Raleigh’s legendary hangout Players Retreat has been part of the local story for 75 years, and on Thursday, Feb. 26, 2026, they’re doing what they do best—serving nostalgia with a side of cold brews. To mark this major milestone, PR is turning back the clock and offering iconic 1951 prices on fan favorites all day. (And our team will be there for lunch, say hello if you see us out and about!)
Think old-school fun and community energy:
🌭 25¢ hot dogs
🍺 35¢ Budweiser drafts
The celebration runs 11 a.m. to 9 p.m. (or as supplies last), so come early, grab a throwback lunch or late afternoon refresher, and raise a toast to decades of good times, great stories, and countless Raleigh memories.
