Right in the…read moreheart of downtown Raleigh, this upscale brewery blends historic brick charm with a stunning custom library and unique touches of elegance at every turn. We enjoyed several small plates, and not a single dish disappointed. Every bite was memorable. The atmosphere makes it the perfect spot for date night, a girls' night out, or even a quick lunch while enjoying a good read. A beautiful space, incredible food, and an unforgettable evening.

I stopped in just a they were opening on a Friday and thank goodness I showed up when I did, this place gets packed quick and you should book a reservation to be on the safe side. I was most excited about the duck egg rolls but ended up being my least favorite not because they were slightly on the dry side. Flavor was good, and the hoisin honey sauce really helped! The seafood dumplings were second best, stuffed full. The soup based was amazing and it also came with some bread for dipping in the leftover sauce. The pork and chive shumai were my favorite! A little bit bigger than bit sized but worth the mouth full! Absolutely would recommend. I'll 100% be back for more food. The bar side looked to be more casual, the dinning room was full of high tea attire so I did feel a little under dressed, thought it would be slightly more casual. They have the cutest library with free books to read but only while you dine in. The flower and book shop are in the middle of the space. Super cute, limited options but great for a last minute bouquet!

Their drink selection is solid with plenty of options to choose from and the staff were friendly and welcoming. The only thing to keep in mind is parking. Parking right by the brewery is limited so it's probably best finding parking at the parking deck or street parking a little farther down and walking over. Great first experience.

I'm not a huge beer drinker but was still impressed at the plethora of options (International beer on the 2nd floor, Domestic Beer on the first floor, and a separate liquor bar on the first floor as well). So if you are looking for a LOT OF BEER OPTIONS, this is a good place to start/try. I tried a flight of ciders because that's as close to beer as I would typically get (I've attempted to try so many with beer fest but I just can't get into it) and I couldn't choose what I wanted so I had the wonderful bartender select them for me. She provided amazing, friendly service because as indecisive as I can be, she was very patient. For a meal, I order the Jalapeño burger and it was delicious. The jalapeño is basically the sauce that gives the kick you're looking for, not actual jalapeños, and it comes with plenty of fries. Again, I left not a single crumb lol This place is really cool inside and looks like something out of a fairytale with the trees growing through the restaurant. I love plants and nature so for me it was everything. I'd love to see it at night and check out how it's lit up, certain it looks beautiful!

I'll give you the fact that the burger was more than enough, it was perhaps one of my top 5 worst burgers that I have ever eaten! Dried out, no sheen, very little taste!

Went on a Thursday for an after work gathering, so the drinks were paid for as a note. I will say I…read moredid look at the menu and the prices seemed pretty average. Cocktails were a little high at $13 when some bars in Chapel Hill are around $9 but also I think the spot is usually used for business meetings and happy hours considering the downstairs area isn't large and the upstairs area is kept for events. Overall the place was clean, I loved the big opening door/windows upstairs that allow in fresh air. I think the bartenders were pretty nice- they made some interesting drinks without over doing the alcohol so they were well mixed. I wouldn't say I'd be back personally for just the downstairs bar since I don't really do sports but it's a cool place for small events/ hang outs.

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.

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.
