Downtown Raleigh holds a special place in our hearts - we have gone on many coffee dates, celebrated birthdays and anniversaries, and Raleigh is ultimately where we fell in love!
We decided to do something a little bit silly for Cocktail Hour - instead of the traditional time where everyone goes to one place, we made a list of some of our favorite things to do/places to go in Downtown Raleigh! Grab some friends you came with or make some new ones, and check out these fun spots to be back in time for dinner and dancing at 6pm.
Black and White Coffee at Videri
327 West Davie Street, Raleigh, NC 27601
Black & White coffee is our FAVORITE - a true bonding experience over the summer before we started dating, and the best coffee. This DTR location is located in the Videri Chocolate Factory! (9 min walk)
Boxcar Bar + Arcade
330 West Davie Street, Raleigh, NC 27601, (919) 803-2796

City Market in Moore Square District
