Downtown Raleigh bookshop Read With Me hosts a free event featuring a pop-up shop, craft tables, puppet shows, and more, on Saturday in Moore Square Park.
Friday Five: Is There a Ball Game This Weekend?
If you ask this girl, I’ve already got my sights set on baseball since my NC Women’s Basketball team ended their hard-fought season on Monday. This week, I’m also sharing several answers to one my favorite professional topics that I get asked about all the time: “Where should I host an event in Raleigh?” Let’s get to it!
But First: Register to Win a Round of Easter Bunny Shots
Whether you’re hosting an adult easter egg hunt (it’s a thing) or just want a fun start to a Sunday brunch on your own patio, we’ve got ya covered! One lucky winner will receive two hollow chocolate bunnies and a bottle of Baileys Original Irish Cream to enjoy a round of Easter Bunny Shots on us.
Effortlessly Chic Entertaining & Cocktailing at Killjoy
This Downtown Raleigh hot spot, offering a full suite of cocktails and mocktails, is a turnkey option for boutique gatherings of 10 of your BFFs but you can also make the place the go-to destination for up to 150 guests, too!
Enjoy Local Beers and Solid Hangs at Lonerider’s Hideouts
If you’re hosting a smaller group of 15 or less, just let them know you’re coming and, ✅, the planning is done! Rolling deep with a band of outlaws and looking to put together a fun event? That’s an option at all three area Lonerider Hideouts.
At Dram, Where Whiskey Is King and the Derby Runs Deep
Perched at the top of Glenwood South at 1 Glenwood you’ll find my favorite whiskey haunt at Dram & Draught. Bonus: New cocktails debut on their menu this weekend!
The Sports Fan’s Haven: Tobacco Road Sports Cafe
This ain’t your average “sports bar”, folks. This is elevated drinking and dining with a great view of the game(s) from every seat in the house. Tobacco Road’s Raleigh location is in the historic Powerhouse building in downtown Raleigh and features a brewery, restaurant, private event space, game room, patio, and easy paid parking (which they validate, too!).
Batter Up! Baseball is Back…
Our area is quite fortunate when it comes to having an abundance of affordable and accessible options for baseball fans. Your girl’s fave? NC State Pack 9… who plays again at home on Tuesday.
