Since I visited the day after Christmas there was still holiday decor up. The did play a small selection of NY based music which I did appreciate which music from other regions which I also enjoyed. What I didn't enjoy too much was my drink. I was trying to order a drink fro the festive list but one of the ingredients weren't available so I decided to just get a vodka and cranberry which tasted a little watered down. I'll probably try a second visit when come back in town.

The Don Julio tasted extremely watered down, my wife and her friends said the same thing. Has anyone else experienced this? Seems very shady to me, that ruined the experience for me, the money you pay for the bottle is insane and then it's watered down? It just makes me wonder if anyone is tampering with the liquor, & it's very concerning.

The music was very inviting but as my sister and I started to pass by due to the whole club vibes - an employee suggested we come inside and check it out. No admission fee. A nice and clean space. I'm not a fan of dance clubs, so totally out of my usual spaces but for what Alive is, I would highly recommend the space for dancers who would like to go out for a night of dancing. The restrooms smelled very good and were very clean with cute decor. Alive is highly recommended for your place to go dancing. The bar service is quick. We didn't have to fight for a drink!

I went here with my boyfriend and his family as they were visiting town and thought to try it out…read moredue to the reviews and have to say I am slightly disappointed. Small portions for ridiculous pricing, we ordered the charcuterie board which was said to come with cornichons and grilled peaches, both of which were missing (the peaches we had were not grilled) on our board. We mentioned it to our waitress and she said they might have been out and she was going to go check, nope not out just forgotten. She came back with a small bowl of the cornichons and grilled peaches, if you're selling something make sure everything you talk about is going to be served the way it's described. Okay that aside, the smash burger my boyfriend had was great but the salmon... genuinely terrible. I love salmon and all fish honestly but it was just not cooked well, it tasted like it had been boiled or something it was soggy and had such a spoiled smell I was having trouble eating it because of how it smelled. I didn't feel like saying yet another thing about the meal to the waitress so I just left it at that but it was not a pleasant experience to say the least. The kitchen needs to do better!!!!!

I enjoyed the mature crowd who attended and how polite and in high spirits the men and women were. The night club was very well kept, but has a very cheesy ambiance with several laser lights, disco balls, cheap furniture and flat screens. Security was professional and really ran a tight ship. I felt safe in this environment. I felt the $20 admission was a joke for the lack of seating throughout the night club. After all this is located in the international strip mall. This dollar amount needs to be revisited. The bartenders here also need to attend school. The drinks are very weak for what you pay for. Who can't make a sex on the beach ? If the admission were free, I would definitely return to enjoy the DJ who spins for the reggae room.

The space is effortlessly charming, with a retro-cool vibe that feels authentic rather than manufactured. The biggest surprise was the bar program. The bartender was a far better mixologist than you might expect from a hotel lounge, turning out cocktails that would be right at home in many of Raleigh's dedicated cocktail bars. It's easy to see why both hotel guests and locals seem to gravitate here. In an era where so many hotel bars feel like an afterthought, The Lounge feels like a destination in its own right. Between the welcoming atmosphere, quality drinks, and undeniable character, it's hard not to fall for this place. I can't say enough good things about The Lounge or the Longleaf Hotel itself. Both are a breath of fresh air.....preferably enjoyed with a cocktail in one hand and a beer chaser in the other.
