I first got to try Blackbird at a Halloween Yelp event, where they brough about half a dozen of the…read morebeers for us to try. I was impressed with so many of them, that I knew I had to make the journey from Raleigh to Wake Forest. On a chilly Saturday afternoon, I took the lone remaining seat at the bar. The service was incredible friendly (Cheers!) and they let me try 4 samples, which was very much appreciated. My favorites were the Juicy January and and the Yellow Submarine, both are Hazy IPAs. The JJ had hints of creamy pineapple in it, refreshing without being too light. The YS tasted a little more balanced, a really good all around beer. The Where I Belong was also good, this one leaned a little more towards West Coast, but it didn't have a strong piney taste like a lot of West Coasts can. I even noticed hints of caramel in it as well, which helped to counter the hops. There are several TVs and they'll put on just about any game you request. Also if you're into pumpkin beer, try the Pumpkin Amber when it's around. It's a Top 3 pumpkin beer that I've ever tried, and I've tried at least 25.

I was finally able to step into The Salty Turtle Taproom at 13100 Falls of Neuse Rd, Raleigh. I've…read morepassed it several times before but was glad to finally be able to stop in and enjoy. Inside, the space is wide open. Outside offers sun, breeze, and regular live music. The staff was warm, friednly, and guided u through a tap list that seemed fairly large for such a small spot. There were also a few mocktails for good measure. I'm a dark beer drinker, so went straight for Swingbridge, their Breakfast Stout. Rich with roasty coffee, soft vanilla, and a bit of baking chocolate. Exactly what I wanted. My partner's watermelon mojito mocktail was bright and refreshing, and she loved it. We left knowing we'll be back. It for sure is a spot built for staying a while, not just stopping by. THank You Salty Turtle!

Came here for an adoption event Lonerider hosted for TriBeagles, which seems to be a regular event…read more So, we bought some drinks and left with two new dogs. Lonerider was very accommodating and accessible for both humans and dogs. Let's talk about beer and cocktails. As I was DD, you'll have to take my spouse's word for the beer. He enjoyed a couple of IPA's on the menu, and they very kindly made me a mocktail for half the price (which I'm grateful for as the drive back to Northern VA is kind of long, and I don't need to get pulled over with two newly adopted beagles already scared for their lives.) The outlaw extra menu, which is made up of specialty kegs on tap, also had a good variety on it. The big screen with all the different beers currently available is pretty cool. And I like that there's a fridge stocked up with take home beers, too. Plenty of parking outside. The beer garden was packed full of people and dogs and pop-up shops, still with room to sit and enjoy a beer or two. Inside there was plenty of seating and room to move around without stepping on any paws. I love that a portion of the proceeds from these events always goes back to TriBeagles, and I'm thankful for local businesses supporting these precious dogs in finding homes by providing event space. I wish we lived closer, Lonerider. We'd be here all the time.

Decided to check out Main Street Tavern since it's in walking distance to my house. Walking in I immediately felt a friendly "home" vibe. I felt like these strangers were already my friends even though we didn't say a word to each other. There were a variety of ages ( seems like late 20 and up) primarily middle age looking patrons. There was 1 bartender but she seemed more than able to handle herself behind the bar. If you want food, you'll have to bring it in from elsewhere, but it was a good experience, and I want to check it out for trivia night one Wednesday.

Whether you're throwing darts, playing shuffleboard, or just hanging out with friends, it's the kind of place that's easy to settle into for a while.

Other than that, it's a great neighborhood bar with friendly people, good drinks, and a relaxed, welcoming atmosphere. I'll definitely be back.

I had the cocktail of the week which was a gin and Prosecco concoction and hubby had draft pumpkinhead, it's the season. Both good choices! They have TVs if you want to watch the game and big tables to just chill. I'm assuming you can bring in food too from the nearby spots. Overall loved this hidden gem! We will be back!
