Customer Reviews

this hidden gem of Salisbury is absolutely amazing! The staff is prompt and personal, and fun to engage with. The 1920s speakeasy was enjoyable, especially when paired with music from Postmodern Jukebox. everything we ate was just fabulous. This is my first time having escargot and bone marrow, and they are now some of my favorite dishes! My wife and I have already determined that this is our new favorite special place to eat out at.

If you're looking for a fantastic cocktail lounge experience in Salisbury, NC, this place is a must-visit. The ambiance is warm and inviting, setting the perfect mood for a night out. Not only do they serve expertly crafted cocktails, but the food is also top-notch. Each dish is thoughtfully prepared with fresh ingredients, and the flavors truly shine. The highlight, however, was the service. Our server, Rebecca, was exceptional?attentive, friendly, and knowledgeable about both the drink and food menu. She

I went after dinner, so just had a cocktail. This place is outstanding in many ways: a fabulous, beautifully crafted 1920?s atmosphere; creative and interesting cocktails; a remarkable selection of liquors; a knowledgeable, sophisticated and friendly crew. It's the kind of place that draws you in, and where you just want to linger. The menu has a great range of small and larger plates, with something for everyone. Several nice veg options, and plenty for carnivores, including even bone marrow. If you live i

Amazing vibes, food, and service! This was the first place we visited since moving to town and we were not disappointed! The food was absolutely amazing- I definitely recommend the escargot! Staff was very friendly and gave us recommendations for the town. We will definitely make this spot a place we frequent

I love the idea! I love a good woman owned, LGTBQ+ friendly place. The popcorn was lovel and unique. The crab dip was 99% cream cheese and I didn't enjoy it. The cocktails were okay but for how intricate they are, they taste very alcohol heavy. I'm not sure if it's just a heavy pour or just a very bitter spirit, but I was a bit disappointed. I also wish the art was purchased from a local or small artist and not AI generated trash. That alone ensured we won't be back, unfortunately. The idea is wonderful, th

We are visiting Salisbury from out of state and my husband discovered this gem while searching for neat local places to eat/hang out. We went just for cocktails because we had already eaten not long before going but couldn't say no to trying out some of the food. The buttered chicken was better than what I've gotten in some Indian restaurants and the crab dip was so creamy and super yum. We also cleared off a massive salad that our stomachs shouldn't have had room for but taste buds definitely paved the way

We came to Salisbury for the Witches event and someone recommended we try this place. Our first impression was it was magical, the attention to detail in the decor was amazing. We got a ew appetizers and drinks. Everyone was so friendly. We would love to come back and try more items and hang out.

My husband and I came here for a date night and was pleasantly surprised by how good the drinks were. Carrot cake was amazing and we took one to go. Bone marrow was superb. Server was awesome and helpful. The vibe of the place is relaxing and chill. Will definitely come back and everyone should also be checking this place out if you haven't already!

My 1st visit and LOVED the flapper dresses! They had cocktail specials and dinner specials AS WELL AS several bourbons that weren't on the menu! The whiskey luge was amazing! Samantha was warm and welcoming. The atmosphere was great! We weren't rushed and didn't feel pressured. The Rabbit has a warm and friendly feel. Reservations aren't required, but ARE encouraged, I will be going back!

We had the best time! The food was great, we had the samosas and the bone marrow (add bourbon) and it was delicious. The drinks were wonderful and the bartender and owner listened to what we liked and made great suggestions. Atmosphere was low key and chill but very welcoming and approachable. Will definitely return to this hidden gem!

Had my 40th ? #BlackandGoldparty birthday celebration at the White Rabbit. The drinks, food, service, & atmosphere was amazing! We had so much fun! Perfect for just chilling, date nights, celebrations, & more!

The first visit did not disappoint! Parked in the lot behind the building, there are no huge signs pointing to the entrance, which adds to the speakeasy vibe! A friend and I were on a girl's night out,we were greeted at the door and seated right away. We chose the day membership, or " one time" visit,which is $5.00 pp. Cocktail ,wine,and spirits menu is extensive. You are given ample time to look through the menu while enjoying the complementary popcorn and ice water they bring to you when seated. My frien

Stylistic vintage cocktail bar with seating for small groups and couples. Great menu with multiple types of mix drinks and bourbon/whiskeys. Has speak-easy decor with a 1920s inspired look. Menu rotates along with drink specials. Owners and staff were amazing. They were informative about drink types and also attentive. Would recommend for a date night out or drinks with friends! Will definitely return and recommend for locals and anyone visiting the area!

This place is such a gem! Stumbled in here unexpectedly and was pleasantly surprised! Got a vodka and water and they have one of those cubed ice cubes with some really tasty filtered water, then proceeded to get a whiskey because Whiskey Wednesday and it was smoky but tasty. Got the miso salmon which completed my night. This place is an experience!

Googled and came on a whim?. Food and Service were sensational!!! Drinks were so very tasty and the atmosphere is just wonderful! A true Speakeasy! Will definitely be back again and again!

I thoroughly enjoyed the White Rabbit! Everything about it was terrific? The food, the drinks, the wait staff, the atmosphere, & the music. The owners, Samantha & Rob, are absolutely lovely! All forms of payment are accepted & there is no membership fee. It was a great evening in a unique atmosphere. I will be going back for a second, third, fourth and probably even a 40th time.

Me and my wifey had our wedding celebration here, it was the most beautiful atmosphere, everyone is so welcoming and kind! We felt so comfortable to be ourselves here, the food was incredible! I would recommend this amazing establishment for every occasion. The owner Samantha was the most loving and kind person we've ever met, she went above and beyond for our day to make it feel so special!

Amazing food, service and atmosphere.Highly recommended from someone who travels frequently in many states and has high expectations from fine dining establishments . This is definitely one of my favorites

Had bone marrow! It was really good. The bacon onion jam with it added an awesome flavor. It was so good. Great Customer Service!! The young lady who served us answered all of our questions and added suggestions.

This place is a gem. Cool atmosphere, great food and drinks, excellent service. Already looking forward to the next visit.

Samantha and Rob the owners and staff were Awesome. Unique drinks, wonderful speakeasy atmosphere and the food was bangn!!! We had a Great time!! Sarah and Doug

Great place to take your time and enjoy the 20s themed music and atmosphere the food and the cocktails are great! If you like steampunk and/or 20s theme it's great.

Rebecca?s drinks were phenomenal and the food and service were on point. We can't wait to come back and try more drinks and food specials. Love this place!

Love this place! One of my favorite places to hangout after work. My favorite part are the creative hand crafted cocktails. Each side of the venue has a different vibe and I love them both! Owners are friendly and the staff is super accommodating! This is one of Salisbury?s gems for sure.

Had our wedding dinner here and Samantha and her staff did an amazing job taking care of us and making it so special, the table was beautiful and everyone LOVED their food. We can't recommend it enough! We will be back!

My girlfriend and I decided to pick a spot in Salisbury we've never been tothe service amazing, the atmosphere very relaxing and mature. I ordered the grilled pork chop best pork chop I've ever had in my life! We laughed and said we found our secret little date spot :) Will definitely recommend and be back soon

White Rabbit is such a fun and unique place to eat! The atmosphere is unique and very inviting! The beverages are delicious and food is even better! Get the sourdough and butters and butter chicken, it will not disappoint!

Absolutely incredible experience. FANTASTIC atmosphere. Incredible drinks and food. Do yourself a favor and get the bone marrow. Feel like you stepped into a New York bar. Incredible.

This place is a hidden gem! We held my daughter?s wedding reception here and the staff was phenomenal. The atmosphere is so fun and welcoming, and the food is superb! I will definitely be coming back again many times in the future!

Great funky place. Drinks are delicious, staff are friendly and helpful! Our event was a wedding after party and they had their hands full.

The White Rabbit is currently a hidden gem (but not for long), a place where the shadows are deep and the drinks are strong. The joint has that perfect feel. But it's not just the ambiance that makes this place special. The bartenders here are true artists, conjuring up cocktails that are both complex and delicious. They're passionate about their craft, and it shows in every drink they pour. If you're a whiskey lover, this is your new church. As for the food... It's the kind of place where you can lose yo

Ok, Salisbury I've heard so many people lamenting that we don't have a solid Indian restaurant? guys, go to the White Rabbit they have one of the best butter chickens that I've ever had on this or the other side of the pond. Also a mean paneer dish too and rocking samosas. Go there! You will look ip my profile and GIVE ME 6 stars out of 5, just like them.

We celebrated our daughter?s wedding here tonight! The food and service was amazing! The environment itself was like stepping back into time!!!!! We can't wait to come back and do it again!

If you're looking for 10/10 food and service, look no further. This place is amazing and ran by dedicated people who enjoy what they do. Everything was AMAZING. No cap!

The absolute cutest place with amazing food, cocktails, and atmosphere!! 10/10 will be back!!!

Absolutely amazing experience! We absolutely enjoyed our time here. Wonderful establishment with welcoming owners. The food was wonderful! Thank you for a wonderful evening!

My wife and I recently join and absolutely love it. Atmosphere and drinks are amazing, Highly recommend anyone to visit at least once. You will not be disappointed.

Visited for the first time last night, and liked it so much we became members and will return. Rebecca the bartender was awesome, and the cocktails were great. It's a small, beautifully decorated little speakeasy, just off the beaten track. The menu looks great but did not order food this time. We heard that the butter chicken is amazing, so will definitely try this next time.

Go here for the experience, excellent cocktails and food. Very friendly place.

What a gem ?? of a place! Bone marrow what? Hamachi crudo? The decor transports you to another place and time. We enjoyed our getaway. Thank you.

Hidden Gem. This place is such a vibe. Owner is amazing. Music was perfect. Great food and drinks

I'd like to keep this fabulous spot a secret, but the drinks are too top notch as well as the service and atmosphere! Enjoy perfectly mixed cocktails and the extensive bourbon library!

One of my favorite places in North Carolina! The people are amazing and the food is uniquely delicious. Their cocktail specials are inspired and the presentation is amazing. The artwork is lovely and the atmosphere is enhanced by some of the most fun music I've heard in a while. One tiny warning: during hot weather, the A/C is either not up to the task or not being turned on early enough for patrons to get the benefit. I.e. it's warm. But then again so are the people who own the White Rabbit as well as thos

Strong, tasty drinks that get the job done, with fabulous food and the most sparkly, fun atmosphere to imbibe with friends - such a great space ??

What a fabulous experience!! Amazing atmosphere, awesome service! The bone marrow is simply the best you're going to get anywhere! Charleston, Charlotte, NYC? this joint nailed the dish? The chef served a sesame tuna that was out of this world. CHEERS.

This is an absolutely fabulous place for food fun and drinks. If you don't come here you don't know how to have a good time! See Rebecca's perfect

1920s themed speak easy. Food changes every week and it is delicious. Buttered chicken was amazing. Let him cook. ????? Paired with a nice drink from the expanding list of spirits they have to offer. They also have a barcade next door for some fun and games mainly pinball machines but still a cool place for a drink.

Fantastic place!! Great cocktails of every kind. We had Indian entrees for dinner which were excellent. Love the atmosphere!

A fun speakeasy vibe in Salisbury. Excellent cocktails and shareable small plates. Reasonable annual membership that allows one to bring guests or daily option for those passing through.

Such a great find! I live in Austin and was in town visiting my parents? the service was so lovely, the food was great and the bar was fantastic. Highly recommended if you're looking for a fun spot with quality food in Salisbury!

Fantastic little spot. Atmosphere and drinks were great. Highly suggest this spot for a date night or out with friends. I'll be trying the food next visit.

We had several drinks and sampled most of the food - everything was outstanding.

Food was so gross. Tasted like frozen food from Walmart. Got the flat bread pepperoni pizza, spinach and artichoke flatbread, and hot pretzels. These are not homade. Literally frozen food that's cooked. You would think as classy as the environment is they would serve at least good food. We thought the cocktail lounge was very cool inside and glad went to see it but we wouldn't go back because the food isn't worth a trip back. Also why don't you have your employees dress in the 20's era clothing?

Out of this world drinks and food. A true speak easy feel. I can't believe this little gem exists in little ol' Salisbury. Gi

It was my 1st visit and there wasn't anything that wasn't great! The atmosphere and service were superb and the food was amazing!

The food was delicious, the drinks were handcrafted and amazing, and the overall vibes were top notch!

Huzzah! This tavern in Salisbury is a gem amidst our noble cause. The libations are unparalleled, the finest in the land. Alas, where is the pianist to serenade us with his melodies? Perhaps fortune will favor us on our next visit. Danielle, the most skilled barkeep in Salisbury, tended to us with great care. Gratitude for the bone luge; it shall be remembered in the annals of our journey. Prepare yourselves, for you shall be vanquished in the dragon boat race.

The audacity anyone might have to give this fine establishment any less than a full five star review is utterly preposterous.

This is the most amazing place we have ever had the pleasure of experiencing! The staff is amazing and Danielle our waitress was the absolute best! We are now officially members and highly recommend you check it out too! Will not disappoint!!!

Easily our fave place in Salisbury - fun arcade bar on one side, atmospheric cocktail bar on the other. Awesome food, great cocktails, and fun vibes. Our new local spot, would recommend to anyone!

You.should.go!!! Amazing atmosphere, loving owners. They are amazing

Amazing 1920s Art Deco bar/restaurant in beautiful downtown Salisbury! Fabulous atmosphere, food and cocktails!!! Will be back for more!!!

Wow, Salisbury hit the jackpot with this gem! Amazing atmosphere, food and service. Can't go wrong. Our friends offered the entire menu and not one thing disappointed! Favorite was the beat salad miso salmon!

A Very Cool Experience. The Staff were very friendly and the Food and Cocktails were Outstanding. We had the Steak Tartare, and the Weekly Specials: Chinese BBQ Pork Belly Lotus Bun, and Shrimp and Chorizo Flatbread with Manchego and Lemon Thyme Cream! The 1920s Speakeasy Decorum is such a nice change of scenery from anywhere else we've eaten in so long it was simply refreshing. We Loved the Experience so much We did a 1 year Couple's Membership.

This is a speak easy please in Salisbury, NC that is AMAZING ??. I would highly recommend if you can go then go. Other than the amazing food and very creative drinks the atmosphere is something you won't find anywhere else.

The cocktail bar, arcade, and escape room are all in the same building and are connected. Its a small place with a cozy vibe. The entrance is on the left and right of the pic

Absolutely lovely!!! Quaint and cozy atmosphere, spectacular drinks and highly knowledgeable staff. Great for date night! A true gem in the heart of historic Salisbury.

Danielle was incredible as a server/bartender. We truly enjoyed our experience!! I recommend the Manhattan and the Shepherd?s Pie if you get a chance!

Amazing place. I moved to Vegas and come back from time to time, this is a must stop for me! Amazing staff! Amazing food! Amazing drinks!

This has quickly become my favorite hang out spot with an inventive drink menu, fresh and classy food and the best staff around. Everyone is so nice. It's really become a second family!

The food was exquisite. Bone marrow and sesame tuna were the best I've ever had. The service was excellent! Definitely a must!

Great area! Owners are great. Totally recommend visiting! Arcade brings back a lot of memories.

Suburb!! Enjoyed everything. The fun beverages. The ambiance.

Stopped by last night with a few friends and had a fabulous time! Love the selection of games, delicious frozen slushies (they have a full bar but we don't drink alcohol), and the friendly and inviting staff!!! We had fun and look forward to going back soon!!!

Love the staff. A hidden gem in the heart of Salisbury.

After an evening out in downtown area we showed up a this location with a few local friends. My husband ordered a drink with friends, then attempted to get money out of the ATM and it did not work. Another guest said ?try the counter I don't think this ATM works?. So we did? what an experience that was! The lady came back asking if we had a membership and wondered where my husband got a drink. We told her we came in with a group? ordered and wanted to play. Feeling offended because I had no idea what she wa

Our bartender, Danielle, truly went out of her way to ensure we had a great time! She made delicious cocktails and provided incredible service!

I knew this place was going to be good when I first heard about it, but was blown away by the glamourous atmosphere, unique drinks and delicious food. There is nothing like this anywhere in North Carolina or beyond. It is well worth a special trip!

The best bone broth luge in the entire state!!!

Beautiful place! Awesome drinks and food!

Great service and awesome drinks! We also got the crab dip as an appetizer and it was very good

This place is more about the atmosphere than anything else. Small little restaurant but a big menu! Restaurant looks set in an earlier time period. Must dress to dine here.

Wonderful! Very fun place, the food is great and the service is spot on. Can't wait to go back. Perfect for a friends night out or a date night!

I hated the fact that I was misled.i thought that the $5 charge was to get access to free games....but it's just because they are a "club" . The game selection was poor. My husband and I had a Cheerwine slush with vodka each and we pay $28 for that. It was given in a disposable coffee cup. I drove an hour to go to this place. Yuck!

This place is fantastic. A trip back into a more civilized way to have dinner. It is so nice to get dressed up and enjoy dinner.

This space is insanely interesting. The atmosphere is completely unique, the staff and owners are incredibly friendly, and the food was both unique and delicious.

Hubby & I go all the time! We love their food & drinks, the staff are so friendly & welcoming!

Wonderful joint for cocktails and wine, with great plates of food. A really nice place to relax in Salisbury.

Frequently Asked Questions

What’s it like visiting an arcade today?

It’s a mix of nostalgia and high-energy fun! Many arcades blend retro classics like Pac-Man and pinball with modern VR games, racing simulators, and rhythm challenges — often with music, lights, and a social vibe.

Is it better to go alone or with friends?

Both can be great! Solo visits let you focus on your favorite games, while going with friends adds competition, teamwork, and laughs. Many people plan arcade meetups as a casual hangout or even date spot.

What should I bring to an arcade?

Usually just yourself and a way to pay (some arcades still use coins, others use cards or apps). If you're competitive, bring your A-game. If you're social, bring friends or meet new ones over multiplayer games.

What’s the best time to visit an arcade?

Weekdays or early afternoons are usually less crowded — perfect for focused play. Evenings and weekends bring the buzz, especially at barcades or venues with DJs, tournaments, or themed nights.

Can I meet new people at arcades?

Absolutely! Arcades attract a mix of casual players and serious gamers. Whether you're jumping into a four-player co-op or chatting between rounds, it's a fun, low-pressure way to connect over shared interests.

Are arcades still just for kids?

Not at all. While many arcades are family-friendly, there are also adult-oriented ones with full bars, 18+ nights, or vintage nostalgia themes. Arcades today cater to everyone — from first-timers to lifelong gamers.

Are there events or tournaments I can join?

Yes! Many arcades host regular competitions, retro nights, cosplay parties, and more. Whether you're into high scores or just want to watch and vibe, events add an extra layer to the experience.

What if I’m not great at arcade games?

No worries — arcades are about having fun, not being perfect. Try a variety of games, ask others for tips, and remember: the vibe is more “let’s play” than “let’s win.”
