Sparking curiosity is new Hillsborough Street bar The Rabbit Hole.
The White Rabbit from Alice in Wonderland called—and he wants you to venture down The Rabbit Hole for a drink—literally. Less a mysterious fantasy world and more cozy escape—but with all the character of a friendly tea time—the new bar by co-owners Jonny Ennis and Voltaire Council will open late summer in the former Green Monkey space on Hillsborough Street.
“For us, it’s more than a place to go drinking—we want to be kind of like a home away from home [for patrons].”
Voltaire Council
Lounge seating and a fresh coat’ll give the space a vibey refresh, while dartboards and TVs promise to foster an all-around friendly neighborhood bar that intentionally leans into camaraderie. “There’s some bars where there’s a very clear disconnect between the customers and bartenders,” says Council. “Then you have ones where the owner comes in and drinks; the customers are best friends with the bartenders; and everybody’s like a family”—which is precisely what you’ll find down The Rabbit Hole.
That approachable MO will be mirrored in the drinks—think beer and a small, simplified cocktail menu.
Wonderland, indeed. @therabbitholeraleigh
