7 Kid-Friendly Spots to Grab a Drink Around Raleigh

"Though Taco Bamba is a newcomer to Raleigh, it’s nailed the vibe of being a place to go with kids for a drink. The restaurant is armed with a flotilla of highchairs and has a covered back patio, but if you’d prefer to have free-range kids, there’s also a back lawn. Sample the mezcal flight or drink a Pink Pantera, a take on a paloma, while your kids devour fresh chips. One quesadilla is enough to feed two kids (or one kid and a parent who wants a nibble) or try one of their specialty tacos personalized for the Raleigh location. The Cheerwine-marinated carnitas in the Sweet Baby Jesus taco or the cheesy grits in the aptly named Kiss my Grits taco are fun and flavorful nods to the area." - Elliott Harrell
