Raleigh, N.C., Nightlife. At night, Raleigh, N.C., buzzes with activity. Only a destination with the big-city energy yet small-town approachability of Raleigh can act as such a welcoming place to spend a night on the town sipping cocktails, dancing to some live music, or discovering a modern-meets-historic, local beer bar that residents aren't worried about keeping secret.

Vita Vite
The frosé at Vita Viteis phenomenal. And I highly recommend getting a charcuterie board to share! The design of this spot is so beautiful and homey. The main room is set up like a dining room and living room. There’s a room in the back as well with some comfy seating, but my favorite is the outdoor porch loveseat swing. After one or two frosés, you may get so comfortable you forget you’re not at your great Aunt Lois’s country house relaxing on a Sunday afternoon. Don’t worry, the charcuterie...
Brewery Bhavana
Don’t be fooled by the name— Brewery Bhavana is soo much more than just a brewery. If you want to eat here, make reservations.It was the weekend, so it could be different during the week, but the wait was long, and there wasn’t even room at the bar. Butno worries— even if you neglect to make reservations and can’t even find a seat at the bar, there is plenty to walk around and look at. Okay, it’s pretty much all books, but books are my jam, so I really liked this place. They have books everyw...
Watts & Ward
If you’ve been following me, you know I love a good speakeasy. It’s something I look up in every city I go to. The bartenders at these places always go above and beyond with the cocktails, and they have such unique menus. Not to mention you usually enter via a secret or hidden entry, and sometimes even need a password to get in! Watts & Wardwas a little different than other speakeasies I’ve been to in that it was much larger. There are numerous rooms and areas to explore while you’re sipping...
Green Light at The Architect
Green Light at The Architectgives the perfect intimate downtown Raleigh nightlife vibe. This is the type of speakeasy I’m used to. You find the sign for The Architect, and next to it, you’ll see a cute little green light. Head up the stairs and look to your right once you’re at the top. You will see a bookcase, and within the bookcase is a secret door. Behind that, the Green Light awaits. This spot is a bit more intimate, with a much smaller area, but the drinks are just as good. There were j...
Lucky B’s
Lucky B’sis going to be unlike the rest of the places I have presented you with. Their website heading states, “The Classiest Dive Bar in Raleigh. NEVER A COVER, ALWAYS A GREAT TIME.” And that’s exactly what you’re gonna get here. Once you’ve enjoyed your carefully crafted cocktails, I want you to head over here and switch gears back to your vodka sodas. It’s not about the drinks here, but the fun environment. Great music, cheap drinks, and some fun bar games (I have a soft spot for bars with...
42 & Lawrence
Okay, first things first, we need to get caffeinated. I had to include this charming, modern, artsy-vibed coffee shop. Their cappuccinos are alright, but the specialty drinks— that’s where it’s really at. I got an iced Cinnamon Toast. It’s made with rosehips, chamomile, maple syrup, and sprinkled with cinnamon sugar. Btw— rosehip is the part of the rose flower just below the petals and contains the seeds of the plant (I totally had to look that up).
Morgan Street Food Hall
Morgan Street Food Hall has soooo many options in regards to drinks as well as food (very similar to Armature Works in Tampa). I of course could not try it all, but I can guarantee no matter what you’re craving, they will have it here. They have a nice array of seating from comfy couches set up in an area inside, to picnic tables and benches outside. For food, what are you feeling— pizza? A lobster roll? Curry? Oh, you’re feeling dessert? Would you like rolled ice cream, macaroons, or mini do...

Sep 6, 2022 · Carolina Ale House. Opened in early 2015, the Carolina Ale House on Glenwood Ave. in downtown Raleigh takes things to a new level. Radiant-heated floors and a retractable roofing system make the patio areas of this sports bar truly one of a kind. It's a big space, too, with a capacity for more than 400 in total.
