Things To Do
Whiskey Kitchen
An absolute favorite --both of ours and of Raleigh locals! You can enjoy delicious, smoked southern dishes, sample your choice of over 200 whiskeys, and try out a new and unique cocktail on the sun-filled porch.
Raleigh Beer Garden
With more than 350 beers on tap, the Raleigh Beer Garden has one of the world's largest beer selection, made official when representatives from Guinness World Records visited in 2015. Located in Raleigh's young + hip Glenwood South district, this venue has plenty of outdoor space that even includes a rooftop "garden" --officially making it the perfect warm-weather hangout spot. A full dining menu includes everything from handcrafted pizzas to cheese and charcuterie plates to quench your hunger and your thirst.
Barcelona Wine Bar
Whether stopping by for brunch, lunch, or dinner, you won't be disappointed by the hearty + delicious tapas selection, all while immersed in a European cafe-esque vibe
Jolie Restaurant
Nearby the Sheraton and Hotel 83, Jolie is a quaint French bistro offering rooftop seating from five-time James Beard Foundation Best Chef: Southeast semifinalist, Scott Crawford
Layered Croissanterie
Imported french butter. Need I say more? This bakery has truly refined its art by perfecting the basics (the butter, duh) in their painstakingly perfected dough to ultimately create the flaky, delicious, melt-in-your-mouth pastry of your dreams. Paired with coffee and sun-filled cafe, you really can't go wrong when you start your day here.
