There's something ridiculously satisfying about finding a spot that feels hidden in plain sight,…read moreand The Walk Up absolutely nails that energy. 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.

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

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.

This is definitely a spot for weekend turn-up.

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.

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.

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.
