I took my granddaughter here as she was on spring break and they had a special for the week -…read moreunlimited games for $15.99 each including shoe rentals. They had plenty of kid size balls weighing 6 pounds each and the lanes were set up with bumpers for us. We played three games and loved it. The bowling alley is clean and organized and the staff was helpful. The location is easy to find and there is plenty of parking. Only criticism - they charged me $89.00 for two of us versus the special rate. I made the error of not getting a receipt but since I take pictures for Yelp, I was able to send a picture of the lane we were on along with the time and date there and give them enough details where they reimbursed me the difference. Lesson learned - check the total charged and get a receipt

Went to Graffiti for some activities of fun. We got a Lane right away. The girl who was attending…read moreto us was very personal and bubbly. She showed us how to use the lanes and all of the different games. The thing I like the most is that there was about eight different games to choose from. Everyone in there seemed very pleasant and in good spirits. The bartenders were very friendly as well. I had sandals and they actually even provided Crocs so that you don't have open toes while playing. After I return them I saw them put them in the dishwasher thing which is good because you know that they sanitize them! You play by time frame. Parking was easy for us because there was a spot right when we pulled up but I could see it might be an issue if it was busy for that area at that time, however it worked out for us. It was definitely a spot where people were either at the bar or playing but all different groups seem to be enjoying themselves

We went for the axe throwing and had a great time. They have a good variety of beers to choose from.read more

There's lots of variety in the types of games that you play and the owner was really nice/ funny joking with us and at us. The parking was relatively easy and there was also a bar although I didn't get any drinks. They had a fair variety and some snacks too. My one complaint was the women's bathroom didn't have any soap, but otherwise it was clean and I'd definitely go back :)

If you've ever wanted to be on a game show, this is your place! The Raleigh Game Show newly opened…read morein November in North Raleigh. It's in the Falls Village Shopping Center (where TJ Maxx is) off Falls of Neuse, behind Chick-Fil-A. It's a fun couple hours out with friends, family and/or total strangers. They do private parties, team building, and just plain old good times. We went to the Grand Opening event and were intrigued enough to book a two hour session with several family members. Each session has around 20 people. It's hosted by one of the owners who is a lot of fun. The session includes a variety of game types...word, trivia, skill, even fear factor. No prizes other than bragging rights, which really makes for a relaxed fun time. They do have a small lobby area with a small bar where you can get a beer or glass of wine or soft drink. But do know that once the game begins you're not going to want to leave because it's non-stop game action. Plenty of free parking. Locally owned. The couple that own and operate it are delightful. Highly recommend! And I'm not just saying that cause we won, LOL.

Loved it! I didn't actually do any crafts tonight and it was my first time checking this place out…read morebut it's super cool and has a nice laid back and inviting feel. There were small groups of friends doing crafts together, a big group crafting for someone's birthday party (they brought cookies and cake and two humongous pizzas; this place allows you to bring your own food and snacks which is so cool!), and an outdoor area in back as well where my group and I hung out. They have feminine hygiene products available in the restroom for those who are in need. They've also got a jar of gigantic Kirkland dog biscuits which I didn't know existed but my dog absolutely loved them so thank you crafts and drafts! Definitely recommend this place as a fun and chill spot to hang out with friends.

So fun! This was my first visit! We got lucky since they were having a buy one get one half off…read morecraft kit deal. We opted for the wood burning kit. It was very fun to try and we spent about 3 hours working on our crafts. We used the stencils, wood burning tool, paint, and colored pencils for our creations. They were super open to let us taste any beers we wanted to try before making our selection. They had 8 beers on tap and then a lot of canned beers and other drinks available as well. Can't wait to go back and work on something else!

This was my second time coming to the Brier Creek country club for an event. Both times I enjoyed…read moremyself. There is plenty of parking in front of the country club. The ballroom that we utilized is spacious with multiple tables and chairs and enough room for a dance floor and/or stage. The venue was nicely decorated and had festive decorations such as large Christmas trees and lights inside. There were also beautiful chandeliers inside of the ballroom. Water, salad dressing, butter, and rolls were on our table and we were served salads. The servers were really friendly and helpful. The food was served to us buffet style by the staff and it was good. One of my my favorites was the bbq salmon topped with corn. I had never had salmon prepared this way but all of the flavors came together nicely. I would def consider hosting an event here or recommending someone contact this business to host their event at this venue.

I took my two small hungry children to Brier Creek Country Club (of which I was a member) on a…read moreSunday afternoon dressed in shorts and a T-shirt. I was denied entry into Deke's (the ground floor bar and restaurant) "Because I was wearing a T-shirt, which didn't meet the new dress code". I looked in disbelieve at that moment, to see two gentlemen actually wearing T-shirts, at which time I asked to speak to the manager. The lady fired back, "I AM the manager", at which time I asked to speak to a higher level manager, as two others were wearing T-shirts. She resisted to get the higher level manager, and continued to argue that that was their new dress code, at which time I asked again to speak "to the higher level manager". She resisted again, so I asked again. She then replied, "Don't yell at me", which was a fabrication, and went to get the Food and Beverage Director. She was obviously angry because I asked to speak to the higher level manager. The Food and Beverage Director came (David), he looked disheveled, in a 1950s suit, Beard also disheveled, and he had a strange odor. By his behavior, it was clear he was informed that I had "yelled" at the other lady, in her words, as his attitude was as bad as his appearance. He asked if I, "was a member", of which I said I was. I gave him both my name and my wife's name. He then looked up the wrong name, and exclaimed to everyone in the club that I was, "NOT a member". This was found to be false an hour later, when my wife called back in to check on why they claimed the membership was not correct. He didn't look up my name or my wife's name correctly, saying we must not have paid the membership bill, in front of the other members. It was a complete fail. It got even worse. At that point, I pointed out the 2nd patron who was wearing a T-shirt, the Food and Beverage Manager grabbed my right shoulder to escort me out (after telling everyone in earshot I was not a member, which he was incorrect). I couldn't believe it. I shoved him back, told him not to make physical contact with me. I was asked to depart the club, which I did, with my two hungry toddlers. The Food and Beverage Director, who must weigh 250 lbs, continued to provoke and follow me in close proximity, even after I was outside. I did an about face, and told him not to invade my space, and that he was a fat man who should not be following me so closely. He then backed away. I must admit, I should have have called him a fatso, as it had nothing to do with his incompetence or his bad hygiene. I took hit personally, while pushing a baby carriage out of the restaurant, with two hungry toddlers. Brier Creek has been known in the RDU area to be a C-grade club by many professionals, but since their last General Manager passed away unexpectedly, they've really gone down hill to a D-grade club. Try the other clubs in Raleigh and Durham, if you want to go to a place that has competent and courteous personnel. In summary, they don't enforce their dress code equally, and turned me away, saying I was not a member, with two hungry babies, because of a T-shirt, while two other patrons were wearing T-shirts. Some history: I had contacted the Club Manager, Stefan Russell, in a private meeting a few months prior to this incident, to politely let him know the service in Deke's was horrible after waiting 15 minutes for a server. I explained to him that I had worked 15 years as a server in restaurants. He was polite and courteous, and we discussed his being from Europe. It crossed my mind, this might have been why the floor manager, a short woman, may have initially denied me entry, even though two other men were sitting near the front desk, also wearing T-shirts. She had no explanation of why they were wearing T-shirts, however I was being denied entry. The Club Manager, Doug Anderson, obviously doesn't know how to select or train managers at Brier Creek Country Club. For this reason, I predict there will be a continued subpar experience for the members of Brier Creek Country Club.

When we got there, we were greeted and got set up immediately. We were given protective pants that covered your shoes and a protective top that had a hood. There was also glasses, gloves, and hair ties available, so if you're afraid of getting dirty, DONT BE! The spinning itself is very simple and to the point! Mix your colors, place them on the canvas, and spin! The hardest thing is coming up with a cool design, but we were able to get it right with our second canvas. At the end, we had the option of taking our wet canvas to go in a pizza box, using their dryer for an extra charge or leaving it until we were ready to pick up. This was really fun, and I would definitely do it again!

The blue and amber colored options were my favorites; the yellow less so. They had a variety of beer and cocktail selections. The space itself, was relatively open with four TV screens showcasing different gaming systems. If gaming systems aren't your thing, there were also board games and arcade style games. The staff was friendly and informed me that that they host different game nights, every day of the week. The prices were on bar with other bars in the area. You'll have to find street or deck parking -- both cost, depending on the time of day. Overall, a pretty cool experience with one of the first e-sports bars in the triangle area. Will definitely come back to check out the other drinks and other gaming systems.
