R R: Wonderful spot for drinks. They know their stuff!Service: 5/5|Atmosphere: 5/5 …More
Molly Thompson: The drinks are phenomenal and it’s such a cool vibe. They really take a lot of pride in their drinks and it shows. I got a Kinky So & So and it was delightful and refreshing (I like sweeter cocktails, which aren’t really their specialty…but it’s amazing). Plus, I always feel like I’m in a 1920s speakeasy whenever I go there. One of my favorite little haunts in downtown Raleigh!
Jonathan Barley: Atmosphere: 5/5More
Alec Houston: Drinks are always strong and fairly priced, it’s a chill vibe to come and catch up with friends or a date night. Bartenders are top notch and super friendly. Give it a try, you will not be disappointed!Service: 5/5|Atmosphere: 5/5 …More
Find My Food Stu: You might not find this on a list of best cocktail bars, but it should be listed. The cocktail menu isn’t super long, but the bourbon and whisky list is fantastic. And the bartenders are great and personable. Turns into a local vibe later at night when other industry people get off work.Service: 5/5|Atmosphere: 5/5 …More
Ryan Abate: After all the years and all the other cocktail bars have come and gone, this is still THE best cocktail bar in Raleigh. No competition.
Andrea Martin: This is a bit hidden and you wouldn’t know it was there if not for the tables outside. Go down the stairs into the bar space that has a great feel- to include exposed brick walls.Creative craft cocktails and there is a constant flow of people in and out- if you are at a table- just share. The cocktails are delicious and you can expect to see one’s that are outside the norm. I love that they always ID (at the top of the stairs) even when there is no question as to legal ability to drink.
Daniela Delgado: The best Penicillin cocktail I've had in the world!!!
Rebecca Davis: They often sell liquor that's difficult to snag at the ABC stores!
Crystal Lefoy: Very casual jeans & t-shirt bar... not the place if you are dressed nice & looking for a vibe. As we were about to walk down the steps, a drunk man tripped up the steps and spilled his drinks all over my suede boots. So yeah....that's the crowd here.
Michael J. Reilly III: Went last night for 1st time. Great little bar to grab some cocktails, bartenders were great. Delicious assortment of libations . Fun crowd. Cozy, dark, and sultry. Definitely returning.
Gregory Dial: My wife kept commenting how it was the best drink she ever had
Scott Habeeb: Awesome bourbon bar - great setting - knowledgeable staff
Falan E: By far one of the best craft cocktail bars on my go-to list for 2023.The bartender quickly noticed us and cleared our table as people left.I felt an exclusive hidden gem vibe. Very small and intimate. Extremely fitting for the spaces I enjoy.Foundation is tucked away downstairs in a basement-like space.Very easy to overlook.We dropped in for a nightcap.I ordered The Eastside as the bartender suggested. Very good. The bartenders are top-tier and highly experienced. All around good drinks and laid back atmosphere where I enjoyed being in the moment, so much so that I forgot to snap a photo of the menu. It appeared to change, as there were many specialty craft cocktail options. I look forward to coming back soon.
James Wohlrab: Love this bar! Every cocktail seems so intricate and well thought. I wish I could try them all. The beer selection was eclectic, yet all local. I couldn’t decide on a drink, so I had the bartender make me something from the new menu. I forgot the name, but it was perfect. Not too sweet, and nice and fruity. Everyone there seems to know their stuff.The bar itself is underground on Fayetteville Street. It’s not too large, and it did get busy around 10pm, so be prepared to wait or grab a drink and sit outside.Definitely a must try for locals and visitors alike. Will be back anytime I’m downtown.
Meagan Foster: Chill and welcoming environment. I had a whiskey and ginger and was pleasantly surprised to find out they make the ginger ale in-house. SO delicious!
Martin Schlesinger: My brother went here for a first date and was really nervous. He left the bar for a moment to see his date out and had full well planned on coming back to pay for the drinks. The bartender decided to run outside and yell at my brother, telling him how he was in the wrong. Story has been circulating among my friends. Never going to Foundation after hearing this.
Lauren Stone: superb drinks, lovely atmosphere, knowledgeable bartenders. I enjoyed every drink I tried - HIGHLY recommend
Arielle Drake: Found this place after our original destination was closed and we are so happy we did. Place was small and busy but the bartenders were crazy efficient. Every cocktail was incredible, but Marge Simpsons Maiden Name was the star. 10/10 great drinks from Rance and the rest of the team
Alan Ball: Cool bar with a giant selection of bourbon and whiskey drinks. But don't tell anybody it's there.
Megan (IG: magnoliamegan): Such a cool hidden gem! This bar is built in the basement, and gives a dark and moody private setting as soon as you enter. To find it, look for the red neon sign at ground level + take the steps down! The exposed brick gives it a very speakeasy vibe and the drinks do not disappoint. They are known for their Old Fashioned but they also have a unique variety of craft cocktails!TIP: arrive early on the weekends because there will be a line or be prepared to wait! (But it’s worth it)

Jane Le: Came to see my friends perform for their album release. The staff were really cool and nice but lord it was soooo dim in there. Please use the bathroom before coming because we could BARELY see anything and the toilet paper wasn’t that great so my friends and I felt like we weren’t even sure if we cleaned up properly. The bisexual bathtub drink is to DIEEE FOR, ITS SO GOOD. Also the alcoholic caprisun (caprifun) is good too but I recommend the fruit punch flavor, it’s better than the strawberry kiwi. Also it was insanely hot inside so dress accordingly.
Doctor Quid: Love what comes through this venue!
Alexandra Smith: Love this place!! Jose is my favorite!!
Lynne Babineau: Very poor customer service. There was a mistake on my order for an event, and they ignored me for weeks before finally refusing to correct the mistake. Will not be supporting this venue again.
Joe Profeta: Great queer space with some unique drag shows.They need to get their online presence figured out though. Times and events are often incorrect or overlap. Overlapping would be fine if they were upfront about door times for each event online. And their reliance on Instagram is a hindrance for those of us who do not wish to support Meta.
Krnabrny Dziobak: Amazing… love this place!!!
Yormosi -: Fun little spot with good energy
Koorime Wakamya: First time going to see a friend perform and I had to leave early just because I couldn’t see anything. No seating was available unless you paid for it so everyone was standing crowding around the small stage in this tiny building and unfortunately I am very short and no one would move out of my way. I tried to squeeze around but no one would move. After 40 minutes of not being able to see anyone perform I had enough. It was very disappointing.
Sophie Faye: My wife and I loved this place, it was the highlight of our night. The amateur burlesque show had a lot amazing performances! Love all the positivity! Love Love Love the bartending staff.
Eaton B: this place is disgusting
Chris Campbell: Horrible experience and owner is a bigot that spreds hate and misinformation
uesemsee68 78: Trash establishment. Cockroaches all over the place. Cups covered in dried ketchup. Souls of your shoes stick to the floor from dried ketchup everywhere. And all drinks taste like butt
Mary Walters: The owner is super nice and this place is so cool. It’s nice to find queer spaces that cater to a wide variety of people. Would totally recommend.
John Hite: I don't know about their normal business model as we were just there for their Hopscotch day parties. The music lineups were great. The bar staff was helpful. The slushies were tasty. The beers were reasonably priced.The music shows were hosted outside, which worked out really well since the weather was good. The only real issue was the fact that there's a huge dumpster right next to the outdoor space that stunk to high heaven. Pretty off-putting.
M. Ian Lockey: Love this bar, love the music and dancing, quality curated space for a long time running, bartenders are great. I can’t get here often enough but always have a fun time when I do. Most of all I love their no b.s attitude, high standards and particularity. The nightclub / service industry has to cater to alot of fools, especially those who think they are welcome to spew their rhetoric whenever wherever but are turned off by a set of unwavering principals with backbone. Expect fun and togetherness for all ye compassionate partygoers. Dog bless America.
Blanche McKie: Where the true spirit of America is celebrated! Let freedom ring.
Jeff Tomkinson: A bar who shamelessly allows profanity and driving an agenda? 🤦🏻♂️No thank you. I'll go when the bar gets new management. 👋🏻
Lila Rieber: The vibe is divey with a damp smell, but the staff and clientele are all friendly. A little quieter than I would have hoped for a Saturday night, maybe because of the $10 cover
Kirstin Quigley: I got this rainbow slushee cocktail during the pride festival and it was so good and the service was great!
Emily Allen: Found a live rat on the ground and it started screeching at me like a roach. It climbed up my leg and I was terrified I have a fear of rats. 👍 Never coming back. Everyone was rude to me and was racist to me.
Lily Cloud: One of my favorite bars to go with a group of friends downtown. I could drink those alcoholic smoothies they make all night! Very affordable and I love how they have a downstairs dance floor in addition to an outside sitting section for some fresh air. The bartenders are also always a lot of fun as well.

Kennedy Josephson: it used to be really good, but it has gone down hill. the music is almost exclusively k-pop or house music which isn’t really music i want to listen to in this environment. in addition, the last time i went there a bouncer hit on my partner and when she told him no because she was with me he said we could share. rubbed us both the wrong way.

Mawih Elayah: The best
Emily Roberts: Usually I have fun here (hence the rating) but I was there Sunday night (4/16/23) and I guess I was going out the wrong door (although people had been going that way all night) and once I was already on the other side a man said "no ma'am) and grabbed my arm and yanked me back in. Like full on pulled me cause I was already on the other side. Then he said "the exit is that way". I'm not sure if he was an employee, but he had a black tank top, brown hair, and was very skinny (but also strong). I believe it was a little after 11 in the lobby between flex and the outside bar. If there are cameras it will prove it.
Mickililas Enoch: THE MUSIC SUCK! If you want to TWERK! Forget about it!
Isabel Rodriguez: great club wonderful to hang out at and socialize….but for the love of god change the music or get a new dj so we can hear something other than lukewarm house/pop remixes open to close!! thanks much love xoxo
Elora Herman: Best night ever, such a good time!
Jessica Forster: The music is terrible and way too loud... it’s a really intimate spot so I don’t understand why they need the music so damn loud. Could be a lot better if you could hear yourself and others in there. Fortunately it’s an easy fix but I don’t think they care!
CpBtch: Love it, everytime!!!
LiL Cheryl: Horrible music dj what are you playing techno music just play songs
Rich Conley: Where the who's who of NC Triangle thousandaires (like millionaires, but with thousands) go to party....
Lawrence Cole: Very fun place to visit,the weekend drag show is great!
Molly J: Came here last night, was super fun! This place is a lot bigger than I expected. The drinks were good, dj wasn’t bad but was mostly techno music. The staff was super friendly and we stayed for hours. Definitely coming back!
William Sujack: Great staff. Otherwise this place has gone downhill. Tonight we were there about 20 minutes before leaving. Music was horrible and just about everyone there looked like they were in high school with Xs on their wrist. Probably won’t be going back.
April Miller: Best ever. A no judgement zone. Full of fun and excitement

redcat900: Had a great time for a temporary location at Flex, can't wait until they move to their New home.
Aniket Bhattacharya: Visited on a Saturday night; it was pretty packed as they had a drag show from 11pm until past midnight. Also, it was the Halloween weekend. The drinks were just average for the price we paid, but then again, you won't really expect the finest of cocktails in such places, especially when the bartenders have to cater to a huge turnout of patrons.They charge you $2 extra on entry fee on certain credit cards, so try paying with cash. Also keep some $1 notes handy to tip the drag artistes, etc.Overall, I loved the ambience and would visit again.
Dominic Lenhauser: A mixed crowd, friendly staff, games to play, different bars, shows, dance floor, gift shop, and just drinks are affordable. Nice clean place!
Steve Wade: It's always fun here, love the Legends complex.

Ghenet L: Visited with a few people on a Saturday night. Spun around a bit for parking, but I'm not very familiar with downtown and I made it more complicated than necessary. No wait to get in. Area is upstairs; I noticed what seemed to be a wheelchair lift beside the steps. Spacious. I enjoyed the music. I would return.

T Johnson: Great drinks and music
Jimmy Saad: Best salsa night on Wednesdays. Must go
Greta Dunn: Gorgeous decor amazing service and fabulous drinks. Ask for the VIP service. Phenomenal!
Danica Thomas: Excellent bartenders! Fantastic service, and the best drinks we had all night during our bar crawl! They were also generous with the water, which I really appreciated since a lot of bars scoff at you when you ask for water! They had great music and a good atmosphere.We even saw that the light was on for the Green Light Bar (representing the green light at the end of Daisy Buchanan's dock in "The Great Gatsby"). Four members of our party were able to head back to the mini bar behind the bookcase, and ordered even more fabulous cocktails in a quaint little space holding perhaps enough seating for 20 people.
Tori Barker: Had such an amazing time! We got our drinks pretty quickly, the staff was super nice and the drinks were good. The music was good, there was plenty of room to dance and also plenty of seating options. Will definitely be returning in the future!
Elaine Manabat: First time going here with my husband during our date night. The place was empty I guess coz it was early. The bartenders were excellent, the atmosphere was great. We asked about the greenlight room which I heard about from a coworker. One of the bartenders was kind enough to give us a little peak inside. We've never experienced this much interaction with the bartenders before, maybe because it wasn't busy yet that time. We appreciated the time they took for us. Will be coming back next date night for sure.
Isa Frias: I had such an amazing time at the green light bar! Very unique and chill experience. The most amazing was meeting Jobani! She was really outgoing and funny! She showed me around the architect bar and educated me on the rental details for a party… What I absolutely LOVED was Jobani’s personality, makeup and ensemble! She rocked it and we all were admiring her beauty! I love to go places where the host is a doll and a hoot 😂 Will most definitely return just for her!

Zee: Watts & Ward is a unique place for drinks. It had multiple rooms to sit down and have a drink. I like the vibe with leather couches and unique rustic wooden tables. Watts & Ward also had live music certain days. Definitely recommend if your meeting friends for drinks or just to hangout.
Falan E: I visited Watts & Ward for the first time Sunday evening after 6 pm. The staff at the entrance was welcoming. Watts & Ward is downstairs in a basement-like space. Cute space with vintage aesthetics which is very nice and comfortable with plenty of seating. The overall aesthetics of the space and comfortability is a 4*. A few things on the patio seemed out of place but overall a nice space.This particular evening the bartender in The Mud Room demeanor was not friendly, or enthusiastic. That individual didn't demonstrate good customer service warranting anything over an overall 3* based on my experience. Even the person cleaning off the table didn't engage any.I had a Hendricks mule, not in a mule cup. The lemon and ginger were overpowering - way too much carbonation. I like that I get more bang for my buck in the tall glass but as a courtesy, the bartender could share they don't carry the copper mules. This would've leveled up the experience. For me, a copper mule cup is necessary for a proper Moscow Mule.Customer service usually inspires me to return places but in this case, it's the space and others who have enjoyed themselves. I hope to return for the comedy night in the future, hopefully, a better experience.
Mariss: Watts & Ward is a unique 1920’s themed speakeasy style bar located on S. Blount St in downtown Raleigh situated in the basement of the Montague building. It features 4 bars, The Mud Room, Main Bar, Patio & Library. I have visited twice now and enjoy the grown & sexy vibe and diverse mature crowd here. The staff whom I’ve interacted with appear to enjoy their place of work and take pride in that. I visited recently on a Sunday when service was slower during the holiday and this evening for comedy night. The service was excellent tonight, the bartenders were very friendly and bar service was offered while seated. I’ve ordered the Far East Ricky with Tanqueray Gin, Lime, Cucumber, Mint and a Egg White and the Penicillin with Johnnie Walker Red Label, Ginger, Honey, Lemon, Islay Scotch and enjoyed both. I love the classic jams they play as well. Good music. Ryan who worked the door tonight urged me to return for live jazz on Thursday.I really enjoy how the Prohibition and Roaring 20’s vibe is carried throughout the venue. It makes you feel like you flew off a page of the Great Gatsby. This venue is huge and features a beautiful garden patio. I look forward to returning for the live Jazz night, patio and more comedy.
Hayward Campbell: Nice atmosphere, awesome bar staff, one of my favorites
Lydia Vandemark: best cocktails i’ve ever had!! sandra and hannah were absolutely amazing and made me drinks to my personal taste and couldn’t have loved the vibe more!!!
Joshua Abantohollans: Great pub with a speakeasy vibe! Once you go down the stairs and through the hall, you encounter several rooms that resemble a private library and several bars servicing them. But the real treat is the outside patio area! Super comfortable & relaxing yet still true to it’s prohibition ambiance!
Andrew B: What an amazing place! Great bartenders in a really cool setting.
Aaron Brown: Always have a good time at Watts & Ward. Live, jazz music always hits too.
River E: Super cozy vibes
Courtney Wilkins: Live music indoor outdoor bar. Atmosphere is sexy relaxed with a cool vibe.
Gab Riela: Favorite place to have drink with friends!
Sophia Alexandria: This is my absolute favorite bar/lounge out here. This a beautiful place and it's massive. Sometimes they have live bands. The drinks are good as well. I love the ambiance and the vibe. I love the history and the culture of this place.
Chance LeBron: Great atmosphere and great drinks!
Jorge Santoyo: Can often get crowded, but there is no other place like it. The indoor bars and outdoor section are both great atmospheres and their drinks are great.
Becky Collins (blueayes): First visited just before COVID, and then moved away. We finally got to visit again and it did not disappoint at all. One of our favorite places in downtown Raleigh and can't wait to come back! Super comfortable, wonderful vibe with exceptional drink options.

Elis D.: An okay night turned real bad real fast , don’t go here if you want to get a drink thrown at you by the bar tender the guy with the beard 🧔♂️ wouldn’t tell us his name either , horrible attitude was saying inappropriate things to my brothers girlfriend, he told him to stop and he got mad and started to trying to fight us , even threw his card at her, and the bouncer knew bartender was in the wrong and still took his side and kicked us out . We never did anything wrong other customers were upset about the situation as well , it was no wonder there was 15 people or less in there on a Friday night , mean while every other place is packed , so much more to the story but I should’ve started with the bartender was having drinks to begin with and seemed like alcohol wasn’t the only substance in his system . Anyways if you want your night ruined go here

He was bartending and cooking and I got the best service I've gotten coming here over the past couple of years. He actually spoke to us and made sure to articulate when he was behind and as a manager I respected that but he got us our food and drinks in a timely fashion and really gsve good service... definitely coming back!
Munney PTE: Great prices and a full range of selection. Dive bar kinda vibe for locals but you're close to the Morgan St marketplace for food options and Glenwood is around the corner for more bars/clubs
Stylez Queen: I absolutely LOVE the monkey, the only dislike is the owner and how she looks down on people. I googled bars near me when I first moved to Raleigh and been coming here for 3 years. JB, Misty and Terence are the best bartenders in town and their drinks are always on point. There are 3 pool tables and a few other games, great spot to watch the game in peace and just overall chill atmosphere.
John: Divey
Nya Wilson: Actual parking lot even though it's downtown, which is nice. Bartenders were cool and friendly.

Tommie Tutone: I went to Ugly Monkey on Sunday the 7th of May 2023 and when I closed my tab, my receipt had a tip added and my signature was forged. I would have tipped the same or more but the fact that the bartenders signed for me turned my stomach. Look over your receipt just in case.

Oscar Nemeth: A fantastic little bar adjacent to the Morgan St. food hall, Aunty Betty's has a great selection of different cocktails, a very knowledgeable and friendly bartender who is great at making custom one-off cocktails, and really high quality liquors, liqueurs, vermouths, etc. to make anything you could imagine.Stopping by in the middle of the day is always great since it's usually not terribly busy. In the summer when you need to cool off it's great - the bartender is a huge hydrohomie and his cocktails are always cool and refreshing.The prices seem high until you realize just how expensive some of the bottles used in the drinks are, the creative process behind the drinks, the skill in mixing, and the fact that you're in a popular part of Raleigh.
Casey Mozingo: Stumbled across this bar in Morgan Street Food Hall. The art drew me in and the drinks kept me there. Love the menu, especially all of the options that leave the decision in the hands of the bartender. How fun!Service: 5/5|Atmosphere: 5/5 …More
dan smith: This was my first time here and it was early for cocktails but the atmosphere was great. The small bar was mostly filled with folks (bartenders?) talking shop with the bartender who was obviously well respected by the folks at the bar. Gin and tonic and bartender’s choice dirty martini were both lovely. Several local bartenders have recommended Aunty Betty’s for craft cocktails and I was definitely not disappointed and will comeback soon.
Marianna Erika: So the vibes are immaculate here. I often get the "IDK just make me a weird daquiri" and I have yet to be disappointed. Unfortunately, during the weeknights they have usually one bartender and it can take upwards of 20 min to get a drink. This has happened on 2 occasions. On the weekend, I have not had this problem.Service: 4/5|Atmosphere: 5/5 …More

Meredith Gburek: This place hits on so many levels: the drinks are creative, the vibes are on point and the customer service is always superb. You need to make a stop at this chic, unique spot!
Morgan Laney: One of the best experiences I’ve had at a bar, I could not recommend this enough. It’s beautiful, small, excellent music playing. Both the bartenders were fun and engaging and made incredible drinks. It’s a nice place to go if you’re alone because the atmosphere is so lovely.
Nya Wilson: Excellent customer service, the staff were all knowledgable and this is one of the most unique atmoshphere's for a bar I have ever experienced. There's a lot of nature elements, beautiful plants, and it's so relaxing.
Sophia Alexandria: This place is very cool. It's a small place located in downtown Raleigh. The coolest thing about this place is that you can tell the bartenders to make you something based on how you feel. For example, you can say, "I have mixed feelings." The bartender can make you a drink based on that. The drinks were very good I have to say. The bartender that is from Congo is amazing. Definitely have him make you something!
krystle c: The bartender and server I had were wonderful. The atmosphere is ambient. I absolutely love this bar, cannot recommend enough.
Doug Chipponeri: Incrayab. Daf.
mariomario42: Visiting from out of town and this place was fantastic! Such a well designed space with kind and lovely staff. Even asking to get local gins, they were happy to oblige and served up some tasty drinks.
Lawrence Cole: Nice gin bar,great bartenders
block chainge: A little overpriced by any standard, and I’m far from cheap, but the drinks are really good. A bit annoying that you have to be seated at a bar with no food. Bar seats or bust here in my opinion if 2 people or less, as the experience otherwise is inferior.
