This is a whiskey lover's dream and one of Raleigh's most unique drinking destinations. It's quite…read moreliterally underground as it's in a basement. With little signage the space feels like a natural speakeasy. It's unpolished enough to feel a little sleazy, yet polished enough to never feel dirty. In other words, it has character, and plenty of it. The bartenders were fantastic: knowledgeable, talented, and happy to chat about the spirits behind the bar. Whether you're a serious whiskey enthusiast or just looking for a well-made cocktail, you're in good hands. Being open later than most Raleigh bars makes Foundation one of the city's go-to late-night options, but that shouldn't overshadow what it really is........a great bar at any hour. The atmosphere, the drinks, and the people behind the bar make this a place worth seeking out whether it's your first stop of the evening or your last.

Came here before dinner and had a great time. Even though it's a speakeasy, it was pretty easy to…read morefind. The menu leans heavily toward whiskey and bourbon, with lots of solid options. I had their basil smash, which was refreshing, and the Manhattan--bold with a warm, spicy profile. Pleasant surprise to see Michter's as the special of the night, and it was excellent with smooth caramel and vanilla notes. Service started off a little hands-off since we ordered at the bar, but picked up toward the end when staff came by to check in. Drinks were high quality without being overpriced, and the vibe is relaxed--not at all pretentious. You can definitely come casual. If we had more time, we would've stayed longer or come back for another round.

So I took one of the few seats left at the bar on a Tuesday night, and this really feels like the local neighborhood hang where people know each other. People of all kinds can feel welcome in there. They have drink specials every night, and I took advantage of several High Lifes. It was almost like I was living in the midwest again. I started with garlic parmesan wings. The menu said 6, but I got 8, all drums, which I had no problem with at all! Bleu cheese or ranch are added for free. One of the bigger wings had a little bit of pink though, that's not great. Then I had a Usinger's brat with peppers, onions on a toasted roll with a side of spicy mustard. Just 9 bucks. For my side, I got super thick onion rings with some horseradish sauce. Well worth the extra $2.75! The bartenders kept my water glass full. Even though the bar was quite packed, they seemed to do a very good job of keeping everything organized. It's a fun vibe for sure!

Got my standard glass of bubbles and enjoyed the atmosphere, karaoke, and tinkering on the piano. This is next to the now closed Runologie.

I'd prefer to be indoors especially as it gets closer to summer but if you want to take a break and go outside you can which is nice. The bartenders were fast and friendly. Beggars Banquet, a Rolling Stones tribute band, played for three hours and what a show! The music was great, the audience was dancing and singing along, the musicians were so skilled and so lively -- they came down off the stage while performing to interact with the crowd. I had a blast! I just feel awful that I didn't plan ahead and bring more cash. I would have liked to leave a better tip for the band. They were extraordinarily good and so generous with their energy and talent. I will definitely be watching for more Beggars Banquet shows and other concerts and events at the Tap Yard!

Raleigh, they've transformed a cavernous garage into a casual bar offering 85" widescreens showing the latest games whether it's football or futbol! Beers on tap, cocktails, food truck outside, the whole scene is pretty casual. But in back there's another larger space where they plan on bringing live music and other activities. Curious to see where this place goes, they just opened this weekend so be patient.

Tucked into Raleigh's cobblestoned memory lane, this bar feels like the kind of place you stumble…read moreupon after wandering past brick streets, vintage shop windows, and the faint echo of history. Inside, it's a whole different story. It's the Platonic ideal of a sports bar: walls plastered with TVs all screaming different games, tables that seem to have been ordered straight from the 'Standard Pub Starter Kit,' and a menu where the wings and fries are always reliable but the cocktail list is more suggestion than promise. Still, what they lack in vermouth or fresh herbs, they are fortunate the bartenders make up for in charm, speed, and the kind of easy banter that keeps you ordering another round. Come for the wall-to-wall TVs and wings that don't miss, stay because the bartenders somehow make you forget they're out of half the cocktail ingredients. It's the kind of sports bar where the atmosphere scores even when your team doesn't. Cheers!

We were in the neighborhood walking around on an on again, off again rainy Saturday day late…read moreafternoon. We stopped at The Station for drinks and appetizers. We sat right away at the bar, but it took forever for someone to take our order. Once we ordered the drinks, they came in a semi decent amount of time, but the food took forever, I almost said never mind, but it was hard to find someone to tell. We sat at the outside bar and it wasn't crowded, maybe it was inside. The drinks were refreshing, the mussels were delicious, but the fries were flimsy and tasteless. I'd go back and try other menu items for sure.

Plush couches and deep leather chairs form little islands of comfort, perfect for sinking into a conversation that doesn't need to end soon. Along the walls, humidors stand like treasure chests, keeping their cigars in stately silence. Vintage wood glows everywhere--from the bar's polished surface to the beams above--each grain steeped in quiet history. Overhead, TVs flicker with old games and new ones alike, while dart boards wait nearby for a little friendly competition between sips of bourbon and curls of smoke. The bartender slides the Old Fashioned across the bar with the precision of a man who's been doing it long enough to know that showmanship is for amateurs. No fancy garnish, no chatter--just the soft clink of glass meeting wood and a nod that says this'll do. Happiness here isn't loud or glittery--it's slow-burning and pleasantly lopsided, like a jazz tune played just slightly off the beat. It seeps in between sips and smoke rings, wrapping itself around you like the worn leather of the chair you've claimed for the night. It's the kind that finds you sitting still, glass half full, smoke curling upward like a satisfied sigh. Cheers!
