We had our son's Rehearsal Dinner and Meet and Greet at The Glass Box. Though our son and his bride…read morelive in Raleigh, this was a long distance event for us. Planning couldn't have been easier- our coordinator was very easy to reach and always quick with an answer with any questions we had. The venue is charming and the roof top view is stunning. We chose to have a "Before They Say I Do BBQ" and the deck provided a nice space to set up stations for our caterer.The list of vendors provided by Empire Eats made providing linens and any items needed easy to set up. The only suggestions we would offer is know in advance that this is the top floor of The Stockroom. If there are 2 events scheduled, you'll be sharing the only elevator with the other venue. Loading and unloading prior and after the event can be a bit tricky. There is no designated area loading zone. Be sure to ask in advance for a cart and it will be provided.Also, if you're having a summer event, know that it can be very hot. When the door to the deck is open, it compromises the A/C and it can be a tad bit warm.

A friend of mine's boyfriend was the DJ for a Trap and paint event that I attended here. The space seems nice and I reviewed the rates online and it seems affordable. I would recommend this space if a friend or family member is looking for a space to use. No complaints about this particular event I attended. It's right on Fayetteville St where the parking is easier.

The Nest is one of my favorite places in Raleigh! I work remotely but want to be out of the house…read morewhen I'm at work, so I have been renting a dedicated desk here for over a year now and it has been well worth every penny. It's conveniently located in the heart of downtown. It's a 5 minute walk to a dozen restaurants. The space is beautiful and always immaculately maintained. It's well lit and has a great productive vibe. Wifi is reliable and fast. Coffee, espresso, soft drinks, beer and snacks are provided as well, for free. The place includes several large conference rooms, several smaller conference rooms and a few private call rooms. No matter what your need there is always a spot to get things done. The conference rooms all have dedicated TVs with teleconferencing features built in. There are ample outlets and power supplies for plugging in everywhere. Finally, the owner Michael is super accessible and has a great team. He and the team are always around helping members and folks renting the conference rooms and taking care of any issues that arise quickly. The space is also available as a rental for events in the evenings and they go above and beyond to re-arrange all the co-working furniture to make space for the events and then restore everything to where it was before the next morning. I'm so glad that I found this place when I went looking for co-working spots downtown and I feel lucky to be a member here. Highly recommended.

Montfort Hall, originally owned by William Montfort Boylan and changing hands several times since…read morehas been fully restored into one gorgeous boutique hotel and event space. The centerpiece of the house's interior is a rotunda supported by four Corinthian columns and lit by a stained glass window located on the roof. Walking into the foyer you cant help but embrace the timeless grace, where every corner whispers of history and a bygone era. There is a quiet serenity to the space, as if time slows just a little bit inside. The modern touch added to the old renovated mansion does come with a bit of a sharp, sterile elegance of a modern mansion. The Parlor is a great place to enjoy a delicious craft cocktail and even better, ADULTS ONLY! There are also many other lovely seating arrangements throughout the property, including outdoors, and a few even come with fire pits. Regardless of your intentions for visiting the Heights House, I am quite confident there will be no disappointments, unless they have a private event. Cheers!

The first thing to say about this is that you will be massively impressed at every turn with the…read morejob they have done in restoration, renovation, and design. Everything is lovely and though it is all modern and sleek, it still feels fitting for the original era of the house. The cocktail area takes up most of the main floor, with a stand-up bar just off the entryway with a few tables and then a larger lounging area with sofas and chairs just beyond. The drinks are exceptionally good, and the spirits menu is creative. They also offer a few small plates. There is plenty of paved parking immediately next to the hotel for guests only, so that is not a hassle as it can be at some B&B/inn-type establishments. At check-in, you are offered a complimentary glass of sparkling wine to set the tone. The rooms are comfortable, but I will say that the entry-level ones are quite small (which is apparent on the website), but for the rates charged there isn't even a place to sit and read a book other than the bed. There's one small, delicate wicker chair that would be for tying shoes or whatever, but not lounging. The bed is luxuriously dressed, and there is drawer space and a minifridge, but no closet -- hanging items can go on hooks by the door out in the open. The bathroom is spacious enough, with a broad sink and elegant tilework. The lighting fixtures throughout are nifty. I found the breakfast sort of average for this type of place. I came later on, so perhaps there is more earlier, but there were a few pastries, some hard-boiled eggs, and fruit when I arrived. There's also a fancy coffee-drink contraption, but those aren't my thing so I left that alone. It's a very easy walk across the Boylan Bridge and down a couple of blocks to the area of the Dillon with several restaurants, and the performing arts center is not far beyond that. Location-wise, there's plenty that's walkable but also more an easy drive away.

Thanks to Ron W., I was able to attend a sneak peak preview of Raleigh's newest VIP space, The…read moreVoodoo Room. The extra secret, private room is located upstairs in The Big Easy, down a back hallway through an ominous door labeled "staff only". This isn't a space that you can just walk into (now that you know where it's located), rather it's a private venue space, charging $300/6 hours on Fridays and Saturdays with a $500 minimum bar tab and $100/6 hours Sunday-Thursday with a $300 minimum bar tab. The small space includes a New Orleans voodoo theme complete with voodoo dolls and bare breasted fortune tellers (in photos). Your party is invited to enjoy the velvet couches and hairs artfully placed around the room and has access to a private bar (and bartender). I love the back wall, with photo windows viewing Salisbury Street and a huge wooden bench seat. Rebecca and her husband Steve, the owners of The Big Easy, created this space to throw a rocking New Years Eve party, and they're inviting locals to use it during the year. Rebecca hired a fortune teller for our VIP night, but options are practically unlimited for what you want to bring in (bachelorette party strippers?!) The room is pricy to rent, but the intention is to get in a "classier" group of people that will keep the space up (however, there's definitely room for a dance party in the room, think old Bee Hive tightness). The best part: that VIP feeling as you are personally led up to the room by a manager, it was VERY speakeasy and secretive!

I just don't get the appeal - but my taste in decor is very different than most I would say, so I bet I'm alone in thinking The Stockroom looks like, well, a place you should put...extra stock.

The girl who got charged none was told to write a Google review to get in for free. The inconsistency is a bit bothersome. The bartenders were nice, but also pushed Google reviews in exchange for a stronger drink. They did not follow through with their word ... my drink was nearly just sprite and grenadine, maybe a tiny splash of vodka. It was clear these bartenders did not have much bartending experience. Wish I would've saved the $25 I spent to get in for one disappointing drink.

Short version: In experiencing my COVID-19 vaccinations at the Andrews Center of WakeMed, I found…read moretheir process a good one. A bit of frustration for parking on the first visit, but all in all in my opinion their vaccination clinic was run smoothly and efficiently. The Deets: This review will be specifically about the COVID-19 vaccination effort that was centered here at the Andrews Center of WakeMed's main campus. I felt this process was pretty well organized. Once approved to be included in a group to be vaccinated, one could make a vaccination clinic appointment easily on the MyChart website/phone app. Once arriving at the Andrews Center at the appointment time, there is parking provided in front of the center and in the one story deck below. This parking was very handy especially on the second vaccine dose trip but found that for the first dose appointment that a parking space in this area was frustrating to obtain...I had to wait for a very long time for a space to open up, and was glad I had left very early for my appointment. However, knowing that this sign meant it was very successful in getting people in to get their vaccination, I was more than happy to have this type of frustration in the end. Once inside, after going through screening questions, the line was very well maintained with social distancing enforced and mask wearing also enforced. The staff was very efficient as well as professional in getting everyone confirmed and registered. The wait was not long as they had 7-8 vaccination stations going, and everyone was placed in well spaced out seats that were ordered to always know who is next to have their vaccine dose. Nurses/practitioners delivering the vaccine were great...informative, professional, and positive. After receiving the vaccine, each person waits in a holding area room next door to the main vaccination stations. The holding area was full of socially distanced seats that was staffed with nursing and volunteer staff, which not only made sure all were well for approximately 15 minutes post vaccination but also make sure that everyone knew how to make a follow up vaccine appointment if needed. My experience for the most part for COVID-19 vaccination in both trips was a good one.

The rooms were clean and had everything we needed. The location of the hotel is perfect for traveling around Raleigh. For needed items the hotel has most of your needed amenities. The only thing they didn't have was bottled water but we were able to fill our canteens in the lobby. There is a Harris Teeter close by for your grocery needs. Thr morning breakfast has all that you need and stays stocked and the staff ensures the area is clean. The ONLY issue we had was a foul odor in our bathroom that they were unable to mediate which I'm sure was a sewer pipe issue but we were able to live with it using air freshener and keeping the bathroom door closed. For a tip: our kids LOVE swimming but this hotel has a seasonal pool so if you are coming during the winter months there is no pool access. Overall this place was very good. We would return. The photos attached to the profile are representative of this location.

I rented plates and goblets from here for my wedding, and got extremely busy right before the wedding. Somehow I managed to forget to pick up the items for our wedding.

I called after my event to verify the policy, and I was told that since the merchandise was pulled and removed from their inventory list; they would not be able to return my money. I would suggest renting from a place that would a least give you a courtesy call to remind you about your rental.
