Classy Place, Friendly Staff!

by wordprincess

After visiting Amra's on several occasions over the last couple of months, I now consider it a regular stop for my weekend shenanigans :)! This place never ceases to impress--with a martini menu to die for and a staff that consistently makes us feel welcome. I love that this is not a "college" bar, and I love even more that the owners/manager take pains to ensure it remains this way. My girlfriends and I always have a blast coming here to dance, as they also have the best live music in town on the weekends. Ladies, if you are searching for a place to wear heels and a dress without feeling out of place, here it is!

• Pros: Amazing Mojito martini, great music, nice staff

It's about time!!

by Haylee

It's about time Raleigh had a swanky jazz cigar bar that caters to a community other than college students. It's the perfect place to unwind after a long day of work. They have awesome music...some of the best bands in Raleigh! I especially love the outdoor seating and intimate atmosphere. I am always blown away when the owner HIMSELF greets the patrons and sees to it that their needs are met by an amazing staff. They literally go out of their way to make sure you have a great experience. I can't remember the last time I got top quality service like that...not even at local high priced full service restaurants.

• Pros: Ambience
• Cons: None

Worst Bar in Raleigh

by athyme2fly

If you like ordering drinks, never getting them, but still being charged for them, then this is the place for you. Oh, you should also have an appreciation for EXTREMELY rude staff and management and feel generous enough to pay for drinks that aren't yours 'cause odds are, they'll end up on your tab. With their "customer is always wrong" mentality, I'm really not sure how this place still has any customers left. The band was great, but we won't ever go back to see them at Amra's. Good thing they play different bars.
