Our host (sorry I can't recall his name) but he was fun to talk with. Knowledgeable and filled us in on lots of the local happenings, places to also visit, even town history as well. The inside is adorable / quiet and cozy spots to relax as a couple or with several friends. Highly recommend. I look forward to springtime and being able to sit outside. Great spot!

This place is the PERFECT wine bar!! I'm so glad I was told about this gem from a friend just last…read moreweekend, and in spite of it (and charming Clayton) being 40 minutes away (we live in Cary) we drove over this past Sunday and caught them right before closing. We arrived at 4:45 PM on a Sunday and saw on the door that they close at five. We ran in and I said oh I'm so sorry. Are we still able to have a glass of wine? Crystal, the owner who was still on site, and Kristi, behind the bar were absolutely delightful and said of course! I had a Chardonnay and my husband had a Cabernet. Both were delicious. My Chardonnay needed a little chilling and the owner went in the back and brought out this concoction that instantly chilled my beverage. Brilliant! Not only are they friendly-but the space is beautiful, with elevated furniture & decor fitting of a very high-end wine bar, but with a very friendly and approachable vibe. We can't wait to return! I SO wish there was aclone of this quaint and lovely spot in Cary or Apex!

The owner is friendly, knowledgeable, and approachable. The food and drink menus offer affordable, easy to order items. There is a separate suite located two door down from the bar that serves a variety of wines with the option to order the same food items. I enjoyed karaoke night. The crowd was live, and not too loud. This was a great find in Smithfield, considering the few bars and entertainment options available in the area. Most of all, the bar was clean. The ambiance was not smoky, and I felt safe. I will return again for a raspberry lemon drop, and an old fashioned drink.

The drinks were fairly reasonably priced. The place feels new, clean and well designed. Furniture is new. Plenty of seating on high tops and sections that can be reserved. They have several TVs with sporting events playing. The bar also has plenty of seating. They had a vendor selling food. The bathrooms were also very clean and well appointed - something I seek out in bars. I would return and hope folks in the area come to enjoy as well.

My girlfriends and I decided to have our last wine down Wednesday's at Uncorked…read more It's located in the shopping center where Nantucket Grill is, along with 13 Tacos & Tapas. There's plenty of parking in the parking lot. There were several other patrons when I arrived. We were celebrating a birthday and I forgot to bring the gift...how perfectly that they have gift bags for wine. I let the owner know and she brought everything to me, I just had to let her know that I wanted a bottle of red. While we waited for everyone else to arrive, we ordered food. We ordered the crab & shrimp dip, two of the flatbreads, the El Jefe & the Pear Brie & Bacon. The dip comes with warm pitas, it was tasty. The flatbeds were really good, especially the El Jefe, we ordered a second one. The combination is something I'd never think to put together, but went together perfectly. Since we were celebrating a birthday we also had the creme brûlée...delicious. The wine!!! So when I arrived, my friend was just getting the red wine flight, she loved each of them. I tried the Cabernet Sauvignon, so perfect and smooth. We had the best time & are looking forward to going back at least monthly. It's super cute & there's plenty of seating. The staff is amazing, so friendly and so welcoming. They know their wines, are can help you find whatever you're looking for.

A nice idea for plans for dinner prior or after. The Service and R&B music were excellent here but my date and I find the wine unimpressive. We decided to order 2 flights, so that we could really give everything a fair chance. Riesling is a favorite of mine so I went with that. I also had Chardonnay (not a favorite), red and something similar to Malbec. I only enjoyed the Riesling. This is a very quaint wine shop, there is not a lot of space or seating but it's perfect for just two.

The warm edison bulbs flicker to life as if they've been waiting just for you, casting lazy shadows across blue walls and gilded mirrors. A hush of soft laughter drifts from a nearby corner where friends lean close, their glasses catching light like captured constellations. Velvet armchairs and couches cradle quiet conversations, while behind the bar, bottles gleam with impossible colors; one even glows, ever so slightly, when the bartender passes. You can't tell if it's the lighting or a trick of magic--and you don't really want to know. They call it whimsical, but really--it's their Old Fashioned. The kind of drink that feels less made and more summoned. When they craft it, there's a ceremony to the motion: sugar stirred just so, bitters dashed with the precision of a spell mark, a single twist of orange releasing its perfume like a secret. The bartender doesn't rush. She moves with the calm assurance of someone who knows time bends for good cocktails. You will find your seat in one of the several cozy alcoves, each space hums with quiet enchantment. Don't forget the food out back, part settled, part wizard of flavor, the food truck delights with gluten-free magic for everyone. Every dish is crafted so well, you'll forget it's "free" of anything--except compromise. Clayton is lucky to have this upscale hideaway where alchemy meets ambiance and every sip feels like a small enchantment. Cheers!

The vibe is welcoming,…read moreand the space is thoughtfully laid out with small nooks that make conversation easy--great for a more relaxed, intimate experience. The cocktail menu is on the smaller side but well-curated. Prices are reasonable ($11-$12 per drink). Our group especially enjoyed the Manhattan, the smoked Old Fashioned, and the Paper Plane--each one was well-balanced and flavorful. That said, the bartending staff seemed a bit inexperienced. Several had to refer to recipe cards, which slowed things down, and they weren't confident making drinks off-menu. With some more training and time behind the bar, this should improve. There's also a food truck on-site. We didn't get a chance to try it, but the menu looked appealing and gives us a reason to return. Overall, a fun spot with a strong foundation. Once the team finds their rhythm, this could easily become a go-to neighborhood bar.
