The Stag's Head Beer Hall And Bottle Shop

Stag's Head is easily my favorite bar in Raleigh. The staff is fantastic, the owner Tracy has fantastic taste and will help you find the perfect selection, and the atmosphere is amazingly chill. I cannot recommend this spot more if what you're looking for is a laid back spot for drinks with friends. Unrelated: #fireyang

Stag's head always has a incredible selection of craft beers that are harder to find in the area. The owner loves to feature Burial, Mikkeller, and Omnipollo beers among others. A bit on the pricey side, but always worth it as the selection is top notch. They clean their lines every week. There's free pop corn, comfy chairs, pool & ping pong, and plenty of T.V's to watch.

Do you like beer? Of course you do. Well Tracy and his great staff love beer and it shows. This place has a great beer selection that's personally curated by the staff and rotates often. With the small bottle shop in the back in addition to what's on draft, there are options for every beer lover's tastes. This place is the epitome of a local neighborhood bar. They even let my friends and I throw a baby shower there. There's live music on the weekends (generally folky/indie stuff), trivia on Wednesdays, and if you're lucky enough to catch them on a Saturday when they're opening a new set of taps you'll really get to see how well loved this bar is by the community. This place is the best bar in Raleigh without question.

The Stags Head is the perfect mix between a bar and a bottle shop. With an extensive collection of solid regulars and hard to find rare beers both at the tap and in the bottle, Tracy and Malachy have created what is probably my favorite place to drink and hang out with friends on Glenwood. Note that they don't serve food (besides free popcorn), but you're absolutely welcome to bring in food from outside or have something delivered. In addition, the location is dog friendly inside! edit: Also, the location they've chosen is gigantic, so don't be afraid to take a large party there as seating is expansive but you may want to arrive a bit earlier with a large party if it's a Friday or Saturday. It is a business on Glenwood after all.
