We stumbled upon Raleigh Times during a bluegrass festival and part of the festival was in the street next to it. We walked by and the food we saw looked stellar O we decided to grab lunch here. We sat inside, but the windows were open so it was as if we were half inside half outside. Service was super attentive even though they started to get extremely busy. Waters were always refilled, that kind of thing. We got a southwest salad and the chicken tenders - tossed in honey jalapeño - my husband and I cut up the tenders to put in the salad and split both. So delicious and filling! Their fries and ranch were also perfect for the meal. They didn't mind that we took our time and enjoyed some drinks while the festival was happening. We didn't stay too long to be respectful considering how busy it was getting, but we weren't rushed at all. A great lunch!

We came here because my daughter wanted a burger & the website looked good! The food was great and the atmosphere was also. Our server was fantastic & attentive! The French fries could have been a little less crunchy but they were still good. Burger & Rueben were AMAZING!!!Vegetarian options: They have salads and some sandwiches that I glanced over.Parking: Can park on the street during the week with meter. Free parking on the weekends.Kid-friendliness: Each of the four main dining rooms had bars but it was kid friendly.Wheelchair accessibility: Doors were wide enough to get through. First floor dining as well as second floor.

I can't say enough great things about the food here. The jalapeño honey chicken sandwich is amazing. As are the fries, the potato chips, and the ranch dressing. We had a slice of peanut butter chocolate pie for desert thanks to the incredible waiter and it was spectacular. Speaking of the server, Brad, he was beyond stellar and frankly I haven't received service like his in a VERY LONG time. The service here, his service and those that brought out the food, is exceptional and actually applaud worthy. Overall the place is hip, it's cool, and I could help but smile when I looked up and saw a pic of the late Jimmy V! You must try this place. I'm ashamed that I've lived here for as long as I have and I've never been here. And Brad, thank you again!!!!!!! Wish I had taken pics of more than just the nachos but I ate it up.

Awesome place. Great service, great mozzarella sticks, and food. Had the Salmon Fried Rice and it was delicious. Super picky about fish in restaurants, but it came out perfect. Husband ordered a burger medium rare and that's how it came out.

I went by this place super late (1ish) and picked them because of their high rating on yelp. I was a little nervous when I arrived because it was late, they were pretty full in their main area, and they had shut down some areas. The lady came and asked who she could help and opened the area back up. The food was the late night menu (which is very limited), but it was fresh, hot and quick. I have to say their service was next level. Would definitely recommend!!

Looking for a place to eat and hangout in Raleigh on a weekend night, we stumbled across The Raleigh Times Bar. I enjoy the older beer hall aesthetic of the place, and it's got a good location right around Downtown Raleigh! For food I got the Andy's Cheesesteak with Fries, it was a ton of food for $14, and being used to DC high prices, I thought this was very affordable and good portions for money! The fries were crispy, not super seasoned but nothing some ketchup/sauce can't fix. The cheesesteak itself was chocked full of steak, onions, and provolone cheese, and it was really tasty! A bit too much bread for me, and the steak could use some more seasoning, but overall it's a good cheesesteak for the price. Service was prompt and friendly, they seated us quickly on a busy Saturday night. Love the rooftop seating area, it's a nice view of the city and just lovely vibes overall.

We had a nice time here on a Friday evening. Sat in the rooftop seating area and enjoyed the view and great service. The food was also very good, much better than typical bar fare. We had the vegi sandwich, shrimp tacos and fried pickles for an appetizer. Good beer selection as well. Will visit again.
I've celebrated my birthday here and had quick and friendly service. Every time I come in the staff is helpful in delicious menu recommendations. Also their sour beer menu is always rotating with awesome variety. The music in the space is phenomenal. If I could give more than 5 stars I would. Love this place. Love the people. Love the beer and food!
