    Really neat place with a lot of seating- indoor/outdoor seating with a TON of beers and ciders on tap. Each floor will have a different set of options so you have to walk up and down it to find the one you're looking for. Triple Jam is the best for me. I was a little surprised to find that one glass of Triple Jam was about $8- not great pricing in my opinion. The food is also pretty pricey but tasty. They ended up being out of multiple food items (one being all pizza) on a Saturday so not sure why but was disappointed. The cheesy fries with pork belly were AMAZING but still like $12 Parking is a huge hassle anywhere on Glenwood- we ubered to avoid the frustration, especially on a weekend They need to fix the outlet in the women's bathroom- water and electricity had me worried to ever use the hand dryer. Can't be safe. Overall a good visit occasionally but a pricey one for some beers but amazing options.

    If you love wings, the dry rub are the best I have ever had!!!! (The fries are very salty...so beware if you aren't a salt lover) I give this place a 5 star for the atmosphere, plethora of beer options, and a place to really chill with whoever you are with. The vines, trees and lushness that surrounds and is entwined throughout makes this place extra unique.

    We came for the drag brunch event, excited for a fun show and good food--but unfortunately, the experience was disappointing overall. The service and food were the biggest letdowns. Our original server was kind and attentive, and the drinks we did get were delicious. But right before the show started, she told us she had to go bartend downstairs and closed out our tab, saying another server would take over. No one ever did. We waited 45+ minutes for a pretzel and cheese fries, and I had to go downstairs just to get a status update on our food. When it finally arrived, the fries were not made according to the menu description--they were missing the pork belly and ranch, and were topped with thick, clumpy cheese sauce. I brought them to the bar, and the bartender said she'd have them fixed. What came back was cold pork belly bites on top, a little more of the same clumpy cheese, and still no ranch. No one checked on us for the rest of the brunch event, and we would've gladly ordered another round--but we were never given the opportunity. The drag performers themselves were fantastic--talented, vibrant, and so much fun to watch. The only downside was the layout, which split the audience into two disconnected sections. I'd love to see this event held in the courtyard next time so the queens can interact more easily with the whole crowd.

    How can you not get good vibes walking into a three story building with 400+ tap beers from local micro brews to world wide brewers! Brought some friends from out of Town who were impressed. We hit the local NC beer den on first floor. The bar tender was very helpful matching our preferred styles/taste with our three different desires. Look at my picture of only one wall of taps. We retired to back of facility where they have lots of seating, a couple more small bars, several cornhole boards, a miniture golf coarse, several television monitors. We had several beers and played a few matches of cornhole and called it an afternoon. We were lucky to be there in afternoon as there was no problem finding parking.

    My friend and I went here last week and the food and service were outstanding! I would recommend this place every time!

    I played miniature golf at RBG's new "Hot Shots" 18 hole miniature golf course out back last week. I had two buddies in town for a river rafting trip up in WV. We had a great time and had the RBG's delicious tavern burgers. I highly recommend this place. If you can't find a beer you like at the RBG, perhaps you just don't like beer. Try one of the ciders!

    I was out and about hanging with hubby and his brother, one of our stops was Raleigh Beer Garden. We walked around back to check out their outdoor patio. It was a bit hot so we decided to sit inside. We looked over their extensive beer menu and I ordered a flight, my go-to. -Guava Guapo - really good IPA, slight guava flavor, on the tart/tangy side. -Caprese Pizza - Italian Pilsner. Kind of citrusy, light. -Boat Soda - key lime cream ale, my favorite of the bunch. Smooth, refreshing, great summer beer. -Southern Basil - farmhouse ale. My least favorite of the bunch. It was too bitter for my taste. I tried an amber that Hubby ordered, it was smooth, drinkable and very tasty. I would definitely return to Raleigh Beer Garden. The number of beer options was impressive, lots of different styles to choose from.

    Food was fabulous, the beer selection would satisfy anyone, and service was great! There really is no downside to here, and I cannot wait to come back. I especially loved seeing the bar area with ALL the taps! And they even had a window into their keg room! Just amazing!

    Raleigh Beer Garden is a lively multi-level spot with a massive beer selection and a fun, energetic atmosphere that's great for groups and anyone who wants a true bar vibe. The outdoor seating is one of the best parts -- the patio and garden area give you a nice break from the hustle inside and it's a great place to hang out when the weather is good. On busy nights it does get loud and crowded, and service can slow down, which is pretty normal for a place this popular. The main downside is the bathrooms -- they aren't always the cleanest during peak hours and could definitely be better. Overall, it's a solid place to grab drinks with friends, especially if you can snag a table outside.

    I'm feeling heated right now but I'll save it to the end. The end bumped me from 3.8 to a 8.5. Stick with me. We arrived shortly after opening. I checked in with the hostess, letting her know we had our dog in tow and she couldn't have been more gracious. She let us pick our table (really well covered space and very clean) and said she'd be right back with a bowl of water for the pup. She was really charming. 5 stars. Our server was a bit less experienced and probably 3 stars. The person expediting the orders was definitely 5 stars but apparently no one cares to consider this when rating. I'll explain these stars but don't worry. They'll come back to the story later. We ordered two burgers: the bacon & bleu burger and the jalapeno cheddar "smash" burger. My husband *loved* his burger. My smash burger was, indeed, a "smash burger". The code here is the ". It was a "smash-like" burger. It definitely had a char grill flavor but lacked the crispy, fatty flavor I associate with a smash burger. I asked for the jalapeno mayo on the side 'cause you never know how spicy those spicy's can get. It was super mild. It could have benefitted with some acidity like pickles or mustard. So my burger was 3 stars & hubs was 4 stars. Overall 3.5 Ketchup wasn't on the table so we asked for it because...fries. :) Their fries are skinny with salt & pepper. I liked 'em but they did need ketchup, lol. Here's where we start using some math. Right now, we have = 5+3+3.5+=3.8 Then where I tip the scales. The table next to us had two dogs. Each dog had bowls of water provided by the hostess. But as the expeditor brought out a platter full of food for 6 adults and 2 kids, one of the dogs went for the water. Tripped the food expeditor, who kept kept it all pretty much under control except for a one spilled plate. She couldn't have been more apologetic even though it wasn't her fault. She comped an empty beer plus food items, kept apologizing and it made me kinda' angry none of them told her "it's okay, it wasn't your fault". We're nearly into the Olympics so I'm keeping this competitive. Prior, we were sitting at an overall score of 3.8. That woman's heroics was a solid 5 stars. Now we're at an 8.5. But that doesn't exist here on Yelp. So now I'm adjusting my 3.8 rating to a 5 rating. Overall, when I read reviews, most of the lowest rated are related to service. We couldn't have had better service. My only (small, singular) gripe is: they have a pet menu but it didn't find it's way to our table. The other is: for a 300+ taps bar, there was no beer menu. My husband asked for a pilsner and I guess we got one but we're not sure, lol. Don't let the mediocre score scare you off.

    Wow! I said I'd come back but I didn't realize it had been 8 years!…read more My husband Dan H and I had a great lunch with some friends today. We all shared an order of fries for the table, which were amazing. Then I got the grain bowl with shrimp, and everything was perfectly prepared and delicious. My husband enjoyed his biscuits and gravy with fried chicken- so tender and decedent. Our friends enjoyed their meal, too, and enjoyed the apple custard for dessert. The mocktails were also delicious- I loved one with hibiscus and ginger. So nice to have a bunch of mocktail options! The ambiance was just as great as it was 8 years ago- spacious and light. The server was great, and let us linger for a few hours without hovering. Hope to be back sooner than another 8 years from now!

    If bourbon and whiskey choices were a personality trait, The Whiskey Kitchen would definitely have…read morecommitment issues...because the selection is massive. Seriously, if you can't find a pour you like here, you may just need water instead. Started with the biscuits topped with crackling and house-made preserves, and honestly, that combo alone made me question why I don't eat more biscuits in life. Sweet, salty, buttery chaos in the best way. For the main, I went with the pork chop and greens. The chop leaned a little overcooked for me personally, but the sauce helped bring things back together and added good flavor. The greens had a nice little kick of heat, but I kept waiting for that deep smoky ham hock flavor to show up like an old Southern grandma entering the kitchen... and it never quite arrived. Overall though? Still a solid meal, strong whiskey program, cool atmosphere, and definitely worth checking out if you're in Raleigh looking for a bourbon-forward dinner spot. Travelin_Broke approved with a slight side-eye from the greens.

I was actually a little nervous going in because certain Chinese dishes tend to upset my stomach, so I tried to avoid some of the heavier noodle and chicken dishes that normally do that to me. Honestly, I think that was the best decision because I thoroughly enjoyed my meal and felt completely fine afterwards. I started with the crab rangoons, which were perfectly creamy on the inside and crispy on the outside -- absolutely delicious. Then I tried the pork-filled bao buns, which was my first time ever having them, and I was pleasantly surprised by how much I enjoyed them too. Everyone else at our table seemed to really enjoy their food as well. I genuinely didn't hear a single complaint. We also ordered some drinks that were delicious, and both our server and the rest of the staff were absolutely fantastic and very welcoming throughout the night. The atmosphere and vibes inside are honestly one of the coolest parts of the experience. It somehow feels like a mix between a brewery, a florist, a bookstore, and a Chinese restaurant all at once. It's such an interesting and unique space that doesn't really feel like anywhere else. Overall, this was a great experience, and I would absolutely come back to try more items on the menu.

    This is a one stop shop, brewery, flower shop, library/book store and dim sum restaurant!…read more The food. Really really good dim sum. I stopped in just a they were opening on a Friday and thank goodness I showed up when I did, this place gets packed quick and you should book a reservation to be on the safe side. I was most excited about the duck egg rolls but ended up being my least favorite not because they were slightly on the dry side. Flavor was good, and the hoisin honey sauce really helped! The seafood dumplings were second best, stuffed full. The soup based was amazing and it also came with some bread for dipping in the leftover sauce. The pork and chive shumai were my favorite! A little bit bigger than bit sized but worth the mouth full! Absolutely would recommend. I'll 100% be back for more food. The bar side looked to be more casual, the dinning room was full of high tea attire so I did feel a little under dressed, thought it would be slightly more casual. They have the cutest library with free books to read but only while you dine in. The flower and book shop are in the middle of the space. Super cute, limited options but great for a last minute bouquet!

Not much else for food here from what I can tell, so don't plan on having your meal here. I brought two teenage boys and we hung out for almost 2 hours- I think I spent about 40 bucks including tokens and a couple of drinks for myself. I really liked the street art vibe, especially all of the murals and the Instagram wall. They've done a great job with ambiance! The outdoor patio adds a lot of additional chill space. When we were there they didn't have a band playing, but I think they do often. I almost want to give it 5 stars, but several of the games were not working properly and ate our tokens. That say you can grab someone to fix them, but nobody appeared available, and I wouldn't have wanted to bother them multiple times anyhow... Would be great if they were proactively checking and fixing them. More snacks would be great too! Other than that it was a really great experience, I would definitely go back.
