A 3-time Guinness World Record holder pouring craft beer, cocktails, and scratch-made food on Glenwood Ave.
Three Guinness World Records. That is not a marketing claim you stumble across every day, and it is exactly what Raleigh Beer Garden has earned by assembling one of the most staggering draft beer programs on the planet. With 386+ beers on tap spanning North Carolina breweries and international producers, the taps here run the full spectrum from crisp local wheats to rare imports worth traveling for.
Sit outside under the open sky on the rooftop bar, settle into the indoor space where actual trees grow through the architecture, or claim a table near the scratch-made kitchen. The food earns its place alongside the beer list: smashburgers, pizzas, and shareable appetizers built from real ingredients, not shortcuts. A full craft cocktail and spirits program means non-beer drinkers are just as well served.
Beyond the daily pour, Raleigh Beer Garden doubles as an event destination and even hosts mini golf on-site through Hop Shots. Rated 4.4 stars across more than 5,400 reviews, this spot at 614 Glenwood Ave has become the kind of place Raleigh regulars bring out-of-town guests to prove the city punches above its weight.
The core of the experience is the draft program, a 386+ tap selection organized across NC and international bars so you can build a flight, chase a style, or simply hand the menu to a friend and let them pick. The scratch kitchen turns out smashburgers and pizzas that hold their own against any dedicated burger bar in town, plus appetizers built for sharing over a long afternoon of tasting.
Upstairs, the rooftop bar shifts the whole vibe. Open air, Glenwood Ave below, cold beer in hand. It is a different experience from the main floor, and that variety is part of the draw. Private event spaces can accommodate everything from corporate gatherings to milestone celebrations, with staff experienced in making large groups feel taken care of.
Hop Shots mini golf adds a genuinely unexpected layer for groups who want more than a barstool. Craft cocktails and spirits round out the menu for guests who prefer something mixed. Reservations are available on a limited basis, so planning ahead is smart for weekends and events.
