    Dram and Draught Raleigh is in a part of Downtown, and is across the street from the hotel I was staying at for a work trip. With big glass windows, you can quickly see their library-style (big shelves with a rolling ladder to navigate it) selection of whiskey and spirits. Whiskey is my jam, so I tried this place a couple times during my trip. Just looking at the whiskeys, they have a very expansive selection covering different regions and different price points, the cheap bottles to the very high end bottles. It's good to have a wide range of price points, it keeps the bar tables more manageable. They have a full menu of all their spirits which includes pricing options for 1, 1.5 or 2 oz. They have a menu of boilmakers which are essentially shot and beer packages for $8-9. I tried their Irish Goodbye which was a shot of Bushmills and an Irish cider. They have a cocktail list, but I mainly tried their different whiskeys, except for a version of an Old Fashioned which was pretty good. They have a $8 "mystery shot" which is a random selection of their different bottles to help promote. I tried it one evening where it happened to be a bottle of Nikka Single Malt Whiskey (which usually would ordinarily go for $18/20 per shot, getting it for $8 was a real good deal). The staff were super friendly and it seems like a neighborhood spot, meaning not too fancy and attracts more than just tourists.

    FIRE ambiance. This spot is super classy--the kind of place you go when you're feeling fancy. The wall of backlit bottles looks amazing. If you're in the mood to sip drinks in a vibey, upscale setting, this is your spot. I got the Galileo, Figaro, and it was actually really good. It's got this nutty taste with lemon, gin, brown sugar, and fig--honestly, a killer combo. A little on the sour side, but it balanced out really well. Highly recommend giving it a try! The bartender was a vibe as well :) Definitely a place I'd come back.

    We stopped by on a Monday evening around 7 o'clock for a cocktail. This location has a huge selection of bourbon and whiskey to choose from as well as other liquors, such as scotch and gin. My husband opted for their old fashion, which is made with their single barrel Elijah Craig. It was his first time trying Elijah Craig, and overall not his favorite bourbon to have an old-fashioned. I opted for the PB and julep, which had Woodford reserve, strawberry purée peanut butter cream, and it literally tasted like a peanut butter and jelly sandwich. It definitely was very creamy so if creamy liquors are not your thing I would not recommend the drink, but overall the flavor was amazing. They have outside seating as well as inside. It was fairly steady when we got there, but emptied out pretty quickly.

    Small Axe

    Came here for the first time a few months ago with a friend to grab a drink before a concert. It wasn't too busy when we came so we had no trouble finding a seat. I was a bit overwhelmed by the menu so I asked the bartender for recommendations and ended up choosing the small axe. The drink had a sweet and smoky flavor and it was unlike anything I'd ever tasted before, super unique and delicious! Overall I had a great experience, the bartenders were friendly, the drinks were great, and atmosphere was lively but not overwhelming. I plan to check out the Cary and Durham locations sometime!

    Great bar located conveniently across the street from our hotel! Cocktails and an amazing selection of whiskies for the hubby! We really enjoyed coming as a couple and as a group Everytime we were at Dram and draught the hubby didn't want to leave

    My boyfriend and I finally visited this bar on Saturday night and we had a great time. The drinks are very well made and strong. The bartenders were friendly and we loved the vibe, music and decor. I ordered the Guimauve Carre', which tasted like a boozy campfire, and the Private barrel Old Fashioned. I can't wait to return.

    On our voyage back to our hotel, we noticed dram and draught right across the street. As a whiskey lover I had to partake as I could have a few and just walk over to our room after. The inside was nice and the tables were well spread apart so we decided to go indoors. I was In awe of all the options and was delighted to try a flight. Our server was very helpful in assisting me in finding flights that matched my taste. We opted not to get food as this was just a nightcap after dinner. I was able to settle on just a few from the hundreds of options they offered. I was able to find one I was very fond of and have a great experience while trying new things. My friends just grabbed a beer to accompany me In My experiments. We were treated very well. The atmosphere was amazing as you could tell only the serious whiskey drinkers came to this place. I felt at home. Looking forward to going back.

    Indoor vibe.

    This place is too cute! The music was amazing (Beyoncé, Frank Ocean, Sza) and the drinks are very creative. I got a Prosecco with spiced apple syrup for the holidays

    I didn't have food there but the drinks are really good. I had the campfire delight, very similar to an espresso martini! The vibes are chill, music is reasonable volumes and you can still talk to your friends without yelling. Good customer service as well. Table service!!

    I love the Greensboro location and was intrigued to visit the one in Raleigh. During a weekend visit to a friend, we decided to include this bar to our bar hopping experience on a Saturday night. We were not disappointed by the drinks and excellent service. The cocktails are always their signature specialty. Unfortunately, I can't remember the name of the cocktail in this pic but it was delicious as usual. I look forward to stop by the next time I visit the capital!

I am compelled to remind every resident and every visitor to make this a "must go to and enjoy" place for either brunch on Saturday or Sunday, or for dinner any night of the week. Go for the amazing cuisine, vast wine list, and stay for the outstanding service! Recently, we have found ourselves trying not to enjoy just our go-to favorites that are mainstays on the ever-evolving menu. We have been blown away by the flavors of the large plate option called Chicken Pimientos. Don't let the name throw you, because it's not super spicy, it just has a nice kick to it with delicious potatoes accompanying the very moist and flavorful chicken. The way the kitchen team at Barcelona handles the preparation of the eggplant caponata is impressive and very unique. Other favorites on the tapas section of the menu recently are stuffed piquillos, corn zucchini bunuelos (think fair food turned healthy!), Wagyu carpaccio, lamb kofta, and pulpo gallego. Remember that their tapas offerings rotate in and out, oftentimes based on the season and availability of fresh products. The wine offerings are unparalleled in the city of Raleigh, and when you visit for dinner on a Monday evening, every bottle is half-priced. Can't beat that for a way to jump-start your work week! We tend to sit at the bar on most visits as bartenders Kira and Cameron truly handle their bar with a welcoming vibe and impressive ease. General manager Jed is a visible leader of this great team and makes every guest feel appreciated. Awesome job all the way around!

The restaurant had some people dining in but they were not overly packed. Initially our server was pleasant and attentive. I got a blood orange sparkling water. It was ok. I ordered the whipped ricotta for an appetizer to share and a burger with fries for my entree. The whipped ricotta was ok. It would taste better with some sort of seasoning in it. My fries were served hot but needed some salt. I asked for my burger to be cooked well done but I was brought a burnt burger. I took one bite but it was too overcooked. I then requested that my server have my burger be cooked medium well so I didn't get another burnt burger. When my burger was brought back out, our server had me cut into my burger to make sure it was to my liking. The preparation was better but it was bland and tasted like there wasn't any seasoning on it. After this our server wasn't as attentive anymore. For dessert we got the donuts. They were served warm and I enjoyed them with the cherry sauce. I did not like the chocolate sauce that was served with the donuts.

What prevents this restaurant from being "S Tier" is that there's nothing unique or exceptional about the restaurant. It is exactly what you'd expect but nothing more. Parking was easy with the parking garage nearby. I would certainly return and recommend to others.
