Burial is my favorite brewery in Raleigh, hands down. I mostly love their stouts, but their sours are good too. I love their artwork, the people here are nice, there is plenty of space to hang out, and you can bring food in from the attached food hall. I bring all my out-of-town visitors here at least once on my Raleigh tour. :) read more

We stopped by on Wednesday afternoon for a quick drink. Johnny tried the surf wax beer and I tried the Sauvignon Blanc "Sink into Seclusion ". Omg the taste is so unique. The brewery is very artsy, clean and has great swag. Service was friendly. Prices are fair. Go with confidence read more

Just as good as their other locations! I love that each location has a theme/purpose. Since this one is "The Exhibit" there's lots of art work. Beer is always delicious--the stouts are some of my favorites and I highly recommend them. Service is great, atmosphere is great, and parking was easy in the lot. read more

The beer selection was great! The artwork was interesting on the walls and all the plants were a nice touch. However the seating was uncomfortable. I had a weird experience with the bartender. She offered another patron a free sample before trying a beer but wouldn't allow me the same courtesy because I mentioned I was thinking of getting a flight. Never have I ever heard of this at a brewery. Definitely was not happy about the service. Yet I did proceed to buy a box full of $$$ beers Togo. Hence why i didn't give this place 5 stars for being discriminated by the bartend and charged for a sample. Even though said bartend handed free samples out to others. Bad business model in my opinion. read more

The best West Coast IPA in the triangle. They also do natural wine. Tap room usually has seating and you can bring food in from the adjacent food hall. Artwork is amazing, bottle shop in the back. Never had an issue parking. Wins all around. read more

As you approach the entrance to the brewery, they have outdoor seating along the sidewalk. As you enter, it is very welcoming with a wide variety of beers. The board has good explanations on the beer and the flavors. I tried all of the IPAs and the surf wax was by far my favorite. However, they were all good beers. The business adjoins a food court, which has a large variety of local restaurants. Dogs are welcome in the brewery and they have water bowls available if needed. The art decor inside is amazing. They have a bottle shop and gift shop attached to next-door. I was a little disappointed that the T-shirts were $35 apiece, but they are good quality shirts. Staff was very helpful and kind during our visit. We really enjoyed this brewery and plan on returning. read more

Burial Beer - The Exhibit - Inside Burial - Beer Bar Near Me - Raleigh, North Carolina

The beer was SO good! A must for any beer lovers in Raleigh (or Asheville for that matter).

I was lucky enough to make a spontaneous stop at Burial in Downtown Raleigh and give it a try and I may have found my new favorite downtown spot! Burial's Raleigh location is within a very industrial looking space connected to a large food hall. The decor was incredible - artwork with blood and skulls hang on the walls while deer skulls crafted into light fixtures dangle above the bar. I found myself constantly gazing around the entire building to see the sights, I absolutely loved it. They also have local artists' work on the walls as well, which I always appreciate. Inside you will find a ton of seating, plenty of large tables that could easily seat a large party of people as well as some tables outside. They are also dog friendly, with an assortment of metal water bowls on the wall to use. There is a door that takes you directly into the food hall next door, where you can grab a bite and bring it back into Burial to enjoy with your drink. Food can come in, but alcohol can't go out! Burial has an extensive beer selection, with the menu being conveniently organized on the wall as you walk in. They definitely have something for everyone's taste. Some of the names are comedically long - but it's so on brand with the atmosphere, I love it. Being my first time, I wanted to try as much as I could. Take note - they do not do flights, but you can order short pours two at a time. I enjoyed everything I tried, from the wheat beers to the stouts to the sours, but "The Beginning is After the End" coffee porter was a standout. I had a total of six short pours and had still barely scratched the surface of their offerings.  What a spot! Burial has great beer, a great location, and killer ambiance. This place is a gem, and I will definitely be back. read more

Burial originally hails from Asheville, and the location close to downtown Raleigh offers a selection of high quality, fresh beer. The tap list spans about 24 brews spanning from triple hopped IPAs to tart, funky sours. The variety translates to good selections for any beer palette. Most of the beers my wife, brother in law, and I sampled were excellent. The bartenders here are knowledgeable and helpful with choosing brews. Provided samples were generous, and the brewery does smaller 4 or 8 oz pours for the noncommittal or for those who want to try many different styles. For the more beer averse, Burial also offers frose and frozen beer-mosas which seemed refreshing on a hot day. The space itself is open and industrial with plenty of high tops and benches for seating. We fortunately snagged one of the three sidewalk tables on a beautiful day outside, but know that outside seating is very limited if that is important to you. Beers here did not seem too pricey with most pints costing no more than $8. Street parking even on a busy day was a cinch. Burial definitely ranks among my favorite breweries in town (and likely the state), and is worth visiting for any beer enthusiast. read more

If you love good craft beer with a heavy metal backdrop, this is the place for you!! Beers have some outrageously long names and they usually have a wide variety on tap to try. It's nextdoor to Morgan st town hall, so lots of tasty bites next door. read more

Great strong beers with an IPA emphasis and good service. You can also order food from any of the vendors in Transfer Food Hall next door and they'll bring it over. read more

What an AWESOME place! So glad that I stopped in for a drink with some friends. It's quite low-key. A nice place to chill while sipping on some beer. There were so many beers to choose from! I didn't know what to get so went with the "Nitro Skillet - Donut Stout". I hit jackpot! That was by far the best chocolate stout I've had. It went down so smooth! I could've gone for another glass. I love the foamy-ness of the beer. Overall, the customer service was spot on! Especially with just one bartender, she was amazing and so knowledgeable. Respect! I can't wait to return and try everything on the menu. Not to mention, the store section is super nice too. Grab some gear and beer to go! read more

Love that Burial has expanded their space, SO much better! Still love their beer and not that there is more space to enjoy, will look to come more often. Lots of large tables for groups to hang out. Good selection of eats at the food hall next door. Great service, will let you sample a beer before you commit to a pour! read more

Burial is one of my favorite breweries. The Forestry Camp in Asheville is amazing with great food. The Exhibit in Raleigh is nice, and they have the beer, but it is lacking some atmosphere. Lots of paintings, but it lacks character beyond the can art. Service was very good. So I'm dropping a star just for the atmosphere ... I blame Burial Forestry Camp for setting the bar too high! read more

Unfortunately Burial Beer built their Raleigh location way too close to my house and have caused me to have a slight problem... But how can I not go their on every possible occasion when they're serving up some of the best brews in the Triangle?! And now that they've expanded their space, having tables to sit out, bar seating and [limited] outdoor seating, it's large enough to bring all my friends. They always have amazing DIPAs, IPAs and stouts on board and some great names as well (I'll take a pound of flesh please!) Their bar tenders are fantastic (shout out to Ellis and Anna!). You can grab some food next door at Transfer Co or grab some of their [limited] bar snacks. This is definitely a beer lovers place, although they do serve a limited selection of wine and typically have Le'Croix for non-drinkers. I love their bright, open and green space, it goes well to contrast the beautifully dark artwork. Until next time Burial! read more

Stopped here TWICE while we stayed in Asheville. Food was absolutely phenomenal. Service was top notch, my husband is a big craft beer guy and absolutely loved this place. The vibe is so unique, glass windows and wood seating. We loved the area it was in and will definitely be back! read more

My wife and I stopped in here on the way down to Florida. The beers were delicious. I have been to their Asheville location, but I was only stopping in to buy beers, so I definitely wanted to stop in and drink some beers. I like the atmosphere and the vibe. The staff was friendly, and you can get a bunch of different food options next door. I'll definitely stop in again if I'm ever in Raleigh again. read more

First off, the vibes of this place: immaculate. It was like "what if the grim reaper rose up and opened a brewery". They have long tables which is great for groups (and even board game nights). They're connected directly to the food hall which is fantastic--buy food and take into burial to enjoy a beer. However, the beer itself did not impress me. I got the hellstar (dunkel lager). It was quite honestly devoid of flavor. (I guess I should preface that I've enjoyed many a munich dunkel, and it's even one of my favorite go-tos.) Also, the apostle for none (pb banana chocolate stout) which was very flavorful, but omg oh so rich! I couldn't even finish the 4oz pour. (Though the two weren't bad mixed together.) I'd try it again if a friend wanted to go but probably won't venture here again of my own volition. read more

Great atmosphere and service! Went on Memorial Day while showing some out-of-town guests around Raleigh, NC and this was a great stop to add in our tour. Staff recommended a great beer that four out of the five of us got (Billows). We played a card game at our table and other groups were eating food they brought in or just talking/hanging out. Dogs are allowed which is great inside! read more

My associate told me if there was one brewery/beer spot to hit in Raleigh, that Burial was the place. Was not disappointed in any way. The spot is a very cute beer hall/room, with a wrap around bar that sits prolly 8. Lots of open seating, and lots of beer variety. Their IPAs are what to get, but I'm off the IPA so I got a bunch of sours, which are normally not my fave, but these were amazing. There is a march room that is also sort of an art room, and I bought a shirt for the wife, who despite having not been, wears it with pride. read more

Suzie is the best. So considerate, professional, kind, and funny. Bailey was also extremely warm and helpful. Thank you ladies for the best evening. read more

We have been to the Asheville location and have always loved it. We were coming into town and were thrilled to find that they also have a location here. As always, their sours were literally to die for. If I wasn't just in town for a visit and wanting to try more of their beers, I would have continued to drink the sours all day. The atmosphere is also great, very chill and open. Dog friendly. We will 100% be coming back here the next time we are in town. read more

Stopped in for a quick beer and a glass of vino with my daughter. There are a lot of local beers on tap as well as a nice house made wine selection. I can't wait to come back when it's warmer so I can sit on the patio sip. Check them out when you are in the RDU area. #eatingwithchefsean It's Gon' Be Dope! read more

Burial has expanded and I am liking it. I can finally enjoy my beer and sit down. My favorite beer is The Steady Death IPA; however, I wish a 4 pack of cans was not $16. Burial is a must visit if you are visiting Asheville, now you don't have to travel far because you can try them at their new location - "the exhibit." read more

Had continually horrible service by one bartender here, female and with tattoos medium height. Continually discriminates against me. On one occasion asked me if I was trying to order drinks on someone else's tab because I said my middle name instead of first name which my card said. Second time I was asked for an ID when I've been there and been served by her at least a hundred times. It's expired so I give her the LEGAL slip of watermarked paper the DMV gives while yours is in the mail. She refuses to serve me. The amount of money I've spent here. Too bad Burial beer is the best around read more

This was my first time finally being able to check out one of Burial's locations. Just as expected, it was a great experience! It is a nice little spot in Raleigh with plenty of seating indoor and outdoors. They certainly have some of the best beer in the game right now and this location has a roughly 15-20 taps! Plenty of beer to go around for the average beer drinker to the beer snob. I will definitely be back to try more of their stuff and swing by the togo shop to bring stuff back home! read more

A huge space that is dog friendly! The beer names are a bit much, but we loved everything we tasted. They have wine, which I appreciated since I'm not much of a beer drinker. Great selection and they have an assortment of sizes you can get, so taste away! Steps away from all that Raleigh has to offer too. read more

This place is great. Not too big but not too small. Never have a problem finding a seat. I really like there beer and the staff is super helpful. The art in here is worth going by itself. But go for the beer. They have great options for everyone and there is a lot of flavor. I even bought some to take home. read more

Huckberry magazine rated the Asheville brewery as the best brewery in NC. Given I live in Raleigh, I stopped by this location. And I was very impressed. Not only is the interior design and styling very unique, clean, and artistic, but the beer itself is top notch. Highly recommend. read more

I love the Asheville location and am SO excited they came to Raleigh. Their beers are really unique and have tons of flavor. I like the "badass" feel of their merch, beer names, and beer labels. The space is intimate but somehow there's always room to squeeze in. The staff is knowledgeable and friendly. In this location they have beers for tap, and beers in cans and bottles to take home. They also sell unique art and Burial t-shirts. read more

We were walking by Burial at around 6 PM on a Tuesday, doors were wide open, someone was behind the counter and someone else was sitting at the bar. We headed inside and were about to sit down when the person sitting at the bar glanced up, said "we're closed" and then went back to ignoring us. Very rude and dismissive, and confusing given that both doors were open. I hate that our first experience here was so negative because we probably won't be back now. Definitely remember to always prioritize customer service and friendly behavior - even if it's just to let people know you aren't open. read more

One of my favorite beer destinations in Raleigh! They make a fantastic product, the staff is welcoming, the space is inspiring, the bottle shop is well stocked, and the Transfer Co Food Hall fills in any gaps. Well worth a visit! read more

Before you go to Burial Raleigh you will need to ask yourself a few questions: Do you like delicious beers? Do you like beer styles that are interesting but also approachable? Do you like craft beer venues that are at the top of the game without being pretentious? If so Burial is your place. They don't make ANY bad beers. They have beers for most anyone. They make world class beer that you can't get anywhere else(except Asheville NC). Trust me I am an expert. Follow me on Untapped Dickiewatty read more

Love Burial and I am happy they are here in Raleigh. They are located in Transfer Co. food hall. Their space is pretty tight, hopefully they expand soon, I hope so. I mean they are called the Exhibit. They have a ton of parking on the road, on the sides of the buildings, so parking is no trouble at all. Overall, I love their beer! There is usually Dank Burrito food truck in the front where you can get amazing burritos. There is also food inside the food hall. Love coming here! read more

For fans of Burial, the Exhibit will bring to mind the early days of the brewery - a small space backed by passionate staff, devoted to delivering beer experiences from the comforting to the curious. Located in the new Transfer food hall, the small tasting room/release outpost offers a cozy standing-only bar space with walls covered in images of classic Burial art, and taps flowing with everything from always popular lagers, currently hip IPAs, sturdy stouts, and more experimental beers like a bright pink saison with prickly pear and sumac or a sour aged in oak with apricot juice and peach noyaux. It's card only - no cash for now, but do bring some for tips! - which makes the line move fast and the space is small but arranged for maximum flow, so even when it's busy it doesn't feel claustrophobic. Bathrooms are located outside of the Exhibit in the main Transfer hall, which is gradually opening up with a handful of dining choices currently doing business; perfect for a bite after beers! It may not provide a luxe experience currently but there's little doubt that, like the original brewery, this little outpost will thrive and grow to provide Raleigh and the Triangle with the same excellent craft brewing that brought success in Asheville. read more

Very good beer selection. Quite a wait in line - this place is popular. It's located right outside of the Transfer Food Hall - no entrance from within the food hall. Minimalist setting with clay pots and plants along the exposed briick wall. Just a few tables and chairs for sitting, mostly picnic tables. Expect to share a table with strangers. But then again....after you share a few beers maybe you won't be strangers?! When a spot opened up, we cleaned up the table, including the prior guests' beer glasses. If the staff is not going to bus tables regularly, perhaps consider having a spot where guests can take their glasses upon leaving? Other than that, it was a fun start to our evening in downtown Raleigh! read more

The ipa is great! The venue is a closet. The service is fair at best. I get that there are a ton of non-beer drinkers visiting the food hall but either hire more people for service or start doing flights. Just don't expect Asheville and you won't be disappointed. Pro tip- everything you want is in the fridge... Don't even mess with these people. Go in break line, get beer out of the case, and keep it moving. read more
