Pharmacy Bottle + Beverage — Restaurant in Cary

Part of me wants to give 1 star for the very loud and very frustrated bartender. If you are reading this and know exactly who I mean, then don’t you think that’s a problem? It occurred to me immediately after I ordered that you wanted me to say the number on the board and not the name of the beer. I’m SORRY. It clearly, visibly, upset you and I am genuinely sorry that I didn’t act accordingly. Not only that but you took my girlfriend’s order walked away and didn’t take mine until you came back. Clearly wanted us to say everything right at the beginning, but I didn’t feel as comfortable yelling across the bar as you are. Then yelled at me to MOVE OVER KEEP IT MOVIN!, While I signed the check. Which I did immediately, but the damage was done. These repetitive interactions clearly make you think people like me are idiots and the worst. However I don’t like feeling like that in what should be a fairly simple exchange. Though it was extremely busy today what with the cheese festival and all. I tipped $10 on three beers despite all that, which I don’t regret at all because I still feel for you. Also, I know it’s a bar so there should be only adults. But when you yell HAPPY F*ING SATURDAY, you should know there were like 4 kids under 5 years old standing right there in earshot on the sidewalk. I know you are frustrated, but emoting that hard can and does affect people around you. Despite that rattling me harder than it should I don’t think it’s fair to give this establishment a low score. They are pouring good beer and it’s a great spot. Good place for dogs and sitting for a beer or...

I absolutely loved my first but not only time at Pharmacy Bottle + Beverage. The bartenders were so kind and provided such wonderful recommendations. I love that you can bring in your own food and just chill. It was such a wonderful and warm atmosphere with people from various ages and backgrounds. I can see bringing my book, having a sip, and sitting here watching the people walk by. It's definitely a great chill spot. This time around, I ordered their sour beer on tap, and it was super refreshing and light!

I can't wait to come back and try some more! This will be on my list going forward! A must...

The Pharmacy is fantastic. Twelve interesting taps all the time, plus a nice selection of bottles to take home or to drink on site. Beautiful seating area and sliding windows to let in the fresh air all year long. No food -- but down the street from a Little Ceasars -- so $5.00 Hot and Ready Pizza is a short walk away.

Another good thing: These guys will fill up growlers from anywhere. So throw that empty growler in your car before coming.

Only complaint: Every beer is $5.50. That's not an absurd price, but there are days when a $3.00 beer would feel good...
