Amazing lounge, throwback music and the signature cocktails are not only good but they are reasonably priced. Top shelf liquors, the furniture and atmosphere are stunning. And a plus was they were not overrun. Plenty of outdoor or lounge seating…
Cute, creative, and balanced cocktails. They have a great social media presence as well. You can tell they try to curate a good experience! The decor for February is also adorable. Only feedback I could give is maybe turn the lights down, and the music up! 🙂 cheers
This place was great! We came on a Sunday night and the bartender was friendly and nice. He was attentive, and made recommendations. As for the location, it’s well kept with plenty of space. The drinks themselves were amazing, with a wide selection to choose from. Fairly priced as well though it can be tricky not to get carried away so be cautious. A nice touch I noticed was that the bathrooms contained mints and mouthwash for one to freshen up. All in all, it was a nice experience and I’ll def be back again.
We love this place and keep coming back with out-of-town friends to show them a good time. The drinks are great and the charcuterie selection is tasteful. The ambience is lovely as well. We're so glad to have a great cocktail lounge to rely on when we're heading out to have a good night. Would recommend!
This place is the real deal! From the moment I walked in, I was struck by the elegant and classy ambiance - this is the perfect spot for a night out with friends or a romantic evening with a special someone. One of the things that really stood out to me about this lounge was the music - it was the perfect blend of classic hits and modern beats, and the volume was just right so that you could still have a conversation without straining to hear each other. The sound system was top-notch and the DJ really knew how to set the mood. But the real star of the show, of course, was the cocktails themselves. Each drink was a work of art, hand-crafted by skilled mixologists who clearly know their craft inside and out. The flavors were complex and layered, with a depth and richness that you just don't find at your average bar. I loved how each drink was presented with its own unique flair. All in all, I would highly recommend this cocktail lounge to anyone looking for a truly special night out. The classy vibe, great music, and exceptional cocktails all come together to create an unforgettable experience that will leave you wanting more. Five stars all around!
This place was such a good vibe. The owner is super cool and more than accommodating. The decor is well put together, and the cocktails are absolutely amazing; The best I’ve had in Raleigh thus far.
Came for an Offline event. Decor is spectacular - you can see the effort that was put into it. Bartender was efficient and kind. Drink was delicious (yippee ki yay). Thanks for a great first experience at Killjoy!
