Raleigh Beer Garden – Lots of beer! a lot of good beer, need I say more?
Raleigh Beer Garden on Glenwood Avenue claim to fame is that they “are proud to offer the world’s largest selection of draft beers available in one restaurant” I read that they are actually in the Guinness book of records for having the most beer pumps, 366 I heard. I like to try a few different beers…
Paddy O’Beers – “Good Beer. Good Times. Happy People.”
Paddy O’Beers in Raleigh is a ‘Bottle Shop & Tasting’ Room located up on Fayetteville St near to the State Capitol building. I have found myself frequenting this place on occasion as I check out the Triangle. It is a pretty friendly place and they certainly seem to know and care a lot about the beers that…
Hot Dogs at The Roast Grill – Family owned for generations and really good too!
The Roast Grill was number one on my list of places to visit in Raleigh NC to get a hot dog. I think it was the stories I had read about how it had been here since 1940 and how it had hardly changed during that time that really whet my appetite and piqued my excitement…

Tasty 8’s Gourmet Hot Dogs in Raleigh is located on Fayettville Street up at the end near to the State Capitol building. I like a hot dog and I am always intrigued when someone says that they have a ‘gourmet’ dog, it sounds like a oxymoron. I am always willing to take a chance and I…

Apart from the Bluegrass, Mike also promised us that we would be able to get some BBQ from the Whole Hog Barbecue Championship so this was a day out potentially with a win win situation. During the day…
Crank Arm Brewery in Raleigh – Great local brewery and Great place for a really good beer
Crank Arm Brewery in Raleigh, North Carolina is located in the Warehouse District just over the road from Pit Barbeque (that will be my only mention of food in this post). I had this place on my radar as one of the microbreweries that I just had to try when I headed over this weekend…
North Street Beer Station – Local Beers on draft, in the bottle and in cans
North Street Beer Station As I was walking down Greenwood Avenue in Raleigh on Friday evening I cast my eye down North Street where I saw a dimly lit doorway. In the distance I could see people sprawling out onto the sidewalk. In the shadows it looked like they were drinking beer from bottles and cans and plastic glasses. I…
