The food, atmosphere and beer cannot be beat. This is a ‘must do’ when you’re in the Raleigh area! I recommend making reservations in advance.

Morgan street offers a collection of some of the best food in Raleigh all under one roof. My favorite sport is the secret speakeasy behind an unassuming door that has the best cocktails in town.

A delicious restaurant with a great outdoor atmosphere right in the heart of downtown. Go sit outside or take a drink to go and walk around Raleigh’s social district.

One of my favorite museums in Raleigh! In addition to fascinating installations there are also great trails for a perfect day outside enjoying the beauty of NC.

Beer and games, what more could you ask for? Grab your drink of choice and play a round of air hockey or buck hunter.

One of my favorite places for Mexican food. La Santa has the best queso in Raleigh hands down!

My favorite brewery in Raleigh. They have great beer and food plus a great brunch menu. Make sure you put in Clouds Brewing not taproom.

Great, no frills bar to catch a game and enjoy some laughs. Ashley and I ironically both lived down the street and frequented this bar a lot before we even met!

Such a special place for us. In addition to great food and atmosphere they have live music every night. This is also the bar where we had our first date (:

BEST PIZZA IN RALEIGH. Enough said.

One of our favorite Italian spots with such a great atmosphere. Request to sit outside near the fountain!

Our favorite ‘hole in the wall’ bar with the best hotdogs downtown! For a bonus order the pepperoncini shots…
