Mitch's Tavern

The bar scene from Bull Durham was filmed here! Also, the food was great, the service was impeccable, and...oh, did I mention that Kevin Costner, Susan Sarandon, and Tim Robbins filmed THE GREATEST SPORTS MOVIE OF ALL TIME here?Seriously, this is a great place. Affordable food and drinks at the place where Crash Davis and Nuke Laloosh began their epic journey. It doesn't get any better.

We had a great experience at Mitch's. We've been coming for well over two decades. The food is always delicious and the staff is usually a little lack luster, but they're at least consistent. If you're a beef fan, please for the love of all things good in the world, try their London broil. It may not seem special on paper but boy is it good. The space is dark, dank, and there is memorabilia all over the walls. If you're lucky you'll notice the window that hung in the movie "Bull Durham" hanging up in the middle of the restaurant. I will keep on coming back until they close the doors forever. This is a Raleigh staple. If you haven't tried it, you must.

I probably hadn't been to Mitch's in 30 years and was thrilled to see it hasn't changed. We ordered a pitcher of the Bull Durham light for our table while we perused the menu. I ordered a bowl of the vegetarian chili. The flavor was fantastic but boy was it spicy. I had to eat it slowly with lots of water. I didn't notice the menu saying it was spicy but then again I forgot my dollar store readers. One friend ordered the regular chili and also found it spicy. Everyone else ordered sandwiches and chips -- husband ordered the Cuban and son's girlfriend ordered the green tomato grilled cheese and said they were fabulous. Prices are very reasonable. We need to not wait 30 years before we go again!

Such a cool place. They also have pool tables. Chill vibe in there I will be back to chill one night and shoot pool. The food was very good. Cubano tasted like it should have and the white cheese on the broccoli? Amazing. Finished it with a shot of whiskey and a PBR Check this place out! It's near NC State .

Good food and staff. The Ambiance is amazing truly feels like an old tavern with a great history.

A Quick flashback to 1988 with Kevin Costner, Susan Sarandon, and Tim Robbins. Opening bar scene in the flick, Bull Durham, with the aforementioned put Mitch's on the map. It has been a favorite watering hole for NC State students, employess, Alumni for decades prior and since.It is located in the middle of all the college fun on Hillsborough st. It is adorned with an iconic front with an even more iconic and lethal 2 story narrow wooden staircase. After scaling this staircase you are in MT.A fellow Alum joined me for a State Wrestling watch party on a Friday night. The Manager greeted us and escorted us to our party. The tavern is modest in size housing tables and booths with several tv's strategically placed throughout. It has a separate room with a billiard table, and a one holer serving as a Mens room. Our server was equal amounts friendly, patient, and efficient. The menu is also modest with typical bar fare. Our party had 3 nacho platters for 14 and they were appetizing. The owner joined our party and former Coach Guzzo regaled us all for 2 hours.MT is definitely worth the experience. Great location with a storied history, and good food/service. We will return. #crashdavisPS-Next time I will take pictures of the frontage and stores.

Great that this iconic restaurant has reopened and our family was happy to host our oldest son at NC State to dinner tonight at Mitch's. I don't know when I have had a worse service experience. We made our trek up the historic stairs to be greeted by a sign at that top requesting guests seat themselves. We followed directions. We pushed two tables together to accommodate our party of 5. We seated ourselves. We waited. We waited. We waited. We finally felt inclined to stop a waitress after she greeted, offered menus and took drink orders for a couple that walked in 10-minutes after our arrival. She seemed a bit inconvenienced by our request for assistance. She told us she would be back. Finally she came back with menus and asked if we wanted water. I asked her for the beers they had on tap and she curtly tossed me a menu and said they were on there as she walked off. The bespectacled young lady eventually came back and offered to take our order. We offered our orders and resigned ourselves that water was our only drink option since she had moved on to the food order. I noted she was memorizing the orders from our party of five due to the absence of a pen, paper or electronic device to take notes. Her efforts taking our order met my expectations because a few minutes later she comes back to confirm our order. That was kind of funny to us that anyone could be a waitress and that disorganized. No joke. A few minutes pass and she comes back to confirm our order for a third time. She actually explained she was a little challenged this evening since she had taken a nap just before coming to work. Wow. Well the adults in our party had just worked all day and traveled over an hour for a meal at Mitch's. Please understand we always knew Mitch's to be a cool college town destination that offered reasonable service and nice staff. Not our experience tonight. Insult to injury. Three attempts to get our orders right and she still managed to flub one of the orders in a big way. This young lady needs to call in sick next time and finish out her nap.The food on the correct orders was pretty good. The table favorite was the London broil sandwich with just basic potato chips. That has always been my favorite at Mitch's. However, the service experience was so bad that we considered leaving several times before the meal was delivered. Our food was delivered by a gentleman staff member that offered the hustle we recall from previous Mitch's. We were later cashed out by two ladies with one appearing to be training the other as a new waitress. All that was too late after the first waitress. We will not be back and we will not recommend. We wish Mitch's the best but it is not a place for our family any longer.

Fun dive bar right across from NC State. Super cool that it is the bar from Bull Durham. We had fast and friendly service with reasonably priced food and drinks. Check it out.

I have been a pretty regular customer for close to 40 years. For most of that time the food and service was consistent. Mitch did a great job providing good food and a good price in a unique atmosphere. The service was almost always friendly and efficient, especially for a college bar.The food quality has slipped since he stepped back from running things, but the service had kept up. However, it was a sad day this past Tuesday when it crashed too. I know school is out and the usual staff may have left for the summer, but the guy that waited on us had obviously NO training (not his fault) and the food would have been marginal for a convenience-store. The floor manager's response was... " I know but we don't make the food". I didn't know how to respond to that.

As a student I love Mitch's! They have great drink prices and fun events like bingo and karaoke. I do think the food could be improved but it's not bad.
