Glenwood South

Raleigh's Trendy Nightlife Spot


Expert Pick

Address: Phone:
Glenwood St
(between Peace St and Jones St)
Raleigh, NC 27605
+1 919 838 9635 (Historic Glenwood-Brooklyn Neighborhood Association)

Description

Restaurants, clubs, shops, galleries and pubs--this is the spot to enjoy the night (and day) in downtown Raleigh. The revitalized warehouse district is made up of six walkable blocks of entertainment just north of the State Capitol area along--you guessed it--Glenwood Avenue, between the 100-600 block and the 400-500 blocks of Peace and Jones Streets. It's a laid-back strip where you can find anything from a cafe housed in a converted train station to Harry's music store that has been jazzing up the scene for over 20 years. The Historic Glenwood-Brooklyn Neighborhood Association keeps revitalization, development, and community building efforts up, giving this urban area a true local neighborhood feeling. Check out the association's website for listings of great events, meetings, and concerts.
