| Beer Menus & Guest Taps | |
| Mountain Candy IPA IPA – American 7.5% ABV • Sycamore Brewing • Charlotte, NC • Hop-bursted and double dry hopped, juicy flavors of stone fruit and rainbow candy with notes of citrusy dankness. |
|
| Torch Pilsner Pilsner – Czech 5.3% ABV • 35 IBU • Foothills Brewing • Winston-Salem, NC • Legend has it that, well over a century ago, citizens of western Bohemia grew so dissatisfied with their beer they dumped it in the streets. So a new style evolved, in the city of Pilsen, combining the soft local water with pale malts and earthy Saaz hops. And the Bohemians were pleased. Our pilsner adheres closely to that original style. ’Cause we like happy Bohemians. 2016 & 2017 GABF BRONZE BOHEMIAN PILSNER CATEGORY |
|
| Amber Lager Lager – Amber 5% ABV • 18 IBU • Red Oak • Whitsett, NC • Red Oak Bavarian Amber Lager is an old-style lager made with imported Munich malt that is custom kilned to our specifications, which gives this beer a one-of-a-kind body and flavor. Our hops are imported from Bavaria, the oldest hop-growing region in the world, and we ferment with a proprietary lager yeast strain (which we do not filter) to give the beer its unique cloudiness and daily supply of Vitamin B. As with all of our beers, Red Oak is brewed in accordance to the 1516 Bavarian Purity Law, contains no preservatives, and is never pasteurized, making it fresh, pure and wholesome. |
|
| Sweet Josie Brown Ale – American 6.1% ABV • 26 IBU • Lonerider Brewing Company • Raleigh, NC • As strong-willed as she is seductive, Sweet Josie knows how to draw you in then bring you to your knees. This American brown ale is a complex beer balancing a nice hop bitterness with a generous amount of chocolate and aromatic malts. |
|
| Cherry Tart Cider – Other Fruit 6% ABV • Bull City Ciderworks • Durham, NC • Oh you tease! Provocatively tart Montmorency cherries with semi-sweet cider will tempt your taste buds. You’ll be inviting this BULL on a second date. |
|
| Saranac S’more Porter Porter – Other 6.2% ABV • 22 IBU • Saranac • Utica, NY • Label description: This porter tastes like chocolate, marshmallow, and graham cracker. It’s brewed with a blend of caramel, biscuit, brown, and roasted malts and aged with chocolate and vanilla. |
|
| Pernicious IPA – American 7.3% ABV • 70 IBU • Wicked Weed Brewing • Asheville, NC • Pernicious is our flagship India Pale Ale. With minimum malt complexity, we dry hop this beer with nearly twice the normal amount of hops typical to this style. The combination of juicy, tropical fruit-forward hops with heavy resinous American hops is the epitome of a West Coast IPA, made right here in the Southeast. |
|
| Cerveza Para Los Banditos Lager – American 4.8% ABV • 12 IBU • Lonerider Brewing Company • Raleigh, NC • Mexican Style Lager |
|
| Flowers & Fog IPA IPA – American 6.3% ABV • 30 IBU • Four Saints Brewing Company • Asheboro, NC • “Flowers and fog, you’ve got me feeling no pain”. This IPA, created in collaboration with moe., is heavy with Mosaic and Cascade hops that teem with a floral aroma and citrusy, piney notes that might be the Flowers and Fog you need tonight. |
|
| JoCo White Tater Belgian Dubbel 7.8% ABV • Deep River • Clayton, NC • Deep River Brewing Company’s JoCo White Winter is a seasonal Belgian Dubbel that is brewed with fresh Johnston County white sweet potatoes, toasted marshmallows, and a blend of spices. |
|
| Sexual Chocolate (2022) Stout – Russian Imperial 9.6% ABV • 75 IBU • Foothills Brewing • Winston-Salem, NC • A cocoa-infused Russian Imperial Stout, brewed with responsibly-sourced Peruvian cocoa nibs. Big chocolate aroma with notes of espresso, blackstrap molasses, dark sweet toffee and dark fruit. |
|
| Rye Whiskey Barrel-Aged Manhattan Ale Barleywine – American 9.5% ABV • 45 IBU • Hi-Wire Brewing • Asheville, NC • We were lucky enough to hand-pick some Bulleit Rye Whiskey barrels that made for the perfect resting place for a robust barleywine inspired by the classic Manhattan cocktail. Additions of sweet cherry and orange peel accentuate the dark fruit character present in the malt, while Orris and angelica root lend dry, herbal vermouth aromas. Charred oak and tannins from the barrels smooth out the higher ABV beer resulting in a dry finish. |
|
| Pitchside Pils Pilsner – German 4.1% ABV • 60 IBU • NoDa Brewing Company • Charlotte, NC • New look, same delicious beer! Pitchside Pils is a clean, crisp, and refreshing German-style pilsner. Brewed with German Pilsner malt and balanced with subtle German hops, this clean pilsner is approachable to new beer palates and classic beer fans alike. The low alcohol and crisp, refreshing character make this perfect for enjoying throughout a match! Gluten Reduced |
|
| Pabst Blue Ribbon Lager – American 4.8% ABV • 10 IBU • PBR • San Antonio, TX • This is the original Pabst Blue Ribbon Beer. Nature’s choicest products provide its prized flavor. Only the finest of hops and grains are used. Selected as America’s Best in 1893. |
|
| MILLER LITE Lager – American Light 4.2% ABV • 10 IBU • Milwaukee, WI • Our flagship brand, Miller Lite, is the great tasting, less filling beer that defined the American light beer category in 1975. We deliver a clear, simple message to consumers: Miller Lite is the better beer choice.” What’s our proof? 1) Miller Lite is the original light beer. 2) Miller Lite has real beer taste because it’s never watered down. 3) Miller Lite is the only beer to win four gold awards in the World Beer Cup for best American-style light lager.

| Traditional Lager Lager – American Amber 4.5% ABV • 16 IBU • Yuengling Brewery • Pottsville Photo GalleryReviewsDonald Wilborn
We selected this spot thanks to Delta Airlines SkyMiles Dining program. We stopped in for dinner and drinks after our flight into Raleigh passing through to our next destination. This place was super busy with a DJ and music bingo night on a Wednesday. Service was good and the food was very tasty. Cocktails were well blended and grilled chicken sandwiches were delicious. Good crowd and atmosphere. We will definitely be back.

My Way Tavern is a great neighborhood bar/restaurant. The food is solid. Good selection of beers and house cocktails. And the game you want to watch is probably on one of the televisions. Service is attentive and friendly. My last trip in I got the meatloaf sandwich and it was delicious. It’s the meatloaf you wished your mom had made and the zippy horseradish sauce takes it to the next level. I almost wish I hadn’t ordered it because I haven’t explored much of the menu and I know when I come back I’m gonna get that meatloaf sandwich again because I’m already craving it as I write this review.

Polite service, nice place, delicious food. This place has plenty of outside tables, which is very convenient during the fresh nights. With the small lights outside, the atmosphere is very pleasant. The staff was helpful. The food is excellent. We asked for wings (Spicy garlic and Dry Rub Jerk) with ranch and blue cheese and fries. It came at the right temperature. I would come back to this restaurant to try more wing flavors.

Came to My Way to watch the World Cup and College Football. I’d lived in Raleigh for years and never even heard of it, but it is certainly a new favorite place to catch a game or grab a beer with friends (there are tons of well-located TVs). It has a classic tavern style — one large bar in the center with servers floating and sharing all of the customers. The service was kind and quick, and the food was even better. I ordered the fried chicken and gravy and the green beans were perfect. The prices were fair and the store is is a little bit out of the busy-ness of Glenwood so there is usually some decent parking options.

First things first, I’ve NEVER been to a establishment where every single item on the menu looked enjoyable. This was a hands down a great restaurant/bar. I ordered the Bacon Jam Burger with a side of creamed spinach, and we also enjoyed the Potato Spud and an order of the Baby Back Mac-N-Cheese. The service was phenomenal. We were greeted with a warm welcome. The bartender Chealsea was sweet and had great recommendations. Might I add, the prices for the quality of food were very reasonable. I will definitely be a returning customer. I’d give 10/10 stars if possible! Great establishment and great service, hands down.

LOVE this place! It is within walking distance of my office and I frequently go there a couple times a month for lunch. The service is always wonderful and the food is great! I typically order one of their tasty sandwiches with homemade chips or a good cheeseburger. I’ll definitely be a regular 🙂

So yummy my server Duncan was really good. The tacos were immaculate. Some type of fish in there I don’t remember what kind but it was delicious. Some of the best tacos I’ve ever consumed. I will definitely be coming back for these. I also love the pretzel bites. Best pretzel bites ever. Trivia is also fun here on Tuesdays. I like this place.
… more Michael Collins
Great food, awesome beer selection & a shout out to the bartenders working tonight. They both had their A game going! Trivia was just starting and I wanted to stick around for that but had to run, I’ll make sure to come back and play a round!
