Cuya Club

📍 Gay bars in Raleigh

3.6

Cuya Club offers a cozy yet lively atmosphere in Raleigh, blending Latin-inspired cuisine with a relaxed vibe. Known for its authentic flavors, the menu highlights standout dishes like plantain lasagna, ceviche, and shrimp al ajillo, paired with expertly crafted cocktails and margaritas. The space balances warmth and energy, though music levels can occasionally overshadow conversation—adjustments may enhance the experience.

The service varies, with attentive staff often noted for their hospitality, though occasional inconsistencies in friendliness or access policies have been reported. While the first floor excels in food quality and presentation, the upper-level club may present logistical challenges late at night. A limited but flavorful menu and dim, intimate lighting contribute to its unique charm, making it a solid choice for those seeking Latin fusion with a modern twist.

Went here for the first time and had a great time experience. It’s a nice and cozy atmosphere with great music playing in the background. We enjoyed our food. My wife and I shared the steak and the lasagna and the bread pudding. They have a good selection of drinks. Maria was very attentive and had a great personality. We will definitely be back and I would recommend you give this restaurant a try.

We came here for a quick late night bite and we’re so happy we stumbled upon it. It’s on the strip, but offers privacy and a pleasant ambience. We had the croquetas de yuca and empanadas cubanas which were delicious and authentic. For dessert we had the flan de cafe which was the perfect touch to end our night. The music choice was reggae & super catchy. Thank you to Andres for the amazing service & the staff for such a great experience!

Cuya is a vibrant gem that celebrates Latin fusion cuisine with flair and heart. From the moment we walked in, the atmosphere was warm and inviting, elevated by lively music that perfectly matched the energy of the space (though a slightly lower volume would make table conversations easier). The food was absolutely phenomenal. The plantain lasagna was a standout--rich, savory, and layered with flavor! The ceviche was equally impressive: fresh, bright, and beautifully balanced. Cuya also serves some of the best margaritas and sangria we've ever had. It was refreshing, bold, and expertly crafted. A special shoutout to Chef Kevin’s bread pudding. My husband, who rarely touches dessert, declared it his new favorite. That alone speaks volumes. Cuya is more than a meal, it’s an experience! We’ll definitely be back!

Cuya was amazing! We had the Camarones al Ajillo/shrimp, the Oysters de Chorizo y Queso, the charred cabbage, and the Baja fish tacos…everything was delicious. The drinks were also great and the atmosphere was fun and upbeat. My only complaint is that the music was extremely loud when we first arrived, but they turned it down, and everything after that was perfect!

The first floor was good, the food was great, the menu wasn't that big, but it was great quality and presentation, second floor is the club, I went there a couple of times, I didn't have any issues until last Saturday. I went with a group of friends, we were 6, 4 of us we were hungry so we went for some food, when we came back at 1:43 am (closed at 2 am), the guy on white shirt told us, we can't go back inside. We told them we just wanna tell our other friends that we need to leave. He said no and told the other guys not to allow us the entrance. However, in the meantime, we were waiting for my friends. He left another 3 people who waved him and probably knew each other to go inside. I'm really disappointed about this place.

Host/waitress was not very personable. Limited menu and not very flavorful. Drinks lacked balance. Place looked cool though.

New cocktail bar that is located on Glenwood right above Cortez! I visited on a Thursday evening and their cocktails are amazing! You'll have to walk up stairs right above the Cortez and walk in to a vibey aesthetic cocktail bar. The lighting is dim and they played some chill music that fit the mood of the place. I like how low-key the vibe is and the drinks are very unique. They also have some classic cocktails as well and a list of beer and wine. I really enjoyed the Jalisco Boi cocktail that had a little bit of spice. The Cruz Control was also delicious with a smokey taste and subtle raspberry flavor from the raspberry violet syrup. I really enjoyed these drinks and will definitely be visiting again!
