Inside
Danielle V.

Fun place with live music and a big area and big bar. They live music all day and night which is cool. The service was great. We got a chicken quesadilla and it was really good actually. Bar food but it's not trying to be what it's not. Younger crowd at night but a fun place!

TLDR: Awesome bartenders, good but limited food options, loud DJ, numerous events and specials. Ideal for night life and live music. Too loud, young, and rowdy for my taste. I stopped in for a light meal and a drink around 4 pm. The DJ was loudly playing 2000s songs. I enjoyed the music, but found it challenging to communicate with the bartender due to the sheer volume. Their kiwi margaritas were advertised on a sign out front, however, they were out of the ingredients needed to make it. Nicole is one of the sweetest, efficient bartender I've met. She offered to make a spicy margarita instead. The margarita unfortunately had no flavor. Tasted more like slightly sweet and alcoholic water. I ordered a pork belly taco to accompany the drink. A bit pricy at $5 for one taco and $10+ for weak drinks. Rooftop seating is available as well as indoor seating at high tops and at the bar. TVs located in both areas. Dogs seem to be welcome inside and street parking is available. They do offer a variety of specials and host events regularly. Tin Roof seems better fit for the evening/night crowd or those who enjoy loud music.

I am done with this place. It has so much potential but is mismanaged so badly that I waited almost 2 hours for an order of nachos! Despite being busy they only had one bartender. I understand it's hard to find help these days but I don't see these issues at other establishments.

Live music on a Monday! Nuff said.

Don't kid yourself and think your going to get anything other than frozen & reheated whatever. If you want to listen to Live music and maybe never discovered artist any day of the week this is the place. Eat before you arrive and drink while you listen to maybe the next discovered artist or maybe not. Time will tell.

Chicken Tinga Taco & pulled chicken taco. Tater tots.

I love the atmosphere here. I have always dined upstairs on the balcony. Great outdoor area. The view is awesome. Nice downtown view of condos, restaurants & people enjoying life. Great place to people watch. The tacos were good. Great deal on 2 tacos & a side. Alli & Sebastian are an awesome team. They checked on my party & made great food suggestions. I'll be returning. I didn't have brunch today but I have had it. The chicken & donuts with peach preserve is my favorite brunch item. You have to try it.

Buffalo Nashville Hot Chicken Dip
Markiesa B.

So this was my first time here and I've been meaning to come to this place for the longest and finally made it on a Wednesday afternoon. I went during happy hour where the apps where half off till 630. I tried the Nashville hot chicken dip which came with plentiful of chicken and the spice level was perfect. I had one of the new drinks off the spring menu, it was some kind of margarita. They also had $4 wells so I grabbed me one. They had live music too and the upstairs patio bar area was nice. Didn't think the place was that big from the outside but inside it's pretty spacious and had plenty of seatings. I know it gets crowded here on The Weekend but I'll have to try it out one Friday or Saturday night. Also the bartenders were outstanding and very helpful.

DJ KJB
Jake G.

went here for karaoke night and signed up for a song. 3 hours later, we'ved reminded the dj 3 times, even offered to change the song (which was an extremely popular song to begin with and we haven't sung anything prior) and he keeps saying sure and then not ever calling us up. this place is despicable and DJ KJB is discriminative.

Good Times

Ask the Community - Tin Roof

Do you have to be 21 to get into Tin Roof on a Saturday night?

Yes

Is there Karaoke?

Yes, every Wednesday from 8pm-2am!

18 and up?

Yes, but be careful. They hire or let ABC officers manage the door so if you are under 21 and appear drunk or have a drink with you you will get a ticket that costs hundreds of dollars.

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. In other words, it has character, and plenty of it. The bartenders were fantastic: knowledgeable, talented, and happy to chat about the spirits behind the bar. Whether you're a serious whiskey enthusiast or just looking for a well-made cocktail, you're in good hands. Being open later than most Raleigh bars makes Foundation one of the city's go-to late-night options, but that shouldn't overshadow what it really is........a great bar at any hour.

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 drink menu is impressively extensive, and the bartenders certainly don't skimp on the pours; if you aren't a frequent drinker, one strong cocktail will definitely be plenty. 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.

Whiskey kitchen !!!!! Wowzers !!…read more Let me tell you this place is 10/10! The food , the drinks and the service.. I wish I could come daily as it definitely is a great spot. One part whiskey bar and one part southern kitchen this is a win in downtown Raleigh!

The first thing I…read morenoticed upon arriving was how dead it was, especially considering we went on a Friday night at 6:30PM. 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!

I was really surprised that even at that hour the whole restaurant was busy. The interior was stunning!! I loved the lighting fixtures and drappy curtains. I would say that I didn't like that they dimmed the lights sooo low that I could barely see my food or my friend across the table. There's mood lighting and then there's "I can't see lighting" and it was definitely the latter, which I didn't care for. The food was absolutely amazing!!!! 10 out of 10, the staff was also incredible! Can't wait to come back for more! My favorite was the Pork & Chive Shumai (dumplings with caviar) it was my first time trying caviar and I loved it. I didn't like the seafood dumplings as much as I expected. They were really good. I just loved the pork ones more. The beef and crab rice was also EXCELLENT!!!! Well worth the price. Beautiful place.

Walking into the cocktail bar/dessert lounge it feels trendy, dim-lit, like something that belongs in a very large city (but glad to have it in Raleigh), and 21+ as I was asked for my ID at the door. Once you walk in, definitely have your ID ready and then you will be seated. A server will then come by your table to take your order. For drinks, I ordered the Fireside Old Fashioned (Maker's 46, cayenne, chili-pepper sugar, Crude smoke-salt bitters) and my partner ordered the Chai Espresso Martini (house-made chai tea, vodka, sweetened espresso). Both drinks were excellent and well made. The old fashioned had a nice full bourbon taste and a really nice spicy flavor at the end each sip. For deserts, we ordered the s'mores sundae (torched house-made marshmallow cream, Valrhona dark chocolate brownie, vanilla ice cream, toasted graham) and the Caramel Apple Cupcake. The Caramel Apple cupcake was good but was more like a muffin vs. a cupcake and was on the dry side. The s'mores sundae was excellent and had so much chocolate flavor. Overall, would highly recommend checking out Bittersweet if you are around the Downtown Raleigh area looking for a nightcap or dessert bar.

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.
