And though it can’t be guaranteed that you’ll find the beer you had last time, the selections are colorful - and fun for those of us of the foamy persuasion.Īnd, of course, along with beer, a little something to eat is a good thing. The beers are divided, helpfully, into IPA and “not IPA,” allowing you to choose your intensity of choice. There are 38 craft beers served on tap at Tony’s, and nothing in a bottle or a can, with a brew menu that’s updated with irregular regularity. Tony’s is the creation of Tony Yarrow, who’s also given us the Golden Road Brewery (since sold to Anheuser-Busch), a major figure in bringing great suds to the land of watery beer. They’re really just lazy, refusing to drive north of Ventura Boulevard, in search of some solace, and a large batch of old school board games. It’s something I’ve heard too often from emigres from pub-heavy ‘hoods like Williamsburg in Brooklyn, that they like the weather - but can’t find any place to bend an elbow over a proper pint of suds.

But rather than spending an hour in freeway traffic, we’re driving 10 minutes on local streets, using a lot less gas in the process. Most of our neighborhoods are blessed with an abundance of small, inexpensive, family run eateries, often found in our ubiquitous mini-malls, offering a chance to eat - and eat well - just a few minutes from home.

This is your go-to spot.Īt Buxton Hall, they use pasture-raised hogs for to carry on their whole-hog tradition that personifies the restaurant. They’ve been a local barbecue staple in the area since 1938 and have won countless awards for their BBQ fare, with many dishes still using the same original recipe. So it makes sense that you’ll find some incredible ribs in Raleigh, and Clyde Cooper’s is a top shout. One might argue that North Carolina, as a state, is Rib Country, USA.
