I was lucky enough to make a spontaneous stop at Burial in Downtown Raleigh and give it a try and I may have found my new favorite downtown spot!Burial's Raleigh location is within a very industrial looking space connected to a large food hall. The decor was incredible - artwork with blood and skulls hang on the walls while deer skulls crafted into light fixtures dangle above the bar. I found myself constantly gazing around the entire building to see the sights, I absolutely loved it. They also have local artists' work on the walls as well, which I always appreciate. Inside you will find a ton of seating, plenty of large tables that could easily seat a large party of people as well as some tables outside. They are also dog friendly, with an assortment of metal water bowls on the wall to use. There is a door that takes you directly into the food hall next door, where you can grab a bite and bring it back into Burial to enjoy with your drink. Food can come in, but alcohol can't go out!Burial has an extensive beer selection, with the menu being conveniently organized on the wall as you walk in. They definitely have something for everyone's taste. Some of the names are comedically long - but it's so on brand with the atmosphere, I love it. Being my first time, I wanted to try as much as I could. Take note - they do not do flights, but you can order short pours two at a time. I enjoyed everything I tried, from the wheat beers to the stouts to the sours, but "The Beginning is After the End" coffee porter was a standout. I had a total of six short pours and had still barely scratched the surface of their offerings. What a spot! Burial has great beer, a great location, and killer ambiance. This place is a gem, and I will definitely be back.

Burial is one of my favorite breweries. The Forestry Camp in Asheville is amazing with great food. The Exhibit in Raleigh is nice, and they have the beer, but it is lacking some atmosphere. Lots of paintings, but it lacks character beyond the can art. Service was very good. So I'm dropping a star just for the atmosphere ... I blame Burial Forestry Camp for setting the bar too high!

As you approach the entrance to the brewery, they have outdoor seating along the sidewalk. As you enter, it is very welcoming with a wide variety of beers. The board has good explanations on the beer and the flavors. I tried all of the IPAs and the surf wax was by far my favorite. However, they were all good beers. The business adjoins a food court, which has a large variety of local restaurants. Dogs are welcome in the brewery and they have water bowls available if needed. The art decor inside is amazing. They have a bottle shop and gift shop attached to next-door. I was a little disappointed that the T-shirts were $35 apiece, but they are good quality shirts. Staff was very helpful and kind during our visit. We really enjoyed this brewery and plan on returning.

Great strong beers with an IPA emphasis and good service. You can also order food from any of the vendors in Transfer Food Hall next door and they'll bring it over.

First off, the vibes of this place: immaculate. It was like "what if the grim reaper rose up and opened a brewery". They have long tables which is great for groups (and even board game nights). They're connected directly to the food hall which is fantastic--buy food and take into burial to enjoy a beer. However, the beer itself did not impress me. I got the hellstar (dunkel lager). It was quite honestly devoid of flavor. (I guess I should preface that I've enjoyed many a munich dunkel, and it's even one of my favorite go-tos.) Also, the apostle for none (pb banana chocolate stout) which was very flavorful, but omg oh so rich! I couldn't even finish the 4oz pour. (Though the two weren't bad mixed together.) I'd try it again if a friend wanted to go but probably won't venture here again of my own volition.

Burial originally hails from Asheville, and the location close to downtown Raleigh offers a selection of high quality, fresh beer. The tap list spans about 24 brews spanning from triple hopped IPAs to tart, funky sours. The variety translates to good selections for any beer palette. Most of the beers my wife, brother in law, and I sampled were excellent. The bartenders here are knowledgeable and helpful with choosing brews. Provided samples were generous, and the brewery does smaller 4 or 8 oz pours for the noncommittal or for those who want to try many different styles. For the more beer averse, Burial also offers frose and frozen beer-mosas which seemed refreshing on a hot day. The space itself is open and industrial with plenty of high tops and benches for seating. We fortunately snagged one of the three sidewalk tables on a beautiful day outside, but know that outside seating is very limited if that is important to you. Beers here did not seem too pricey with most pints costing no more than $8. Street parking even on a busy day was a cinch. Burial definitely ranks among my favorite breweries in town (and likely the state), and is worth visiting for any beer enthusiast.

If you love good craft beer with a heavy metal backdrop, this is the place for you!! Beers have some outrageously long names and they usually have a wide variety on tap to try.It's nextdoor to Morgan st town hall, so lots of tasty bites next door.

My associate told me if there was one brewery/beer spot to hit in Raleigh, that Burial was the place. Was not disappointed in any way. The spot is a very cute beer hall/room, with a wrap around bar that sits prolly 8. Lots of open seating, and lots of beer variety. Their IPAs are what to get, but I'm off the IPA so I got a bunch of sours, which are normally not my fave, but these were amazing. There is a march room that is also sort of an art room, and I bought a shirt for the wife, who despite having not been, wears it with pride.

Stopped here TWICE while we stayed in Asheville. Food was absolutely phenomenal. Service was top notch, my husband is a big craft beer guy and absolutely loved this place. The vibe is so unique, glass windows and wood seating. We loved the area it was in and will definitely be back!
