Lounges in Raleigh

Raleigh's Glenwood South cocktail and lounge scene is the most vibrant in North Carolina's state capital — a tree-lined avenue where outstanding craft cocktail bars, excellent restaurants, and the remarkable Research Triangle's creative professional class create a lounge culture of unusual North Carolina urban sophistication. Raleigh's extraordinary growth (it has been named America's best city for young professionals multiple times) and Glenwood South's outstanding independent establishments create a lounge district of genuine NC professional class significance.

Pour House Music Hall is Raleigh's most beloved small music venue — a Blount Street bar presenting indie and alternative music for the Research Triangle's creative community in the most genuine neighborhood music bar atmosphere in North Carolina's capital. The Pour House's extraordinary longevity in Raleigh's competitive entertainment market and its role in developing the Triangle's local music scene make it one of the most culturally important small venues in the Southeast.

Glenwood South is Raleigh's most active bar corridor — a mile of restaurants, cocktail lounges, and nightclubs serving North Carolina's capital city professional community. Raleigh's extraordinary growth (the fastest-growing major metropolitan area in the Southeast) and its enormous young professional population create a cocktail lounge market of unusual spending power and sophistication.
