Clayton

Clayton, a fast-growing town just southeast of Raleigh, has a compact but increasingly varied bar scene - BarFinder lists 21 venues here, split between classic bars, sports bars, pubs, and a couple of distilleries and cocktail bars. Local spots like First Street Tavern and Instill Distilling Co. show a town adding craft options alongside its more traditional bars. It's a small but growing scene that reflects Clayton's position as one of the Triangle area's expanding suburbs.
