from Google & Yelp"Glad we stumbled upon this great place! Fair Witness is one of Winston-Salem’s best-kept secrets and absolutely worth a visit. The atmosphere is laid-back yet vibrant, with cozy lighting and great music that sets the perfect mood. It's a no-frills space, but with creative touches throughout making it feel special - and the same goes for their cocktails. The Bourbon Sunset? Seriously, GO GET IT. The servers are attentive and make sure you’re well taken care of, and honestly, I think Fair Witness might make the best cocktails I've had in the city. Fair Witness is hands down my go-to spot for a top-notch drink in Winston-Salem."
"Great drinks in a wonderful, cozy, neighborhood atmosphere. I love finding places that feel really local and community-centric when I travel, and Fair Witness fits that description perfectly. There were always folks huddled around the fire pits in conversation whenever I walked by, and during my visit, it seemed like every seat at the bar was occupied by someone making a new friend. If you like a chill, honest place to have a drink, here's where you should go."
"Quirky dive bar in a great section of downtown. The mixed drinks are great and there is ample seating in and outside. As well as fire tables outside to stay warm."

"Fair Witness is an amazing cocktail bar, a place I'll visit time and time again. It's the kind of spot that just feels right, where the focus is on crafting fantastic custom cocktails that'll leave you wanting more. The cocktail menu is pure perfection! You can choose to sit inside, cozy up by the fire pit, or enjoy the fresh air at their charming picnic tables. Service here? Always a flawless 10/10. Even when they might not have all the ingredients for your desired cocktail, they go above and beyond to accommodate your taste buds. Plus, they don't mind if you want to capture the magic on camera while they craft your drink – a definite bonus! WHAT WE ORDERED: - House-made Vermouth on draft, a delightful fusion of grapefruit, lemon, orange peel, elderflower, chamomile, and vanilla bean - Juliet y Romeo: A minty cucumber gimlet with a twist! We add unpeeled cucumber for a hint of bitterness, a pinch of salt in the drink, and a spritz of rosewater for that extra touch of elegance - Spools of String: A Manhattan-inspired creation featuring muddled strawberries, a dash of Angostura bitters, nutty dry sherry, and Cocchi Americano infused with chai from Angelina's tea - Egg White Vodka Sour: A unique blend of lemon, egg white, vodka infused with blueberries for six months, Benedictine liqueur, a dash of black pepper, and a sprinkle of salt Cheers to great drinks and good times! Here's to many more rounds of delicious drinks and unforgettable memories at Fair Witness! FOLLOW @zackaryeats for more foodie finds"
"I was finally able to come enjoy the restaurant while sitting at the bar. I selected a window seat. I enjoy being able to look outside and enjoy the view...."
