Junction West

What to do when your train is 2 hrs delayed? We'll find a bar in the nearby area, obviously. Thankfully this one was an easy 2 min walk away. It was absolutely beautiful inside. Very cool compared to the hot outdoors and very clean and well decorated. The vibes were excellent. The bartender was super nice and we had great convos. He gave good recommendations too. I enjoyed two different ciders: A rose cider and then another dry cider. A great lil spot to wait for the train.

Junction West is a perfect little bar located in a busy part of raleigh. Inside it is very vibrant, the vibe is really cool. The outdoor seating is great for small parties, we had a group of 10 and we were able to rearrange furniture to fit everyone. Street parking is free on the weekends if you're lucky enough to snag a spot. Otherwise there's a parking lot right next to Junction for around $8 for 2 hrs. If you're looking for a place to grab food, there are multiple restaurants in the area to try out. Overall it's a great little spot to grab cocktails or beers.

Lovely bar, beautiful interior with range of seating options. Service is excellent, pleasant to chat with, attentive and they know how to make a very good cocktail. Excellent range of custom and classic cocktails, nice liquor list and great beer selection. I really loved the elderflower spritz, currently being made with dragonfruit. They have wines but I didn't pay attention to the offerings so cannot review that selection.

Junction West is a giant white room with no discerning features, in the middle of an industrial neighborhood in transition. Seems very out of place. Bartenders seemed to have that sort of intentional IDGAF attitude that comes along with a sense of pretentiousness that I assume some people aspire to. Not my cup of tea.Drink selection itself was fine also, nothing special, and no reason to go here specifically. If you're going to Junction West, you're going for the vibe, and it's not a vibe I enjoy.

This is such a cute place to hang out with friends and meet new people. Everyone who was there were laid back and social. You can bring your dog and sit out on the turf. I had a couple of glasses of wine and my dog was able to play with her new friends. The hostess did tell us to put our dogs on a leash which I can understand why if they were running around the whole area but our tables were near each other, kinda in the corner and the dogs were behaving very well. So that rubbed me the wrong way a little. Also when we ordered our drinks at the bar my friend removed his mask to take a sip of his drink and the hostess came back to quickly tell him to put his mask back on even though he was drinking. It was a weird vibe from the hostess but the bartender was great and the atmosphere was really chill. I would give it one more shot.

Super airy and open. Great bar space and location in DT Raleigh. Nice menu with lots of fruity, summery cocktails!

A pretty spot to take friends and enjoy the city view from a new perspective. They now require a membership, I believe it's $1 (could be $2) and unfortunately they have lost their cushions for their outdoor furniture durning COVID so prepare to sit on the hard wood. However, it's got a lovely outside space, complete with hanging lights to set the mood. A plethora of cocktails, wine, beer and liquor, all priced for Raleigh downtown atmosphere. Definitely has a preppy feel, but you won't be able to do anything but love the view and feel when dusk hits. Great place to bring friends visiting town for classy post-dinner drink.

This place is beautiful, I can see this bar being very popular on nice days. The bartenders were not very welcoming or friendly when we stopped in. We ordered a beer, a Trophy IPA, and cocktail, the Surprise Valley. The cocktail was just okay, it was a little on the sweeter side. We chose to only do one round here so we will have to check out a few of the other cocktails next time.

"Oh wow! Another bar! And in a warehouse! How original!!" Does this place have unlimited breadsticks? No. Does this place have unlimited soup and salad? No. People please, just skip and head to Olive Garden.

Really cool bar in the warehouse district of downtown Raleigh! The area is gentrified from what it used to look like many years ago! Nice area to be in downtown now. It's literally right next to the new train station and the Dillion. There is street parking and garage parking close by. The beers they serve here are from all the local breweries in downtown Raleigh and some from Durham. There wasn't a lot of patio chairs, the owner informed us that there were more outside chairs coming something happened in their shipping process. There's one beer on tap from clouds brewing that's a fall beer it has an odd taste but it's good. They also serve half pours of their beer, majority of it is average price for a beer. They do not serve food.
