More nightlife in Raleigh

The Haymaker ★ 4.0

Cocktail bar$$Mon-Fri 16:00-02:00; Sat-Sun 12:00-02:00

Regular DJ nights, comedy shows, and music bingo programming most evenings in the Fayetteville Street corridor. The Pick-Your-Proof cocktail menu means it works for mixed groups. Open until 02:00 nightly.

Irregardless Cafe ★ 4.0

Vegetarian$$Tue-Sat 11:30-14:30 and 17:30-21:00; Sun 10:00-14:00

Live music most evenings since 1975, with a jazz and folk programme that predates Raleigh's restaurant music scene by decades. The performances are part of the dining experience rather than background; the vegetarian menu and community ethos have remained constant. One of the most genuinely cultural dining-with-music experiences in the city.

Raleigh Beer Garden ★ 3.9

Beer garden$$Mon-Fri 11:00-02:00; Sat-Sun 10:00-02:00

The multi-storey rooftop deck over Glenwood Avenue is Raleigh's most accessible rooftop drinking option: open every day until 02:00, wide draft selection, and no reservation required. Weather-permitting the upper deck is the most pleasant outdoor bar setting in the Glenwood South corridor.

Foundation Bar ★ 4.4

Cocktail bar$$Daily 16:00-02:00

Below street level on Fayetteville Street with minimal exterior signage, Foundation functions as close to a speakeasy format as Raleigh offers: subterranean brick-walled room, domestic-spirits-only cocktail list, no loud music. The destination for serious drinkers; Imbibe Magazine recognised its contemporary cocktail programme.

Legends Nightclub ★ 4.0

Nightclub$$Thu-Sat 21:00-02:00

Raleigh's primary LGBTQ+ nightclub, open on Hargett Street since 1983. Thursday through Saturday with drag shows, DJ nights, and themed events. The longest-running LGBTQ+ venue in Raleigh and one of the oldest in NC.

Raleigh Times Bar ★ 4.1

Gastropub$$Mon-Thu 11:00-23:00; Fri-Sat 11:00-02:00; Sun 11:00-23:00

The former Raleigh Times newspaper building (1906) is Raleigh's most storied downtown bar. The Belgian beer programme, Cicerone-certified staff, and no-nonsense pub atmosphere make it more a serious bar than a dive, but the unaffected crowd and affordable pints put it in this category. Open until 02:00 on weekends.
