I’ve been to Bend Bar many times and the food, drinks, and location are always amazing. It’s a great spot with a fun atmosphere.
However, the parking now being $5 per hour appears to be new, and we ended up paying over $15 just for parking during one visit. Just something to keep in mind when planning to go.

Nice place. Relaxed. Plenty of seating and parking. Small inside. Next door is a bottle shop/food place that has good food and will bring to wherever you are seated. There are non-alcoholic options as well.

The Bend Bar is exactly what you want in a neighborhood spot – minus the second hand baby sitting duties for random kids that parents aren’t watching. The curved bar setup makes for a really social experience, and the outdoor space is perfect for a laid-back evening. Their tap list is well-curated with local craft options, and the cocktails are creative without being overcomplicated. Whether you’re looking for a casual drink with friends or a new regular hangout, this place is a great addition to Raleigh’s bar scene. Will definitely be back!
Note: Dog-friendly outside but not dog friendly inside.

Love this location: Plenty of parking, great service & nice outdoor space. Limited selection of beverages. Menu options are decent. I only had an appetizer (loaded fries)…which was pretty good. Definitely will be back!

Great location, plenty of parking, lots of outdoor seating, great choice of drinks. I just had a lager and it was a lovely time with friends.

Very cool space indoors and an awesome (and large) outdoor area. However, the drink selection is pretty underwhelming. What’s available is tasty. I suspect that selection may improve as the place gets more established, but for now this is in last place amongst the bars on this stretch of Morgan Street (Gussie’s, Wolfe and Porter).

Such a cute venue I wish I could give them higher marks. Virtually no options for people who don’t feel like drinking alcohol. Got the sense the bartenders either weren’t creative or not that experienced. Couldn’t even make a virgin mojito. The addition of a few creative mocktails would really up their game.

Great Trophy beer and takeout beer, plenty of outdoor seating, and a kid-friendly area outside. They enjoy seeing the trains go by.

Nice spot, great food, good outdoor options and a nice bar. Was surprised by relatively limited draft variety, but good options for cocktail and wine.

One of my favorite places in Raleigh. Great outdoor spot, good events, very nice small inside and good drinks. Attached to a state of beer bottle shop with great sandwiches. Amazing place to hang out!
