I was at the owners were there so have some time I have a conversation with them and they were super nice and friendly. Let us walk around the entire shop and answer all questions and total some history. It's a college vibe but not an undergrad vibe if that makes any sense. You may see some grass students or whatever the case may be, but you wouldn't find a bunch of 19-year-olds piled up in this kind of spot. It used to be small apparently but they expanded it out to a back room and an attic kind of situation. It seems like a attic kickback kind of spot. Really homish or something you will find in a living room. It made it on the top list of speakeasies on Yelp so I had to check it out while I was in the area. I would 100% recommend.

On the recommendation of a woman running an estate sale where we stopped, we went to The Hen and Hog for lunch. From the start, it was a lovely experience. Our waitress, Diann, was so friendly and fun. The menu looked so good that we all decided together what to order so we could try a bunch of things by sharing. The decor inside is super interesting- the states listed on the stairs, historical documents on the walls, really neat industrial and wood decor. I tried the pork sandwich box which was amazing!

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.

My wife and I came at opening so the bar was completely empty initially, but it filled up by the time we left. There was a pretty impressive array of comfortable seats, although they looked a little dusty to me. When we chose our initial seats, the bartender came over, apologized, and told us that the chairs we had chosen were only for parties of 3 or 4 :) Kind of strange but whatever. We chose a different set of chairs and ordered our beverages. Honestly, it took a very long time to get our drinks. They were pretty well made but were also extremely expensive (all of the cocktails were around $17 to $19). Other than the delay, the bartender was nice and did a pretty good job throughout our time there. The venue also served food but we didn't partake this time. Overall, not a terrible experience or anything, but the high prices and slow service make me a little hesitant to return.

Offering a refined escape from the college bar scene that dominates Franklin Street, The Crunkleton blends a superb selection of top-shelf liquors with expert mixologists, friendly service and a dapper decor you won't want to leave. Wait times at the bar can be long at peak hours, and there's a sizeable crowd almost every night of the week. But find a spot at the bar or in one of the comfortable leather booths along the wall, order a classic Old Fashioned or Bourbon Bramble, and settle in to enjoy one of the best cocktails around. A Chapel Hill institution, the Crunkleton is worth a drive from anywhere in the Triangle, and a must for anyone visiting this fantastic college town.
