March Madness is underway and we have teamed up with our friends at Lonerider Beer in Five Points to give away everything you need to enjoy a game at home including a growler of your choice of beer from Lonerider and an order of their wings. Register before March 31, 2021, and go see them this weekend to soak up the sun on their gorgeous patio! 🌞
Saturday, Mar. 27: BBQ, Brew, & Bourbon Crawl
BBQ, beer, and bourbon… need we say more? VIP and general admission tickets are available for tomorrow’s crawl through Downtown Raleigh featuring some of our favorite establishments including My Way Tavern, Hibernian, and Lucky B’s.
Pasta on the Patio at Mulino 🍝🍷
Weekends, especially ones that are this nice, are what Mulino’s patio is made for. Their tent is still up to keep you warm on the chilly nights but soon their patio will be fully open air for you to enjoy the spring and summer nights ahead. We can’t think of a better order than their homemade pasta!
One of the Most Instagrammable Spots in Raleigh is in Bloom 🌼
The daffodils at Dorothea Dix Park started blooming the first week of March 2021 and we highly recommend you go check them out for yourself, and snap some pictures, of course! 📸 Sam from Find Love & Travel included Dix Park in her list of The Most Instagrammable Places in Raleigh and this is her stunning photo. Her favorite spot to take pictures is at 2105 Umstead Drive. This way, you can see the Raleigh skyline in the background.
Mark Your Calendar: Koka Booth Amphitheatre Reopens on April 1
We know, we know, it is not in Raleigh but we will head outside the city limits for a good outdoor theatre 😉. After being closed for more than a year, Koka Booth Amphitheatre will reopen in less than a week with WakeMed Movies by Moonlight and Josh Cellars Jazz Series.
Have You Made Your Easter Brunch Plans Yet?
Easter Sunday is early this year which means it is time to make your reservations! We recommend that you hop on over to Midtown Grille. 🐰 They will be open from 10 a.m. until 2:30 p.m. Along with their regular brunch menu, they will be offering a Spiral Ham Feature. Enjoy glazed spiral ham, green beans, southern potato salad, with deviled eggs. The perfect Easter lunch!
Friday Five: Let’s Grab a Drink 🍻🍷🍹
We don’t know who needs to hear this, but if you are still recovering from St. Patrick’s Day, it is time to get out of bed and get back out there! This week’s Friday Five has a little something for everyone… even mummies. So, grab your raincoat ☔ and your drinking friend, it’s time for your Friday Five!
But First… Two Breweries Are Better Than One 🍻
Our friends at Lonerider Beer in Five Points have teamed up with the crew at Lynnwood Brewing Concern to produce the Five Points Connection. The two breweries wanted to make a beer together to commemorate their new neighborhood connection and we love it. This Dry-Hopped Sour Ale will be available on draft today only (Friday, March 19) and in cans in mid-April.
P.S. Don’t forget to register to win a growler of your choice of beer from Lonerider and an order of their wings! We will announce the winner on March 31, 2021.
