My friend and I stopped by SideBar for a quick drink the night before her birthday and it did not…read moredisappoint. The drinks were great! We tried the sherry colada and the bruleed greyhound. Staff was also friendly and knowledgeable. Inside - the vibe is very moody and dark. It would be a great spot for a first date or a cocktail before dinner. There's no food on the menu FYI.

Awesome little spot in Cary! Came for a couple drinks with clients and enjoyed the golden lotus and…read morea glass of prosecco. 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

So...what's the actual name of this place? Bottles & Cans Beer and Wine Shop or Taps and Social?…read moreJudging by the signage and the receipt, it seems to answer to both. Either way, it delivers exactly what you'd hope for--a great selection of drinks in a relaxed, social setting. After finishing dinner at Shijiri, we had a little over an hour to kill before heading home, so we wandered over here. We decided to grab seats inside rather than on the front patio. The interior is surprisingly spacious, with plenty of seating whether you prefer pulling up to the bar or sinking into one of the comfortable sofas. Our tasting lineup included the refreshing Sangria Slushy, Anderson Valley's Wild Turkey Bourbon Barrel Stout, and Komana's Hefe the Hefeweizen. While enjoying our drinks, we spent some time hanging out with Aria, the Bouvier des Flandres, who was incredibly friendly and happily accepted all the attention. She definitely added to the welcoming atmosphere. Before leaving, we couldn't resist browsing the shelves and ended up taking home a build-your-own six-pack featuring beers from 3 Floyds, Edit, Middle James, Two Tides, Grimm, and Anytime Beer Co. The selection is excellent for anyone who enjoys discovering craft beers beyond the usual grocery store offerings. Whether you're looking to enjoy a drink on-site, build a mixed six-pack to take home, or simply relax with friends (or make a new four-legged one), this place checks all the boxes. We'll definitely be back the next time we're in the area.

Dropped by Bottles & Cans recently and had a good experience…read more Parking was very convenient because Bottles & Cans is part of a strip mall, so no problems there. They had a pretty decent selection of beers available, and I was impressed that you could get pretty much any type of beer as a singleton (versus having to buy a 4 pack or whatever). I did feel like the refrigerated section could have been a bit larger, but they did have a few good choices in there. They had a big selection of beers available on tap, and while I didn't partake this time, I was kind of tempted by the quadrupel :) The bartender was nice and helpful throughout my visit. Overall, if you're in the area, this seems like a nice place to stop and grab a beer. I've seen slightly better selection of beers elsewhere, but I do think you could find something you like here :)

Check in at the desk and receive a swipe card which you use to activate the spouts and pour your beverage. Whether you want a full pint or a few ounce taster, the control is all yours. We had nachos and wings which were good and service was friendly enough without being overly intrusive. They have a number of board games to play and we really enjoyed ourselves. I don't live in the area, but will return when I return. My only complaint was the stools which were rather uncomfortable. There was other seating in the building, but it was in use so uncomfortable stools it was.

I ordered the boneless fritters with a garlic parmesan rub. The fries were fine but the fritters…read moreand the garlic parmesan came out sub par. The garlic parmesan rub left a pool of garlic in the tray that was an oily mess. The boneless fritters themselves had a strong outer fried shell. Took a bit to dig a fork into. But once you got in, the chicken was an oily mess, there was just a pool of oil inside each bite. I would say my stomach on average is pretty strong and can handle a good amount, but these boneless fritters took me out and I had stomach pain the next day. Would stay away from these and just order normal wings or something else on the menu.

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.

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.

Found this place impromptu when I was in the area. After checking the Yelp reviews, we decided to…read moregive this place a try. The location is a bit smaller than I anticipated. Seating includes high top tables and a bar area. The bartender, who was also the waiter, greeted us in a timely fashion and welcomed us to One Nine. Upon looking at the table signage, we realized it was Happy Hour. There is nothing like a good Happy Hour. We order d the half off chicken wings. The wings slapped! Just the right amount of sauce and crispiness. I plan to go back to One Nine just for the wings. You will not be disappointed. We also ordered the One Nine burger with the side winder fries and onion rings. Also, delicious! For a first visit, One Nine was on point!

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!

Ambiance is a little lackluster as it's attached to V pizza. I think turning a few of the high top…read moretables to more relaxed seating would improve the vibe. 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! We always choose this place over the ones in downtown Cary as the drinks never fail.
