Fayetteville Street

Fayetteville Street is Raleigh's main downtown thoroughfare, a pedestrian-friendly strip running straight toward the State Capitol that anchors much of the city's downtown nightlife. BarFinder lists 67 venues along it, led by a deep run of classic bars and a genuinely strong cocktail bar scene - Circa 1888 and Burial Beer Co. Raleigh Taproom both show up here, alongside dive bars like The Ugly Monkey Party Bar for a more casual night. It's one of the most walkable concentrations of bars in the city, built for exactly the kind of bar-hopping a downtown main street is made for.
