Editorial Review for Sawmill Tap Room – by Kristine Forrest Seawell
In Short
Known for its burgers and beloved for its bar, this hangout has a large dining area, a cozy bar and a fantastic deck. There's an energetic vibe here that can only be found when regulars claim a bar as their very own--the result guarantees a fun night out whether there's a big game on or not. If you're planning to grab a meal while you're there, you'll find the usual fare: burgers, club sandwiches, salads, chili.

Insider Tips
Where To SitThe bar area can get smoky during peak hours, so nonsmoking patrons should grab a table in the dining room (which has its own flat-screen TV for sports viewing).

Putting my feelings about this place into words is tough. Some people meditate, some people jog, I go to Sawmill. Imperial stouts, unfiltered hefeweizens, IPA's on nitrogen, must I go on? In short, they have a solid beer selection provided by a knowledgable staff. You can get burgers with crabmeat and bearnaise sauce, or avocado and bacon, or just good ol' american cheese, but great burgers, great appetizers, lots of TVs, all of these things pale in comparison to the atmosphere provided by the regulars, the beer selection, and the amazing staff. I would name my first child Sawmill, if my wife would let me. Nothing in Raleigh in this price range and this class comes close. There is no posturing, and no desperation. Just good simple fun. Oh, and p.s., if you sit at the bar, there just might be people smoking there.
Pros: Beer, Parking, Location, Staff
Cons: um...

The food is OK, but would stick to the bar food! The bartenders' all have an attitude and need to take a class in customer service. If you like to smoke this place is for you. They have a decent beer selection, but who doesn't. Some people say the place is run by Yankees, they are nevr there. It's run by a BUNCH OF KIDS!!
Pros: Bar food
Cons: Smoke, Unfriendly bartenders
