Top 31 Gluten-Free Cocktail Spots to Experience in Raleigh

Linda Sullivan

Have gluten-free food that passes muster even for people with celiac disease. Such restaurants are not easy to find. Maybe we celiac sufferers who enjoy eating out can share our GF restaurant experiences.

Meg Cosgrove

Everything was wonderful. They were able to work with our food allergies without issue. They accommodated gluten free, nut free, and even a garlic free guest! Room is beautiful, staff was on top of everything, would definitely recommend.

So I have autoimmune disease called Celiac Disease and that means gluten and me do not get along at all. This place has great gluten free reviews and was super excited coming here. Well now I am about ready to lose my mind. I asked my usual questions concerning gluten free items and preparations for their food/drinks. I ordered a CIDER and got served a BEER without hesitation. This is actually absurd. When somebody asks you about gluten free items and safety precautions and then immediately within 2 minutes get served a gluten containing item, it’s just actually ridiculous. The server was apologetic and kind but not knowing the difference between beer and cider is disheartening.

Celiac friendly. The staff was knowledgeable about cross contamination and were able to highlight everything on the menu that I could eat. Delicious food and good atmosphere.

Sheri Alkire

Service and food were great! My only disappointment is that HQ is changing their menu and taking several items off including one of my favorite gluten free foods…street noodles.

I love popping in to Centro for lunch. Great, quick service, and reliably awesome food. The flautas and tacos are my favorites - and they even have a gluten free fried chicken taco which is so so good!

This was my first visit to Bad Daddy's. I have Celiac disease, so gluten free options are extremely important to me, and it's a real treat for me to have a proper burger-in-a-bun rather than a lettuce wrap, even if it is a GF bun (they tend to fall apart without gluten to hold them together; no fault of the restaurant). My burger was delicious; I'll definitely come back when I need a burger fix. However, my review is mixed because I found the ambience lacking - the music was loud and of what I considered to be an obnoxious selection (personal taste, I know, but hey, it's my review). Also my menu was dirty, which was a real turn-off. A few customer-focused tweaks and it could be a five-star experience for me, but currently it's not.

Dinner was amazing! Lots of great food. Lots of gluten-free options. Taylor was fantastic!

Rachel Whalen

I found my new go-to spot! I'm looking for healthy spots to eat (mainly gluten free and dairy free options). The food at Happy & Hale is not only healthy and meets my dietary needs but it's also SO DELICIOUS! Everyone working at this location is extremely friendly and makes you feel really welcome and at home. I met the owner and he's super friendly as well! Try JP's gluten free desserts - you will not be disappointed!

Brunch is LEGIT, and very reasonable on the price index , Dinner on the other hand is more fine dining. However it worth it, especially those with dietary restriction like vegetarian or Gluten free

Dani Dire

Hands down one of the best gluten free buns! Anytime I’m craving a burger, this is where we go. Most of the time when I ask for the gluten free bun they ask immediately if it’s an allergy before I can even say it. I’m celiac but saying it’s an allergy is usually easier. They do NOT have a dedicated fryer so stay away from the fries and tater tots unfortunately.

Melody Dickerson

Sooo yummy! Richard was our server and he was so kind and VERY helpful and accommodating to my gluten free friend. 10/10!

Khalisa Rae

one of my favorite restaurants. great gluten free options. warm and welcoming. ive only gotten sick once from the tortilla soup so if you have celiacs, i would stay away from it.

Julia

I love Heirloom and their gluten free mochi donuts

Emily Giglio

Awesome time! Music bingo is so fun and the food was great!! They even had gluten free buns! Molly is a wonderful server. Can’t recommend this place enough!

Edward Richards

Celebrated my birthday this week at Oro. One of the best restaurant experiences I have had in Raleigh. Being celiac makes it difficult to confidently eat out but our server was very knowledgeable and accommodating for me. Food and drinks we delicious.

Shaun Provost

The front of house staff were very friendly but unfortunately there were hardly any gluten free options. The fryer (and all apps except one) were cross contaminated, and few entrees were exclusively gluten free even with modifications. Ended up with a burger (which was delicious), but no fries etc.

DJ B

Had a lovely time here - the food was delicious and the drinks just as good. Loved the lemon lavender shot! A few more gluten free options would be awesome. We did have an issue with one of the staff being rude to one of our party who was running a bit late, which was a shame since the service had been amazing up until that point.

Deborah e

I was very impressed! They have vegetarian and gluten free options and some really tasty drinks!

Tracy Willis

I have dined here 4 times. I want to love it so much: The food it good. Although cold savory crepes aren’t my favorite the flavors are good. The service is the absolute worst. Warm water, never refilled unless you can literally run someone down. Our crepe (all 4 times) took over an hour! I kept trying to talk to our waitress but each time she reacted like I was asking her to walk to the moon and back. The last time and yes it will be the last time I go, I brought a friend for her birthday for a gluten free crepe: She has celiacs - which we told our waitress 3 times. She was also extremely annoyed at us for mentioning that 3 times. The dessert crepe came out after a 40 minute wait and it was not gluten free. My friend went to take a bite and noticed it wasn’t buckwheat: we are pretty nice women, but after an hour and 45 minutes at this point, WE were annoyed. We received no apologies, not offer to quickly re make a crepe, nothing. I was so embarrassed I had recommended Press for her celebration. Please work on the service so I can enjoy a crepe in a fun location.

This was my first time at Mofu and I will absolutely go back! I have Celiacs and the entire restaurant was kindly accommodating to help me avoid Gluten. The menu also has some delicious Gluten free options. The assistant manager waited on us and was the friendliest person, he gave me a whole list of gluten free options and offered me substitutions to make other menu items Celiacs friendly. My meal came out 3-5 min after my parties due to an error in the kitchen and he was kind enough to comp their delicious Vietnamese Coffee Mousse - wholly unnecessary as I was not bothered, but highly appreciated! Myself and my friends had a great meal, great drinks and the best time!

Rebecca Soustek

To begin, I am not a huge Mexican food person but anytime I want delicious food with a large variety of low carb options, gluten free options in the friendliest restaurant around I take my family here. The food is cooked to order, fresh and delicious and they have something for everyone. Excellent food, very clean restaurant and superb staff.

Kelly Hewitt Penke

We visited for the first time yesterday and were seated outside. The space was very comfortable with a covered patio and fans on high blast. We were welcomed and very well taken care of by the host and waitresses who were all very knowledgeable and helpful navigating gluten free options! Not only that but the drinks and appetizer we got (barria tacos) were AMAZING! I would highly recommend for date night or night out with friends.

Mitch Danforth

I had a great experience at Stir with a friend. We both had the Viva La Astral cocktail, mine with Mezcal and hers with Casamigos Reposado Tequila...and they were *excellent*. I also had the Tuna Burger with asparagus, both excellent as well. Kelsey took great care of us as our server and was helpful in navigating the menu with respect to our respective gluten and dairy sensitivities 👏👏👏 This was my first time visiting Stir, and I’ll definitely be back!

Diana Vazquez

Everyone here was super hospitable and the vibe was very romantic. We were seated immediately with our reservation, our server was so attentive and the chef brought us an apple swan, which was so sweet! The sushi rolls were so fresh and beautifully presented! I’m gluten free and they made sure to bring gluten free soy sauce! We had a wonderful experience:) Would recommend for a date night!

Natasha Bieber

Food was delicious and atmosphere was great for our girls night but also a perfect date night spot! I’m gluten free and they were very accommodating! The chicken leg was 🤌🏼 we ordered 2!

Cozy outdoor patio with great ambiance, delicious food with lots of gluten free options (thank you!), very attentive waitstaff, and great drinks for great causes 👍🏻 So happy to have found this little hidden gem, and I look forward to trying the menu downstairs at Centro soon as well!

I had brunch at Hummingbird with my mom and sister this weekend, and it was fabulous. They have so many fun cocktails. We stayed classic with Aperol Spritz, but I definitely wouldn’t mind trying some of the other stuff on the menu. What I really want to commend is the service. I have celiac disease, so eating out can be stressful. While they don’t have tons of GF options, there are some and they will explain the menu items that are safe if you chat with your server! One of the employees, Erin, even came up to my table to confirm that I could not have any cross contact with gluten and provided the option to cook my toastada for the huevos rancheros in a pan rather than the fryer that contained gluten items. I so appreciate this attention to detail when I eat out! Food was awesome, drinks were delicious, and service was excellent.

Fantastic. We were welcomed by an Italian gentleman, answered any question we had without hesitation. Thats just the service. The food was one of the best Italian foods we have had. Very authentic. Menu is authentic. Gluten free options are available so it was a massive plus. Recommend here if you are looking for fine Italian dining. You will have a great experience.
