Get the Bloody Mary ! Made from Times' house made mix, served with cucumber , pepperoncini pepper , olive , and a 6oz. PBR ! One of the best I've ever had (note: I got mine with extra horseradish )

Robin Bertels

Another gem in downtown Raleigh, serving great food and Rochefort, Orval, Westmalle and Saison Dupont, to name only a few of their many Belgian beers . If only there was a bar like this in my hometown!

Jasmin

The Kale Caesar salad is my favorite and they always have great Belgians and local beer on draft . Great for weekday lunch or happy hour .

Samantha Towe

Great beer selection ! Had the street tacos and they were delicious! Burgers was tasty too... we will definitely go back.

Melissa Ashley

One of my fav places to either grab some beers or eat some dang good food...or both! Nachos hight recommended & the Cheddar , Tomato and Avocado sandwich ..add bacon . Always a go-to place!

Todd Williams

Fried pickles , pork nachos , and an awesome Belgian beer selection . Quick yet friendly and knowledgable bartenders . Great place and Obama gives it two thumbs up!!!

Noel Latham

Really cool place! Great music playing, and super friendly service . Buffalo Chicken sandwich was Delish ♥️

Abdul Hakkim

There’s ample outdoor seating , a roof-deck for those who want a city view , and a sidewalk cafe for anyone who prefers to people-watch. There are plenty of microbrews available. - © 2013 BuzzFeed, Inc

Pork enchilada ! Real spicy ! I'm not a fan but I was today!!!! My wife even tried to eat more than I wanted her 2 of mine lol, ate at th bar excellent staff great food

Justin Moore

The steak carnitas tacos are excellent! High quality steak and excellent salsa topping. A friend had the chicken tacos and she said they were excellent also.

Amanda Whitmore

The burger is amazing and the fish and chips were on point. Very friendly bar tenders and a wonderful selection of beer and cider .

The News & Observer

What once served as the headquarters for the Raleigh Times now offers microbrews and imports, half-pound burgers , Reuben sandwiches made with house-cured corned beef and BBQ pork nachos . Read more

John Cassillo

Cool vibe, great service, and food and beer also hit the mark. Definitely worth a stop for dinner and drinks.

Mel Johnson

Their hamburger is rated best in Raleigh - for good reason ! But today, I'm falling for the Buffalo chix sandwich - another winner. Just the right amount of heat & spice.

Shannon Zucker

Haven't tried the food but the atmosphere is great and there is a lot of room between the three levels. One of which is outside.

Allan C

Becca Z is a great server. Incredible beer list and good burgers . Can't wait to come back and try some more.

Melinda Jackson

A MUST for any of my trips home. Amazing beer selection . Great breakfast , lunch and dinner . They have homemade chips .

Ethie Rodriguez

Pork nachos are probably the most popular menu item; get them! Also, we have a pretty baller team of chefs so make sure to ask about the lunch/dinner specials. Beer is always excellent so try some :)

Ed Dixon

The fried pork belly appetizer is heaven; i mix all of the sauces together. Cuban sandwich rocks. Pork enchilada is awesome and the house bloody mary has a nice bite to it.

Steve McQuaid

Great tap list , always interesting stuff. Really extensive bottle/can list--make sure you check it out.

K

Huge space . Craft beer . Cozy . Try the amazing Bloody Mary . It's like an appetizer & drink in one.

Kristal Katherine

I don't even know where to start. Try the beers on tap - all of their food is amazing, but get the burger med. rare with pepper jack - ALSO THE PORK NACHOS.

Jon Poynter

So many beers and the sangria is great on a hot day. Everyone here under 30 looks like they chair the Mumford and sons fan club though... Crowd trying so hard

Balazs Timko

Impressive selection of good beers , but everything with a very good taste! Had a great time here.

Jennifer Dodd

Ask for Brian Adams he's a sweetheart and a really friendly and great server..

Mekayla Robles

Great food. Large menu. Reasonably priced. Plus a carafe of DELICIOUS sangria is only $15.

Colin Cox

One of my favorite bars down. Nice draft and bottle selection. Outdoor seating on sidewalk and rooftop .

Zack Davenport

Great place for a cheep beer . Very crowded on a weekend night but worth the wait. Amazing nachos .

Joanna Hill

I love the place. And sitting outside is very nice.

Courtney Bass

Chad is the coolest person ever. Nicest manager and such a legit person! He'll make your experience at the Times out of this world!

Angie Westbrook

Best bleu cheese buffalo sandwich ! Bloody Mary's w/ side of PBR was delish too! Great atmosphere!

erin brasher

Try the sangria with Four Roses bourbon added to it. Let your hangover melt away. Sit with Jimbo (smoking times) for friendly service .

LaKeesha Fradella

Do not sit in their rooftop patio . Its hot as Hades. They are still waiting for permits for umbrellas so its not their fault! Everything else about this place is epic and I love the servers.

Sean White

Great place to try craft brews and the food is top-notch as well . Best burger in raleigh, and check out the mantle on the bar wall that displays a pint glass that Obama drank a PBR from.

Phi Hoang

Come hangout with Patrick and Jack they will take care of you good people!!!

Beth Yerxa

You know, I love the food and "ambience" of the Times, but it comes down to service. And the service here is consistently awesome.

Eric Olsen

New menu and the food quality has taken a hit. If you are a fan of the nachos they used to have you are in for a surprise?

Tom J

Imbibe Magazine recognized Raleigh Times Bar for being one of the Best Places for beer in the South in their March/April 2011 Southern Issue

Samantha Walker

The servers are really nice and it is always a good choice for drinks but the food quality here has seriously declined. I keep giving the food another chance but I'm done, it keeps getting worse.

Hailey M

Great local bands ! Beer and Banjos on Tuesday nights is lots of fun

Kiwi Thecrafty

Try the Samuel Smith Chocolate Stout , it tastes like a vanilla cigar , in a very good way!

Matt Madisetty

Great atmosphere and delicious food. Definitely worth a visit

Abby Ladybug

The Pork BBQ Nachos are really good if you ask them to replace the pork bbq with the chicken mix from the chicken tacos . I know it sounds crazy, but srsly. It's GOOD! My friend Prachi suggested it!

Paul Novarese

Killer nachos . Brussels sprouts salad was a bit heavy on the cheese .

Bridget Kozlow

Try the crispy chicken tacos ; they're great. The loaded hand-cut fries are also super yummy.

Dan

Love this place. The pork nachos are the best.

Robert Horvick

I really enjoy coming here when it's a slow night. If the place is packed I keep moving down the road .

austin

Enjoy the wonderful world of delicious ales , lagers , and porters

Brian Pypiak

Careful after 10pm on Saturday and Sundays, it becomes amateur hour. Nothing but pastel popped collars. Best nachos ever.

diane kerkhoff

Greart bar atmosphere and good food and sidewalk tables right in heart of downtown.
