    Espresso Martini
    Kelly S.

    Cute Bar meets coffee house feel. They had live music when we went on Friday night and was very busy around 8/9 pm. The bar is very festive with Halloween decor and had one of the best espresso martinis I've ever had. I will say it's not the cheapest drink spot but they do have a nice variety of different craft cocktails.

    Whiskey Sour - Old Fashion - signature tequila drink
    Andrea M.

    We stopped in about 8pm and we were pleasantly surprised by the cozy atmosphere and the great music coming from The man playing the piano. You can tell they take great pride in their signature drinks. We didn't see one drink that came out that did not look like a piece of art when delivered. They were not busy, when we arrived and the bartender came over and took our order at the table. Keep in mind once they do get busy, you are to order at the bar.

    Fun, inventive cocktails in a kitschy, spooky jazz-bar atmosphere. We had great service, and we will be back!

    Served 1 drink, then ignores while they served the ladies. Sat there for 20 minutes empty. Tough to be a man sometimes.

I was impressed with so many of them, that I knew I had to make the journey from Raleigh to Wake Forest. On a chilly Saturday afternoon, I took the lone remaining seat at the bar. The service was incredible friendly (Cheers!) and they let me try 4 samples, which was very much appreciated. My favorites were the Juicy January and and the Yellow Submarine, both are Hazy IPAs. The JJ had hints of creamy pineapple in it, refreshing without being too light. The YS tasted a little more balanced, a really good all around beer. The Where I Belong was also good, this one leaned a little more towards West Coast, but it didn't have a strong piney taste like a lot of West Coasts can. I even noticed hints of caramel in it as well, which helped to counter the hops. There are several TVs and they'll put on just about any game you request. Also if you're into pumpkin beer, try the Pumpkin Amber when it's around. It's a Top 3 pumpkin beer that I've ever tried, and I've tried at least 25.

Lonerider was very accommodating and accessible for both humans and dogs. Let's talk about beer and cocktails. As I was DD, you'll have to take my spouse's word for the beer. He enjoyed a couple of IPA's on the menu, and they very kindly made me a mocktail for half the price (which I'm grateful for as the drive back to Northern VA is kind of long, and I don't need to get pulled over with two newly adopted beagles already scared for their lives.) The outlaw extra menu, which is made up of specialty kegs on tap, also had a good variety on it. The big screen with all the different beers currently available is pretty cool. And I like that there's a fridge stocked up with take home beers, too. Plenty of parking outside. The beer garden was packed full of people and dogs and pop-up shops, still with room to sit and enjoy a beer or two. Inside there was plenty of seating and room to move around without stepping on any paws. I love that a portion of the proceeds from these events always goes back to TriBeagles, and I'm thankful for local businesses supporting these precious dogs in finding homes by providing event space. I wish we lived closer, Lonerider. We'd be here all the time.

I've been to the Cary location several times and their brewing products are mostly in the English style that I like generally. They do have wine, Prosecco and a bar that offers a limited cocktail menu. It's a thing these days to go to a brewery and see the tanks and brewing equipment but, their brewing operation is at the Cary location, which is impressive. If I remember right, they made their own yeast for their beer recipes. I liked their Kolsch and Best Believer from the sampler I had. They also have rotating food trucks on weekends, primarily, that will be parked at the rear of the establishment.

The sports bar is divided into two sections: a dining room with tables and booths, and a bar with high-top seating. The restaurant was fairly quiet until the karaoke was about to start. Then it seemed like you needed to scream to hear a conversation. They also have trivia nights, so that likely isn't as loud. I ordered the Wagyu Burger, and it was cooked to order and delicious. The mashed potatoes for the side were lukewarm and rather dry and bland. The way they were presented at the table made it seem as if they were meant to go with something, like butter or gravy. I would not recommend the mashed potatoes, but the burger was delicious. The sweet potato fries, another had as a side, looked good, as did a salad. Service seemed good at first with the drink and food orders. But once the food was brought out, I don't think we saw the waitress again until it was time for the checks. A bill with a credit card for another guest at a different table was even brought out with the processed checks. So make sure you get the correct credit card back.
