I was at the owners were there so have some time I have a conversation with them and they were super nice and friendly. Let us walk around the entire shop and answer all questions and total some history. It's a college vibe but not an undergrad vibe if that makes any sense. You may see some grass students or whatever the case may be, but you wouldn't find a bunch of 19-year-olds piled up in this kind of spot. It used to be small apparently but they expanded it out to a back room and an attic kind of situation. It seems like a attic kickback kind of spot. Really homish or something you will find in a living room. It made it on the top list of speakeasies on Yelp so I had to check it out while I was in the area. I would 100% recommend.

Walking up to the bar it's a bit hard to find, but look for the wooden sign that says "Belltree" off of Brewer Lane than you've located this bar. Walking into the bar you'll feel like you've walked into a grown up, local, and upscale speakeasy. For my drink I ordered the last word cocktail (house gin, luxardo maraschino, green chartreuse, and lime juice). The drink was excellent and the bartender explained how rare it is to find a bar with green chartreuse as it became a huge staple during the pandemic. Overall this bar was good, and definitely worth checking out for a drink or two.

I was here recently for a concert, and Abigail noticed my band t-shirt, complemented it and then slyly played them on the speakers. Talk about going the extra mile!

We sat at the bar with Chris who is a master at his craft. He really takes pride in creating the perfect cocktail. They have so many different liquors that I've never seen in my life and they have barrel bourbons that they make on premise. We started with an Old Fashioned and a Bramble. Both were perfectly prepared. For my second drink I tried the Painkiller and it was the best one I've ever had. Don't tell the Soggy Dollar Bar! Thank you Chris for a wonderful experience. We highly recommend this bar.

I loved the music-themed menu concept, it fits the atmosphere so well. It is a little dark and moody. I ordered the Punk Rock Riot (a vodka drink), and my partner got a whiskey drink. Both were excellent. The Friday night vibes were great, and we had a fantastic time sitting at the bar and soaking it all in. The staff were friendly, the atmosphere was welcoming, and it felt like a place where you could easily spend a few hours enjoying good drinks, music, and company. As a bonus, I found out they sell cake too! I didn't try it this time, but it's definitely on my list for the next visit. A patron recommended the strawberry cake. As I say in many of my reviews: I'll be back.

You can order bar snacks from acme down the street, but don't miss out on the cake that will tempt you from its display on the bar.

Everyone is super nice and makes you feel right at home. I stopped in for a football game, decked in rival gear and was greeted like family. The bartender went out of his way to make sure I had the most bang for my buck and even hooked me up with some tailgate swag. If you are looking for cosmos and lemontinis this probably isn't the bar for you (even though they'll make 'em). But if you like simplicity with good people and great whiskey definitely stop by, you won't regret it.

Unfortunately, when we returned the bar was quite full and very much focused on the UNC basketball game, so we pulled up to the stools along the window and ordered our drinks. Although room is tight, it was a comfortable and friendly environment, they even had an extensive selection of games, to include many board games. The bartender was an absolute sweetheart and didn't skip a beat. We finally saw a vacancy at the bar continued drinks from there.
