The Dry Cleaners Cocktail bar

Enjoyed our first visit here. What a delightful experience. Felt like an old world speak easy (without the smoke thankfully). The cute secret entrance is a nice touch. Loved the decor and soft lighting. Great options for seating and a very nice bar with comfortable seats. Reese (name?), our mixologist was delightful and helpful. Was fun to request a custom drink based on our preferences in taste. Can’t wait to find that door again!

Quite the little hidden spot, with an entryway just through the private door. A full stocked bar to elevate your tastebuds with specialty blends of bourbons, whiskey, and gins. The red high back chairs gives it a classy vibe. This isn’t your average cocktail bar. An atmosphere that is by far worth the visit!

North Raleigh has need something like this. Great atmosphere and great service. The dealers choice was amazing. Glad we checked it out! We went on a Sunday so there was plenty of seating not sure what a busy night would look like.

First visit was confusing and honestly underwhelming. We’d been meaning to try this place for a while and finally decided to stop by Sunday night after our Valentine’s dinner. It was raining, which already set the mood… but not in a good way. We couldn’t figure out how to get in. Every door we found was locked, and at first we thought maybe we were missing something (speakeasy vibes and all). We checked the website… no instructions on how to enter. Peeking through the windows, we saw the bartenders cleaning up for the night. Not sure if the hours listed online are wrong or if they decided to close early, but either way it was disappointing. Standing outside in the rain trying to solve a mystery entrance that apparently wasn’t open isn’t exactly the experience we were hoping for. It looked cool through the windows, though. Unfortunately we left a little wet and ended up at a bar we know doesn’t close early.

FINALLY the N Raleigh suburbs has a KILLER cocktail bar!Reese, Gage, and the rest of this team are doing excellent work making delicious cocktails (go Dealer's Choice!) in classy yet approachable low-key digs. Enter through the front on the opposite side of the Hibernian entrance, or sneak through the hidden doorway and venture between the dry cleaning for a wonderful night with the perfect vibe.

From the moment we stepped into this bustling speakeasy, we were greeted with a warm smile, and even though there was a short wait for our table, the team kept us consistently updated. Once seated (skip the small circular ottomans and opt for the roomy red chairs), we settled in with excellent cocktails and easy conversation. Fantastic job to the team here—eager to see how this place evolves over its first year in business!

When I walked in I immediately smelled something similar to septic odor. It lasted the entire time. The dark and stormy cocktail is delicious. The service was fine. They do not sell food. You can order at the restaurant next door.
