Found this place impromptu when I was in the area. After checking the Yelp reviews, we decided to…read moregive this place a try. The location is a bit smaller than I anticipated. Seating includes high top tables and a bar area. The bartender, who was also the waiter, greeted us in a timely fashion and welcomed us to One Nine. Upon looking at the table signage, we realized it was Happy Hour. There is nothing like a good Happy Hour. We order d the half off chicken wings. The wings slapped! Just the right amount of sauce and crispiness. I plan to go back to One Nine just for the wings. You will not be disappointed. We also ordered the One Nine burger with the side winder fries and onion rings. Also, delicious! For a first visit, One Nine was on point!

Bottom line: The One Nine served up a good burger for lunch on this visit after a bit of a wait…read moreuntil the kitchen got going after Sunday opening. The to-go quesadilla was also good as well, even at home warmed up. Great friendly service in a nice pub/bar atmosphere. I enjoyed this visit. The Deets: Looking around for a Sunday lunchtime burger, I went over to check out The One Nine after seeing them on the AAdvantage Dining Program site (American Airlines dining program site). I got there just as the door opened and walked into a pretty nice standard pub type of setup. Since they had just opened up, they were not ready to take my order yet and would need 15 minutes or so for setup, so I enjoyed my soda at the bar and looked over the menu during that wait time they needed. I decided to stay with my first thought and went with The One Nine Burger on their menu, described as a 6oz Certified Angus Beef patty that is served on soft toasted brioche bun w/lettuce, tomato, onion, & pickles and also choice of Cheddar, Swiss, American cheese as well. I chose their Sidewinder Fries as my side, no Cajun seasoning. This burger was a solid choice, I enjoyed it and it satisfied my burger urge for lunch well. The "animal sauce" on the side that owner/bartender Matt included was pretty tasty and glad he thought to include it. I wanted to nab something to enjoy later so I decided on getting their regular (not Cajun Dry Rub) Quesadilla to go (choice of chicken/beef). I had to bust into my to-go box to sample it while hot and enjoyed the quesadilla test bites also. It passed the "warm up and enjoy at home later" part of my day as well, I liked it. Throughout my visit, Matt was nice, helpful, and kept conversation going...good service. Despite the bit of a wait upon opening, The One Nine delivered a great lunch and would recommend visiting for a solid bar/pub menu and atmosphere.

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.

Great ambience, great location and wonderful outdoor seating with cornhole and several TVs…read moreaccessible. 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.

We tried My Way Tavern for lunch on a spring-like Saturday. Being relatively close to NCSU and a…read moreblock over from Glenwood South, it definitely has a college sports bar vibe. There were lots of dogs present in the covered outdoor seating, including one sitting at the table with its humans. I tried the Freedom Dip, which was really just a French Dip served with French Onion Soup instead of au jus. It came with a very generous serving of roast beef and was served warm with melted cheese. The sandwich was good, although I think the French Onion Soup really didn't go very well; serving it with au jus would have been a better fit. My dining companion tried the The Bogart, basically a marinated chicken breast sandwich. Like my sandwich, the serving size was very generous. She rated it as good but not exceptional. Both of us thought the house-made potato chips were good, but felt that some of the chips weren't thoroughly cooked. Our server was having a bad day and complained about the workload. She explained that if they had enough people working, she would have done a better job taking care of us. For what it is, My Way Tavern is good. If the service had been a bit better, it would have earned a 4-star review.

I went for lunch with a friend on a very cold Tuesday in January. I looked through the flip card…read moretable tent and noticed that the January special is Shrimp and Grits. It sounded hearty and perfect for a cold January day, so I ordered it. The Shrimp and Grits dish consists of shrimp and andouille sausage in a low country gravy over creamy grits. The dish was perfectly spiced--not too hot, just the right balance of heat and flavor. The shrimp were tender, and the smoky andouille sausage added just the right kick. Coupled with the Lowcountry gravy, the shrimp, andouille, and creamy grits came together beautifully, making this a deeply satisfying dish, full of Southern soul. I paired this with a cranberry and club--perfectly made, with the tart juice blending seamlessly with the soda. My friend had the Carolina Dog, at my recommendation (I've had this all-beef Old North State masterpiece here before) and thought it was delicious. My receipt said that Party was my server--maybe Patty, maybe Party--but all I know is that she was great. She was nice, friendly, a great conversationalist, attentive, and a pleasure. It was very cold outside, but our booth was very warm and comfortable. Every time I come, I notice something new--today it was the Chelsea banner on the ceiling. This is a great bar and grill with a warm, fitting atmosphere. Another very fine experience and yet another reason to return.

Stopped by Dram & Draught for a cocktail while visiting Raleigh on a quiet Saturday afternoon, and…read moreI'm glad we did. Right when I walked in, the vibe hit. Classy but chill, the kind of place that feels welcoming whether you're on a solo drink mission or meeting up with friends. The space isn't loud or chaotic, which made it perfect for a relaxed drink and conversation. It felt like a local hidden gem rather than a tourist trap, and that's always a plus when you're exploring a new city. The service was great from start to finish. The bartenders were friendly, attentive, and genuinely seemed to enjoy what they do! They gave recommendations, and took the time to chat and help them pick something perfect. Of course, I had to go with the espresso martini, because if a spot has it on the menu, I'm trying it. And wow, this one was good. Smooth, balanced, and truly the kind of cocktail that makes you forget you're basically drinking dessert. Not too sweet, with that rich coffee flavor front and center. Easily one of the better espresso martinis I've had in a while. Even though it was a quiet afternoon, the energy didn't feel slow or empty, just comfortable. It was obvious this place would be equally great on a livelier night, too. This is definitely a great cocktail bar that's worth a stop if you're in Raleigh. Friendly bartenders, excellent drinks, and a vibe that makes you want to stay a little longer. I'll definitely be back next time I'm in town!
