Merle's,

106 E Main St, Wilkesboro, NC 28697, United States

"An oasis in historic downtown Wilkesboro. This old house has been transformed into a haven that is a dandy of a watering hole. Excellent selection of beverage options, extremely knowledgeable and cordial staff. Good crowd of people. Highly recommend swinging by whenever you are in town and need refreshment."

"By far the best bar in not just wilkes county but arguable the best bar in the whole state of North Carolina. If you were to order a drink half as quality in Charlotte you’d be spending over $50 per drink. Merle’s is a place that brings a feeling of friendship with staff and patrons not found anywhere else. We don’t go out for drinks anywhere else besides Merle’s. And the private events feel magical. I love Merle’s."

"Hands down one of the best cocktail bars I’ve been to in NC. Very creative cocktails and a mouthful of flavor in each drink. I can tell how much thought goes into each creation. Will be back !"
