Amberly Local — Restaurant in Cary

Amberly local is exactly what a local pub should be. Personal, an ever-rotating lineup of outstanding beers, and delicious snacks and sandwiches to make a good long stay of your visit. While not designed for kids, it is kid friendly (as long as parents are watchful).

There's prosecco on tap, house wines, and special wines on tap. The charcuterie boards are delicious, but my favorites are the hot ham and cheese sandwich and the roast beef sandwich that has a delicious horseradish sauce.

The reality is that a place like this could have great food and drinks, but if the atmosphere was stiff, it wouldn't fly. Fortunately, the family and close friends who run it could not be more welcoming. After a few visits they'll likely great you by name, remember your favorite drink or sandwich, and spend time with you asking how you've been. A local neighbor. It can get fairly busy on Friday and and Saturday evenings starting around 5:30 (closed all day on Sunday, at least as of February 2020). I suggest stopping by on a Saturday afternoon for your first visit to get a feel for the vibe. You'll more than likely quickly decide to plan your next visit with...

I would have loved to give Amberly Local a good review, but I would honestly give them zero if I could. It's like Romper Room there! So many obnoxious children running amok and oblivious parents yapping and boozing it up. I was literally hit twice by some little 4 year old boy throwing his toys up in the air, and I wasn't the only one! I saw him hit two other people with his toy! No parents in sight, my husband had to tell him to stop. I didn't have a drink for 30 mins because the wine dispenser was never filled and then when it was filled, only the white wine was filled. Also, if you are a red wine drinker the only reasonably priced option is the Old Vine Zin and that was never refilled the entire night. The other red wines are in the double digits for 5oz! Since when is 3oz and 5oz the standard?? Overpriced, loud with children and very unreasonable wine pours we...

Got really excited to check this place out. The beer and wine selection is great. Pours are not. Very pricey for what you get. The wine pours are ridiculously small. I’m guessing the people who live in these neighborhoods don’t care!! The food is average at best and way over priced. We got excited about the pastrami sandwich, for $16 you’d expect a loaded NY style sandwich, unfortunately not. Edible, but not great!! Not worth $16 bucks, 10 bucks at most. Most of the other food is boring and can easily be made at home in a kitchen!! They have a lot to improve on, I hope they figure it out, it’s a great idea and the area sorely needs it!! Maybe if they spent more energy on the kitchen and food and less on the fancy beer board, there would be more...
