A really cute bar. I definitely want to visit before sundown as Im sure their outdoor area and the skylights indoors are a total vibe. The only bartender there did a great job keeping up with all the guests there wasn’t a wait for drinks at all.

What a great addition to downtown Cary! My husband Andy and I stopped in to check it out, and were blown away by the cocktails! The menu is simple and currated to ensure every drink is top notch, and that there is something for everyone's taste! I wish my phone did them more justice! The atmosphere is open yet cozy, with lots of great nooks to cozy up in with friends and a beverage. I highly recommend walking up for a drink or two! Cheers!

A Rustic spot without the rust!! Clean furniture set in flexible conversation arrangements with an easy “walk up” counter for ordering your favorite drink! Love the thoughtful touch of plants, too!

Great drinks, strong. Nice bartenders, quiet atmosphere. Snacks need be presented better. Providing items wrapped in store bought packages does not match the vibe of the bar

Cute little hidden gem with craft cocktails, awesome bartenders and a nice patio that will be great for summer. Inside feels clean and contemporary with good music playing, but quiet enough to have an actual conversation.

LOVE The Walkup!!! Jason and all of the staff are amazing. If you want great drinks, chill atmosphere, and a great 21+ place to relax, highly recommended

The drinks and food were stellar. We ordered couple rounds of drinks and they all were very unique and bold. The duck wings, although not very heavy on meat, were full of flavor and so were the duck fat fries. The cheese bites starter was our favorite.

This is a really nice space to hang with some friends. Very comfortable with options inside and out. Four beers on tap plus wine and canned beer selections. But the real attraction is the mixed drinks. Traditional selections and some house specials. Highly recommended trying it out.

After a nice dinner in downtown, we wanted to get a little night cap. So we stumbled upon this little gem. It was a cool speak easy vibe but with some light and bustling ambiance. They had plenty of comfortable seating and great decor with plants all over. The drink selection was top notch and bartenders were friendly and could make custom drinks and mocktails if that’s your thing. Very cool new spot, highly recommend.

I found The Walk Up an easy go-to spot with only an 8-minute commute from my place. The website described that they are a Cocktail Club. Walk Up is not your typical bar. The Walk Up parking was effortless. I found a park on the street right in front of the building easily. The drinks are good tasting and top-tier, offering specialty cocktails that seem like they may change from time to time. I ordered the mill and the French 75, both with Hendricks. The mill from the cocktail list was amazing. The sage syrup was a perfect minty, musky taste, making the drink smell so refreshing. The sage syrup is a unique addition to my flavor palate. I love that they have a variety of seating options. I saw a few accent Swivel Chairs that I know are comfortable. The bar chairs have backs that are essential for customers' comfort, and it sends a welcome vibe that also determines how long I will stay and what I will spend. The seating is a winner in my book. The outside area is very nice! The staff here are nice and quick with acknowledging customers. The Walk Up space is very clean and has plenty of plants, which is very nice. It gave me that zen vibe. We all know the calming effects of plants. Love this! Music played lightly in the background, mostly instrumental to something I didn't know but nice enough. I could easily have conversations without yelling. The Walk Up is a yes for me. I look forward to seeing how it evolves, as this is only three months of establishment, according to the bartender I asked.
