There's a house band, which provides lively music that makes for a nice ambience. Bartenders were friendly and attentive, the drinks were nice, and it's easy to get tipsy real soon, so be careful!

There are so many talented spoken word artists that grace the stage every week. I love this venue because it is modern, brand new and the bartenders are excellent. There is ample lot parking, and the drink specials are excellent. Consistently strong and worth your dollar. There is plenty of comfortable seating and I love the decor. Sometimes they serve food and outside food has been allowed. There is also a calzone restaurant next door. Make this your hump day destination.

We ordered a hookah and just chatted. Note there are $10 refills after your first set of coals die out. I didn't get a drink but I saw others ordering them.

Waited about 10 mins for our table. Tables are really close together. We were seated next to a party of maybe 5-6 but they were all in our space. And more people kept coming to their table as the night progressed.Once in we ordered drinks and hookah. The drinks were good definitely bar prices. The waitress was all over the place, again it was busy so we had to flag her down every-time we were ready for another round. Hookah was as expected. DJ was good and played a variety of hits which we appreciated. I will say that it was hot! No air circulation at all! I had to go outside a few times bc it was a big smoke ball inside. Good spot tho.

Neon lights, the sound of pinball machines, and classic arcade music instantly make you feel like you stepped into the 80s and 90s in the best way. The atmosphere and the team are lively, playful, and genuinely unique compared to other spots in Raleigh. It is the kind of place where you plan to stay for one drink and end up playing games for hours. If you are looking for a fun new spot in Raleigh, Super Rad Retro Lounge is definitely worth checking out. Such a cool concept and a great place to relive some arcade nostalgia.

I love that the arcade tokens are still 4 tokens to a dollar…read more Plus, outside of pinball, most games are only one token! That means if I bring like $10, I can get a beer and like 20 games, that's sick.

The music was very inviting but as my sister and I started to pass by due to the whole club vibes - an employee suggested we come inside and check it out. No admission fee. A nice and clean space. I'm not a fan of dance clubs, so totally out of my usual spaces but for what Alive is, I would highly recommend the space for dancers who would like to go out for a night of dancing. The restrooms smelled very good and were very clean with cute decor. Alive is highly recommended for your place to go dancing. The bar service is quick. We didn't have to fight for a drink!

From the seamless online ticketing to the elevated atmosphere, everything felt intentional. The DJ brought the energy, the food delivered, and the complimentary mimosa (with a virgin option available) was a nice touch. We sat both inside and outside, and even with the cold, gloomy weather, the outdoor heaters kept things warm and comfortable, which made the experience that much better. The weather may not have cooperated, but inside and out? Nothing but good vibes and great company. Effortless, fun, and definitely worth it.

Not bad for 30.00 all you can eat however it wasn't great at all. The food was room temp.

Here's what I enjoyed... the fresh juice, the patio & the atmosphere. I do not recommend the food at all.

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!
