Crafty Beer, Wine & Spirits

One of the best craft beer spots in Raleigh. Over 700 bottles/cans to choose from (mix your own six-pack is awesome), 8+ constantly rotating taps with great local NC brews, and a chill coffee-shop-like atmosphere with free WiFi, comfy seating, and local art. Staff knows their stuff and are always welcoming. Had a couple pints and some apps—prices are fair for the quality. Highly recommend for beer lovers looking for a relaxed vibe.

A great local dive for good drinks and friendly, knowledgeable staff. Located in Five Points across the street from Five Points Pharmacy. Intimate inside with bar stools and a few tables. Great selection of craft beers (including local NC options) on tap, bottled, and canned. They also have wines by the glass, and a full liquor bar, all in a relaxed, dog-friendly atmosphere with a neighborhood pub vibe. Crafty feels more like a cozy coffee shop instead of a bottle shop. Plenty of board and card games to choose from if you're with a group, or not in make some new friends. It's a go-to spot for both casual hangouts and after-work drinks.

A nice little place for regulars, you definitely can tell whoever is friends with the servers/ bartenders. You can see them hugging their friends as they enter the place.
A great mix of crowds of all ages.
Great craft beers and a great selection of drinks.
Honestly not a good place for a single person.
But a great place for a small group to chat and drink.

This place is really great!
Went there on a weekday and it was mostly empty but then people started to come in and it was great, it has a rustic look to it which adds to the appeal.

Food was great, service was awesome(serving staff is super friendly) , people around were great.

Definitely a great restaurant to visit and have a good time with your family and friends!!!

Kid-friendliness: I took my 17 month old and he had a great time, they had good high chair , clean and servers were friendly and were trying to make him feel comfortable.

Proudly permits Smoking on their back patio.
It's one thing for this crappy little bar to take your money; it's another thing for them to shorten your life.

Ever meal a 5 star meal, ever drink the neector of the gods, ever show An Oscar worthy performance.
My last adventure to Crafties had me encountering wild animals,crazed young men, amazing performers of all types, and the greatest mixologiest in the developmented nations. And the people I met don't get me started merchants peddling there wears from exotic woods to food stuffs.
If you crave a night (or a fortnight) make yourself ready and head for Crafties!
