How to Spend 24 Hours in Raleigh, North Carolina (Updated 2025)

"For after-dinner drinks my favorite underground cocktail bar is Watts & Ward, a 1920s-infused, craft-cocktail spot with leather seating, cozy nooks, rustic tables, dim lighting, bookshelves, an inventive cocktail menu, and low-key jazz events." - Matthew Kepnes
