Hank's Downtown Dive

Restaurant · Cary

@postcardnews

Despite the name, Hank’s is a chef-driven hangout: North Carolina seafood, seasonal small plates, and serious cocktails in a moody, music-friendly room. It’s a frequent Eater Carolinas pick and a Cary Magazine reader favorite for date night. The menu changes often; the bottled dirty martini and gluten‑free fried chicken have a cult following.
