RBF, Your Authentic Champagne Bar

BLUF: I want to come back again and again and again!!

RBF exudes such a relaxed environment. We ordered their hummus plate and one glass of sparkling each and felt a perfect ease to nurse our items for a couple of hours. They also have great taste for music videos, these range from Huey Lewis to Missy Elliot to Michael Jackson.

On a beautiful sunny day, they have a dog friendly patio to lounge on.

With their extensive list of sparkling wines/champagnes and foods no one can get bored or not find something they'd like. I can't wait to go back!

The best spot for a chill ladies night or even date night. They have live music and a variety of alcoholic/non-alcoholic bevs. Service was also really quick. I appreciated they also served some snacks which helped get more booze in than I would usually haha.

Overall highly recommend this place! Can't wait to go again.

Update: brought my wife this trip to NC (she's working on a MW after finishing WSET Diploma) and she thoroughly appreciated all the detail that went into the choices made for vibe and atmosphere here, and the gal playing guitar outside didn't hurt the ambiance of the place. Female-owned, female-driven, living wages, phenomenal curated wine list, nice small bites...geeze! Again...tops for probably the state of NC, let alone Cary. Her favorite glass was the Phillipe Fontaine Champagne--don't miss it! The Chibatta w truffle butter cost almost nothing and broke up everything perfectly-- honestly, if I lived here, I'd make weekly trips here just to take the butter home. I think we dropped a couple hundred exploring the dark side of Champagne, but without my wife's presence the first visit to NC I can say I loved my less expensive Lambrusco and even the Elio Altare Barbera...I'm just a sucker for Italian reds...so if bubbles aren't your thing, you're covered. Bottom line, wifey gives the stamp of approval and she's got the creds...so happy my ground work ended up being worthwhile. The owner must live here and even remembered my visit 4 months ago--again confirming the customer orientation. This place is just too right.

Wow! Finally! I was visiting my sis who moved to Cary from Seattle a couple years ago (I'm in Austin myself), and this entire wine scene in the RTP area is a collection of stores that serve wine rather than wine bars that cater to Somms (cool wines not found in a store and small bites to pair w the wine). Look no further--after visiting around a dozen places in Chapel Hill, Durham, Raleigh, Cary & RTP, I can safely say this place rises to the top for wine enthusiasts. I encountered a couple of honorable mentions for having a well-curated wine list, but no one nailed the trifecta to go with it with food, service, and vibe. I didn't even realize I was speaking with the owner until 15 min. after--that alone shows the interest in the customer experience. The knowledgeable staff steered me to a Lambrusco that was my fave, but I found a bubbly rose from Italy that was a mix of sangiovese and shiraz I loved too. The manchego chips were really good--I need to return hungrier to try more. Did I mention the outdoor patio, free parking, and nice price points? How about the living wage paid? 5 stars with no reservations in my mind at all!

I love the atmosphere of RBF. It's welcoming and beautiful. I love how the selection of wines are not the average brands you see at every restaurant.
The staff is friendly and accommodating. This place is great addition to the area amid all of the breweries.

I'm a female that loves champagne and beautiful decor; how could I not love RBF?! Everything about this bar is very well thought out- the menu has so many great options and the snacks all sounded delicious (and written with a great sense of humor). My husband and I both enjoyed a glass of champagne and the ambiance. RBF has a very cozy and inviting vibe, which makes you want to chill at their bar all evening. We hope to visit again soon-I'd love to try the champagne flight next time.

Couldn't wait to visit RBF the new Champagne and wine bar downtown Cary because it's honestly in walking distance and a great addition to all the new establishments opening up downtown. Service was great and quick. The wine section is great..But the Ambiance is really what's amazing.. Think High end with a local feel.. (I did this review a few months after they opened and it's been sitting in my drafts, I hope service is still the same)

My friends and I came to check out RBF for karaoke and were super impressed! The whole vibe was super cute. We already ate so only got the bread to split but it was very good. Our server was super sweet and knowledgeable about the wines and recommended many things. Karaoke was super fun. This was a good intro to RBF and I'll definitely be back!

We came here for a weekend birthday party. Staff was very helpful and accommodating. I enjoyed the outdoor fire pits and comfortable seating with blankets available. Inside live entertainment was great as were the hot appetizers. Great spot for couples or hanging out with a group. Highly recommend!

I have to start by saying I'm not a wine kinda girlie. I still really like this place! Their cute snack selections are really yummy and the venue itself is a whole vibe. Excited to get my friends together and go back. Will try my best to explore the drink menu more this time. I got something sparkly and sweet. The restrooms (unisex whoop whoop), are so cool! I ran back to grab my phone and run back in because I had to take pics of pics. They also have live music and a chill outdoor area! Parking confused me but I called and they didn't answer but then they called me back which was cool. Also the dog walking around waiting to be discovered by Vineyard Vines is 10/10 adorable. Very inclusive hangout!

Overall a very beautiful and thoughtfully decorated space. I love the concept as well and they have a great variety of champagne/wine.

The downsides are, it's hard to find parking. I appreciate the pricing that tip is included, but then when you go to pay the tip option starts at around 20%, I would totally add on an additional 5-10% if that were an option. I also thought it was weird that your server won't bring you water. You have to go over to the water station at the side of the bar, for the prices it just seems like the server could drop off a jug of water.

All that aside, the vibe is fun in there. The service is super friendly and casual. The server will chat you through champagne/wine options if you are unsure of what to go for. The champagne flight is basically whatever bottles they have open that day, random, but a good way to try something new. I love how thoughtful they even were with decorating the bathroom, you can tell they thought of everything. They have a great patio and if it's nice they open up the sliding glass door walls so it's like an indoor outdoor vibe.
