Amazing drinks as always, this is my 4th time coming back! The environment is very lively but also pretty cozy, think a little log cabin in the mountains. The drinks can be a little pricey but the service & the quality of the drinks is totally worth it, and definitely what I would expect from this caliber of establishment. Love the house espresso martini, always a must for me! The elderflower sour is great for a refreshing drink, and their paloma is also amazing. They’re also willing to create drinks with similar tastes & notes if they don’t have the exact ingredients to make your usual favorite.

I went to The Crunkleton on a Saturday night while visiting Chapel Hill. I greatly enjoyed the French 75 and several in my party indulged in the espresso martini. The drinks are a bit pricy comparatively to other downtown Chapel Hill bars but they are of a higher quality and in my opinion worth it. This location does not serve food.

This is a must go to bar! The staff are great and know their stuff. Be brave and ask them for something off menu and let them craft you a delicious refreshment to take the edge off the summer heat. Very friendly and knowledgeable as well. Will definitely go back to when next in Chapel Hill

Very interesting concept: this is a cocktail bar, just drinks, no food. Absolutely awesome selection of spirits, all drinks are made with a great attention to details, and the service is quick, efficient and with a twist of southern hospitality.

I love it here! If you’re looking for an elite cocktail in a chilled and sophisticated environment, this is the place to be. The bartender was so helpful and kind too. The system went down when we were paying and they comped one of our drinks rather than making us wait around.

Always a great experience at the Crunkleton. Great staff, atmosphere and the handcrafted cocktails are arguably the best in the Triangle. If you’ve never been you should go and if you have you should go again. Highly recommend
