One of the best Aperol Spritzes I’ve had in Raleigh! Cute vibes and great small plates.
Boatman Spirits Co.
Love the views, the service, and the atmosphere. Their Sippin’ Santa event during the holidays is so fun too!
Wye Hill
My favorite pizza in the Raleigh area. 🍕
Ponysaurus Brewing Co.
Such a cute date night spot. Definitely more upscale, but the vibes are impeccable.
Madre
A little bit of a drive from Raleigh, but if you love smash burgers as much as I do, it’s 100% worth the drive! Their breakfast biscuits are excellent as well.
Curtsy's Café & Burger Bar
Breakfast/Brunch
Great bagels! 😍
Benchwarmers Bagels
Love their seasonal flavors!
Wake Forest Coffee Company
As a New Yorker who moved to the south, this is the closest you’ll get to an authentic New York bagel in the Raleigh area.
New York Bagel & Deli Raleigh
A low-key cafe with some great breakfast options. The staff are great here!
A swanky, vibey jazz bar with great music and cocktails. What more could you ask for?

My favorite bar in Wake Forest hands down. A piano bar with great staff, and even better cocktails. They go all out for Christmas here. My favorite thing about Broadsides is singing musical theatre karaoke fueled by a little bit of liquid courage.
