Under the Oak Catering

★★★★★ 5 (18)

"You will NOT find better tasting food from any caterer around here. I am so impressed with the amazing quality of the food. I have had great caterers before, but UTO goes above and beyond to serve a 5 star meal. I worked with Lara for over a month for a meal for around 50 people. She helped me make the perfect decision. We went with the filet, chicken piccata, roasted vegetable's, garlic mashed potatoes and 3 passed appetizers of chicken and waffles, crab cakes and shrimp ceviche. The southern salad was one of the most delicious salads I ever had. The shrimp ceviche was my fav thing of all. But every single item was perfect. I have never heard so many people say how good the food was. The servers and bartenders were great, too. I would definitely use them again! Loved it!"

Triangle Wine Company - Holly Springs

★★★★☆ 4.1 (8)

"Triangle Wine Company is finally open in Holly Springs! The store is smaller but it still packs a great selection of beer and wine. The staff members are helpful too. I like the locations in Cary and Morrisville so I am happy to have new, closer location to visit. Check out their website to see what is currently on tap, cheers!"

42 Craft Beverage

★★★★★ 4.5 (17) • $$

"Decided to give 42 Craft Beverage another chance after reading that it was under new ownership before heading to dinner and left impressed. Brad is definitely passionate about seeing this place do well! After knocking back a pint, I picked up a bomber to go. If I am back around the area I will definitely return."

Triangle Wine Company

★★★★☆ 4.2 (28) • $$

"Look no further than to Triangle Wine Company for all of your wine and beer needs! Think of it and they have it and if not they can recommend something close. This locally owned and welcoming shop has a great selection of wine and beers. I love that it is not super overwhelming and it is so easy to shop and get what you need and maybe a little bit of what I do not need. While I was shopping I was warmly greeted not once, but twice by the owner Chris. He took the time to show me a few Riesling and Chenin Blanc options. There was no pressure to buy, he just genuinely wanted to have a conversation with me. He also asked if I wanted a sample of seltzer and of course I did! I ended up trying it and getting an eight ounce pour and was able to walk around while I shopped--winning! Every store should have this option!!Chris greeted me once again and mentioned the amazing events they will have in 2022, so I will be back for them and of course more drinks.Ended up cleaning up buying a bottle of wine and tons of seltzers and beers as a few were on sale. My total was just $30, so such a great deal! Skip the store next door and come to Triangle Wine!! I will be back!"

Roshambo Beverage Company

"First time coming here today Jane is absolutely adorable as a bartender. She was very knowledgeable and the menu and was awesome at giving us ideas on what to drink. We absolutely love the vibe and can't wait to return."

Five Points Wine Shop

★★★★★ 5 (2)

"This is one of the best wine experiences you can have in Raleigh. Brad is unbelievably knowledgeable about all the different wine varietals and makes talking wine fun!This is the place to come for a friendly high end feel, with price points for anyone."

Creedmoor Market & Wine Shop

★★★★★ 4.9 (7)

"I live just a few miles away, and cannot begin to describe what a lifesaver this little shop has become. They have a wonderful selection of wine and craft beers (goes way beyond your average bud light and such)! You will pay a few dollars more compared to grocery store prices, but it's a small price to pay considering the nearing grocery is 20 minutes away. The owner and staff are very nice and friendly, and the inside has recently been renovated to include a bar area with several beers on tap and refrigerated bottle/can options (as well as wine). Per the owner, they are in the process of building an outdoor deck slated for completion in the spring/summer where clientele can enjoy a drink outside on a warm summer day (will be dog friendly too). They also stock basic convenience store items, as well as fresh made sandwiches which I've been meaning to try. I'm so happy this small business opened up shop just down the road from my house!"

Beer Study

★★★★☆ 4.3 (87) • $$

"I had some frustration a few years back with these guys and how they provided service, but something changed - not sure if it was them or me.Everyone has a "good beer selection" nowadays but these guys definitely stand out. It's not just the same 6 NC breweries - not that they're bad! But everyone has Foothils and Fullsteam and Wicked Weed. These guys do a better job of *also* having national brands, plus really great imports - I'm not sure what they have besides Belgian, because every time I'm here I go with whatever amazing Belgian beer they have *on draft* - not Stella or Leffe but the really top-notch ones, like Sasion DuPont, one of the top of the style; or Westmalle, an actual trappist brewery who make a great Tripel."

Crafty Beer, Wine & Spirits

★★★★☆ 4.3 (55) • $$

"Wendy and Glen are the owners and absolutely delightful. We were invited to a retirement party held in the back room, specially reserved for us. The bartenders took great care of us. Lots of beers on tap, great wine selection (looking forward to coming in for their wine dinner), full bar, and craft beers to go. This neighborhood bar has a friendly crowd of locals that welcomed us at the door. We will be back. There are numerous events to draw a person in--poker night in March, daily specials and the wine dinner."

Pelagic Beer & Wine

★★★★★ 4.7 (29)

"Pelagic: of or pertaining to the open seaThis bottle shop is super cute! Plus, I loved the decor. Mom and I met for a beer before heading to dinner so I went with a Prairie Funky Gold Sour Ale on draft and Mom went with an Aviator Mad Beach from the cooler. Before I left I picked up a Ballast Point Pineapple Sculpin and a bottle of wine. I will definitely be back, they had a small but great bottle selection!"

Wine Authorities

★★★★★ 4.5 (36) • $$

"This wine store has a fantastic selection! It is reasonably priced and is sectioned off by region. The staff members were both knowledgeable and helpful with making wine recommendations and helped us to decide on a few bottles. We also had a few pours of wine from the self pour wall. I am looking forward to returning soon."

Moonlight Liquor Lounge

★★★★★ 4.5 (13)

"Downtown Varina has a cocktail bar now. My husband and I stopped in to try a few drinks and we tried the below:Round 1 - Gin & Jam and About ThymeRound 2 - Banana Bread Old Fashioned and Cherry Amaretto SourRound 3 - a glass of rose for meMy favorite was the Banana Bread Old Fashioned, the Gin & Jam was too strong with the navy strength gin. If you do not want a cocktail they have other options available. I can't wait to try more cocktails as their menu changes over time."

Aviator Pizzeria & BeerShop

★★★★☆ 4.1 (31) • $$

"We went here for the first time this weekend to see one of my son's teachers band. We've always driven by and thought this place and the little Main Street were so cool and right up our alley being from MPLS. It was busy but thankfully we got a large table for our expected large party. It was beautiful outside. They even have an 2 story patio. We got the aviator pizza ( a few substitutes tho) Mac and cheese pizza and nachos. Everything was amazing. The nachos were my favorite. We had the best sour beer we've had since moving here. I also had the rum punch drink and it was fabulous and strong. Loved it!"

Carpenter Wine Cellar

★★★★☆ 3.9 (13)

"Carpenter Wine Cellar is located in the space previously occupied by Triangle Wine Company Morrisville. I liked that there was more seating available both inside and out. They also had a nice selection of wine and beer to take home. We stopped in to grab two rounds of beer before heading to dinner and had an okay time. The service wasn't the friendliest and it was more of a spot to grab a beer at with the occasional wine tasting. If you plan to purchase beer or wine to take home you have to do it at the front of the store. In the end, we did enjoy our time here."

The Wine Feed

★★★★★ 4.7 (99) • $$

"I'm not usually a wine drinker but I was meeting a colleague after work and I wanted something classy. This is classy.The Wine Feed does have a few folks who come in for post-work wine and they have an excellent selection with a printed menu as well as a bunch of snacks that go well with wine. I chose the not-too-expensive Portuguese red which was from the same winery that I did a tasting of when I was in Porto last year. That was nice to see.Lots of options in by-the-glass or bottles here, not just for enjoying here but also to take for enjoyment later. There are some seats along the windows to watch the Glenwood traffic go by. Street parking.[Review 11679 overall, 1461 of 2019.]"

LouElla Wine, Beer & Beverage

★★★★★ 4.8 (25)

"This wine bar was fun. We stopped in to grab a drink, it was a moscato for me and a pinot grigio for my husband. The seating available inside is slim so we stood around since it was too hot to sit outside in the front of the store. If you want to do a wine tasting, there is a small bar area in the back. Now that you've enjoyed your experience it's time to browse the selection to take home. They have a great selection of wine along with a small selection of beer. LouElla is worth checking out if you are in downtown Durham."

The Raleigh Wine Shop

★★★★★ 4.7 (76) • $$

"This is a cute wine shop. My friend and I stopped in to enjoy a few glasses of wine and had a fun time. We browsed the selection of wine to take home and thought that it was good. If you are in DTR check out The Raleigh Wine Shop."

New Hope Market

★★★★★ 4.5 (89)

"Num num! They have a great breakfast and lunch menu, various salads by the pound, desserts, and fantastic customer service. What else could you want?!Well, you could browse the store as you wait for your food order to come up, incl the cold coolers that have milk, eggs, & meat. Also produce that's in season and various gifts. Or you can sit outside weather permitting or a table inside. Great people watching too!I made a special trip over from south Durham when I saw one of the specials listed today on their FB page was strawberry rhubarb pie. I can't remember the last time I had that!I got the pie to go, a slice of spice cake for my sweetie, and a loaf of Bread Shop sunflower bread. I decided to stay and have lunch and was lucky to get the last avail table inside at around 12:15. Yes, it's a busy lunch spot, esp on a beautiful day!I had a cup of the butternut squash soup topped with homemade croutons, which was delicious! It came in the bowl, but just halfway cos it I ordered the cup portion. Now that I know how good it is and how big the bowl portion would have been I'm getting that next time. The soup was also one of the daily specials. I wanted to add the bacon quiche, but it was already sold out so got a grilled cheese which is good too.I so wish this was closer to where I live cos I'd definitely visit more often!"

Bottles & Cans

★★★★★ 4.8 (46) • $$

"Professional and welcoming staff. The staff here are extremely engaging and helpful in allowing me to taste things on tap before I made a final decision. There are a variety of options on tab and I even found one of my favs here "Ginger Revenge."No complaints. There are a few events going on here and food trucks that visit, so I hope to make an appearance here again as this is convenient to my side of town and the commute is effortless."

The Village Diner

★★★★☆ 4.2 (126) • $$

"This place never disappoints....I've dined here weekdays, weekends, breakfast, lunch, dinner, solo, with my family, or even with a group of 10 like we did today. Every dish, every meal, every experience is fabulous. They never disappoint."

Peace Street Market

★★★★★ 4.5 (60)

"Lots of beer. I'm surprised it was open past midnight on a Sunday night."

The Beerded Lady Bottle Shop

★★★★★ 4.7 (25) • $

"First off, Welcome to Garner and I love the name! It is so nice to finally have a place in Garner to be able to purchase a variety of craft beers from. Mom and I decided to stop by after dinner to check this place out, turns out it has only been open about 2 weeks now. This was a nice sized bottle shop with seating available both inside and outside. Of course, the drafts are a rotating selection, this time I tried the Double Barley Gourd Rocker Imperial Pumpkin Porter (one of my favorites), Deep River Backcountry Black IPA and Great Lakes Nosferatu. These are available in 5oz, 10oz or 16oz pours! Good, decently priced selection of beers to build my mixer pack before I left. I will definitely be returning the next time I visit Garner! Turns out there is a pizza place a few doors down where you can get food to eat while you enjoy your beer."

D's Bottle Shop

★★★★★ 4.8 (20) • $$

"D's Bottle Shop is great! They have a really good selection of beer on draft plus a large cooler section. We grabbed a few beers and ordered takeout from one of the nearby restaurants. The service was very friendly and helpful too. Before you leave, browse the selection of beer to take home. Cheers!"

The Wine Merchant

★★★★★ 4.8 (22)

"This wine store is small but cute. We were a little confused on how we could grab a drink when we entered so we had to ask one of the employees. There is wine and beer on tap or you can split a bottle. The amount of seating available both inside and out is limited. We ended up grabbing a glass of wine and a bottle to take home. I think that the service could have been a little bit more welcoming initially but overall we had an okay experience."

Tasty Beverage Company

★★★★★ 4.6 (117) • $$

"Sometimes you don't know exactly what you want, but you know what you don't want. These are some steep judgement calls for someone else to make for you, but I gave the staff at Tasty Beverage Company some perimeters and six of their selections later I walked out with some tasty local beers. The selection is amazing and the staff obviously understands what you're looking for with even the most basic beer describing vocabulary. Okay I know my way around a bottle shop, but I had like 5 minutes and they read me pretty well. Next time in Raleigh this might be my first stop."

HighCraft Beer Market

★★★★☆ 4.4 (24) • $$

"How did I not know about this place when I lived in the Apex area?! I would have been a regular here! I recently found this bottle shop on my yelp app while Boyfriend and I were out and about in the area. There was a great selection of beers on tap! I got a D9 Whiskers on Kittens and Boyfriend got a Boulevard Lemon-Ginger Radler. Both beers were tasty. While sip sipping on my beer, I built my mixer 6 pack. The prices on the beers were competitive. The staff was also friendly and knowledgeable. If you are around the area stop in for a beer or to pick up a few bottles! I almost forgot to mention that HighCraft is dog friendly!!"

The Wine Cellar at Sutton Station

★★★★★ 4.6 (14)

"Wonderful local wine cellar. The owner was incredibly sweet and helpful, and made sure I found what I was looking for. He offered a sample of a sweet Italian moscato that was absolutely amazing, so I purchased a bottle of it in additional to another moscato and a white wine. They offered unique brands that I had never seen before (at extremely reasonable prices), and they have 300 different wines every day. There are only 2-3 bottles of each for most of them, but you can order more in advance. Love that I live so close. Will be a regular for sure!"

Saratoga Grill

★★★★☆ 3.9 (114)

"Saratoga Grill is located in Downtown Hillsborough and open for both lunch and dinner. The restaurant is open on Mondays for lunch!!!The restaurant is on the second floor so climbing the stairs is necessary to get to the restaurant. The decor is nice and the atmosphere is relaxing. Some tables are near the windows. The menu has a variety of items to select from. I went with a cheddar burger with bacon. It was cooked the way I asked and very good. I went with a side of fries but could have gotten a salad. I also had a slice of apple pie that was yummy too.The staff is very friendly and attentive. My waitress was great and the owner kept checking with the tables to make sure they were happy and had everything needed. If you are in Downtown Hillsborough this is a great place to eat."

Cellar 55

★★★★☆ 3.5 (17) • $$

"Such a chill spot. You can choose between 16 wines and 8 beers to pour yourself. If you are not feeling the beer on tap, you can choose something from the fridge [the corkage fee is only 75 cents]. Cellar 55 has a great selection of beer and wines to enjoy at home too. Check out their Facebook page to see what events are happening each week."

Great Grapes

★★★★☆ 4.4 (29) • $$

"Such a cute wine store!! Boyfriend and I were in the area visiting The Butcher's Market and decided to stop in since we needed a wine to pair with dinner. We picked up 3 bottles of wine since you get an extra discount for purchasing 3. They also have a small craft beer selection. Staff is both friendly and extremely knowledgable!Plus, they have a parakeet in the store.My personal recommendation if you enjoy a nice red wine, try the 2013 Petite Petit!"

WELD Wine & Beer

★★★★★ 4.5 (2)

"W.E.L.D. Wine & Beer is a newer spot in the Cary area that serves craft beer and wine. My husband and I stopped in to grab a few drinks before heading to dinner and had a fun time. The space was nice, they have TVs so we were able to catch a soccer game and a few of the big windows overlook Lochmere Golf Club. If you want beer to take home they have a small selection that is available to purchase. Cheers!"

Bottle Theory

★★★★★ 4.7 (22)

"Bottle Theory is a new craft beer and wine shop that has opened in Apex. The draft beer selection was a great mix, I got one of the IPAs. If you don't see anything on draft, they have bottles and cans. Wine is also available. It was a fun time and I can't wait to return."
