"A playground, tater tot nachos, and an extensive bourbon list. This popular Apex spot has put some thought into how to attract families. It’s worth the 20-minute drive from Raleigh to let your kids play in the fully fenced-in giant sandbox and tire-themed playground to have a drink in relative peace and quiet. If you’re not feeling a pour of Whistlepig or Basil Hayden, the Bumper Car mocktail is a refreshing mix of blueberries, lemon, and soda, or there are 23 rotating beers to choose from. When the kids are ready to tap out and fuel up, split the totchos, a mound of tots groaning with all the best nacho toppings on top." - Elliott Harrell
