It feels like an old school filling station with the gas can lights and the cars on the wall. I took a seat at the bar, I probably was the first customer on the Wednesday. They have around two dozen beers on draft. The bartender let me try a pineapple habanero beer, though the heat was a lot stronger than the sweet. I ordered the triple All American burger with three 1/4 pound patties, cheese, comeback sauce, shredded lettuce, tomato, pickle, and I added grilled onion instead of diced onion. It came on a potato roll, always a good choice. The flavor of the burger was really good, and the burger was super messy. It's one of those that you don't dare put down because it's hard to pick back up again. Really good, maybe I'd add jalapeños next time. For my side, I went with cole slaw. It was creamy, but thankfully,not overly thick and heavy. Maybe a touch more vinegar would have helped balance it out. The Arnold Palmer was served in a plastic cup, a little unusual. The bartender did a great job keeping my beverage cups from running on empty. I would return to try a different beer and go for a burger again or even one of their chicken sandwiches. I saw I can get a triple chicken too!

We went for the dueling piano event they host out in the outdoor area and that was the highlight of the experience. Would 100% come back just for that. Nostalgic songs played in the musicians' unique arrangement. Downside was the indoor and outdoor area were connected so lots of flies were circling around but that's the price you gotta pay for some good music I guess.

There is construction going on around this growing part of the city so it will have more locals eventually. I believe they have several locations in the area.

I've had the pleasure of visiting Fortnight a few times in my life - which is saying something…read moreconsidering I've only been to the Raleigh area a few times. Still, I always seem to find myself at Fortnight. And their beer has always been delicious, with plenty of varieties to sip from either on a cold December day or a blazing hot spring afternoon. They also have a lovely beer garden and, at least when I've been there, a tasty food truck on site. Staff is friendly, with self-service ordering at the bar (the line can definitely get long sometimes). I gotta say, the beer isn't always as cold as I would hope it would be - could be I'm just used to a different beer temp vibe here in the PNW. One ale I recently tried I had to bring back to the counter as it was so warm I thought I'd accidentally been given a cask ale. Oddly, they weren't really apologetic about it and were happy to charge me for a different (colder) beer, even though I'd only taken a couple of sips from the ale. Not the biggest deal, but worth noting that you might want to ask for a sample before committing to a pint, if for no other reason than to verify it's being served at a temp you like.

Stopped by here recently and had an OK time…read more First, for parking, there was a primary lot as well as overflow parking. I went right after it opened so it was pretty empty during my visit, but there's a ton of seating (both indoor and outdoor!) and I can imagine it gets pretty busy at peak hours. I grabbed a 10 oz pour of the flagship IPA and hung out for a few minutes. Honestly, the beer was not my favorite (and didn't taste much like an IPA to me at least...) but I guess that's personal opinion :) The bartender was nice and the vibes were solid inside. Overall, there are a bunch of breweries in the Triangle, so I'm not sure I'd come back to this one as my first choice, but if a friend wanted to meet me here I wouldn't complain :)

It wasn't too busy at ~10:30 AM but judging from the number of people walking around, I'm sure it gets way busier at peak hours. Anyway, I ordered the steak salad for myself and it arrived promptly. It was really, really good! Steak was maybe not medium rare as requested, but it tasted great, and all of the components of the salad really worked together. The beer menu had good variety but it was a little early for me so I took a pass on that :) The server was attentive throughout my meal and did an excellent job. Overall, I really enjoyed Scratch and would definitely come back!
