Parking is easy - they have their own lot. It's a small space, but never overcrowded (at least when I have been there) and their drinks rotate seasonally. Service is always prompt and they are nice!

Their cocktail list has some unique and whimsical drinks - ALL are delicious. They'll also once in a while have a couple of special cocktails on a board that the bartenders have concocted - also delicious!

Other drinks we ordered included the Painkiller and classic beer and goldschlager shototer. Great ambience, good for networking, date night, just hanging out.

Tucked above downtown Cary, this cocktail club delivers specialty drinks that are both creative and dangerously easy to keep ordering. The vibe is relaxed without trying too hard, making it equally perfect for catching up with friends. The real standout for me though? The massive outdoor patio. Spacious, laid-back, and ideal for lingering over cocktails way longer than originally planned. Cary keeps getting cooler, and this place is a big reason why.

Also, age discrimination, I showed them my ID I'm 24 years old. You can search my name up online…read moreyou can go through court records you can verify that I'm 24. But they would not allow me in there. They said it's 21+ which really they meant it was Old people only. They refused to serve me and said it was the law because I "wasn't 21. " I will be following a civil case I am 24 years old. I showed them a valid government ID and I'm sure that the court will accept my ID and be able to verify my age by other means. Never go here they don't allow young people unless you're a retarded golfer you're a retired golfer. This is your spot. By the way, the drinks are below average and they have fake plants hanging off the walls no food horrible place. In fact, I'm so confident that it's horrible that you can contact me with any questions at 904-679-2513

Did I spend more than I wanted to on a mocktail? Absolutely. But was it worth it? Also yes…read more Equal effort typically used to make cocktails was put into creating a beautiful mocktail. I enjoyed sipping on the refreshing, tropical drink and only wish it didn't have so much ice in it. I opted to sit inside at the bar to escape the heat.

I went with your espresso martini which tasted like a chocolate drink--couldn't finish it. Second, not once in the 20 minutes after receiving my drink did 4 bartenders check in with me or my husband. Third, the stupid door to the kitchen was squeaky as hell. We could hear it from the street! All of these issues combined tell me that management is poor. Needless to say, we closed out before finishing our drinks and went elsewhere. My husband's review: it's an elevated Applebees based on cost-value.

They have a very extensive inventory of bourbons including all the high-end ones you would want. The bartenders making amazing recipes including my partners favorite, Tom Yum, taste just like the soup. I can often enjoy a whiskey sour with no issue and use the menu to try something different. They don't serve food, so it's a good place to come after dinner. The ambiance is simple, a wooden bar and now that they have expanded, they have some tables as well. This past trip was the most crowded I've ever seen it in there, but the service was still quick and attentive. This bar is a staple for me.

For those that follow me on Yelp for brewery reviews, cocktail bar reviews are few and far between. So if I make a point of making a visit, it really is special. Great selection of product (I guess) but what I appreciate is the care and attention each glass is prepared by the bar keep. They are very friendly and knowledgeable - which is good for me, b/c I ask a lot of questions! Service is careful, but does crawl if the house is full, it really is tiny inside - did you know there was a back door, patio area? I particularly like the absence of having to yell at my table mates - it makes this barbour more sophisticated in this respect.Everything, right down to the outside marquee is subtle - and we like leaving the madding crowd far away...

For starters, our waiter(if I'm not mistaken was also the bartender) was very attentive and gave excellent recommendations since it was our first visit. I ordered the rose water lemonade and my son ordered the strawberry lychee. Both were delicious so much so I asked could the two be combined without the carbonation that the lychee drink had. It was a hit!!!! For appetizers we ordered the Duck Egg rolls and asked the waiter to surprise us with the second appetizer. He chose the Pork Bao. The egg rolls were our favorite out of the two but both were great. For our entrees, my son ordered the General Tso Chicken. I couldn't decide between two dishes so I asked the waiter once again to surprise me. I ended up the whole fish(black bass) entree which was a phenomenal choice. The flavors were like a party in your mouth. It was seasoned to perfection and the sauce: OMG!!!!! Both entrees came with a bowl of fluffy rice. For dessert we got the mooncakes. They were ok. The ambience was nice and welcoming. I don't drink but was informed that it was a place people go to take part in their amazing drink selections. That it is also a great place to read a book which they have plenty to choose from if you forgot your own and a good meet up or date spot. If you are looking for new place to try this place will be a great choice!!!! Let me know what you think!!!

They offer made to order items for breakfast, as well as a breakfast bar option, dinner options that include a main menu and "kitchen specials," as well as a pretty well stocked bar for an evening nightcap. The restaurant shares its location with the lobby area of the hotel, giving it a very upscale vibe with the decor that the hotel already has. My husband and I were staying at this hotel for a few nights and chose to try out the restaurant for both breakfast and dinner. The coworkers were polite and offered their opinions on items at dinner, as well as helped us understand the menu fully at breakfast time. To me, the location definitely saw more patrons at both breakfast time and around 8/9pm for an evening drink. My husband and I each ordered a menu item for dinner and shared an item off of their "small plates" section. He ordered the Sesame Tuna Steak which was presented on the plate so beautifully. He said it was great, and left no trace of food on the plate after he was done. I was in the mood for a salad and ordered the Caesar and added chicken. So yummy. The chicken was cooked well and there were so many croutons (ultimately my favorite part of a salad). We shared the Firecracker Shrimp Tacos at the recommendation of our waitress and were not disappointed. You get three in one order. They were quite large and so flavorful. We will definitely be eating here again during our stay!
