Your go-to weekend cheat sheet for Raleigh. Think of it like having a well-informed friend pointing out the coolest shows, food popups, and reason-to-get-out-of-bed plans — all tailored to what’s happening locally this weekend.
Whether you’re longtime sober or just taking it easy on your system in Dry January, there are several spots to whet your whistle without sacrificing flavor. Two of our faves? Killjoy and Dram & Draught, both of which have longtime offered non-alcoholic bevs on their inventive cocktail menus.
On Tuesday, Jan. 17, Killjoy is doing more than just offering a few mocktails on their menu… they’re featuring a whole mocktail class for your enjoyment. Tickets are just $25!
If the reward of a perfectly crafted cocktail after work never left your lineup, belly up to a seat at Tazza’s bar and start sipping your way through their latest lineup of seasonal spirited creations. Pictured here? The “Candy Striper” features El Jimador Blanco Tequila, Beefeater Gin, spiced cranberry, lemon, and sparkling rosé. Pinkies up!
2022 is coming to an end… Hard to believe the year is almost over, right?! We’ve got a host of fun things to do to close out 2022 and enter 2023, including some fabulous NYE parties around town. 3, 2, 1, Happy New Year!
ICYMI, we’re treating one lucky winner to a $50 gift card to 10th & Terrace to try their recently released cocktails and small plates (fiesta shrimp and chorizo skewers, filet mignon skewers, and a blood orange spritz are just a few of the new tasty options!)—and this is your last chance to enter the contest!
The only location with an eye-level view of DTR’s New Year’s Eve fireworks spectacular, 10th & Terrace is the spot to be on NYE! They’ll be hosting an exclusive private party on New Year’s Eve with light hors d’oeuvres, a full cash bar, a Champagne toast at midnight, and more.
Killjoy is offering two different reservation options (private lounges or tables) for you and your crew to ring in the new year with drink tickets and sparkling wine—and there are still a few spots left! As capacity allows, Killjoy will also welcome guests at the door with no cover charge.
If you’re looking for a more casual way to ring in the new year, head to Boxcar for its No Fuss, No Frills NYE Party! No fancy dress code is required, and they’ll have $25 bottles of Champagne and a countdown to midnight—plus a plethora of games, of course. Let the games—er, new year!—begin!
If you’re in denial about Christmas being over, head to St. Nick’s, a unique Christmas pop-up bar at House of Art where the festive fun lives on (through Jan. 1) in the form of magical decor, music, drinks, treats, and events! You’re def gonna wanna get a pic for the ‘Gram on that swing. 😉
