“ This was my first time visiting the Green Light Bar in Raleigh and I am truly impressed!!! The atmosphere is great and Omar sets up the perfect vibe! His cocktails are amazing! Can't wait to come back. ”
“ I can’t rave about this place enough. Came into town with my boyfriend and two girlfriends for a concert that got cancelled as soon as we arrived. Found out about Greenlight & decided to make it our first stop of the night. It was amazing! From the atmosphere, to the bartender Victoria! She was so kind, made amazing drinks based on her own recommendations- and gave us ideas for dinner & breakfast stops! 10/10!!! Truly the highlight of our trip! ”
“ My partner and I came in for our anniversary, this was our first stop of the night. We sat at the bar and Omary was our bartender. He has an amazing attitude, sense of humor, and is a wizard behind the bar (seriously). My partner had a few different drinks, and loved them all. I had an espresso martini (dare I say the best one I’ve ever had) and then Omary recommended I try a butterscotch espresso martini, oh my was it wonderful. We had a blast here and we will definitely be coming back again! ”
“ Great bar. My buddy and I stumbled on this place randomly, but honestly Green Light ended up being one of the better bars I’ve seen in downtown. 10/10 atmosphere, very small and intimate with low lighting. The drinks were excellent, and the bartenders were friendly. Will be back. ”
“ Incredible Speakeasy. Bartender knew his craft like science. Top tier craft mixed drinks/cocktails like you've probably never had before. Ask the bartender to make you something off menu, you won't be disappointed. Great atmosphere. Highly recommend. ”
“ Omary was wonderful! We went by for drinks to celebrate our anniversary. After telling him what we enjoyed he handcrafted the best, flavorful, refreshing cocktails ever. He was so personable and so professional and endearing. He definitely made this night memorable for us! ”
“ Hands down the best cocktails on the East Coast! The craftsmanship and creativity in every drink are unmatched. The service is top-notch, with a friendly and knowledgeable staff that makes the experience even better. If you’re in Raleigh, NC, a visit to The Green Light is a must! ”
“ Truly came up on this gem by accident, but what a great accident to come by. The vibe, atmosphere, the coolness of everyone encountered was superb. Just walking in, super cool! Thank you Omar for being an Amazing & Attentive bartender! Make sure you ask him to make you one of his speciality cocktails. The Sour Diesel! FAV! Had 4 lol! Also, thanks Crystal for being so sweet and kind. Of course, can’t forget Olive Guy! ”
