Good place for dancing especially on the weekends- not as much for food but they have drinks. The employees were helpful especially when getting multiple drink orders and for water when needed. It's loud /hot upstairs- you mostly dance there and there's live music downstairs. We mostly stayed upstairs to dance. The DJ on March 1st was AWESOME. Great transitions from song to song but kept a good mix of older and newer songs. Great DJ wish he would come to Chapel Hill. Downstairs we listen to some songs but it's more of a sway and sing along or hang vibe. Heard a lot more grunge/rock songs than upstairs being more rap/pop. The people here are definitely a younger crowd so if you're 35+ you may feel out of place. Parking on Glenwood is horrid so we ubered to avoid driving. Otherwise you'll pay $20 for parking at a private lot, it's awful read more

It's a good place to drink, it's a bad place to drink, but that all depends on your choice of drink. It's hard to tell what the theme of this bar is, but the very comfortable retro bar chairs and tropical colored walls lead me to believe they are aiming for the margeritaville feel. It is however easy to identify this as a live music venue, with a plain jane second floor that also offers a rooftop bar. They obviously know how to hire the right talent to drive this bar, unfortunately they miss the mark on getting them to the finish line by not stocking what they need to make the drinks. Glenwood ave is not lacking in the bar scene, so if you're looking for any guarantees, this place may not be it. Cheers! read more

Tyler was a star -- i've never had a bartender here care so much for my drink as she did upstairs tn! Amazing vibe, cheap drinks in comparison to rest of glenwood. I'd come back for her service alone! read more

Went late last night.....Stephanie was very nice and attentive. I highly recommend Tin Roof and Stephanie being your Bartender!!! Food was good as well. read more

This place sucks so bad. Karaoke nites are a complete "pay to sing" situation. DJ ignores the sign up list and puts up people ahead who slip him cash. Waited and hour to sing and had people 10 down the list sing before me. Informed both bartenders and the bouncer and they didn't care at all. I told them when we don't come back that it's the bar losing business so the vendor DJ can make personal money and they didnt care...Manager told me and I quote, "it's like congress, it's who u pay". Well me and my friends know who we won't be paying, this var another dime! read more

Destiny is the best!!! If you go ask for her kindest soul and super nice, she made our night

The new karaoke DJ is a douche. Tipped him $40 and I went LATER than the order I signed up. So it's not worth tipping him to sing your song earlier. Bartenders were good but the new DJ is a waste of money. read more

Fun place with live music and a big area and big bar. They live music all day and night which is cool. The service was great. We got a chicken quesadilla and it was really good actually. Bar food but it's not trying to be what it's not. Younger crowd at night but a fun place! read more

TLDR: Awesome bartenders, good but limited food options, loud DJ, numerous events and specials. Ideal for night life and live music. Too loud, young, and rowdy for my taste. I stopped in for a light meal and a drink around 4 pm. The DJ was loudly playing 2000s songs. I enjoyed the music, but found it challenging to communicate with the bartender due to the sheer volume. Their kiwi margaritas were advertised on a sign out front, however, they were out of the ingredients needed to make it. Nicole is one of the sweetest, efficient bartender I've met. She offered to make a spicy margarita instead. The margarita unfortunately had no flavor. Tasted more like slightly sweet and alcoholic water. I ordered a pork belly taco to accompany the drink. A bit pricy at $5 for one taco and $10+ for weak drinks. Rooftop seating is available as well as indoor seating at high tops and at the bar. TVs located in both areas. Dogs seem to be welcome inside and street parking is available. They do offer a variety of specials and host events regularly. Tin Roof seems better fit for the evening/night crowd or those who enjoy loud music. read more

Tyler is a certified G. She really brought the vibes and took care of our party. Plus her fit was dope. Tin roof always gets it right

Decent music some of the bartenders are actually really nice. Watered down drinks significantly. Disrespectful gob shité bouncers.

I am done with this place. It has so much potential but is mismanaged so badly that I waited almost 2 hours for an order of nachos! Despite being busy they only had one bartender. I understand it's hard to find help these days but I don't see these issues at other establishments. read more

Tin Roof - a glass of kona big wave - Bars Near Me - Raleigh, North Carolina

Decent place and cool concept but they don't follow website business hours. Kind of frustrating.

The most racist bar hands down. Went out there last night with four friends (black women and men) we had a problem at the door and the problems continued inside. They gave trouble to one of us saying his pants weren't ok to enter. He had no rips or tears in his jeans. They just didn't like the pants at all so that was the issue. The bartenders feel like they own the place and can say whatever they like to guest. Well, no. No you can't. At least not someone like me. So they called the entire military to the bar to get us kicked out. No one called them out their names. No threats. Nothing. I wouldn't recommend this place to the devil. I hope they get shut down just like cornerstone did. Racist fucks read more

Don't kid yourself and think your going to get anything other than frozen & reheated whatever. If you want to listen to Live music and maybe never discovered artist any day of the week this is the place. Eat before you arrive and drink while you listen to maybe the next discovered artist or maybe not. Time will tell. read more

Tin Roof - Live music on a Monday! Nuff said. - Bars Near Me - Raleigh, North Carolina

I love the atmosphere here. I have always dined upstairs on the balcony. Great outdoor area. The view is awesome. Nice downtown view of condos, restaurants & people enjoying life. Great place to people watch. The tacos were good. Great deal on 2 tacos & a side. Alli & Sebastian are an awesome team. They checked on my party & made great food suggestions. I'll be returning. I didn't have brunch today but I have had it. The chicken & donuts with peach preserve is my favorite brunch item. You have to try it. read more

So this was my first time here and I've been meaning to come to this place for the longest and finally made it on a Wednesday afternoon. I went during happy hour where the apps where half off till 630. I tried the Nashville hot chicken dip which came with plentiful of chicken and the spice level was perfect. I had one of the new drinks off the spring menu, it was some kind of margarita. They also had $4 wells so I grabbed me one. They had live music too and the upstairs patio bar area was nice. Didn't think the place was that big from the outside but inside it's pretty spacious and had plenty of seatings. I know it gets crowded here on The Weekend but I'll have to try it out one Friday or Saturday night. Also the bartenders were outstanding and very helpful. read more

went here for karaoke night and signed up for a song. 3 hours later, we'ved reminded the dj 3 times, even offered to change the song (which was an extremely popular song to begin with and we haven't sung anything prior) and he keeps saying sure and then not ever calling us up. this place is despicable and DJ KJB is discriminative. read more

Food was very good and the music was kicking! They had good drink specials. Good music environment

Great Music, Food, Drinks and the rooftop is amazing at night!!! This place can get busy but the service is usually good! Great Bar!!!

We went to Tin Roof to have a drink for my cousin's birthday. This morning he saw additional charges. When discussed with the staff they said he didn't close out (he had his receipt from closing out), and the charges were four times over what he paid for his one drink. It's been several days and he has not heard back from management to resolve. Would recommend going to another bar or paying only in cash here. read more

WOW! Tyler and Nick know what fantastic customer service is! My friends and I are out for drinks and wanted to play some cards -- they went to a nearby store & picked us up some games! They are friendly, personable, & easy on the eyes! GIVE THESE GUYS A RAISE! Would highly recommend !! read more

The night was mixed. I had the door man thought my card was fake and he smelled like he was still smoking his blunt. At 1:59 there was a man with a longer beard slapping people on the shoulder and then pulling/pushing towards the door. Everyone was leaving on the dot at 2 as the door man and the guy in the SnapBack was shoving people out. Less than one. I'll see SnapBack guy one day read more

This is really an excellent find in Raleigh to have a world-class tea store. Highly recommended!

They kicked me out 5 minutes after i got there for "doing coke in the bathroom" I've never done coke in my life and didn't have anything on me. Asked them to search me and they insisted on kicking me out. Shit business overall. read more

I went in to Tin Roof for a music brunch and well it's definitely more of a night time spot. Wouldn't recommend it for brunch. The brunch menu is very limited and the music is sooooo loud. With that being said our waitress was super friendly and my bloody mary was delicious. I ended up going with the buffalo wings since the brunch menu wasn't super appealing to me and they were quite tasty. The tater tots were also good, salty, and crisp. The open windows make for a great ambiance on a nice/day or night. I would go back to hear a band at night for sure. read more

Oh my goodness is this place busy! Definitely the "twangiest" bar in this stretch. Full of guys in 10-gallon hats and girls in cowgirl boots. There was great music playing all night and lots of fun opportunities for pictures. Great vibes and fun times. I think drink prices are fairly cheap, though I always go for a bud light anyways so I can't speak on behalf of a cocktail. It's such a social scene, which makes it a little tricky to find a place to sit or get a drink. Staff were friendly and I'll never forget the amazing woman that came to restock the toilet paper in the bathrooms halfway through the evening!! read more

What a great outdoor seating on the upper floor overseeing glenwood! On Thursdays, our waitress told us that their On Tap drinks that are 22oz are the same price as their 16oz! Grabbed me a pernicious. *please correct me if I'm wrong* Here's a treat: their "Anything but Mine" drink is a pretty sweet tasting mix drink. BE SURE TO EAT THE CHERRY. You'll know why! Ordered their Nashville Hot Chicken sandwich. Although it was good, it wasn't the best Nashville Hot Chicken sandwich I've eaten. Their sauce on the chicken was a little too runny for my liking. Side order of tater tots were the move, thanks to our waitresses suggestion. Bottom line: nice location, and coming before the rush hits was nice (the rush for us was after 6:30pm), and a decent sandwich that wasn't great for its price point. There's a lot of potential on the menu so it's worth checking out again read more

Tin Roof - Nashville Hot Chicken and Tater Tots - Bars Near Me - Raleigh, North Carolina

I've went to tin roof several times and I feel like it's worked out the kinks it had when it first opened. When it first opened, it was frustrating for only a few people to be let in at a time (this was pre-pandemic) but it seems like they've been able to control crowd better now. I like when there's a live band and the atmosphere is nice. There are two levels, the lower being a little more clubbish and the top being more laidback. I really enjoyed utilizing the seating outside upstairs for brunch. They have really good mimosas and the food is good for the prices. The tacos are actually really good. The staff is fun and friendly and knowledgeable about the different types of alcohol they sell. Two of the ones upstairs were able to advise my friend on a few types of liquors that would suit her test. The cover is kind of a bummer but it's worth it when there's a band. read more

Three stats and I'm Being generous. $41 bucks for 2 beers and 2 meals. The roof top is hot, but they have plenty of tvs. Too bad there is a glare & I can't watch the game. My hubby had chicken & waffles & he was NOT impressed. The waffles were stale n the chicken was just ok. The corn side was just ok. Don't get the cole saw it was the worst ! The bacon Mac & cheese, tots were very good. The ranch potato salad was my favorite. On a positive note downstairs they have musicians, bands & lots of TVs. A very cool atmosphere and definitely a great place to watch sports events read more

I was in a full suit, with my groomsman and bridal party, literally just got married a few hours earlier just standing there having a few drinks and within 20 minutes at the bar I got grabbed by two guys with yellow shirts and thrown out. Being told "your outta here" with no explanation other than "get there fuck outta my bar" and no discretion to my new bride who was at the venue. She ultimately got thrown out aswell with no reasoning other than "your outta here, get the fuck outta this bar". I would highly recommend going somewhere else or else you will be held liable to be thrown out for no rhyme or reason other than it seems like to show they have the power to throw people out. This was an absolute joke of a situation and show of management and I cannot express enough how much to avoid this bar. read more

Tin Roof - "Fried Pickles" - Bars Near Me - Raleigh, North Carolina

Let's start with me.. the people there actual loved me and my friends. They wouldn't shut up about them and me? Maybe not sure though. I won't let it get to me. The drinks were delicious! Especially this cool beer they have called "pbr" or something. Great sip for a great boy. The dance floor was a special special place to play. Especially for a crazy freak like my buddy gaucho. Overall I wouldn't wear overalls there bc how icky sticky the bar can be. My dad was all over the place calling people ugly toms. Not sure if thats appropriate or frowned upon in an establishment such as the tin roof. Roof? read more

TIN ROOF RUSTED! Tin Roof might not be a love shack but it is a little ole place(well more like a big place) where people get together to eat, drink, watch sports and listen to live music. I originally heard about "da roof" over the Summer and finally made my way in on a recent Winter weekend. I arrived with a few friends around 7ish so not that late but the place was already pretty much packed. There were no tables to be had so we ended up sitting in the back on stools. Not the most comfortable and couldn't see the stage too well. I could definitely hear the music though and it was pretty loud. When I first got there it was an acoustic guitarist singing a variety but mostly country I think. Later a band came out that played 90's alternative rock so that was more my speed. I drink some cold beers and ordered some food(chicken tenders, and fries). Not bad, but nothing too exciting. The menu looked to be mostly the typical bar food (wings, nachos, sandwiches). Our server was friendly and attentive (The bill at the end of the night was frightening). I would like to come back to "da roof" and check out the second level some time(I didn't get a chance to do so on my first visit). I am glad that DTR has another live music option. It is much needed! read more

Well sign me up for another $10 juice on ice... great roof layout... okay crowd... stick to draft. Oh boy this "island energy" was special with just ice. THEN get this... they kicked us out of our view because you have to have food in certain seats... hope you get a map before sitting yourself since no one explains this when you walk in... awkward. Lastly staff broke our debit card... think because they were mad when I asked for a drink without ice. read more

There were a few of examples throughout the night that this place is not what it's cracked up to be: 1) Asked the bartender to change the TV (yes it was busy) to a game I wanted for a $20 tip. The response I got was "dude we're a bar" and he walked away with the $20 2) The house band played photo by nickelback...immediately to follow the song the singer said "that's my favorite song from my favorite band"...enough said 3) Most frustrating and honestly the reason why I'm writing this review...the "dj" finished with his shift walking downstairs from the upstairs bar pushed me up against the wall as a show of force while I was walking upstairs. My response was to tell him to get off me and forcefully remove myself from being pinned on the wall. The response was 2 dudes with what I can only imagine is severe gingivitis and neck tats calling me a bitch and telling me I'm out. In response I asked them to get the bouncer to make it official. I could see the bouncer was hesitant, but still due to poor management priorities decided to follow through with no context...yea I'm partially in the wrong on this one, but the bottom line is I won't be back and neither will my friends. I'd go to cornerstone or dogwood instead! 4) Lastly...no self respecting bar kicks a veteran out while Toby Keith's "Courtesy of the red, white and blue" plays in the background. I respect the bar for playing the song, but in my opinion that's the equivalent of burning a flag in front of Betsy Ross read more
