    Buffalo chicken dip
    Haley B.

    This was my first time coming to Drive Shack and it was for a birthday party. Golf was fun but the service was terrible. Girl in glasses got our drink order and then never came back even after saying she'd be back for our food order. Every time we needed a refill or more food we'd have to hunt her down. The buffalo chicken dip was awful but the chips that came with it were good. The margherita pizza was absolutely fantastic. Overall I had an okay time and I might be back.

    We swung by drive shack to end my friend's birthday night. We reserved a lane for 2 hrs for the 5 of us. We unfortunately couldn't get the 2nd floor and had to play from the first floor even with a prior reservation which was disappointing. Nevertheless, we did have fun. The service was slow as the server took a long time to take our orders. The prices are reasonable for food and drinks though. Not sure if I will visit again.

    Lots of fun here! They have the trackman so you can login to an existing account or make one to track your hits. Three levels and there are some small arcade games indoor. You pay per bay for the time you want. Food and drinks available. There are practice hits or games that you can do with your group. Diego was awesome!! Thank you so much for helping us during our time here!

    Leaving with an hour and 22 minutes left in the system.

    Highly unprofessional. I'm from NYC and never been treated this way back home. I came to visit my family and they suggested going to Drive Shack. This would have been our second time. Our waiter, Claire, came over to check our ID's....no problem. 5 minutes later, Lucas comes over to check our ID's. Mind you, it's 5 of us, he starts bending all 5 of our ID's...Weird but we have nothing to hide. We're all over 21 and so far have been respectful. He leaves, we continue playing our game. 5 minutes later, Lucas returns and tells us unfortunately due to "previous incidents", he doesn't trust that our ID's are real. We immediately ask him the reasoning why and all he can tell us is that it doesn't seem like our ID's are real. 2 of us are from out of state so ofc we dont have North Carolina ID's but again....we are over 21 and have nothing to hide. How can we trust one guy to say that all 5 of our ID's are fake?!? There was no scanner and no proper system to authenticate. We tell him it's unprofessional to not even have a scanner to check our ID's, we'd like a refund and to speak to the manager, he tells us that the GM is "swamped" and won't come out to talk to us. We first spoke to Lucas, then manager Jackson then finally, after 30 minutes, GM Sean came out to talk to us. It felt discriminatory and quite frankly seemed like we had to coerce an apology out of all 3 employees. Is this how you do business at Drive Shack? Unprofessional and won't be back. Do not waste your money or time!!!!!

    Came here for the first time, this place is near identical to TopGolf. We had to wait almost an hour and a half for our bay. It may have been weather related as to why this place was so busy. Overall the experience was decent, but the service for foot and drink needed a little more attention. When our food came out, only three of our four orders came out. We had to wait nearly another 20 minutes for an overcooked burger to come out. Plus the server never brought utensils for us so our food was getting cold while we had to wait for basic needs. Besides 15 extra credit minutes given to us by our waiter no further credit was offered for the mishaps. Not sure if this is poor communication or the workers being over worked and unable to keep up. The clubs seem a little on the low end, the drive grip was slippery and difficult to feel you had control while swinging. I'd come back but hope for a better experience next time.

    Driving range with targets for multiple games.

    Another 5 star for Drive Shack. Great time again, excellent service. The attendees are friendly and attentive to your needs. The golf balls are round.

    Plenty of parking

    I've been here a couple times in the last few months and we always have a great time. It's best to have a reservation but you can absolutely just walk in. The longest we've waited is 10-15 minutes, and they'll text you when your bay is ready so you can spend that time wandering around or getting a drink at the bar. The wait staff will come by frequently to take your order and bring snacks and drinks directly to your table. They have a decent selection and although it's not gourmet food, we've always found it tasty while golfing. We've mostly lucked out, but it can be tough if you're bay is at the edge of the range simply because the ball trackers don't work 100% of the time at the edges. Overall it is a great place to come for an hour or two of fun, but it can get expensive quickly so plan accordingly.

    Ask the Community - Drive Shack

    Is it possible to have separate space to dine or celebrate an occasion inside or on the rooftop outside of our Bay time?

    Is this fun for a 6 year old?

    Its pretty fun for all ages. As long as your child is able to hit golf ball or swing a golf club then this place is perfect. You can being the whole family and have some fun family friendly competition!

    Should we eat during our bay time?

    Yes the food their is pretty good and the servers are very friendly so ask question about the items and they’ll be more than happy to let you know!

    Are there heaters in the bay? I was planning on going tomorrow but I'm worried it'll be too cold.

    Yes! There are overhead heaters with a control. Last time we went, we had to ask the people in the bay next door to turn it on for us

    A group of 4-6 of us are planning on going to Drive Shack on this upcoming Saturday around 6 or 7.....what type of wait time are we talking?

    i'd get there at least 45 minutes earlier than your anticipated time. especially if you are looking to play on the upper deck. To kill the extra time, they have a great bar on the 3rd floor, as well as inside games

    What are the bay prices?

    Open to 1 p.m. - $25/bay 1 p.m. - 5 p.m. - $35/bay 5 p.m. - close - $45/bay… Read more

The burger was good. I enjoyed the pretzel bun and the sauce on the burger. I didn't enjoy the salad as they use arugula which is an odd choice for a Caesar salad. It didn't pair well. I tried a wing and did not enjoy the sauce. I had a whiskey sour as my drink and enjoyed it. First time having one of those in a plastic cup, but it did taste good. It is a true sports bar with lots of TVs around. It wasn't loud as their wasn't any games on but lots of hockey fans around. The service was fine. Not a long wait and attentive enough.

It's excellent, juicy, well-executed, and easily the best thing on the menu. If you're going to Brus, this is the order. That said, after the burger, the menu drops off a bit. The rest of the offerings are fine, but nothing else really competes with how strong the burger is. Because of that, it feels more like a place you go for a specific item rather than to explore the whole menu. It is very convenient since it next to Lenovo Center / Carter Finley Stadium. The atmosphere is relaxed and welcoming, making it a good spot to grab a drink and a reliable meal. Not everything is a home run, but the burger is strong enough to keep it comfortably at four stars as well as the extensive draft beer list.

Reid answered all our questions and he was very knowledge about the menu. Reid gave us plenty of time to look over the menu, when we were ready to order he appeared took our food orders. My wife ordered the Grilled Chicken Sandwich with Fries. I ordered the Crispy Chicken Sandwich with Sweet Potato Fries. The food was delicious!!! For dessert we got Key Lime Pie.

Located across from NC State's campus, it's the kind of spot where locals, students, alumni, and first-time visitors all seem to blend together naturally. It's appearance in the baseball classic Bull Durham was my main draw to this place. And it adds another layer to its charm and history. What makes this place special isn't any one thing, it's everything. You can easily lose an entire afternoon here watching a game, having a few drinks, and talking with whoever happens to be sitting nearby. In a world full of polished sports bars and corporate concepts, Mitch's feels authentic, lived-in, and uniquely Raleigh. Exactly the kind of tavern every town wishes it had.

With its aged-brick facade and wonderful old-world decor, Mitch's could easily be mistaken for a historic tavern in Boston or Greenwich Village, but the institution has only been in business since 1974. Movie nerds will recognize Mitch's as the spot where Kevin Costner, Susan Sarandon and Tim Robbins meet for beers in the baseball comedy 'Bull Durham,' while Wolfpack alum will likely remember it as the spot where they celebrated dozens of basketball wins, birthday bashes and end-of-semester parties during their time at NC State. The beer list is strong, the service terrific and the food delicious -- especially the famous Reuben sandwich. So drop by, grab a table, and enjoy one of the best pub experiences North Carolina has to offer.

Some of the prices can be kind of high. For instance, $18 or $19 for a dozen wings, but they are large and of very good quality. I went with the chargrilled, so you expect a little burn on them. I liked them, but the bleu cheese went a long way to balancing out the flavor of the rub. And they do offer different food and drink specials each day, so check the boards in the restaurant, since the website isn't kept very up to date. They do offer a good variety of draft beers. Not the largest amount, but they did feature some quality crafts. And I give them credit, even at 5 pm on a football Sunday, the men's room was kept pretty clean!

It also has far less signs of what you can and can't do. Also unlike downtown, there is plenty of parking. They have two levels - and while it does fill up quite a bit, I haven't had a hard time finding space, even getting there later than anticipated on Sundays for the 1PM game. The staff is friendly, they get refills out quickly, and will help you find the TV you want if it takes you a minute to find your game. The food is OK. It's the same menu as downtown, but for whatever reason I don't like it as much here. The sliders and wings are typically my go-to. I straight up did not like the cheesesteak I had here once, it was bland and kind of tough. I've hadn't tried again though, so it's possible that was a one time deal. I do see lots of people order them. They have lots of very good and very dangerous speciality shots on the menu. Their website says that as of February 2026, Woody's Sports Tavern & Grill in Cary and Morrisville have separated from the downtown location.
