Casbah

1007 West Main Street, Durham

Casbah is downtown Durham's newest live music addition . . . opening this past Labor Day weekend (Sept 3rd). Owner Jana Bradley has over 15 years in the record biz and realized nine months of hard work converting an defunct southern florist shop into a modern music hall.  The Casbah has some formidable competition with the Pinhook down Main Street and the musical institution, the Cats Cradle, only a few miles down the road in Carrboro. ...

Twenty Two

1500 central ave., charlotte

If you're in the Charlotte area, don't sleep on Twenty Two. It's nestled in the fun and fashionable Plaza Midwood district. A great place to kick off the evening, grab a drink or three and peep some of the best local art in town. Now you know.   Picture via Charlotte Magazine  

 
 
 

Foundation

213 Fayetteville Street Suite 010 , Raleigh

Fayetteville Street in Raleigh has undergone a remarkable transformation in recent times, and Foundation has been a welcome part of that trasformation. Foundation is a great place to grab a drink, but it's much more than that. It's one of those spots that you find through word-of-mouth, or just by stumbling across the quaint, homey spot, which has a cave-like basement vibe that will go perfect with your draft beer, signature mixed cocktail or ...

 
 
 

Landmark Tavern

117 E Hargett St , Raleigh

The Landmark bar itself is beautiful wood, and the mirrors and wood behind the bar make you feel comfortable.. The space is long, with lots of bar seats, and also tables for more privacy. The music is never too loud for conversation, and they play the important games on the one flat-screen at the end of the bar (though many times I've seen the TV turned off--which is good!). While smoking is allowed, the smoke fans do a great job of making ...

 
 
 

White Collar Crime

319 W Davie Street, Raleigh

The ambience is cool: a bright open space, 20-foot-high ceilings with skylights, French doors (open in warm weather), cozy seating, and a contemporary look. Friends flock to this former Wells Fargo vault for after-work drinks and to enjoy the outdoor scene (heated in winter) as much as the interior's spacious area. Patrons can drink, dance, and even play with a myriad of board games.

 
 
 

Alibi Bar

14 West Martin St , Raleigh

A tiny subterranean hangout in downtown Raleigh, Alibi's exposed brick, pipe-lined rafters, cozy booths and good beer specials combine to make it one of Raleigh's favorite hole-in-the-wall destinations. Not surprisingly, the relaxed atmosphere attracts a diverse crowd of all ages, though the regulars are mostly on the younger side. Most nights a DJ spins but make sure to check out the well-stocked jukebox.
