This place is no longer operating.

Five Star is a decidedly urban oasis hidden in the heart of Raleigh’s warehouse district. Guests enter through an almost- unmarked door, reminiscent of a speak-easy, into a converted tobacco warehouse and are greeted with a serious dose of minimalist Asian chic.

You'll like FLEX if you're into bears and bearded types. There is a urinal on the main room wall filled with peanuts. Go figure.

Good stiff cocktails. Must have.... The "Charlie and Simone" hushpuppies!

Raleigh's only boutique and bar in one! At Dapper Style House, they follow a seize the play!" philosophy. Hip casual men's and women's clothing by trendy designers, plus aa an in-store cocktail bar. A large bar spans the back of the store; serving up local microbrews, specialty martinis and a wide variety of quality spirits. Directly adjacent to the popular gay-owned and friendly Borough Pub.
