    First floor view after entering from front door

    I've walked past this place countless times and have never even considered it until this day when my coworkers wanted to meet up and grab a bite. I'm not a huge beer drinker but was still impressed at the plethora of options (International beer on the 2nd floor, Domestic Beer on the first floor, and a separate liquor bar on the first floor as well). So if you are looking for a LOT OF BEER OPTIONS, this is a good place to start/try. I tried a flight of ciders because that's as close to beer as I would typically get (I've attempted to try so many with beer fest but I just can't get into it) and I couldn't choose what I wanted so I had the wonderful bartender select them for me. She provided amazing, friendly service because as indecisive as I can be, she was very patient. For a meal, I order the Jalapeño burger and it was delicious. The jalapeño is basically the sauce that gives the kick you're looking for, not actual jalapeños, and it comes with plenty of fries. Again, I left not a single crumb lol [[HIGHLIGHT]]This place is really cool inside and looks like something out of a fairytale with the trees growing through the restaurant. I love plants and nature so for me it was everything.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] I'd love to see it at night and check out how it's lit up, certain it looks beautiful!

    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) [[HIGHLIGHT]]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.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]The vines, trees and lushness that surrounds and is entwined throughout makes this place extra unique.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]]

    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.

    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.

    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!

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

    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!

    [[HIGHLIGHT]]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.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]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.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]On busy nights it does get loud and crowded, and service can slow down, which is pretty normal for a place this popular.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]The main downside is the bathrooms -- they aren't always the cleanest during peak hours and could definitely be better.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] 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.

My husband dined here several years ago, and…read moreevery time Raleigh comes up in conversation, he hyped this local gem up to me and said it was a must-visit whenever we had the chance. Well, I finally got to try Brewery Bhavana and it was indeed incredible. Definitely worth the hype. We met my coworker and her partner here for dinner, and I was grateful we had a reservation because this spot was poppin' on a Monday night! The dining room is huge, but the decor breaks things up a bit and makes your meal feel intimate. Everything is shareable, so I highly recommend visiting with fellow foodies who want to try a little bit of everything. Honestly the entire menu sounded amazing, and it was hard to choose! Thankfully our servers provided some excellent recommendations. The Pork Bao was probably my favorite bite of the night, and may very well have been the best Bao I've ever had. The Lap Cheung Fried Rice was also delicious, and I'm usually not a fried rice person! Also worth mentioning is the Lo Mein, which we ordered with chicken. We didn't stay for dessert, but all of their sweet offerings sounded incredible as well. I did try one of the beers they brew on-site, the Sow. It was light and sippable, and I appreciate their diverse beer and cocktail offerings. I can't wait to visit Raleigh again because this will be my first stop!

It typically gets pretty full on the weekends, but we were able to walk right in on a weekday and sit at the bar for dinner. The interior is sleek and modern, with a beautiful large marble bar. We got the Xiao Long Bao (soup dumplings), Lap Cheung Fried Rice, and Cold Sesame Noodles. All were excellent, but the sesame noodles were a stand out! Very flavorful and a refreshing dinner option for a hot day.

    My husband and I came here for brunch when we were first visiting Raleigh house-hunting. We decided…read moreto revisit for Mother's Day brunch this year. We showed up early with our 1.5 year old daughter and they were able to seat us immediately. The area felt spacious, although that could be due to the fact that it wasn't super packed inside. I ordered the short rib benedict, my husband got the chicken & waffle sandwich, and we ordered my daughter a side of the mac & cheese. What a delicious meal! The short rib was tender and flavorful, and sat on top of a biscuit (what's not to love here?!) - horseradish hollandaise was the perfect touch as the horseradish pairs nicely with the beef. The chicken & waffle sandwich was the best guilty pleasure! Waffle crisp on the outside and fluffy on the inside, chicken breaded and fried with a nice crunch, and a nice hot honey syrup to go alongside -- wish this had a little more heat. To our surprise, the mac & cheese side was a highlight too! It's hard to get a good mac n cheese, but this had such a rich, white cheese, slight funk flavor - delicious. Brunch at Parkside is delicious. Looking forward to trying dinner here soon.

We came in today with reasonable expectations after finding the restaurant online and seeing mostly positive reviews. We ordered several items to share as a family: broccoli cheddar soup, a French dip sandwich with green beans, and poutine fries. Unfortunately, the broccoli cheddar soup was very bland and lacked seasoning. We had a few bites and ended up leaving the rest. The French dip was the standout of the meal. While the meat itself was a bit dry, dipping it in the au jus made it the most enjoyable and edible item we ordered. The poutine fries were disappointing. They were very basic and didn't resemble what I would expect from poutine--more like prepackaged frozen fries that had been deep-fried. We didn't finish them and left most behind, though we still paid for them. Our child wouldn't eat any of the food, so we ordered the fried ravioli appetizer, hoping it would be similar to versions we've had elsewhere. Sadly, that was another letdown. Although we were told there was no breading, the texture suggested otherwise. This was the one item we did send back. I wouldn't recommend this location for anyone with food allergies or sensitivities, as much of the food appears to be made from frozen or prepackaged items. That said, our server was absolutely wonderful--the highlight of the visit. She was kind, attentive, kept our drinks refilled, and genuinely made us feel welcome. Her sweet demeanor and constant smile were honestly the reason we didn't complain more at the time. While I wouldn't return for the food, I might consider stopping by again strictly for drinks during a sporting event. Otherwise, this just wasn't the dining experience we were hoping for.
