The Bison Bar

Epic bar. Never stop! Go to spot to kick a few back after work, get home loose. Thanks for what you're doing boys!

This bar reminds me of my favorite old neighborhood dive bar in DC except this isn't in my neighborhood. The place has ALL the perfect components of a Cheers-like hole-in-the-wall: regulars, cheap drinks, a few board/electronic games, a couple of tvs and no food. I've only been a few times but there has never been a dull moment nor have I had a dull conversation.You won't find a group of uncomfortable looking people standing around in suits and heels drinking $15 drinks. You will find a bunch of cool laid people shooting the breeze with regularly priced beer and drinks. If want to eat, feel free to bring your own food in with you. Actually this is the only reason it lost a star. After I start drinking, I don't feel like going to get food. Also, it's a member's only club so you gain entry with a member or I'm sure you ask about getting a membership "card" which is nothing more than a business card with a stamp.

Two weeks ago I went to this bar while waiting on my bus to show up. The people were so friendly and they have a great bartender. I'd recommend this place to anyone who likes to talk to nice people (Ricky, Shawn,Herbie and Woodie) and great drinks. They also have a pool table and lots of other games to play too. I'll be back next time I'm in town! I have three pictures to share. May 2019--Richmond VA. Gal

I stopped at the Bison Bar this Saturday nightAfter attending a late party from the Ritz of Raleigh.Bison is small corner bar. Lots of youngsters, young women included! Drinks prices very friendly! Looking forward to explore more soon!!

My fav dive bar in Raleigh so far, I travel for work and just love the atmostphere and Ben is great bartender! Bought hats both times I visited. Perfect weekly drink specials

Awesome atmosphere and very friendly crowd! 1st time and will be back! Music played is great and the service is on top of it! Can't get no better!

Best place to grab a drink in Raleigh! Bartenders are cool regulars make you feel at home

Don't visit this bar. A bar patron hit my car and the bar manager told him to park his car, take the keys out of the ignition, and come back inside the bar. Hence, he avoided a DWI. Now, his insurance won't pay for my property damage for my car because they are bias!!

The Bison Bar. This place is drawing large crowds every Thursday Friday and Saturday night, the crowds are very noisy, the crowds are illegally parking up and down Whitaker mill rd, loitering and leaving trash along the road. I've witnessed and recorded drunken Bison bar patrons stumbling back to their cars, yelling, fighting and driving away-very intoxicated. I've witnessed public urinating on the sidewalks of Whitaker mill rd. Then there are the motorcycles that are equipped with subwoofers that blast as they ride up and down Whitaker mill. As well as daredevil motorcycle riders popping wheelies and flying up and down this road. I have contacted the Raleigh police department, city council and the mayor about this situation. There have been two shootings at the Bison since it reopened after the pandemic shutdown. The Bison used to be a small neighborhood bar, but has lately begun attracting loud. obnoxious, disrespectful crowds. This is a residential neighborhood. I will continue to contact the police every weekend as this behavior continues to be an issue. Do better Bison.
