It's my first time here... Thursday night, Jazz night! This place is fabulous! It's very warm and welcoming. This is what you call a No judgement, hang out at home kind of vibe. The people were all very down to earth. It's Pet-friendly here so you never know who you're going to meet. We were fortunate to meet Bud! He loves the ladies. They have a bucket of dog treats at the bar for the fur babies. The entertainment was great. We enjoyed 2 different females on the mic with beautiful voices. Drinks: you name it! Note -- there is no drink menu. They have a very large selection of wine, beer, and liquor... take your pick. There isn't any food served here either. But the owner lets you bring your own meals and snacks with you. And let's Shout out to the tapster-- Liisa! She had me try pickled okra for the first time. She is the best!!

They have some new Barman there who does not know much about wine.. I ordered a bottle of Can Blau blend. When he opened the bottle the cork disintegrated and 40% of the wine was missing. He then tried to BS that this was normal (he said it's called "wine seepage" and happens all the time), when poured the color was milky and taste was corked. He then claimed it was fine and would not open another bottle or refund! Bizzare, the owner was there but must have been very drunk or some other issue as he could not communicate normally. So...We left...many other places now on the HS strip to choose from, thank goodness!

Nice spot to lounge and have a few glasses of wine. Fully stocked bar. It's not just wine. They also serve cocktails. Anthony explains the wine selection options. This helped me make a decision on the Pinot Noir. It does not get rowdy or too crowded in here. It's just a little off my normal beating path and a cool spot for a chill night. I look forward to coming back.

An unparalleled selection of wine complemented by a full bar serves as a backdrop for the unique and welcoming ambiance of this far too well kept Carolina secret.Just 30 minutes from Downtown Raleigh there is always something going on here and everybody is a friend when they walk through the door. Whether you are a wine aficionado or a complete beginner interested in learning from the patient and knowledgable staff, this is a place you will want to check out. I couldn't recommend it any more !

We love stopping by here on our occasional date nights and really enjoy the large selection of wines, the live music, and eclectic decor. This is coming from a native Californian who goes to Napa and Sonoma often (back when we lived in the Bay Area) and have traveled to most of the well-known (and not-so-well-known) wine regions in the world. Anthony can come off as gruff at first, but he's is knowledgeable about wines and just doesn't put up with bullshit. Since we usually prefer to sit inside, we've witnessed him having to deal with a lot of drunk and/or unreasonable folks who either don't want to follow NC state liquor laws or acted like they probably should've been cut off hours earlier. We recently brought my best friend from out of town there and he loved the experience and wants to go back the next time he visits. He said he's never been to any place like it, and that's the most accurate statement about Niche that I can think of. Cheers!

Steve is the best bartender around. He makes great recommendations based off exactly what you like. Fun atmosphere for a casual night out. Will absolutely be back!

Had a very bizarre experience here, new bar tender is terrible. Have always had a reasonable experience at Niche, and found some decent wine. This new guy does not know anything about wine and gets impatient if asked about recommendations which is the only way to get a glass of wine at Niche. Dealing with him for about 30 seconds was all it took to realize it was a waste of my time and money, so we left . Went on to an amazing evening elsewhere in Holly Springs, with great service! Thank goodness we have lots of choices now. Niche might be under new ownership? Won't waste my time here again....ever!!.

Never been to a dive bar disguised as a wine bar before. Music was incredibly loud. Tight and cramped. Did not make for a good first date experience. Went around the corner to My Way so we could talk. They have wine there too
