The 5 Best Biker Bars in Raleigh, NC

Whether you’re cruising the Wake/Franklin County Back Roads Loop, or you’re riding down the Archer’s Lodge Loop, or taking your crew to the Mock-5 Bridge, you’ll eventually want to stop at a biker bar in Raleigh, NC, for some good grub and cold beers. Not every bar is biker-friendly, though, so it pays to know ahead of time where you can belly-up comfortably with like-minded individuals. That’s why we here at Law Tigers compiled this list of the five best biker bars in Raleigh.  

The Boxcar Bar & Arcade

If you’re a biker who enjoys a good classic arcade game (Tetris & Super Mario Brothers, anyone?), The Boxcar Bar & Arcade will speak to the 1980s kid in you. With plenty of arcade games, you can unwind as you challenge your club buddies to a game of Ms. Pac-Man. You can also enjoy adult activities like watching a game on the big-screen TV or washing down a juicy burger with a cold tallboy. This biker bar in Raleigh is located at 330 West Davie Street, Raleigh, NC 27601

Neptune’s Parlor

You’ll have to go under another bar (King’s Royal Barcade) to get to this biker bar, but it’s worth it: Neptune’s Parlor offers ping-pong, arcade games, and even live DJs on some nights. But its real draw is its extensive local craft beer offerings, its “shot of the week” (offered at a discount to patrons), and its exclusive cocktail menu offering unique twists on old-time favorites. 14 West Martin Street, Raleigh, NC 27601

Scooter’s Grill & Bar

This local, longtime biker favorite has a menu to die for. With extensive outdoor seating, a loaded menu filled with American pub fare (we recommend the Southwest Egg Roll and the Cheesy Potato Skins), and period live music, Scooter’s even has a menu section dedicated to the riders of the open road (with a complete list of “biker faves”). What more can you ask for? This biker bar in Raleigh is located at 1911 Sego Court, Raleigh, NC 27616

Heidi’s Two Wheel Café

As the name suggests, Heidi’s Two Wheel Café has been designed with bikers of all kinds in mind (much to the chagrin of the more conservative locals). The owner proudly serves a vast selection of draft beers and local wines, but the real draw to this neighborhood’s favorite is the extensive menu, which offers some of the best fresh seafood in town. 1479 W. Market Street, Smithfield, NC 27577

Locked & Loaded Bar & Grill

Finally, Garner’s favorite watering hole isn’t just known for its extensive bar offerings (although it’s quite the draw). Instead, the Locked & Loaded Bar & Grill offers weekly specials (kids eat free on Thursdays!), skeeball machines, trivia games, and bingo night. Locked & Loaded welcomes bikers like family, making it an NC fave. 305 McCormick Street, Garner, NC 27529
