Flying Saucer Draught Emporium

I had a lovely evening with my friends, the food and beer was really good. I would recommend the outdoors area be divided into smoking and non smoking halves. Because I wanted to enjoy the outdoors but the smoke smell from surrounding guests ruined the ambience for me. But overall I would highly recommend you try this place out atleast once.

Came in late on a Friday with some coworkers. Unfortunately something came up and I couldn’t stay long, but our server was super friendly and welcoming. Masks are required for entry at most restaurants downtown. There was a difficult couple in front of me, not wearing masks, waiting to be sat. The sign out front and the rules are simple. I applaud the hostess that night for her professionalism and for enforcing mandatory safety guidelines set by our local and state government. I look forward to visiting Flying Saucer again in the near future.

Visited for the first time yesterday. We loved the atmosphere. The service was top notch. The food was pretty good. The pretzel was bomb. My favorite beer was the Left Hand Flamingo Dreams Nitro Berry Blonde.

Great beer, great staff, great location. What more could you want? I appreciate their huge number of beers on tap which still avoids the obscene selection of other bars in town *coughRaleighBeerGardencough*. At the Saucer, you feel that you're choosing from carefully curated beers, courtesy of a staff that knows their business. Despite the large crowds they draw, the bartenders and servers manage to learn your name and make you feel welcome. Not to mention the BEST baked pretzel you'll find.

Decent food, great beer, and on our first visit we had excellent service. Definitely will come back next time we're in Raleigh. I wish I could remember the names of the two people that waited on us. Those ladies were top-notch. Also, the decoration and furniture for the place are just awesome
