    Front of the Aloft with teh X XYZ bar.
    Bruce K.

    The WXYZ is a fixture at the Aloft chain of hotels. It's a separate business but it's attached to and inside the hotel. And you can still charge your bill to your room. Sometimes with live entertainment and sometimes with just background music, you'll find beer, other drinks, snacks and meals. There's a pool table and comfy seating. At the end of a long day, the very cold beer that I enjoyed here before turning in for the night was very welcome. Great friendly service.

    This bar is located in the lobby of the aloft hotel. The atmosphere is cute, cool and unique. There's lots of seating, TVs and a pool table. While I loved staying at Aloft the bar left much to be desired. The bartender was much more interested in talking to her friend than doing anything else. They didn't have a lot of things so they couldn't make a Singapore sling or a amaretto sour. But what left a bad taste in my mouth, literally, was the sex on the beach. It was the worse drink I've ever tasted in my life. The drink hit my tongue and it immediately made me want to throw up. I think I took two sips and she saw the look of disgust on my face so she very kindly poured the atrocity down the drain. Apparently she makes a strong whiskey and coke if you're into that but definitely stay far away from the sex on the beach

    By far, 5+ stars...the bar was amazing. Not only was the food good & ambience perfect BUT my guy, the bartender, Larry, was top notch. His drinks..omgsh, absolutely delicious...art. Amazing service, he definitely cares for his customers & his food/drinks/service/reputation. DEFINITELY recommend. If you're ever in the area, definitely stay at this hotel &/or visit this bar. 15/10. Also, I had the burger & fries & had just gotten in from the airport...delicious.

    This is the ad

    Not sure if breakfast is done by WXYZ or Aloft. The images and descriptions of the breakfast bowls are pretty good. What you get is just barely fit.

    Very cool hip decor'

    The only reason this doesn't give five stars is because the coffee service from Morning ritual for…read morethe goat is a little slow. Other than that, I highly recommend. Wanted to check out what Durham had to offer during my stay in Raleigh, so hopped over Line and came to this cute cafe! The residents living in the apartments that were built next to this place are pretty lucky! Our server told us that The Goat holds a lot of activities for them and the pool area is a nice place for residents and restaurant customers can hang out and play games. We got the biscuit flight. Perfectly buttery, fluffy on the inside, with ample crispy edges! The honey and berry dips were god, but the pimento cheese dip was out of this world! I like pimento but I'm not the biggest fan because everyone makes it differently. My pet peeve is a Mayo forward pimento. The Goat Pimento cheese seems to be made with cream cheese and I didn't taste any Mayo, so THIS is how I prefer my pimento cheese! I couldn't get enough of its savory goodness, then going for a honey or berry dips for that sweet salty sensation. The coffee service was annoying. Our server brought out the biscuits before the coffee, so I asked about it. About 3 minutes later a girl came with my husband's cappuccino and my coffee was in a glass filled to the brim with ice. I immediately said, wait I didn't order iced anything, I drink my coffee hot and she immediately snatched it and walked away without saying a word! That was a strange way to treat a customer who has not only been waiting for late coffee but when the coffee came it was all wrong! We were almost done with the biscuit flight by the time my Lavender Honey Mocha with Oat Milk HOT came out. I will say that it was a delicious cup, however! Worth the wait??? Well I ended up asking my server for a to go cup for the coffee. The last nail in the coffin of The Goat not getting that 5th star is getting a plastic to go cup for a cold drink. By this time I realize they were never gonna get it right. So I just pulled my warm coffee into that plastic cup, prayed the microplastics and toxins from the plastic cup would spare me this one time and kept it moving.

I didn't realize it was happy hour until I saw the signage on the table. I ordered several appetizers. The wings: good but I've definitely had better. The sauce ones were too soft for my linking. The taco board: everything tasted good but I just assumed it would be tacos assembled not deconstructed. Brussels & sweet potatoes: they were good but I could do without the white aioli drizzle. The sliders: trio of different types of burgers in miniature size. I got to the last burger and discovered a .... STRING OF HAIR!

    Looking for authentic Irish pub vibes in North Carolina? Trali Irish Pub absolutely delivers!…read more I had to order the Shepherd's Pie, and it did not disappoint. Rich, slow-cooked beef stew topped with a beautifully swirled layer of creamy mashed potatoes--it was the ultimate comfort food. To pair with it, I enjoyed "The First Squeeze," a refreshing wheat beer from a local North Carolina brewery that complemented the meal perfectly. I planned to skip dessert...but then I spotted the Baileys Cheesecake on the menu. Resistance was futile, and I'm so glad I gave in! It was the perfect sweet ending to a fantastic meal. With its warm, authentic Irish atmosphere, friendly staff, and delicious food, Trali Irish Pub is definitely worth a visit. Sláinte!

    I needed a nosh before a meeting and who doesn't love an Irish Pub?…read more This was my first time visiting Trali and won't be my last. It was about 6pm and the dining room was about half full, but everyone seemed in good spirits and many were watching the World Cup. The hostess sat me at a table near the entrance and facing the bar, I had a book with me to catch up on and planned to read a bit. Within a few minutes, the server came around, showed me the beer list and asked if I wanted anything else. When she returned, she saw that I had a book and very attentively asked if I would like to be moved to a quieter table... yes please! She mentioned that a 16 top was due any minute and they'd be taking up the large bar top in the center of the room, and it'd probably get pretty loud. She then talked with the hostess, and they moved me into, the library, of all rooms... how apropos... It's literally adjacent to the open bar area, but walled off and with a definite library vibe. I was sat in a corner table and with perfect ambiance. Looking over the menu, I couldn't really decide on a dish, but I wanted something more traditional Irish. I finally chose the Boxty potatoes topped with corned beef and it was a perfect portion. Everything came out to the table quickly, perfectly hot, and portioned well. I loved the mix of flavors and textured from the baked mashed potato to the shredded corned beef, and finished every single bite. I finished two chapters of my book and was pleased to see another patron in that room also reading. All in all, a night well spent and will definitely return when I'm in the area.

    Celebrated an anniversary with my girlfriend with dinner here! The staff was super accommodating,…read morehelpful, and friendly despite us being underdressed after a day of exploring Raleigh (oops). Pretty cool incorporating high end Chinese food, and the atmosphere was fancy but cozy. Don't forget to look around, they have lots of cool decorations! As for food, I was a bit underwhelmed. We started with the salt and pepper calamari which had a great balance of mala spice. It was delicious and set high expectations for the rest of the meal. We mainly came for the Peking duck which was honestly just ok, especially considering the price. I thought it'd come with more meat, most of the duck was skin which also seemed to be sweeter? than usual. We also got the century egg Napa cabbage which seemed very overpriced and under flavored. Our waitress mentioned it was a new item, so it may be refined in the future. Giving 4 stars for the experience. Missed our waitress' name, but she was great and made the experience even better. I think this place is worth trying again, but probably for another special occasion to justify the price range!

    Chinese and luxury restaurant don't often go together in US historically. I was pleasantly…read moresurprised and delighted at the experience. The menu seemed pricey but the ambiance and food quality more than deserves. It is nice tranquil environment. The service is quick and respectful and they are not shy in guiding. I had eggplant dish, which I have had at multiple chinese restaurants before, but haven't seen this style of creation. It looked and tasted awesome. I wish they had more vegeterian items on the menu especially for the dinner and that has held us back from visiting. They had nice chinese jazz music playing. I enjoyed the experience and will definitely visit again. I asked the server for vegeterian options during dinner, he said they are willing to accomodate e.g. fish with tofu. So we will be here again another time with family.
