The Sawmill Tap Room is by far, the most neighborhood bar in all of Raleigh. Best burgers in town and the wings can stand up to anyone's. Hint, it is run by Northerners, yes Yankee's. All walks of life and ages frequent the bar. The restaurant is great for the family and Sunday for the ""Church"" crowd. Sunday is the Church day for the regulars at the bar. 7 TV's with a different game at the 1PM NFL kick off. The Bar is definately Adults only. Parents keep the kids in the dining room. Can be a little overwhelming at times with smoke, but hopefully NC follows suit and does away with that! The deck is spacious and quite fun. Could use a TV out there though. Staff is great and they will learn your name and drink quite quickly. If you frequent enough you might end up a nickname whether you want one or not. Scottish Dave, Minute by Minute, The Mayor, Fish, and English Eddie to name a few. NC State is supported strongly there along with UNC to a lessor degree. Even have some Syracuse University support from staff and regulars. Big Carolina Hurricanes support as well. Nascar is popular on Sundays too. All in all, my favorite place to go and I highly recommend it. Cheers.
Pros: Ambience, Sevice
