The Blind Barbour

Really great and broad selections of bourbon. Knowledgeable bartenders. And amazing cocktails.

What a cool and eclectic cocktail bar parked away in an non disclosed neighborhood shopping center. When we went by, I thought it was closed because it was so dark. The bar is really cool and they have an extensive menu of Bourbons and Whiskies. They do have specialty cocktails as well as wine and beer on tap. If I remember right the bartender said they have "at cost" bourbon bottle openings on the first Monday of the month, which is pretty neat (no pun intended). It's a nice spot to hangout and grab an after dinner drink. Definitely check them out on Instagram!

Smalls is the only reason I came tonight. Never get rid of him. Wonderful experience as always

Bartenders are amazing, Inventive cocktails and classics done to perfection. Bar has the speakeasy feel that just makes you want to enjoy a cocktail. One of the best cocktail bars in Raleigh but off the beaten path so you don't have to deal with finding parking.

Stopped in later on a Monday for a post dinner cocktail. This place is located in a mostly abandoned shopping center in what felt like a neighborhood, so that threw me off a bit. Walking in, it's like being transported to classy speakeasy in a big city. It wasn't crowded at all, so we were greeted by the bartender and he was really attentive. We looked over the extensive menu and selected cocktails. I had You're Killing Me Smalls, and it was really good. There's a little sweetness but not overwhelming. I wish I lived closer! Would love to work my way through the extensive bourbon menu.

Blind Barbour is a delightful and serene bar, perfect for those seeking a peaceful atmosphere. Located in a quiet corner, this bar offers a tranquil setting to unwind and enjoy your favorite drink.

My boyfriend and I had a great time here on Saturday night. We popped in after dinner and sat outside at one of the fire pit tables. The bartender was very friendly and knowledgeable and he helped my boyfriend choose (2) outstanding bourbons that weren't super pricy. My first cocktail was the BOB - bourbon over bourbon. It was an elevated Manhattan and I loved it. My second drink was a whiskey sour, and that drink was also incredible. Water was provided to cleanse our palates and we appreciated that. It was so nice and relaxing to just chill by the fire and sip our amazing drinks! We are looking forward to our next visit.

Stopped by while visiting family in NC. This place was surprisingly awesome! The proprietor was behind the bar and made us two rounds of tasty whiskey based cocktails and engaged in fun conversation. Great vibe, selection, music. I hope to come back the next time in town! Delicious speakeasy cocktails in an unpretentious, welcoming setting.

This place is a stellar little bar hidden in an old strip mall. I came here this week for birthday drinks with a friend and was pleasantly surprised to find a bar so close to our home that I had never heard of.When you walk in you are instantly greeted. It's more spacious than it inside. I really enjoyed how creative each cocktail was, but my personal favorite was the tom yum which had a fun spice to it.If you haven't been here yet, I would strongly suggest you do soon! There is an extensive drink menu here as well as great music and even better hospitality .

We love the BB! Within walking distance in the neighborhood, a true local watering hole. Excellent cocktails and bourbon selection,we are big fans of Smalls! Kind of a no frills atmosphere on the inside but super nice people - patrons and staff!
