    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!

    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.

    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!

    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.

    Wow, I was so surprised after trying Brewery Bhavana when we first moved here. When you arrive…read moreparking can be difficult in this area as the restaurant backs up to Moore Square. I'd recommend parking a few blocks away and walking if you are unable to find parking nearby. Walking into the restaurant you'll be transported to a modern brewery, bookstore, and flower shop. It feels chic, Belgian inspired, and upscale. To start I ordered a Vase IPA which was excellent. I then switched to cocktails and ordered the Black Sesame Old Fashioned (bourbon, black sesame, black walnut bitters), the Dionysus (pinot noir, raspberry lemon shrub, chambord, amaretto, lemon, rhubarb bitters), and an aviation (hendricks, luxardo, creme de violette, lemon). By far the Black Sesame Old Fashioned was my favorite and what a nice touch with cracker on top of the dish. For food we ordered the Gai Lan (Stir-fried Chinese broccoli with garlic and oyster sauce), the Peking Duck (Whole, barbecued, free-range duck served with steamed bao buns, cucumber, scallions, and hoisin-honey sauce), Sweet Soy Chicken (Scallions, bell peppers, and caramelized in our ginger soy sauce. Served with jasmine rice), the Lo Mein Noodles (Stir-fried noodles with julienned shiitake mushrooms, choy sum greens, soy sauce, and shrimp), seafood dumplings (Lobster, shrimp, and scallop dumplings served in garlic and black mushroom sauce with fried Youtiao doughnuts), Chicken Curry Bao (Steamed buns filled with spicy yellow chicken and vegetable curry), the Beef with Longhorn Peopers (Sautéed beef, ginger, and longhorn peppers with Shaoxing wine sauce. Served with jasmine rice), the Xiao Long Bao (Steamed crab and ground pork soup dumplings), Nasi Goreng Crab Fried Rice (Traditional Indonesian Chinese fried rice with blue crab meat, Nam Pla fish sauce, house made Nasi Goreng sauce, served in an egg crêpe), and the General Tso's Chicken (Crunchy, sweet, and tangy, Bhavana's General Tso comes with your choice of chicken or tofu tossed in our house-made General sauce and topped with sesame seeds. Served with jasmine rice). By far our favorite food items were the seafood dumplings (excellent flavor, Chinese donuts were so good, along with the flavor from the broth), and the shrimp lo mein noodles (cooked perfectly and the sauce was perfectly distributed). Definitely check out brewery bhavana if you are looking for excellent Chinese food in the Raleigh area. This is by far one of my favorite restaurants in the area.

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!

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. A few other standouts from our table included: Savory risotto topped with seared shrimp and blistered tomatoes The NRBC Juicy Burger loaded with onion straws and beer cheese Every dish was packed with flavor, and it's easy to see why this spot remains a local favorite. Whether you're stopping in for a craft beer, cocktails, or a hearty meal, this is a place that's always worth the visit.

The first thing we noticed as walked in was how warm the place was. They have an open kitchen which is generating heat. They didn't seem to have central AC. They did have one wall mounted AC which was nowhere enough to cool down the place during peak summer days. We almost decided to leave and go elsewhere but we sat down. We got the following: Grilled Caesar salad was pretty decent for what it was. Duck Poutine was quite underwhelming. It was pretty cheese fries with duck on it. Not quite the typical poutine that also has gravy on it. Blood Orange Crème Brulee was my favorite item of the three we had. You could taste the blood orange in the crème brulee which was amazing. The portion could have been a big larger. I was expecting it to be in a small coffee cup. I could have had another one easily. All in over an average experience. Not sure if I will go back!

Anyway - Pizzas are consistently good, come out quick, and new pizza toppings/flavors pop up every once in a while. I especially love their Wednesday night dinner specials - sometimes I'm not as much in the mood for pizza but they do things like chicken parm and pasta just as good. Service is like a mix of waitstaff and self serve but whenever we interact with anyone working there they're always super friendly and helpful. Like I said, just love this spot!

Of course, the craft beer selection is what gets you in the door, but don't overlook the kitchen. The atmosphere is relaxed, the service was friendly, and the food easily holds its own against many restaurants in Raleigh.
