"The Crunkleton opened in 2008 on West Franklin Street in Chapel Hill and become a pioneer in Pre-Prohibition era cocktails. We have been featured in The New York Times and The Bitter Southerner and named one of the “Best Bourbon Bars in the South” by Garden & Gun magazine. Our cocktail menu features timeless favorites like the Manhattan and Sazerac made the proper way and our own unique recipes prepared with choice spirits, fresh juices and house-made infusions. We are also known for our massive library-style “liquor wall”, knowledgeable bartenders and high level of service, ice that is hand carved on-site, and a reserve cabinet with rare liquors you won’t find in any other bar in the South."

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. The decor and ambience is also very unique, some cross between a club and a tavern... Highly recommended!

What a wonderful before or after-dinner drink spot to round out your night! Perfect cocktails designed for you specific taste by the best bartenders in Chapel Hill. This is a club, so you need to be a member to enjoy - an barrier you should pass with a smile.

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.

An experience my wife and I wanted/needed. Drinks were exceptional. I enjoy having a cocktail where the liquor is complimented not hidden with mixers!! Bartender was A1. This will be our future spot in Chapel Hill! shoutout to Erik for the conversation and allowing me to taste the 11yr Fitzgerald

Been coming to Crunkleton for years, even been to the one in Charlotte which was a very necessary addition with excellent food. Spent countless dollars here willingly. No doubt the service and atmosphere are impeccable here. Cocktails are great and their barrel aged program is a true strength. Cocktails are well-executed, fairly priced, and rotate frequently. The vibe is fantastic. What KILLS me is the seemingly unchecked escalation of bourbon prices. For example there is no bourbon list with prices as the selection is rotating understandable, but as a frame of reference I asked for prices on EH Taylor BP and Weller 12 which were quoted at $98 and $112, respectively. Granted these are rare and limited bottles, but a quick Google search reveals that’s more than 2x secondary price and 12-14x retail. Now if they had to pay secondary price I would totally get it but they get first allocation from the ABC board as they are a bar/business. It feels a bit predatory honestly. If they priced these at the 4-5x retail mark they could still make a killing and make this more attainable for those who are enthusiasts and curious about seldom available products. Obviously for vintage or discontinued products this rationale does not apply.

A far fancier bar than I expected to find in Chapel Hill! Great drinks, reasonable volume so you can hear your conversation, and a beautiful bar.

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

Great ambiance. Drinks are superb .   Nice mature environment. Music is just the right volume too. Service was well educated on the spirits available.

What a pleasant surprise. Friendly and comfortable atmosphere. The drinks were well crafted and unique. Terrific customer service, they actually acted like they appreciated your business, hard to find these days.  Would highly recommend.
