Hunky Dory

Hunky Dory is a record store and bar in Raleigh’s Iron Works, on East Whitaker Mill Road. It pairs crates of vinyl with pints of local beer, so you can shop and drink in the same room. The warm crackle of analog sound is a good part of the appeal.

The atmosphere is laid back and built for unwinding, whether you are flipping through crates or settling in with a pint. It works as much like a community hub as a shop, a place where music, beer and people come together.
