Good beers, good people, great burgers... What more do you need?
5 Star Rating: Highly Recommended

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...

A neighborhood bar in North Raleigh that boasts a great beer selection and big, boisterous deck.  See the full editorial review.

Insider Tips

Where To Sit

The 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).
