Entry No. 29 — the Raleigh file — filed under: secret door

Aunty Betty's Gin & Absinthe Bar

Hidden behind a secret door inside the bustling Morgan Street Food Hall, this moody, velvet-draped oasis feels worlds away from the bright food stalls just outside. It specializes in high-end gin and absinthe, complete with an in-house ice-carving program and traditional tableside absinthe fountain rituals.

The move: Grab some casual food-hall bites, then slip through the secret door next to Iyla's Southern Kitchen to share a dramatic, slow-drip absinthe fountain ritual under the color-changing neon lights.
