    Thursday night trivia was so much fun here! My friends and I sat inside but there was outdoor seating too. The music / sound stayed at a decent volume all night and my teammates and I didn't have to shout to hear each other - which I much appreciated. The bartenders were also really nice and patient, and I ended up really liking the cider that I got. They seem to host a lot of cool events throughout the week so I will have to come back soon!

    Sour flight!
    Hayley P.

    It's been a minute since I've been to Raleigh Brewing. I used to visit more when I was in college. Came this time for a friend's birthday. There was already a Galentine's Market going on featuring some stalls from local women-owned businesses. Then at 7 they had karaoke. I think they do it every Saturday evening. Lots of participation. It was fun! I first got a flight because I wanted to sample the sours they had and found my favorite to be the Pineapple Upside Down Passion - if you're into sours, then I recommend a try. Special mention for the strawberry shortcake sour too. We enjoyed our time here. Beer price is about what you'll find at any brewery in Raleigh.

    Great place to relax and enjoy a beer. We stopped by on a Saturday. Parking is limiting, but we were able to find a spot. They promote social distancing, face masks are required, hand sanitizer is available, and they have flip cards to indicate clean and dirty tables. After waiting in line we ordered two beers from the friendly bartender. She informed us that we could only taste samples at a table. We decided against the sampling to make things easier and purchased the BBA Toll ($10) and Belltower ($5.50). We enjoyed both. The BBA Toll was incredibly strong and packed with flavor. It seemed pricy, but it's two beers in one. Keep in mind if you open a tab, that you will have to get back in line in order to close it. The line can get long, but moves at a reasonable pace. We had a good experience and would recommend this brewery to others!

    This brewery is slightly hidden, but it's basically across the street from Meredith College. We dropped in quickly to fill some time before meeting friends for dinner elsewhere. They have expanded their outdoor area to include more covered tables. My boyfriend had the W^2 , a blood orange wheat and I had a peach session IPA. If we had more time I would have liked to try more of their beers. I'd like to go back!

    Dog Halloween event

    We have been here twice and had a great experience each time! We love going to breweries with our little dogs, it's very pet friendly here. You can bring your pup inside, but there are also many tables outdoors. We were greeted warmly on our second visit by a friendly bartender that remembered us. The cost of the beers we ordered was $5 each, so not too bad. We came here for the dog Halloween event, it's nice they had a rescue organization there trying to re-home animals. We met some friendly individuals here who were also toting their furry friend. My only tiny gripe is that I wish they had more flavored fruity Hefeweizens, but that's a personal taste thing.

    They have a great selection of beer and they also have some wine and cider options. I love going because they're dog friendly! On a hot day my pup and I can enjoy a drink inside. They also have some amazing food trucks that setup in their parking lot.

    Forever a Hell Yes Ma'am. RBC always has solid beers on tap and HYM is always a standout. I love their huge patio of seating which has made this a great pick for group gatherings. I have other breweries I prefer their beer offerings from but this is a solid hangout and location. Will be back!

    Honey Noble Pilsner
    Jeremy B.

    It's a cool spot to relax & grab a beer . I enjoyed the honey noble Pilsner. It had that very crisp & smooth taste I like. It's similar to the taste of a miller lite. This brewery has the usual setup with a food truck out front to feed us hungry patrons. This was my first visit & I'll be back for sure.

    This was my first time here and I was excited to try some North Carolina brewed beers. I enjoyed decided to build a flight of beers, and I enjoyed them! They come in a pretty unique NC shaped plate, and were easy to carry back to the table. I can't remember them all, but 2 of my favorites were Hell Yes Ma'am, and Raleigh Wood barrel aged ale. Their selection of beers is quite large. We came here to sit outside in the sun because of the big outdoor deck and parking lot space. It was pretty early in the afternoon, but when we were leaving a food truck pulled up. So, check the schedule if you want to eat. I recommend visiting this brewery!

    This restaurant pleasantly surprised me. I'm honestly not a huge Chinese food person, and when…read morepicking restaurants, it's usually not something I naturally gravitate toward. 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!

The service is always fun and i enjoy the open atmosphere. This Belgian-inspired brasserie continues to be one of my go-to destinations for great food, craft beer, and one of the best Painkillers in town. My must-order dish is always the crispy beer-battered pollock paired with their perfectly seasoned truffle fries. The fish is light, flaky, and fried to golden perfection, but the real star might be their housemade tartar sauce--it's absolutely addictive.

I've also been to the Durham location, check out the review if you want to know more. Panysaurus over all is a very cool place (either location) but they have drastically different vibes - which in my book is a good thing. The Raleigh location has a smaller footprint and doesn't have the same outdoor patio vibe. The dinning area is a bit small but turn around is quick and there is plenty of space to stand and socialize if you're just there for the beer. I really love Ponysaurus beer, their pilsner is nice but their kolsch is my favorite. The Raleigh location menu has lots to choose from, we had a margarita pizza with pepperoni, hummus and wings. I can't recall what was in the hummus but we practically licked the bowl and the wings were a big hit too - note the Durham menu is a bit scaled down but one thing that's consistent with both locations is the amount of pita that came with the hummus. There is nothing worse than getting a huge bowl of hummus and only a few pieces of hummus or chips. Both locations knocked it out of the park - plenty of WARM pita for everyone. Service was great, we did't wait long and the tables were turned over quickly. They use a mobile app for ordering food which makes ordering fast and efficient and the food is delivered to your table - which I must note came out very fast.

This…read morespot has the perfect laid-back vibe for a weekend meal, plus an unbeatable view of downtown Raleigh, seriously, if the weather's nice, try to sit on the patio! We had a 70 degree surprise January day while we were there, so we did just that. We started our brunch with a couple of drinks: a bloody mary and an iced coffee. The bloody mary had a nice kick. Just the right amount of spice without going overboard. The iced coffee was smooth, not bitter at all, and honestly a great pairing if you're not in the mood for booze. To start, we shared the Dill Pickle Pimento Cheese with ripple-cut fries. I'm a sucker for pimento cheese and this one was outstanding. The dill relish gave it a tangy, fresh twist that worked so well with the creamy cheese. Scoop it up with those crispy ripple fries and you're golden. It's a shareable appetizer, but honestly, I'd come back just for that. For my lunch, I had the Chicken Caesar Pita. This isn't your average Caesar wrap. It was tasty, I wasn't expecting the chicken to be pulled, but it was pull juicy, marinated chicken, tons of Tuscan kale for a hearty bite, and generous shavings of parmesan. The charred Caesar dressing brought it all together with that smoky, savory flavor. The pita bread held everything nicely without getting soggy, and the portion was just right: filling, but not overwhelming. Service was super friendly and paced perfectly, not rushed, but never left waiting. Menu options looked creative and inclusive, with plenty for vegetarians and craft beer lovers, too. We had a great experience and I'll definitely be recommending it to friends who are going to Raleigh!
