Foundation - Raleigh

Such a cool hidden jewel! This bar is built in the basement and gives a dark and atmospheric private setting once you enter. To find it, look for the red neon shield at ground level take the steps down! The exposed brick gives him a very speaking mood and the drinks are not disappointed. They are known for their old fashioned, but they also have a unique selection of craft cocktails! TIP: arrive early at weekends because it will be a line or ready to wait! (But it's worth it)

This is undoubtedly one of the best cocktail bars on my list for 2023. The bartender noticed us right away and promptly cleared the table when others left, creating a feeling of exclusivity in this hidden gem. The atmosphere was small and intimate, perfect for my preferences. The bar is located in a cellar-like space, which is easy to miss. We stopped by for a nightcap, and I ordered The Eastside based on the bartender’s recommendation—it was excellent. The bartenders here are highly skilled and seasoned, contributing to the enjoyable ambiance. I was so immersed in the moment that I forgot to take a photo of the menu. It seemed to feature a variety of specialty craft cocktails that changed regularly. I can’t wait to return soon!

Visiting Raleigh for work, fun little bar that we ran into, though wasn't really that crowded on a weeknight, almost closer to empty actually. good spot, little hidden

I love this place. Wonderful staff, unique and inventive cocktail menu and a well balanced, delicious drink. 10/10

Came here on a Saturday night at about 11pm. Didn't find much something I had a taste for on the menu so I asked for a Cosmopolitan. Lady told me they ran out of cranberry juice so they couldn't make the drink. What cocktail bar runs out of cranberry juice, that's a cocktail essential!!!
