Wye Hill Kitchen and Brewing

Wye Hill Kitchen and Brewing sits atop the Boylan Bridge on South Boylan Avenue in Raleigh. It is downtown’s favorite outdoor patio restaurant by its own reckoning, pouring small-batch craft beers and signature cocktails to go with chef-driven bar food.

The space is lush, warm, and genuinely scenic. The kitchen has moved toward Modern American plates and the bar has gone the same way with concept-driven drinks. The owners talk about human connection and about giving their team room to move forward, which is unusual language for a brewpub.

What to know

• Every beer on tap is brewed in house at Wye Hill Brewing.
• The beer lineup rotates, so regulars rarely find the same list twice.
• Zero-proof versions of the signature cocktails are made for anyone skipping alcohol.
• THC-infused sodas are part of the drink list.
• Separate menus cover brunch, lunch, dinner, wine, and desserts.
