Birthday cruising for Brunch with @greatraleightrolley. Come join us for a great afternoon celebration.
Did you know the City of Raleigh wouldn’t have been established if not for a particular cocktail? Alcohol and taverns were a vital part of politics in the 1700’s, with many politicians and influential people traveling by wagon for days, often sleeping at taverns. When North Carolina’s delegates began searching for a new central capital, they decided the city should be no more than 10 miles from their favorite watering hole — Isaac Hunter’s Tavern. Hunter made a cocktail called the Cherry Bounce, which was so popular it launched our entire capital city! Only ONE place in Raleigh still serves the authentic version of this sweet red cocktail. 🍹 Come learn about Raleigh’s drunk history on our walking tour! We will visit four local bars, with complimentary drinks at each — ending with the historically legendary Cherry Bounce. Join us next Saturday, September 14th!
