Heyday Brewing

Heyday Brewing is such a fun spot hidden in an unassuming neighborhood. I love that both the food and drink selections have a lot of variety. Their peach cider is delightfully refreshing, and their IPAs pack the perfect amount of hoppy flavor. My party ordered the catfish bites which were wonderful, as well as the Buffalo chicken pizza. Make sure you really enjoy spice, as this pizza was too hot for some of our group to bear. We visited on a Sunday afternoon, and felt a little uncomfortable that despite business being slow, the bartenders seemed inconvenienced/unhappy to help us.I highly recommend bringing quarters to try out their retro pinballs machines, they're a lot of fun!

Came by on a Sunday afternoon, it is a nice big area with different options of seating. The TVs are located near the bar. To order you pay upfront and they give you a number to put on your table. We tried the pretzel with the cheese, which was delicious! I got the southwest salad, which was really good with a very unique corn salsa. My fiancé got the burger, which was a very generous size and the fries were also very crispy and good.

Had a really good time! Happened to stroll in on a Thursday during music bingo/trivia night and it was lovely. The drinks and cider i had were really tasty. I ordered a burger and fries and would definitely be back for more events and to try more food. The bar staff was super friendly and had great conversation.

Amazing every time! To me the catfish nips are the best thing on the menu. The drinks are always good. It's always clean and everyone is so nice. 10/10

Tried most of their foods but hate that they switched the menu on the wings tho. Loved the old wings menu portion, but Now just comes without fries sadly but wings on top for sure. Beers here are decent.Atmosphere is nice for hangout spot and bartenders are chill

This place has the potential to be a 5 star brewery but missed the mark with a few things. The pricing for the food was bit high. I got the chicken tenders that came with fries, the mango habanero ones were good but the lemon pepper ones were a no. Way too salty it's like they dumped the shaker all over it. The ciders I had were good. As far as beer prices go they are a little higher than the bars and other breweries I've been too. The decor inside is nice and outside ,as well so plenty of seating. They had like 5 pinball machines but cost $1.25 so I didn't understand that. Overall this place is decent at best might try it again idk.

A semi-hidden find being a bit off the beaten path this was a fun experience. They have two separate sides, the bar and the eatery, which was a bit of a pain just due to having to be in two different lines and pay at two different stations, but that was the only downer. The space is very large with both indoor and outdoor seating. The outside is dog friendly for those that might want that feature. The food was bar food and just fine for the location we were in. The bar staff was quick with drinks and moving the line. They have plenty of seating inside and a few arcade style games you can play. It can be noisy in there with the open atmosphere, but it's a bar, so it's expected. They are family friendly and there was a sports team celebrating after a game in there while we were there, which most definitely contributed to the noise, but it didn't bother us. Just a note for people it may influence. Overall: ASolid semi-hidden find with a fun vibe and an easy going experience.

This Brewpub in the 5401 North neighborhood has undergone so many transformations! I do believe they have really succeeded in food quality consistency. The current menu has a nice variety of burgers, pizzas, sandwiches, salads, wings, and more. Pizzas are now hand-tossed and the Pepperoni with Spicy Honey is my favorite. Burger quality is way better than it used to be. Our experience has been that they do cook them pretty well done, but are juicy and flavorful. Also highly recommend anything with the Blackened Chicken. I had it on a Caesar Salad and it was seasoned so nicely and very tender.Beer selection is not huge, but has a nice variety. Three different size pours for each. They also have a few wines, and some mixed drinks.Entertainment is where they excel these days. There's almost always live music, or trivia, music bingo, drag shows...there are even a couple of pinball machines. I recommend following on Instagram and/or Facebook for specials. Tuesdays usually mean $10 pizzas, and Wednesdays half price wine bottles or a couple bucks off a glass of wine.Indoor & Outdoor seating, plus a room you can reserve. Plenty of parking.Only catch is with all the greatness going on, sometimes it can be hard to find a table at peak times.

The low down: Fun atmosphere and activities such as music bingo and trivia. Outdoor seating (although no heaters that I saw for winter time) Barstools w backs! Good food and friendly servers! I feel it's a bit pricey, but they do have drink specials. Fun Fact: picture of Betty White hangs behind the bar. Some patrons even call it Betty's place. Also Wednesday is 1/2 off wine. Heyday Brewing sits back off 401/Louisburg Rd in NE Raleigh. I have been there twice and there is always a decent amount of patrons. Parking is easy, there is a parking lot as well as street parking.When you walk in through the main entry walk down an entrance way where there are bags of malt and grains lined up on each side. To the right side is the bar and seating (Along w some video games and the outdoor entrance) to the left is more seating, the kitchen area and the bathrooms. The building is spacious offering separate tables, barstools as well as picnic type community seating. They have a variety of beer and cocktails. All of which my drinking friends seem to enjoy. The food is really delicious. I've had their fried pickles (hard to mess those up) and their wings (1/2 hot, 1/2 BBQ) I was impressed w how delicious the wings tasted! When your food is done you actually have to walk up and get it yourself. They typically notify you via text message. Overall it was a great experience. I look forward to trying some more of their food!

I've been to Heyday a few times before. It looks like the food menu has changed so I was excited about trying something new. I like that you can order your food at the bar now. They send a text once your food is ready, which you pick up over at the food counter to the left side of the brewery. The bartender even mentioned he would also watch out for my order and bring it to my table if he saw it so I thought that was nice.I ordered 2 appetizers - chili cheese fries and the chip & dip trio. I think it came out within like 5-10 minutes. I wasn't expecting it to be done so fast. The chili cheese fries were loaded with lots of chili and cheese. The chili was good, it had a hint of sweetness in it. The queso and guacamole in the dip trio were very good.I tried 2 of their imperial sours - mango and pineapple. I think I liked the pineapple one more. They have a parking lot and I've never had any problems with the parking lot being full.
