Stopped by Chapel of Bones today and absolutely loved the atmosphere. The place fully embraces its…read moregothic aesthetic without feeling forced or gimmicky. Everywhere you look there are unique details, dark artwork, and just the right balance of spooky and welcoming. It feels like a place where metalheads, artists, gamers, horror fans, and anyone who appreciates alternative culture can relax and feel at home. The coffee was excellent, the staff were friendly, and the overall vibe was unlike any other coffee shop I've visited in the Raleigh area. It's clear that a lot of thought and passion went into creating the experience. Instead of feeling like a themed café, it feels like a genuine community space built by people who love the culture. If you're looking for something different from the typical coffee chain experience, Chapel of Bones is absolutely worth a visit. I'll definitely be back the next time I'm in the area.

Whether it is dancing, hanging out or just mingling it is such a great time.. I love that they don't just have alcohol, their coffee is so good! They do have a draft NA beer which is very difficult to find so that is awesome! The employees I have interacted with have all been great with making recommendations or letting me know what they have! If you are looking for a fun time check out their website to see what events they have coming up!

I had their basil smash, which was refreshing, and the Manhattan--bold with a warm, spicy profile. Pleasant surprise to see Michter's as the special of the night, and it was excellent with smooth caramel and vanilla notes. Service started off a little hands-off since we ordered at the bar, but picked up toward the end when staff came by to check in. Drinks were high quality without being overpriced, and the vibe is relaxed--not at all pretentious. You can definitely come casual. If we had more time, we would've stayed longer or come back for another round.

They have a board and wine deal on weekday nights that we're looking to try next. Would definitely recommend for a fun night out in the Village District with friends or a date!

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.

I won't spoil it for you, but as you walk up the stairs just ask for Green Light instead of Merchant (which is also a great bar!)

I came here for drinks and dessert with friends, and the star of the show was definitely the beignets. As someone who has visited New Orleans and tried the real deal, I thought I knew what good beignets tasted like. Turns out, I did not have to travel that far after all! The beignets here are like a cross between a classic beignet and a croissant. Light, fluffy, and just the right amount of indulgent. I will definitely be back to check out more of the menu, but no matter what, I am saving room for the... say it with me... beignets!!

I love the old Ireland look of the inside of the place. For a cocktail bar I was extremely disappointed that they only had about 6 or 7 drinks on the menu. They said they could make anything but I absolutely hate that. If you're a specialty cocktail bar you should have cocktails to choose from. I am not a bartender and should not have to dream up my own drink. I was there for the experience and to drink something that they created. Service was incredibly slow. I was ready to order and the man just kept telling me that he would come back to take my order. Just take my order! I was ready to leave but we were there celebrating a birthday and I didn't want to be a problem. I'm so extremely disappointed by this place as it really has the potential to be wonderful. As is, I will not be going back. Two stars for the fact that the place is beautiful.
