Parking is easy - they have their own lot. It's a small space, but never overcrowded (at least when I have been there) and their drinks rotate seasonally. Service is always prompt and they are nice!

Their cocktail list has some unique and whimsical drinks - ALL are delicious. They'll also once in a while have a couple of special cocktails on a board that the bartenders have concocted - also delicious!

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.

We stumbled in on a Friday afternoon when downtown Cary was popping. It's a cute spot, which as the…read morename suggests, requires you to walk up a set of stairs to get to the bar. They do not have a bottle of champagne on the menu that you can order so the bartender just charged us 3 glasses of champagne so roughly $33, which is about what I would expect for a bottle of champagne. The champagne was okay. I think this space focuses more on liquor drinks. The inside of the bar is nice and moody, and we went downstairs to the outdoor seating area, which had a lot of space. Overall, a nice spot to spend a summer evening.

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.

The Chicken & Waffles was my favorite! The chicken was nice and crispy and the waffle was a sweet corn waffle. It came with these little morsels of grilled peaches and I wish there had been more of them because I could've eaten a whole bowl of them. The Peck and Plume Bowl was my least favorite dish but that's only because it was VERY tart and I wasn't expecting that. It has passion fruit, banana, blueberries, yogurt, granola, coconut flakes, and bee pollen. We also got the Eggs Benedict which came with country ham and wilted spinach on top. The ham was a bit salty but the breakfast potatoes on the side were great and the eggs were cooked perfectly jammy.

We ordered the Butrata instead....but it never came so I can't comment on it. They also didn't take it off the bill which I didn't notice until our drive home. The server was engaging and sweet. He was willing to answer questions but seemed a little weeded. Perhaps he's new. Still her was personable and kind. The drinks, a Dirty Martini and Hibiscus Tonic were fantastic. I'm on a quest to find the best Dirty Martini in the area and this is in contention. I ordered the burger and my husband got the shrimp and grits. We'd say they were "fine". Neither the meat nor shrimp were seasoned. That said they were cooked well. The grits were well done and the relish was on target. The fries were also fantastic. Overall, it was a good experience sitting on the beautiful patio with music coming into the space from the park. With a few tweaks this could get a better rating.

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!!!

It's definitely popular, so I recommend making reservations when you can. I've gone once with a girlfriend before a movie and once with my husband when we were looking for an early dinner. We actually didn't have a reservation that second time, but the staff was incredibly kind and worked with us to accommodate the window we had. This place is truly an experience. It's a little on the pricier side, but I have never once felt unwelcome. The staff is warm, knowledgeable, and happy to help guide you through the menu. Every dish I've tried has been delicious, but the duck egg rolls, dumplings, and sesame noodles especially live rent-free in my head. I usually stick with a glass of wine from their extensive list, but I recently tried the green tequila cocktail and it was amazing. My husband always finds a fresh, delicious mocktail option, which we appreciate. Accessibility is something I consider when choosing places to go, and Brewery Bhavana is accessible for wheelchair users, including the restrooms. Being able to enjoy the full dining experience comfortably makes a big difference. I wouldn't necessarily go here expecting traditional Chinese cuisine, but I would absolutely recommend it for a unique, thoughtful, and delicious dining experience. It has become a special treat for us when we're in Fenton, and I'm always excited to go back.

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.

In fact, we had to sit at the bar because a few tables were reserved - I didn't know you could do this but good to know now for the future. I would recommend getting a reservation if you can for a Friday evening. We sat at the bar and had a wonderful time. The space is so gorgeous and leans into women's empowerment. We had a bottle of cava between us as well as the extra kneady board, which had bread plus 3 spreads. For our spreads we got goat cheese, garlic butter, and hummus. Um WOW, the goat cheese was SO GOOD. Like so good. You should visit simply to have warm bread and goat cheese for girl dinner. This is a great space to spend an afternoon or evening. We ended up leaving to explore other places in downtown Cary and wish we had just stayed at the bar. What a wonderful experience!
