    Clarified Margarita
    Peter V.

    Dram & Draught is easily one of my favorite cocktail bars in the Raleigh-Cary area. They make one of my favorite drinks in Raleigh: the clarified margarita. It's smooth, balanced, and incredibly well-executed (it is the smoothest tequila I have ever had). What really keeps us coming back, though, is how much creativity goes into the menu. The recipes are made by the local bartenders, and it shows. My wife and I love coming here and simply trying something new each visit (well she does, I get the margarita every time). There's always a sense of trust that whatever you order will be thoughtful, and different from what you'd get anywhere else. Whether you're a cocktail enthusiast or just want a relaxed spot to enjoy something well-made, Dram & Draught delivers consistently. A go-to for quality drinks, creativity, and atmosphere.

    I've visited this spot several times for drinks, and they always deliver. The cocktails are amazing, and I appreciate that there's constantly something new on the menu to explore. The bartenders consistently offer great recommendations, ensuring there's never a dull moment. On this visit, I decided to try the food, and it exceeded my expectations. The BBQ jackfruit I had was incredibly delicious - so good, in fact, that I'll be returning in the very near future!

    Dram & Draught has a fantastic vibe and even better food and drinks! I tried the roast beef sliders with a side of pasta salad and paired it with the Rolo Royale cocktail. The sliders were perfectly cooked and bursting with flavor, and the Rolo Royale was the perfect mix of indulgent and refreshing--highly recommend it for chocolate lovers! The pasta salad was good but slightly firmer than I prefer; however, it didn't take away from the overall experience. The staff was friendly, the atmosphere was inviting, and I'll definitely be back to explore more of the menu. Great spot for a casual night out or a small gathering with friends!

    What to do on rainy day (with tornado warnings)....go shop and drink in an outdoor mall, of course. My husband (who patiently waded through several stores with me) spotted this place and suggested a break. What a welcome break! I can't remember the last time I saw this kind of selection of alcohol!! We did not eat here, but the menu looked good...the alcohol selection is even MORE extensive. The craft cocktails are very inventive. I had the Lady Grey, with flavors of citrus, lavender and Earl Grey tea. It was as beautiful a drink as it was tasty. Service was friendly and informative. The ambience was cool, with literally a wall of alcohol inhabiting one side of the bar. There is outdoor seating, an upstairs area, outdoor heaters and a window that appeared to open from the bar to the outside (that would allow for ordering from the patio). Very cool place!!

    I love coming here! It's never too packed and every cocktail is truly an experience. The music is always tasteful as well.

    Christian making drinks he didn't even know he could. Great drinks. Great time.

    Walked in and wanted a cocktail made with rum. Christian was behind the bar and made it happen like a boss. Great service. Swanky atmosphere as always. Well done. Thank you team.

    We stopped by here on a Saturday night. It wasn't very packed when we got there and we were able to find seats at the bar. We were immediately greeted by quite a few staff members. The inside was so inviting. It's dimly lit and cozy. Perfect place for a date! We thought we'd be able to have a meal and a couple of drinks but the kitchen was closed. I ordered the Faded with a stranger. Beautiful presentation. I did expect my glass to be a bit fuller. My friend was looking for a specific type of liquor (which I forgot the name of) He didn't think they'd have it but they actually did. We didn't stay for long because we were starving. I will be returning though!

    Dropped by for lunch and tried one of their new items on the menu. The smoked salmon sandwich was simple yet good. Paired it with the broccoli salad it all went well together. The service was good. Considering it wasn't too busy at the time everyone was really friendly. Was really impressed with the liquor selection. I was on the clock so didn't have anything to drink but would come by to check it out after hours.

    Seasonal cocktails. Delicious!

    Amazing cocktail, bar and service. We stopped here to check out Fenton before our dinner reservation and sure glad we did. Don't remember the name of the drinks as they change their cocktail menu seasonally (seems like) but we truly enjoyed it. Amazing whiskey collection at the bar. Service was great. The bartender explained all ingredients and recommended exactly what we would like. Venue is cozy but it fits Fenton shopping center. We will be back when we come back to Fenton.

    Caprese and grilled cheese sandwiches.  So much more than you expect
    Kim C.

    I had the pleasure of visiting Dram and Draught Fenton with Yelp today, and to say I am impressed is and understatement! I was immediately wowed by the structure which has indoor and outdoor seating as well as a rooftop lounge. As a group we tried several items from their new menu. So let's talk about the food first: I sampled the beet hummus (totally delicious) with carrot and celery sticks. The Olive tapenade was delicious and not too briny. Chickpea salad was good but the food star for me was the grilled cheese. Fabulous cheeses with a perfect pepper jelly. Wow! The cap rear was good but a touch soggy, the Cuban had a great balance as well. Now to the drinks. I tried two specialty drinks. The first was a Rolo Royale. A lively lavender color and very tasty. Many in my group compared it to a pina colada, but not as sweet. The dried blood orange slice was a great touch. I next tried a Becky from the block. After looking at the ingredients, expected something sweeter, but not really a sweet drink and had a subtle bitter bite. Service both in the floor and at the bar was fantastic and my special compliments to the bartenders. They have so many options to serve and do so seamlessly. You need to go, enjoy the atmosphere, try some of their specialty drinks and just relax. Great place to hang out with friends.

    A fun time with friends. The atmosphere here lends itself to enjoy the space as a group. Parties sit together at longer high tops and the bar. Not necessarily the place to go for a quiet, intimate time, but more upbeat and lively. Service was fairly quick. We were seated immediately and within 5 minutes of sitting were greeted at the table. The drinks are just right. Not too sweet and not overly poured. You get your money's worth. When in Fenton, this is a great stop.

    Sitting here enjoying the cool and calm atmosphere of Dram & Drought. Walking in I immediately felt relaxed and calm. The inside is a little small and it was full, but I managed to find a seat at the bar and a waitress greeted me immediately and gave me a menu. Then I was greeted by a bartender named Jamie who was so nice! I got an old fashioned that is made with their Dram and Drought Elijah Craig Whiskey. It was smooth, strong, and had a great spice and a little hint of sweetness! I wanted to get another one, but I realized I had adult things to do later, so I will have to come back when I can get two! It is worth it! Dram and Drought is a must-go to when in Fenton. Chill place to get a drink and relax.

    Visiting from Austin, I came by on my own for a quick bite and a drink...after the lunch menu disappears around 5pm, you lose some options, but given I was going to get an arugala salad, settling for the burrata plate worked out just fine, and it was as good as anywhere else I've orderex so zero complaints and happy I had a server recommend it. I had a local IPA on draught that was nice, too, and enjoyed being outside and upstairs as the sun had just set. Nice atmosphere and vibe outside for sure, friendly service, and overall nice experience...wish I was a cocktail buff but I'm more of a wine guy and then beer--not many wine options, but the Argiano Toscana Rosso would serve if I couldn't switch. Remember the name of the place though, Dram & Draught, so for that, I'd say they hit the mark...I would not be afraid to return with my wife.

With little signage the space feels like a natural speakeasy. It's unpolished enough to feel a little sleazy, yet polished enough to never feel dirty. In other words, it has character, and plenty of it. The bartenders were fantastic: knowledgeable, talented, and happy to chat about the spirits behind the bar. Whether you're a serious whiskey enthusiast or just looking for a well-made cocktail, you're in good hands. Being open later than most Raleigh bars makes Foundation one of the city's go-to late-night options, but that shouldn't overshadow what it really is........a great bar at any hour. The atmosphere, the drinks, and the people behind the bar make this a place worth seeking out whether it's your first stop of the evening or your last.

It was me and one other person and it took about 15 minutes for our waiter to come to our table to take our order or even speak to us (shockingly this same waiter took a couples order sitting at the table next to us even though they arrived way later). We understood that it was slightly busy since it's a Friday night however it would've been better to at least take our order or bring us water in the meantime while also letting us know we had to wait that long. I grew very impatient and ultimately wanted to leave the establishment altogether at this point. Once we got our drinks (I ordered The Middle Child) they were both way too strong to even take a sip. As a cocktail bar, the drinks shouldn't taste like straight rubbing alcohol. I couldn't even finish my drink because it tasted so bad.

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!

If it's a beautiful day, I'd definitely recommend sitting outside instead. Still, the inside has a cozy, laid-back feel that works well. Shoutout to Qua, who was both the hostess and our server. She was welcoming, attentive, and handled everything smoothly, even as a few more parties came in while she was the only one serving at the time. One thing I really appreciated was that she let us know upfront what items were out of stock before we even looked at the menu. That level of transparency is huge and makes the experience so much better. My son ordered a slider with fries from the kids' menu. It comes with just one slider, so I ordered a second, definitely the right call. He enjoyed it, and the fries were cooked well, just a little on the salty side for our taste (ketchup helped balance that out). I had the shrimp tacos. It's packed and perfect portion for lunch. The shrimp, pineapple slaw, and chipotle mayo was a nice mix. The restaurant was clean (including the bathrooms). The location is also a plus, super close to the Art Museum, which makes it a great stop before or after visiting. Overall enjoyable, and I'd come back, especially to try more of the menu and the drinks.

I had the flounder tacos, which were fresh, flavorful, beautifully seasoned but not hot or overly spicy and included fresh corn, slaw and magic. My husband had a summer vegetable risotto with pan seared salmon and he raved about it. We each had the classic old fashioned with the restaurant's signature bourbon and we shared an exquisite peach and bourbon bread pudding for dessert which was surprisingly light, but a large enough portion for us to take some home in a to-go box. The vibe is beautiful. The owner Hali stopped by to chat with us and the host, John, was a pure delight. Relaxing evening, great ambiance and service and delicious food. Obviously - highly recommend!
