    Hidden tap is really a hidden location down a long road in the suburb of Cary. Super local bar location. So local that when you walk in they give you a look to make sure its not someone they know. We went during Karaoke night and had a blast. Nothing special just a local bar to relax at.

    Great prices! The atmosphere is relaxing. This is the cleanest bar I've ever been to. The bar stools are so comfortable.

Called store and the clerk said it was already picked up. Not by me. He told me nothing he could do, so get a refund from UE. Contacted UE and they said no refund unless 48 hours within time store indicated order complete- I couldn't know they did. UE said store would have to scan my ID to release order. Called store, nope- they don't look at or scan ID. They said someone must've come in and "given my name." No way. They did nothing to correct or take responsibility. Avoid this place and shop elsewhere.

Really good selection as far as microbrews go, but I thought it was a little bit of a turnoff that there hardly were any sales going on, vs. other stores carrying a good bit of microbrews and craft beer. Still, I have to give this store credit, since it wasn't bad. And I even picked one up to go. If you don't feel like trekking to say a Binny's or other grocery chain store(Jewel, etc.) to get beer, this isn't a bad local option to get craft beer at. I'd hope the owner would somewhat step up the number of sales they do, since I noticed much fewer vs. other independent stores carrying craft beers for whatever weird reason. Their wine selection also appeared to be good from what I saw of it, but I paid less attention to that section since I'm not much into wine.

    It was our first time coming to Spirit Water for a Friday night Funnier By The Lake Comedy show…read more The atmosphere is very laid back, but festive with the lights and layout, and I love the comfy couch corner area. I appreciate that the place is dog friendly too. The owners and staff here are fantastic and make you feel immediately welcomed. They take time to educate you on their selections and share some of the unique history of this place. I enjoyed the bourbon, on ice, very much, and also tried a shot of amaretto and a tequila. I will definitely be back to try more of their spirits, as everything I tried was smooth, flavor filled, and just left me wanting more! Thank you, Spirit Water, and Funnier By The Lake Comedy, for a memorable Friday night experience.

Loved the fact that he asked if we had ever been - he gave us the low down and explained the drink menu. They have lots of different choices for beer & spirits. The Amaretto Stone Sour (receipt said 10 oz for $12 - it was more like 5 ounces) & Vodka Elderflower ($6) were both very good. They also sell spirits by the bottle, hats & other items. Great place to pick up something local! The place doesn't appear to serve food and they have a couple seating areas away from the bar both inside & outside where you congregate with friends. I will admit I had a tough time picking just one drink to have so I will be back!

    My cousin got married at Wild Onion, and the banquet space itself is absolutely beautiful. The main…read morereception hall features a large stone window behind the wedding party table, and there is a patio just outside that overlooks the water, which makes for a gorgeous setting. While Wild Onion is clearly a great venue for events, it is also a restaurant and brewery, so I am focusing this review more on the food and dining experience. We ate here for my cousin's wedding rehearsal dinner and were seated in a red carpeted room connected to the main reception hall. Unfortunately, this space felt out of place compared to the rest of the venue. It did not match the elegant vibe of the main hall and was a bit dark and dingy, which was somewhat off-putting at first. Service-wise, our waitress was wonderful. She was sweet, personable, and had a fun, upbeat personality that helped improve the overall experience right at the beginning. For my meal, I ordered the Kickin' Chicken Sandwich ($17). It is a hand-breaded chicken breast topped with honey garlic sauce, pepper jack cheese, bacon, chipotle mayo, and fried jalapenos. The sandwich had a really nice balance of flavors and was easy to eat, but despite the name, it was not spicy at all. I enjoyed it, though I did find the portion a bit small, and it did not fill me up. I chose cheese curds as my side, and those were a highlight. They were crispy, flavorful, and absolutely delicious. Also, because I am currently pregnant, I had an absolutely delicious mocktail. I sadly don't remember the name of the one I ordered, but I am here to say that it had a good balance of flavors. Overall, Wild Onion has a large menu with a wide variety of options, along with many different side choices, some for an additional charge. There truly is something for everyone. While the rehearsal dinner space itself was not ideal, the food, service, and overall selection still made for a positive experience.

But I was pleasantly surprised by the food too. I got the cheeseburger sliders which were really good. Moist, tasty, and the perfect size for a slider. I ordered fries on the side and wasn't expecting the portion size. They gave an entire basket of fries that easily could have fed the party of four adults I was there with. Crispy, flavorful, loved them. The cheese curds were also great, paired with a sauce recommended by the bartender. I wish I could remember what it was, definitely some type of sweet/salty almost teriyaki sauce. So, so good. I don't drink alcohol much so I can't comment on the drinks but everyone we were there with seemed to enjoy them. So much so, they ordered several. Great vibes here. They had the front window open for a beautiful sixty degree day. Music was on. Everyone there both staff and other customers were all really nice and we had a great time. Turns out our bartender was the owner of the bar and he was just fantastic. Attentive but not overly so. I'd recommend this place if you're looking for a great place for a drink and a bite to eat.
