Shakey Ray's Tavern

Shakey Ray's Tavern is a friendly neighborhood bar and grill known for wings, sandwiches and sports on the TV. The menu covers starters like loaded tots, mozzarella sticks and nacho platters, with sandwiches such as the BLT, the Dagwood and a haddock sandwich, plus a fish fry and a Rochester-style garbage plate. Food is made fresh to order.

The bar carries most TV sports packages, so regulars come in for NFL, MLB, NBA and NHL games. Live music, karaoke and music bingo are part of the regular lineup, and the bar offers outdoor seating and gift cards. It can also host private events and catering. The tavern is at Sunset Lake Road in Apex, and reviewers often mention it as a spot in the Holly Springs area.
