    Jalapeño margarita
    Nicole L.

    Nice little stop in a strip mall type area, there are a lot of restaurants and other types of shops/activities in the area, you can bring food over to Mordecai beverage. We stopped on a Sunday afternoon and there were a lot of families and children playing outside, the drinks were great and a the bar had a good variety of draft beers

    A must try brewery in the Raleigh area! This brewery is located in a shopping plaza with other must try places including Union Station and the Ramen Bar. There's plenty of parking as well. I just love the open concept of this place. Lots of outdoor space to encourage gathering and outdoor play. There's minimal indoor seating as well but if you visit on a nice day, you'll want to sit outside. The menu features all types of beer, cider, and seltzer. There are also nonalcoholic beverages as well. Additionally, they often have food trucks on the weekend too. Def a great weekend vibe if you're looking for something more chill!

    This seems to be a neighborhood spot more than your "destination" brewery. There's a large outdoor patio (which I'll keep in mind for evenings once it cools down) with tables and even a stage, so perhaps they host live music at some point? They had about 10 beers on draft. I can't remember if they were all brewed there or not. The beer wasn't anything crazy or memorable, but it's a nice casual spot to catch up with friends or meet a date.

    This is a chill spot to grab a few beers at, if you don't like beer wine and cider are available. I thought that the variety on tap was good, there is also a small area of bottles available for purchase to go. The spot was spacious and it was a fun environment. I loved the cornhole boards, Go Pirates!

    Came down to run the Raleigh Half Marathon, and a couple of the happenings were located at Mortedcai Bev. We stopped in on Friday afternoon around 5:30 to pick up my packet, and it was rather crowded. Even though it was crowded, there was still plenty of room to move around and grab a beverage. They have their own line of drinks, as well as some other taps available. The pricing is comparable with nearly every other brewery you will visit. They also have a small section of beer and wine you can purchase to go. Our post race party was also located here. They rolled out the welcome mate for over 300 runners and made it a great event. The comfy leather couches were welcome after 13.1 miles. Though we didn't spend a lot of time here, I could definitely see going back when we have more time.

    This place just opened about 72 hours ago so it's a bit early to form an opinion. It aims to be a brewery, tap room and bottle shop which sounds great. It's located in an old shopping center on capital blvd that is being revitalized / redeveloped as "gateway plaza". The bottle shop and brewery are not operational yet, but the space is very nice and the beer selection is well chosen. I'll definitely be back and am wishing them great success.

    Ask the Community - Mordecai Beverage

    What food options are available close to the brewery, such as food trucks or restaurants? Are we able to bring food to eat at the brewery?

    Hey, hope you are doing well. Union Special is a great option before 3pm on weekends. We do have food truck some nights, usually Wednesday’s and Fridays. You are also allowed and encouraged to bring food anytime you want! Have a great day.

With little signage the space feels like a natural speakeasy. It's unpolished enough to feel a little sleazy, yet polished enough to never feel dirty.

The interior features rotating art hung on the walls--which adds a great aesthetic and is even available for purchase if you fall in love with a piece.

The staff is consistently polite and welcoming, and the overall atmosphere makes for a solid night out. The only notable drawbacks are the lack of a food menu, not even offering small bites, and a noticeable smoke odor inside that might bother non-smokers. Still, it's a great spot for drinks and atmosphere.

We started with the mussels cooked with chorizo sausage. They had good flavor, although I personally would have preferred the mussels without the sausage flavor. For our entrée, we had the Steak & Fries. The fries were cooked perfectly and had great flavor, especially with the cheese. We also ordered a side of Mac & Cheese, which is made with baked shell pasta, rich, cheesy, and really good. The restaurant itself is fairly small and intimate, with the full bar and open kitchen all in the same room as the dining tables. I really liked the warm, lively atmosphere, although it can feel a little crowded when they're busy. Overall, good food, a cozy atmosphere, and a fun dinner spot in Raleigh. I'd definitely recommend making a reservation before coming, especially for dinner.

Their roast beef panini is on par with Portillo's a long standing Chicago beef restaurant (IYKYK). I've NEVER had a beef sandwich that was better than Portillo's but Postino you managed to take a hometown classic and elevate it to a point beyond my expectations - if you get this sandwich I recommend getting it on the ciabatta bread versus focaccia. Let's not overlook the tomato soup - it's so rich and flavorful. For a lighter lunch my go to is the tuna panini with broccoli salad. They are known for their boards, I've not had the bruschetta yet but it looks delicious. My favorite board is the hummus. One thing I hate is when a restaurant gives you a big bowl of hummus and not enough pita. That is not the case here, you'll get pita, toasted bread, and a variety of vegetables to scoop up the velvety humus covered in cherry tomatoes, red onion and feta. For date night enjoy a Violet Femme a gin cocktail that tastes as lovely as it looks. The service here is top notch! Everyone is fantastic. I'll have to come back to this review to note the serves names we've had because they have all been exceptional. Now let's talk about the vibe! Postino's nailed the indoor/outdoor feel. Plenty of windows that are open on nice days, plants galore and the decor gives you a cool like rockstar but classy feel. 5 stars doesn't feel like enough.

They also have a number of house made soft drinks, which is a bonus. They have some good beers on tap, but I didn't try any. The burger was a good burger, but it didn't particularly stand out. They use potato buns, which are really nice. The patties are not especially thin, and the pickles are not the tangy type. An In-N-Out Burger is mustard fried, and they put a special sauce on, but this place doesn't do that. They do have caramelized onions like the animal style burgers. Anyhow, come here for the cocktails, sit on some nice mid-century furniture, enjoy some solid food along with your drinks, but don't come here hoping that you're going to get a burger like In-N-Out.

My boyfriend is a huge whiskey drinker and had been wanting to visit here for a while. He had heard that the best Old Fashioned were here (he said that it was not that great), and while they did have bougie cocktails, I settled for a margarita. Our server was very attentive and friendly. The atmosphere and decor were great! I am a plant person, so I loved seeing all of the plants. I love the open concept and exposed ceiling. But the food......was displeasing and unappetizing. I ordered the lamp burger, and while I ordered it as well done, I did not know that it would be presented overcooked with a charred outside. If you know lamb, this caused the meat to be extremely dry. The burger itself was very bland and lacked much flavor. My boyfriend ordered the Fireman's Chicken and by the looks of it when it came out, someone should have called the fire department while it was cooking! It was so burnt it was black. The only flavor present was charred meat and it was the most dried out chicken we have ever had (unfortunately I tried it). The collard greens were bitter with little flavor and the black-eyed peas still had crunch to where they weren't cooked all the way. To say all this, to have a $100 bill was HIGHLY unappreciated as it was one of the worst meals we have had in a LONG time. I definitely could see why they were not busy. The food was cooked terrible. And I will note that it isn't that I am picky, the couple next to us barely ate their meal and looked just as dissatisfied as we were. We would NOT recommend!
