What a cool spot! I found this off a Reddit thread and I honestly would have never known otherwise…read more It's located in a tucked away strip mall off Litchford, it has a big patio but inside it has walls of whisky (the largest collection in the southeast apparently). We grabbed a few spots at the bar and live music was playing outside on this beautiful evening, lots of families buzzing around. The bartenders were really good, knowledgeable, and on it. I had the cocktail of the week which was a gin and Prosecco concoction and hubby had draft pumpkinhead, it's the season. Both good choices! They have TVs if you want to watch the game and big tables to just chill. I'm assuming you can bring in food too from the nearby spots. Overall loved this hidden gem! We will be back!

Stopped by Sneaky Penguin Brewing a couple days ago. I wasn't sure what to expect, but wow we were…read moresurprised how good/cool this brewery is. When you arrive there is plenty of parking out front or off to the side of the brewery. Walking in the brewery feels industrial yet cozy, dog friendly, laid back, and welcoming. To order you'll walk up to the counter, order a beer, and then grab any open seat either inside or outside. I ordered the no country for old penguins take two (hazy ipa; Hazy and juicy with passion fruit, mango, citrus, and blueberry. Paradisi, El Dorado, Citra hops create a smooth, tropical IPA with a crisp finish) which was excellent and well balanced. Definitely check out sneaky penguin brewing if you are in the north Raleigh area.

They have a great selection of beers if you're a craft beer person. I used to come here frequently in the past and not much has changed (in a good way). It's a good easy going spot where you can have a few beers with friends. They have a nice outdoor patio area as well so it's a good one to check out when the weather is nice! They have taps, a stocked fridge, and a large bottle / can selection to choose from. It's also a good place to stop in if you're looking for a case to take home or to a party, for example.

Inside, the space is wide open. Outside offers sun, breeze, and regular live music. The staff was warm, friednly, and guided u through a tap list that seemed fairly large for such a small spot. There were also a few mocktails for good measure. I'm a dark beer drinker, so went straight for Swingbridge, their Breakfast Stout. Rich with roasty coffee, soft vanilla, and a bit of baking chocolate. Exactly what I wanted. My partner's watermelon mojito mocktail was bright and refreshing, and she loved it. We left knowing we'll be back. It for sure is a spot built for staying a while, not just stopping by. THank You Salty Turtle!

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.

Good reason to come back. Started with prickly pear margarita with mescal. Yum! Had a white wine after. It was ok. My friend and I shared 4 bruschetta's- smoked salmon and pesto, artichoke, caprese, and apple, Brie and fig. Favs were smoked salmon and apple and Brie. The fries were amazing. Salmon board was good too. The bread on the board was much better than the bruschetta. Ambiance is great. Service as well. Will be back!

Absolutely love Postino! This is my go to lunch spot with coworkers. We've been numerous times…read moreand are never disappointed. My go to meal is the half panini and tomato soup. Their roast beef panini is on par with Portillo's a long standing Chicago beef restaurant (IYKYK). I've NEVER had a beef sandwich that was better than Portillo's but Postino you managed to take a hometown classic and elevate it to a point beyond my expectations - if you get this sandwich I recommend getting it on the ciabatta bread versus focaccia. Let's not overlook the tomato soup - it's so rich and flavorful. For a lighter lunch my go to is the tuna panini with broccoli salad. They are known for their boards, I've not had the bruschetta yet but it looks delicious. My favorite board is the hummus. One thing I hate is when a restaurant gives you a big bowl of hummus and not enough pita. That is not the case here, you'll get pita, toasted bread, and a variety of vegetables to scoop up the velvety humus covered in cherry tomatoes, red onion and feta. For date night enjoy a Violet Femme a gin cocktail that tastes as lovely as it looks. The service here is top notch! Everyone is fantastic. I'll have to come back to this review to note the serves names we've had because they have all been exceptional. Now let's talk about the vibe! Postino's nailed the indoor/outdoor feel. Plenty of windows that are open on nice days, plants galore and the decor gives you a cool like rockstar but classy feel. 5 stars doesn't feel like enough.
