up ordering several more. Definitely a great deal for the price and alcohol ratio. I chose the hoopla and then a sidecar. Both were well executed. I wanted to try some of the food, but unfortunately we had eaten before arriving. Several people we spoke to said the jerk wings were a must try so I'll definitely come back for those! Outside of the first interaction with the bartender, the other one was very pleasant and continued to serve us with no issues.

We rented the upstairs space for a corporate event.

We had 35 guests. The room had just the right amount of seating for groups of people to visit with each other comfortably. The restroom was conveniently upstairs. We had two bartenders taking GREAT CARE of us the entire time! I really cannot say enough about how wonderful our experience was at Joyner's Bar! If we put on another social gathering, we will definitely rent their space and order their catering again. The open bar was a nice touch everyone appreciated! MOST SINCERELY!

My husband was assaulted inside the bar, and the people responsible left before police arrived. To make matters worse, we were told the cameras only livestream and do not record, which was incredibly frustrating because it meant there was no recorded footage available to help identify the people involved. Everyone deserves to enjoy a night out without worrying about their safety. Based on our experience, I would choose a bar with better security measures and recorded surveillance instead.

Unfortunately, the food didn't quite match the vibe - for us. We ordered a pizza to share as an appetizer, planning to follow it with an entrée...but quickly decided to stop while we were ahead (or at least not too far behind). We must have been served something different than others who have written reviews about the pizza. We found it to be just...basic. Nothing memorable, nothing that made us want another bite. The wine, however, was enjoyable--so they're definitely delivering on that front. My significant other's Old Fashioned was just okay...which, in fairness, it is a wine bar. All in all, it's a great spot for the atmosphere and a glass of wine - and I will leave it at that.

The pizzas were very good and very unique. We got the rustica and the margarita. Both were very…read morecheesy and a little sweeter than expected. The rustica was interesting with the figs on it for sure. The cocktail was not my favorite. I ordered the tiramisu martini and they put an actual piece of cake in it. So as I went to go stir the drink, the cake dissolved in the drink and it made it very chunky to drink, definitely wasn't a great idea to put cake in it.

The day I came in was my very first visit and it was pretty quiet and not busy at all. So if you need a quiet place to chill try to arrive around 5:30 or thereabouts. This place serves very unique beverages and appetizers. I'm told some of the wines are organic as well. It is perfect for a person who wants just a beverage and small plate food. Perfect to start out your adventure for the evening or if you need just a late night snack. They stay open till 10pm but check first as I may not be correct on that. I really like that its open later after most restaurants stop serving food around 9pm. Its kinda dark in there illuminated in low overhead lights and candles on the tables. So perfect for an intimate get together. I will return again to try some different beverages, they have nonalcoholic creative drinks as well as unique beer and wine choices. I would also like to try some more of those small plate appetizers. It all looked good! Friendly service here so a comfortable place to settle in for a bit.

Last night I was able to snag tickets to an Italian Trattoria inspired event at The Caviste - Wine Shop inside Bobby Boy Bakeshop. A casual meal that was a mixture of serve yourself and table service. I love the opportunity to try bites of several different items so these kinds of dinners are always super fun in that sense and it allows the chef to be creative and have a little fun and I get to experience several dishes. And for those that aren't interested in committing to an event, The Caviste is a great spot to have glass of wine and some bar snacks/small plates when you don't feel like a big heavy meal(5:30-7pm only) Or just purchase some wine from their extensive wine selection.

Ugh I wish this were closer to downtown! I love this spot -…read moreI came once when I first moved a couple years ago and had a great time. Returned again last night and enjoyed some samples (Rose, White) before getting a bottle to go. This is such a chic and cozy spot - I also wish they had longer weekday hours! It's hard to get there before 5 and would be nice to have a little extra time to relax there. Service was great and the selection of wine available is top notch. They have a wine club that seems very reasonable ($40/month). Haven't pulled the trigger on it yet, but it's tempting! @azfitfoodfun

This coffee shop is nothing short of phenomenal--a true hidden gem I only wish I'd discovered…read moresooner. We sampled a little bit of everything: the hot vanilla lattes, the Cubano, the cortado, and an almond croissant that tasted like it floated straight down from pastry heaven. Every single item was a flawless 10/10. The staff? Exceptionally warm and welcoming. We even had the pleasure of meeting the owner--genuine, kind, and clearly passionate about the craft. The barista was equally lovely, adding to the charm of the whole experience. And the ambiance... wow. Clean, sleek, filled with natural light, and boasting an immaculate interior that feels both modern and inviting. To top it all off, they also offer a wonderful selection of wine and beer, perfect for unwinding or elevating your evening. This place doesn't just serve coffee; it sets the standard. Truly, this is the best coffee Winston has to offer. If you haven't been yet, do yourself a favor--go. I cannot recommend it enough.

Other than that, the coffee was delicious and satisfying. My friend got a cappuccino that he said was excellent as well. The place had the most beautiful aroma of freshly roasted coffee. Neither of us got anything to eat, but they did have a couple of options. I'm pretty sure one of them was a croissant of some sort and we will have to try that when we go back.
