Downtown Raleigh Guidebook
Food scene
Just a short walk away from the house, but easy parking in the back if you want to drive! You will not be disappointed with ANYTHING here. The pizza and beer are top notch. My go-to's are the Daredevil Pizza (spicy!) and the Cloud Surfer IPA!

This is Ashley Christianson's first restaurant and truly all of her restaurants are superb! Pooles has the best comfort food and family style plates. Do not miss out on the mac and cheese when you come! One of our favorite date-nights is to put our name down at Poole's and then head over to Whiskey Kitchen for a drink while waiting for our table!

Great place to have a drink and play arcade games! They have mimosa specials on Sundays (my favorite time to go!). This would be a really fun place to visit for a Bachelor/Bachelorette party. Can get pretty crowded on nights/weekends.
