I got a rose that I liked enough to have two of, and He started with a Smoked Old Fashioned then had a pour of Buffalo Trace. (should have asked the price on the BT cause it was a ridiculous $16). We shared the Bourbon BBQ sliders and the Spinach dip which were both terrific! There wasn't enough pita for the dip though so we ordered more and it was worth the extra $1.50 but would have been nice to have had the right amount to begin with. The atmosphere is so pleasant! Felt like we were downtown instead of in a corner of the Hibernian Pub. My strong suggestion to them (and I did mention it while we were there) is to put paper towels in the restrooms, because you've got this quiet lovely speakeasy and loud hand dryers. Other than the few little nit-picks we really enjoyed this speakeasy and will definitely be back.

Great concept! We really wanted this speakeasy concept to be a hit, and it can be but not there…read moreyet. After reading about The Dry Cleaners Raleigh Magazine we were excited to try! Prices are great. Drink was fine. Just fine. Furnishings and ambience is nice BUT missed opportunities. Entrance is not what you expect for a Speakeasy. Entrance from inside Hibernian, yes (won't spoil that for you) but exterior entrance is boring and confusing. Could have easily been made much cooler if the employee entrance was another "Dry cleaner entrance" instead of walking all the way around to the front and walking in a glass door. Boring and confusing, could easily have been made a little more like a speak easy. Again the interior is very nicely furnished and bar is very well stocked. The article mentions the professional bartenders. Well the guy in a cut off sweat shirt with his black underwear pulled up above his belted jeans did not ooze professional like the other bartenders that arrived later did. He made our old fashions without an orange peel or cherry and the smoked old fashion was not covered when delivered so presentation was a fail. We did see that around 6:30 someone arrived with a bag of oranges. It was Friday night so should have been better prepared. They have a boring list of special drink, we expected more creativity. Everyone has a painkiller. The bartender did not give me confidence he could create a drink to match my tastes nor was that offered. Perhaps the later shift offers that skill. The small bites were a smaller list than the magazine indicated. The kitchen is clearly shared with the Hibernian as the food comes through that entrance. Having an item or two different would help. The rooms are great, fix the entrances, keep the bartending staff professional, and get some creative cocktails up front. North Raleigh needs a bar and this could very well be a fun place.

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.

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!

So cool! We got a flight of light wines and all were different and pretty decent. I got a pasta dish and really liked the blackened chicken. I'd just be happy to have it on its own. I think the decor could have some softer furnishings to break up the hard angles and lean into the cozy vibe a bit more. Lots of angles and metal. I'd pop in some soft ivory stools at the bar end for a really lux vibe. Hostess and server were nice. Efficient. Definitely a place to keep on rotation.

Walking up to Peri Brothers there are two sides: 1) the fast casual New York slice shop or 2) sleek, full service modern Italian restaurant. We opted for the restaurant side and walking the restaurant feels stylish and sophisticated, yet casual. For drinks, I ordered the Paper Plane (Buffalo Trace, Aperol, Amaro, Lemon) and my partner ordered the Blueberry Lemon Martini. Definitely would lean more toward the Blueberry Lemon Martini as the blueberry flavor was excellent. The Paper Plane was good but was missing something. For entrees I ordered the 16 inch with half Flat Iron District (Pizza sauce, mozzarella, pepperoni, sausage, meatballs, ham, bacon) and half Peri's Hot Honey Pie (Pizza sauce, fresh mozzarella, ricotta, cupping pepperoni, hot honey, sweet drop peppers, basil) and my partner ordered the Gnocchi Pesto (House made ricotta gnocchi, basil pesto, cream, parmesan). Both dishes were excellent. I'd lean more toward the Flat Iron District as the meat was high quality and was very good. The Gnocchi was also excellent and you could literally drink the sauce. Overall, I'd definitely recommend checking out Peri Brothers up in North Raleigh.
