    Front of the Aloft with teh X XYZ bar.
    Bruce K.

    The WXYZ is a fixture at the Aloft chain of hotels. It's a separate business but it's attached to and inside the hotel. And you can still charge your bill to your room. Sometimes with live entertainment and sometimes with just background music, you'll find beer, other drinks, snacks and meals. There's a pool table and comfy seating. At the end of a long day, the very cold beer that I enjoyed here before turning in for the night was very welcome. Great friendly service.

    This bar is located in the lobby of the aloft hotel. The atmosphere is cute, cool and unique. There's lots of seating, TVs and a pool table. While I loved staying at Aloft the bar left much to be desired. The bartender was much more interested in talking to her friend than doing anything else. They didn't have a lot of things so they couldn't make a Singapore sling or a amaretto sour. But what left a bad taste in my mouth, literally, was the sex on the beach. It was the worse drink I've ever tasted in my life. The drink hit my tongue and it immediately made me want to throw up. I think I took two sips and she saw the look of disgust on my face so she very kindly poured the atrocity down the drain. Apparently she makes a strong whiskey and coke if you're into that but definitely stay far away from the sex on the beach

    By far, 5+ stars...the bar was amazing. Not only was the food good & ambience perfect BUT my guy, the bartender, Larry, was top notch. His drinks..omgsh, absolutely delicious...art. Amazing service, he definitely cares for his customers & his food/drinks/service/reputation. DEFINITELY recommend. If you're ever in the area, definitely stay at this hotel &/or visit this bar. 15/10. Also, I had the burger & fries & had just gotten in from the airport...delicious.

    This is the ad

    Not sure if breakfast is done by WXYZ or Aloft. The images and descriptions of the breakfast bowls are pretty good. What you get is just barely fit.

    Very cool hip decor'

Was not happy when we approached the hostess, we were placed on a wait list because of kitchen staffing shortage with tons of open tables. When we sat at the bar, we asked if the kitchen was backed up and she said, no. Setting that aside and giving 4 stars for the bar service and quality of food and cocktails.

We wanted to give them the benefit of doubt and saw they had love island watch parties. We came early to secure a spot. Told the host why we came and he sat us right by the TV. We waited for it to begin. We tried to order the theme drinks and were told no because it's only when the show begins. (Mind you this was 10 mins prior to show time) Then the show was supposed to begin and none of the tvs were on the show. We watched them play with remotes for 15 mins. Still they didn't put it on the half of the bar were 4 groups were waiting. 30mins into the show we didn't see our server, no one told us it was only showing in the pool area. Us and another table had to get up to see it was on the other side of the bar. Mind you, there was no sound for a WATCH PARTY! So people were reading subtitles. Finally our server came and apologized about it not being on our side. We asked for the check and she charged us for those drinks WE NEVER GOT! That were sitting at the bar for 30mins. (That if you remember we couldn't order?!?) Then she hands us the drinks when we asked, now melted and still we had to pay for them even though we were literally leaving.

    Looking for authentic Irish pub vibes in North Carolina? Trali Irish Pub absolutely delivers!…read more I had to order the Shepherd's Pie, and it did not disappoint. Rich, slow-cooked beef stew topped with a beautifully swirled layer of creamy mashed potatoes--it was the ultimate comfort food. To pair with it, I enjoyed "The First Squeeze," a refreshing wheat beer from a local North Carolina brewery that complemented the meal perfectly. I planned to skip dessert...but then I spotted the Baileys Cheesecake on the menu. Resistance was futile, and I'm so glad I gave in! It was the perfect sweet ending to a fantastic meal. With its warm, authentic Irish atmosphere, friendly staff, and delicious food, Trali Irish Pub is definitely worth a visit. Sláinte!

    I needed a nosh before a meeting and who doesn't love an Irish Pub?…read more This was my first time visiting Trali and won't be my last. It was about 6pm and the dining room was about half full, but everyone seemed in good spirits and many were watching the World Cup. The hostess sat me at a table near the entrance and facing the bar, I had a book with me to catch up on and planned to read a bit. Within a few minutes, the server came around, showed me the beer list and asked if I wanted anything else. When she returned, she saw that I had a book and very attentively asked if I would like to be moved to a quieter table... yes please! She mentioned that a 16 top was due any minute and they'd be taking up the large bar top in the center of the room, and it'd probably get pretty loud. She then talked with the hostess, and they moved me into, the library, of all rooms... how apropos... It's literally adjacent to the open bar area, but walled off and with a definite library vibe. I was sat in a corner table and with perfect ambiance. Looking over the menu, I couldn't really decide on a dish, but I wanted something more traditional Irish. I finally chose the Boxty potatoes topped with corned beef and it was a perfect portion. Everything came out to the table quickly, perfectly hot, and portioned well. I loved the mix of flavors and textured from the baked mashed potato to the shredded corned beef, and finished every single bite. I finished two chapters of my book and was pleased to see another patron in that room also reading. All in all, a night well spent and will definitely return when I'm in the area.

They have beer, wine and premixed cocktails on tap and also have whiskey. They also have soft drinks and canned craft beers that you can purchase as well. They have pretty typical bar food menu items that were, really good. Our group tried a pizza, the pretzel bites, garlic bread, nachos, and mac and cheese bites. The pretzel and mac and cheese bites were my favorite. Trivia was fun but it was a little hard to hear unfortunately. The acoustics or microphone or both were a bit challenging, but fun nonetheless! Will definitely return!

    I suggest you never come here. False advertising and an incredibly disappointing experience…read more The advertisement clearly says that Fridays include the first drink on them. When we arrived, we were told that promotion was only from 6-8 PM. That restriction was not clear in the advertisement....please see the screenshots/photos. Unfortunately, that was just the beginning. They were out of the only Sauvignon Blanc they offered, and multiple dishes on the menu were unavailable. When dishes were available, they didn't have the sides that were supposed to come with them, for example, buffalo wings but no celery. When we spoke to the very young manager about our experience, her only response was, "Sorry." The cauliflower I ordered was actually good, but my friend tried ordering several different items and was told they were unavailable. She eventually went next door to get something else to eat. She brought it back unopened and hadn't even started eating it. Despite the fact that I had ordered food and had a drink from this restaurant, we were then asked to move to the other restaurant's outdoor seating because my friend had brought her food back. She was literally waiting until we got back to the hotel to eat it (to go) The entire experience was frustrating from beginning to end. Poor communication, misleading advertising, limited availability, and customer service that did nothing to resolve the situation. I would never, ever go here again. Ps the place where my friend got food was 5 star (Shawarma). We should have known as they were packed and Hoppy House was a ghost town!

Walking in the restaurant feels upscale, casual, sophisticated. To be seated you'll check in with the host and then be shown to your table. Once seated we ordered the Lulu Bang Bang Shrimp (battered and fried, served over crispy noodles with bang bang sauce, scallions) which unfortunately weren't very good. The batter seemed like it wasn't fried enough so the texture was chewy and not crispy. For entrees, I ordered the Mongolian Beef (sliced beef, garlic, onions, mushrooms, sweet savory soy, sesame oil) and my partner ordered the Yellow Curry (Braised chicken, green papaya, yellow onions, scallions, cashew). The Mongolian beef meat was so tender, however that really the only thing I wanted to eat in the bowl as the onions were still pretty raw and mushrooms weren't tender. The Yellow Curry was good but on the sweeter side with the papaya. Each entree was served with a side of rice. For Dessert we ordered the Thai tea crème brûlée (with a small scoop of vanilla gelato) which was very good and may have been my favorite part of the meal. Overall, I'm not sure if I'll be back but I'm glad we tried Lulu Bang Bang. If I return I would maybe try the sushi and some of the other appetizers.

The food is where it loses me because of how expensive it is and how it just not good enough to justify the price. We went for our 5 year anniversary. We called ahead to have the whole duck. But it definitely not a whole duck. It definitely was a lovely experience but it a bit expensive and not every part of the duck like we thought. We got some appetizers. We ordered the wellness soup and the tea smoked fish fillet. Both were super yummy. We ordered this lobster dish which right away was too rubbery and overcooked after one bite. The wait staff was quick to suggest us to order something else after noticing we didn't love it. He took our lobster away and we went with the seafood Tom Yum. It was yummy but again not worth the price. I have had more flavorful options for a better price. We got the tea which was wonderful. It was nice how they kept it warm and kept refilling the hot water. We got some dessert which was yummy but nothing special. Again I think it was a good place but for the price it needs to be more consistent and have a better wow factor.
