The young man working was so accommodating and patient. We got all of our Brazilian favorites, and really enjoyed our dinner. We even got a nice little dessert at the end. Brazil was decked out all over the restaurant, that was nice TVs, and you do have to walk next-door to use the bathroom, but it's easy. I would most definitely go back there, if you're looking for Brazilian food in this area, this is the place to go !

Leaving the Museum of Life and Sciences' Science of Wine event last night, I will admit I was a…read morelittle star struck. What just happened, I thought to myself, as images of wine, cheese and tasty treats danced through my head. This was (*I think*) my fourth "After Hours" event at the Life and Science Museum, and by far the best. I learned some important tips attending this event: be ready to wait in line. These events are set up in a style where the vendors are all at tables and typically have conversations with each patron sampling their products. Lines usually move slowly. BUT [pro tip] you can jump from table to table! Most people wait in a long line as each patron has their interaction, leaving the following table sometimes completely empty, show some love and jump around! Second tip: as the night goes on, the event will become less crowded. But as the same time, it's important to show up on time because some activities must be signed up for and sign-ups might run out (grab a map when you check in and ask about any one-time activities). Third, take your time! These events are long for a reason, there's lot to see and do, don't rush yourself or feel overwhelmed by the long lines or crowds. I loved having the Wine and Design team at this event, it gave me a time to take a break from the lines (let them die out a little) and enjoy a little relaxed time (I painted a tiny hydrangea!) Now onto the vendors at this specific event: awesome! Although the pairing of wine to food was a little off at times, I feel that overall I was able to enjoy and try a huge variety of items including bread, cheese, mead, wine and chocolate. I loved the science experiments that were thrown in here and there along the way. I definitely didn't see everything, but you can't miss [in order of how I visited]: Starrlight Mead (their apple cider mead will make you re-think life choices), Southern Harvest Catering's artichoke dip (and super-taster science experiment), Escazu Artisan Chocolate's Pumpkin Seeds & Guajillo Chile chocolate bar and Southern Season's large array of wine, cheese, chocolates and meats (you really can't miss the Southern Season's table!!) And let's not forget Boulted Bread's fantastic toasted sesame seed bread, Chapel Hill Creamery and Boxcarr Handmade Cheese. Fair Game Beverage Company's peach wine and Chapel Hill Toffee. Oh and The Wine Feed (I could drink that Rose and Cava all night long!), not to mention The Little Dipper's dill and havarti cheese fondue which tasted like a crisp bottle of white! Throw in a little canned wine from Queen of Wines and some Sangria from Mystic Bourbon plus a little chemistry schooling on decanting vs. non decanting and your evening is made. Believe me, that just skims the surface. I got a fortune cookie from Lilly at the Yelp Table and it should've read, "you're in for the Yelp-tasticest evening of your wine and cheese loving-life!" Or something about having a fabulous night. What a great evening, highly recommend!

I always have a good time at the Museum of Life and Science's "adult after hours events". They…read moreusually have the events set up through the two stories of the main building, with local vendors, museum volunteers and employees at different booths and tables throughout. The Science of Sour event had everything from pickle tasting tables to local restaurants [Mixed Korean Bistro] passing out kimchee/sauerkraut samples to sourdough versus rye bread tastings [Boulted Bread] to build you own pickle derby cars. While full drinks are available for purchase, they also had a handful of beer/liquor vendors passing out samples: Haw River Farmhouse Ales, Bull City Burger & Brewery passing out a Golden Pickle ale, Mystic and Fair Game Beverage Co. handing out liquor samples and even a couple business with kombucha samplings. Joe Van Gogh was also passing out some iced coffee upstairs! In addition to the local business, there were lots of "science" stations: make your own sauerkraut workshop, a hands on station to see dough with gluten versus no gluten, and the Fermentophone was awesome! A multi-sensory installation in which an algorithmically generated musical composition is performed by LIVING cultures of bacteria and yeast! The after hours events are always laid out with lots of space for the large crowd that gathers. I do think the tickets for these events are a little steep for what you get [$25/non-members & $20/members]. It's convenient because you get a lot of information, but you also might find yourself trying to be sold products by some of the local vendors. Also, make sure you "plan" out your evening when you get to the event and check the handout they give you. They usually have special Q&A's or sign-up required activities, so you'll have to make sure you're on top of that. Overall, the after hours events remind me of a pop-up shop that you have to pay to get into BUT get the benefit of being guaranteed a tasting/testing of products. AND in addition to the local pop-up shops, you also get science "how-to" lessons on the subject being discussed. If this is your idea of a good night, then you'll love these events.

This Woody's is HUGE compared to the downtown Raleigh one. I've been here a bunch for football…read moregames, sadly, unlike its downtown cousin, it is not an Eagles bar. It also has far less signs of what you can and can't do. Also unlike downtown, there is plenty of parking. They have two levels - and while it does fill up quite a bit, I haven't had a hard time finding space, even getting there later than anticipated on Sundays for the 1PM game. The staff is friendly, they get refills out quickly, and will help you find the TV you want if it takes you a minute to find your game. The food is OK. It's the same menu as downtown, but for whatever reason I don't like it as much here. The sliders and wings are typically my go-to. I straight up did not like the cheesesteak I had here once, it was bland and kind of tough. I've hadn't tried again though, so it's possible that was a one time deal. I do see lots of people order them. They have lots of very good and very dangerous speciality shots on the menu. Their website says that as of February 2026, Woody's Sports Tavern & Grill in Cary and Morrisville have separated from the downtown location.

I am a bit bummed to have come to sit outside and not received table service for an hour -- we went inside to order drinks and had to flag a waiter down for food service as well as go inside for menus. I was additionally bummed to hear that in order to do two different sauces for a dozen wings, you have to pay a $4 up charge (essentially, you must pay for 6 wings separately in the flavor you desire rather than a dozen split to two flavours.) The staff is beyond friendly and happy to converse if they have time available. It does seem that with a full house table service will suffer, but I do see myself returning for the atmosphere for game night as the staff were nothing but kind, just seemed to be pressed on time.

I am pleased that the city of Raleigh has a family friendly, alcohol free event on New Year's Eve…read more Over the years of the event, they have excelled in making it an interactive event with a great variety of arts and entertainment. The kids event start in the mid afternoon, and include the full New Year;s Eve countdown treatment at 7pm (12 midnight on Greenwich Mean Time) with the acorn drop and fireworks display. Ever wanted to be in a parade? You have your chance with the people's procession. Lots of paper mache animal heads and shapes are made available for use in the parade, or be one of the many walking the huge puppet named Rhea down the parade route. New for this year was a phone app that made it much easier to see what activities where happening at any particular time. Do be aware this is a popular event and can get VERY crowded, especially at the main stage for both the 7pm and midnight acorn drops. Traffic and parking can be quite difficult, especially for those not used to downtown parking. I have been many times since this event started iver 25 years ago. I have always found it to be an enjoyable way to bring in the new year.
