If you're a wine lover, I highly recommend Bottle Theory. They have an incredible selection of wines. They also offer AI-powered wine profile search. It helps match you with wines based on your preferences making choosing easy. The atmosphere is laid back. You can relax, enjoy a glass, and really take your time. The staff is knowledgeable and friendly. I ended up purchasing a bottle based on an employee's recommendation, brought it to a gathering, and it became the crowd favorite. Highly recommend! read more

Amazing upscale brewery. They have a ton of different beer options and a lot of indoor and outdoor seating. They allow dogs to be inside and out which was great. They have games for kids to play along with a lot of can selections you can buy from. Normally there is a food truck outside since they don't serve food. The staff were very friendly and they had someone in there giving free samples to encourage their brand. Great place to go on a Saturday afternoon for a quick drink. read more

This is a relaxing, neighborhood brewery! If I lived nearby, this would be a great local haunt. Reminds me of the breweries in Durham. So, I do not have a good reason to drive to Apex for this. But, they also had a hard seltzer on tap and wine! So, they are not limited to beer. If you live in Apex and looking for a comfortable bar, this is the place to go! read more

Bottle Theory is a wine and beer bottle shop and just recently also added coffee to their morning menu. You will find seating, bottles of beer in the fridges, international wines along the walls and a nice bar with barstools and menus. There is patio seating as well and food trucks on rotation in the evenings . They offer wine tastings on certain nights and trivia on Thursdays. We stopped in to try a coffee drink and were impressed with Zach's coffee knowledge. Coffee is served in paper cups to dine in our take out. read more

Yesterday was Oktoberfest at Bottle Theory. Unlike lots of other Oktoberfest events, this one was family and pet friendly. It didn't get rowdy and guests had a good time. Bottle Theory has 30 taps with a wide variety of wines, beers and ciders to choose from plus lots of bottled and canned beer as well. The surprise was the quality of their bottled wine selections -- their wine manager/buyer has assembled a very diverse selection moderate to expensive/limited choices. Food was provided by the Portable Portugy food truck and was very good. Definitely worth another visit! read more

This bottle shop is awesome!! The bartenders are very friendly and knowledgeable and will let you try several samples before committing to a pint. There's a vast selection of craft beers on tap and their bottle selection is impressive too! They also have a lot of wine options if that's your preference. They have a lot of indoor and outdoor seating, but our favorite spot to sit was in one of their cozy booths. You could control the lighting and the radio volume! It's perfect for date night! We also ordered food from the Bomb A$$ food truck and it was delicious! We are looking forward to returning soon. read more

They had good drinks and the woman bar tender was very pleasant. That being said while we were sitting at the bar and had asked for a sample the male bartender walked up and said what do you want in a nasty tone as someone who bartends they weren't busy enough to have an attitude like he did it's a bottle shoppe not a club packed 4 rows back. Immediately after he said that we decided to go elsewhere the attitude wasn't worth it read more

Awesome beer and wine selection to enjoy on premise or take home. Love the vibe and find the gated kids play area with parent bar stools on the side to supervise kiddos useful but humorous. A little off the beaten path for now but lots of construction in the area with potential to become a neighborhood hangout. Only downside is their prices are higher than other similar establishments. read more

Nice brewery ambience with good line of beers including stouts and IPAs. They also serve a selection of wine and bottled beer. Family friendly. The service was quick. They have good sitting arrangements. We ordered assortment of beers including double and triple IPAs, stouts and lager. All tested fresh in aroma, flavor and tastes. The IPAs were on fruity side and not too carbonated or bitter. Overall good beers. They have food truck to serve food but no dining. Good experience and will return! read more

I've been here about 10 times now. The beer selection is first rate, but it is way, way, way overpriced IMO. Plus, no 32 oz growlers, only 64. I keep coming back because of the selection, but the $15 Prarie Artesian for 12 oz maybe it's time to stop. I get paying top price for some of the top rated beers but I think you can do better at other bottle shops. read more

We ended up at this spot on a cloudy afternoon. What a cool place ! My girlfriend drinks wine and I'm more in to beer. So this place was perfect as they had great selections on tap for both. And the staff was super cool! I wish I had caught the names of the bartenders. But they were very helpful and on point with tending to our questions and needs. We will definitely be back ! Oh, and they did have food. There's a nice spot in the back (outside) to enjoy nice weather and there are some private booths inside as well. Definitely check it out. Hopefully they will eventually create a spot in my town of Holly Springs. God knows we need it! read more
