We'll done, Young Hearts Distilling! Our dining experience was classy and memorable. I loved this ambiance, decor, music, excellent dishes, and cocktails. We started with a pink colada, which was just beautiful. The bartenders hand crush the ice (that's a lot of work). I enjoyed the coconut and lime in this drink. We also got a pumpkin Milky Way stout, which was to die for! We shared the scallops, lion's mane mushrooms, and red potatoes. Everything was just excellent. The menu says the potatoes have cheese, but the bartender said they didn't come with cheese anymore. I think it would have been better with cheese. Everything was creative with so much flavor. The scallops and mushrooms were my favorite. We want to go back and try everything on the menu! read more

We came here for a private holiday party in the upstairs area, which had a heated patio and comfortable seating. The goat cheese ball with chèvre honey was delicious. The batter on the chicken breast was light and crunchy and the chicken was tender. Parking deck next door and free on weekends. Very clean restaurant read more

Everyone must come to Young Hearts for Tacuterie Tuesday! It was so dang good. They bring out a huge board of sides, meats, and fixings with homemade warm tortillas. From the queso to the guacamole to the perfectly fried chips, it was a true treat. It is so much food that you can legit share it with 4. Our server was very pleasant and helpful and the agave margaritas were wonderful as well! read more

I really enjoyed coming here for brunch, the menu isn't huge but YH really took their time curating they menu to be a balance of flavors. My friends liked the avocado tartine, bloodys & mimosas! Floral Dora: 9/10 Vegetable Hash: 8.5/10 (don't be thrown by the bbq grape, it was delicious!) read more

Date night review. I made reservations for this location because it had a rooftop and the weather was nice. The location is right downtown and super simple to find. We were escorted upstairs and even though the rooftop views weren't "amazing" it still made for a cool ambience. Our server was Jace (hope I spelled that correctly) and he was great! We had 3 different appetizers since they are tapas style and that was just enough. They also distill their own spirits so we decided to try vodka shots along without drinks. They were POTENT, but much appreciated lol. We can't wait to come back and try more menu items! read more

Visited here for the first time last night for dinner and drinks. Our waitress (can't remember her name) was friendly and helpful with drink suggestions. They had some spooky Halloween drinks on the menu so I ordered the Surprise Sidney. Very tasty. For my entree I ordered the Butternut Squash Risotto which was delicious. Husband ordered the special -- the empanadas. He said they tasted great but thought portion size was small for $18. When it was time to leave we ordered drinks to go to carry through the new social district -- first time doing this! Pretty cool -- they put the date and time on a plastic cup and you are good to go! read more

This is not your ho-hum meat and cheese board. Well worth the price. Everything was fresh, local and flavorful. It's a meal within itself. The service was great and can't wait to comeback, even just for the whole grain mustard! read more

This is a great event venue, but it is closed to the public. The food is great, and the staff is fantastic. The ambiance is beautiful.

Stumbled upon the outdoor sign on the Sunday after Christmas advertising brunch. So we climbed the step stairs like two thirsty mountain goats and sat outside on the inviting outdoor balcony space. We decided to share as much as we could the Brussels with apples and a fried egg amazing. The fried chicken with grits spectacular. Those grits would make any southerner proud. Bloody Mary's were good but could be jazzed up with some better snacks on the stick!! Theo house donut is pretty damn tasty also. read more

This is a nice casual spot to meet up with friends. They have some decent cocktails using their liquor. Among our groups, there were some definite winners but a few misses. The Agave Bacon Tartine was delicious (thick soft bread topped with bacon jam and a little bit of arugula so you feel like you're eating healthy). We also enjoyed the prosciutto wrapped dates. The Brussel Sprouts were a miss; it was very saucy which just didn't work for the dish. read more

Came here for brunch to celebrate a special occasion. Cocktails were very good...Love that they distill and infuse their own spirits. They were really sweet to bring us complementary French toast to celebrate our occasion. The brunch menu was decent with limited selections. Really enjoyed the winter salad & salmon cakes. The entrees didn't really excite us but they were flavorful. Need to go back to try their regular menu. read more

Mia was a great server! Me and a friend ordered a ton of food and it was all delicious! Farm to table so the menu changes frequently. The mimosas were delicious. Try the pineapple mimosa and the cranberry mimosa - you won't regret it. read more

Came here at like 7 on a Friday night, and they were closed, despite the hours listed on yelp and google. They don't have much info on their website, and nothing on the front door either. Come on guys, make it easier for us to give you money. Wondering if they're even still in business. read more

We had a great dinner date night here last night. I made reservations on line which were quick & easy. We were greeted immediately by two friendly ladies and seated very quickly. The inside dining area is nice, clean and I love the exposed brick. The service was seriously amazing. We had to very nice young man who new the menu in detail. We both decided on the bacon relish burger and the potatoes w beer cheese. First the burger was awesome. 2 think Pattie's w a bacon relish and delish bun. The potatoes were seriously out of this world. I appetizer we got was the duck confet with chicken Pate on yummy bread. Nice selection of beers on tab too!! We'll be back for sure. read more

I had a table booked for weeks for 10 for a post wedding brunch on 10/22. I just received a call today that my reservation is cancelled because they "are no longer doing brunch". No alternatives, no other options or solutions offered. Thanks Young Hearts for leaving me to scramble to find another option for a large group on such short notice, also the week of my wedding. Really poor service and super disappointing. I would never return based on this interaction. read more

Staff was very friendly, and service was very quick especially for it being a Friday night in downtown Raleigh. The restaurant atmosphere was nice, it was not too loud inside. Which is always a plus, I see myself coming back again. read more

Young Hearts Distilling - Licid Dreams - Bars Near Me - Raleigh, North Carolina

My wife and I tried this place out last night. I'd say it's kind of like the Trophy brand trying out a more upscale restaurant. Summary: pretty good if a little much. The good: The service was really good, especially for a brand new restaurant that was a little surprising. We got the Pappadelle as an appetizer, and it was really tasty. Just a word of warning: this is an appetizer meant for two, not for like a whole family. The mixed drinks were good. I got the Lucid Dreamer, which was really nice. As an entree my wife got the Beet bowl which she was just okay with (honestly, how many beets do you need?). I got the Joyce Farm Chicken. It's really well seasoned and extremely juicy chicken. Tasted excellent. The bad: A bit pricey, especially for drinks. It's maybe a bit much. I ordered the Joyce Farm Chicken. Did you serve me a whole chicken? Two chickens? My wife got the beet dish, and it was like a whole serving tray of beets, gross dude. So if we are going to think about what Trophy restaurants to bring people to, I go like this: Trophy Pizza: People who either just want a beer or a fairly cheap dinner Irregardless: Vegetarians and older folks Young Hearts: Fancy people who aren't too concerned about the number on the bill. read more

I gave a 3 because the drinks were amazing. Food was average, overpriced, and not filling. We came here for my husbands birthday with a group of 10 people yesterday. It was very pretty inside and the drinks were amazing! That's where my praise ends. We ordered the summer salad, mushroom lettuce wraps, and the ceviche. Our waiter told us the plates were really big. You can see in this picture the size of the plates but I don't think this picture does it justice. The ceviche was small (don't be fooled by the potato cracker things) and didn't taste very good. The mushroom lettuce wraps had fried mushrooms that tasted burned or maybe dirty oil? I'm not sure. We ate everything we got but the food we ordered was very average. The summer salad was our favorite but it's just a salad. Some of the other people in our party ordered the sliders, potatoes, and other heavy meat dishes. They said it was all really good but small. We ended up getting more food elsewhere later that evening because we weren't full after spending so much money on the food we ordered. I would definitely go back for drinks but I won't be back for a meal anytime soon. read more

Such a great place to hang out with friends or family or even by yourself. perfect spot to grab dinner, catch a game, or chill after work. The food is simple yet above average and flavorful. The house-made cocktails were exceptional and completed the meal. They have outdoor seating which is such a bonus during COVID and parking is always awesome. The atmosphere is great and so is the service. we really enjoyed our time here and recommended it to some friends. We will most definitely be coming back! read more

Really good food and drink, friendly service, nice open air patio, easy parking, online reservations with Resy! Loved everything we ate (Beet Bourginon, Scallops 'Nduja, Mushrooms, Cheese Plate), except the carrots (which were a little undercooked but well-flavored). Drinks were obviously fantastic. Will 100% be back. read more

Young Hearts Distilling - Dinner menu Labor Day 2021 - Bars Near Me - Raleigh, North Carolina

Came here last night with two friends and we ordered the dates with prosciutto and the mushroom croquettes. I told the sever twice to please put the aioli on the side for the coquettes, as I am allergic. She brought them with the aioli all over them. They were not croquettes, I make home made croquettes at home, they were more like over-fried fritters, greasy and bland. The dates were good, not dried and very tasty. The hamburger was amazing as was the chicken sandwich. I had ordered a salad with pecans and goat cheese and chicken, it was overpriced and small and the chicken did not taste like a regular chicken breast, it was rubbery. The service was very nice but I don't know if I'd return. read more

We loved this place when it was Trophies Tap and Table and came weekly. Now the vibe with the big black cheap looking plastic booths take away from the awesome wood and brick Walls. The place was desolate on a Sun at 1pm. Bartender was cocky and commented to my 33 yr old daughter kinda in a joking but mean way that she couldn't read or why she wasn't smiling which was far from the truth. She loves life and we just arrived and whilst looking at the menu he came over to try his hand at humor. It left a sour taste in our mouths and upset her husband. I understand if we were regulars and personally knew him but it all seemed out of place and a shame cause we didn't stay for food. We ordered drinks which were not to our liking. We will continue to use their pizza place but will never return here and do not recommend. read more

All around great spot! Food is fresh and delicious. Great drinks to pair and can't go wrong with the large selection of Trophy Beer. Lots of seating and great bar space. Can't beat the view with brunch on the patio though! Will definitely be back soon! read more

Our waiter was not knowledgeable about the menu. My girlfriend is vegan and he was not accommodating her at all during Raleigh restaurant week. We were told we BOTH had to participate in ordering the pre-set menu even though there were no vegan dessert options. So we ordered from the regular menu. A few minutes later, the people right next to us had 4 people eating and only 3 of them had to order from the restaurant week menu and the order one order from the regular menu. This is was contradictory to what we were told. Left a super sour taste in our mouths. Won't be back. read more

This is a super cool place; great vibe. Be prepared to spend some money to enjoy it. If you're looking for value, skip it. If you're willing to spend extra for ambiance and quality, this is your place. You MUST try the potatoes with beer cheese ... a-MAZ-ing! I know, I know ... it's potatoes and cheese. Trust me! With difficulty hiring these days I totally get that wait staff might be a lot of rookies. However, for these prices I would have expected our server to be more personally experienced with the food and beverages being served. She couldn't describe either with any clarity; just a small opportunity. read more

My husband and I were excited to try Young Hearts after following their opening on Instagram and seeing the menu and beautiful dishes/drinks. We went last Friday for a date night. We started with a handful of small plates and then shared the pork entree. Every bite was incredible. The drinks were amazing and we bought a bottle of the gin to take home since it was so good. Service was wonderful and everyone who waited on us was incredibly helpful, even playing along with my husband's request to make him "their favorite drink." Our bill was high but not unreasonable for a high quality meal. We cannot wait to go back. This new restaurant is executing at a high level and we are excited they are in DTR! read more

Food was good, but had limited options. Not for someone with a basic food taste. Drinks were amazing!

Service was very friendly and informative. Drinks were super good! We ordered a small plate and 2 meals. It was plenty of food and we took most of our entrees home. Will definitely be back for the rooftop bar! read more

Such a cool place with great drinks! The elderberry mule was delicious as well as all of the sandwiches!

The best steak I've have in years. I have many food allergies. To my disappointment I couldn't order anything from the menu due to my allergies. However the chief was so kinda to made me something off menu. It was Loaded with flavor and so perfectly prepared. My friend also raved over her menu order also. Don't hesitate to visit! read more

Young Hearts Distilling - Amazing steak and potatoes - Bars Near Me - Raleigh, North Carolina

Having loved the patio in all of the ventures of this location and loving a good cocktail, we wanted to check Young Hearts out for a couple of pre dinner drinks. All the drinks we tried were fantastic and creative. There are even options if you aren't a vodka or gin fan. Loved that you could take home a bottle of their house made vodka or gin if you wanted. The patio is now covered with heaters and a couple of tv's which is great for a day where the weather is less than desirable. For food we tried the Brunswick Rillettes... 10/10 would recommend. Service was amazing as well. A little on the pricier side but the atmosphere leaned towards that so it felt worth it. We can't wait to go back. read more

The food was great! My husband had the burger and I had the pork torchon. We would definitely get both again! The small plates looked great, but we did not order one. We sat outside on the rooftop patio. If you were familiar with the space before, the patio is now covered. There are heaters in the roof for cooler days and TVs outside. Try it out! read more

Did not enjoy the layout of the menu. Our waiter was very friendly, but felt like the other bartender had a bad attitude toward me. We brought a group of people in and we're forced to pay $90 for 10 sliders. Seemed a little steep in my opinion. read more
