Other drinks we ordered included the Painkiller and classic beer and goldschlager shototer. Great ambience, good for networking, date night, just hanging out. Our waitress was friendly and attentive as well. Street parking was available but we were there on a Tuesday night, could see it being tougher over the weekend. But definitely worth checking this spot out! @azfitfoodfun

Tucked above downtown Cary, this cocktail club delivers specialty drinks that are both creative and dangerously easy to keep ordering. The vibe is relaxed without trying too hard, making it equally perfect for catching up with friends. The real standout for me though? The massive outdoor patio. Spacious, laid-back, and ideal for lingering over cocktails way longer than originally planned. Cary keeps getting cooler, and this place is a big reason why.

Also, age discrimination, I showed them my ID I'm 24 years old. You can search my name up online…read moreyou can go through court records you can verify that I'm 24. But they would not allow me in there. They said it's 21+ which really they meant it was Old people only. They refused to serve me and said it was the law because I "wasn't 21. " I will be following a civil case I am 24 years old. I showed them a valid government ID and I'm sure that the court will accept my ID and be able to verify my age by other means. Never go here they don't allow young people unless you're a retarded golfer you're a retired golfer. This is your spot. By the way, the drinks are below average and they have fake plants hanging off the walls no food horrible place. In fact, I'm so confident that it's horrible that you can contact me with any questions at 904-679-2513

Did I spend more than I wanted to on a mocktail? Absolutely. But was it worth it? Also yes…read more Equal effort typically used to make cocktails was put into creating a beautiful mocktail. I enjoyed sipping on the refreshing, tropical drink and only wish it didn't have so much ice in it. I opted to sit inside at the bar to escape the heat. They do have outdoor and rooftop seating as well.

I went with your espresso martini which tasted like a chocolate drink--couldn't finish it. Second, not once in the 20 minutes after receiving my drink did 4 bartenders check in with me or my husband. Third, the stupid door to the kitchen was squeaky as hell. We could hear it from the street! All of these issues combined tell me that management is poor. Needless to say, we closed out before finishing our drinks and went elsewhere. My husband's review: it's an elevated Applebees based on cost-value.

For starters, our waiter(if I'm not mistaken was also the bartender) was very attentive and gave excellent recommendations since it was our first visit. I ordered the rose water lemonade and my son ordered the strawberry lychee. Both were delicious so much so I asked could the two be combined without the carbonation that the lychee drink had. It was a hit!!!! For appetizers we ordered the Duck Egg rolls and asked the waiter to surprise us with the second appetizer. He chose the Pork Bao. The egg rolls were our favorite out of the two but both were great. For our entrees, my son ordered the General Tso Chicken. I couldn't decide between two dishes so I asked the waiter once again to surprise me. I ended up the whole fish(black bass) entree which was a phenomenal choice. The flavors were like a party in your mouth. It was seasoned to perfection and the sauce: OMG!!!!! Both entrees came with a bowl of fluffy rice. For dessert we got the mooncakes. They were ok. The ambience was nice and welcoming. I don't drink but was informed that it was a place people go to take part in their amazing drink selections. That it is also a great place to read a book which they have plenty to choose from if you forgot your own and a good meet up or date spot. If you are looking for new place to try this place will be a great choice!!!! Let me know what you think!!!

The staff are wonderful people, friendly and welcoming, they have a menu that speaks to anyone who loves Chinese and an array of libations.

Stopped by RBF recently for an afternoon drink and really enjoyed my experience!…read more First, we ended up finding street parking right next to RBF, but I think there may also be a dedicated parking lot outside the back patio? Not entirely sure since we still have no idea how to access it, but maybe look for that lot if street parking is challenging :) Anyway, RBF is located in the basement of a building, so we had to take an elevator down from the entrance we took. Inside, it's got chill vibes - it definitely feels like a wine bar :) We ended up sitting inside on a high top, but there were various couches and a good amount of outdoor seating available as well. It took a while for our server to come check in with us, but she was super friendly and helpful with the wine selections once she came over. I got a random glass of red wine (they do not serve beer, in case you were wondering!) while my wife tried out a couple of tasters and then picked out a white wine for herself. The wine was pretty tasty and it was definitely a generous portion. After sitting there for a while, we also decided to grab some bread with pesto on the side. It took a sec for it to come out, but it wasn't bad! Nothing extraordinary but I wasn't expecting anything super gourmet, so it was totally fine. Overall, we had a great experience here and I would definitely stop by again on a date night.
