Glenwood South

One of downtown’s signature streets anchors this eclectic mix of restaurants, art galleries, stores, nightlife, and residences. New restaurants blend in with established favorites, while the exploding population of young workers find plenty to do in the active bar scene, which includes the world record-holding Raleigh Beer Garden. With over 1,500 units under construction or recently delivered and more on the way, Glenwood South will build on its existing residential base to become one of downtown’s most distinctive neighborhoods.

Downtown Destinations: Glenwood South District 

Friday, April 17th – Friday, May 1st

Starting April 17th, DRA will shine a spotlight on the Glenwood South District as part of Downtown Destinations: a celebration of Downtown Raleigh’s 6 distinct districts and the local businesses, history, and experiences that make each one unique.

Discover what makes this around-the-clock neighborhood a destination by exploring its award-winning restaurants and bars, meeting friends for a round of mini-golf, trying a new fitness studio, and discovering art studios at the historic Carter Building.

Along the way, DRA and friends will share must-try guides, business spotlights, and pro-tips for experiencing everything this vibrant and storied corner of downtown has to offer. The celebration wraps up with a gift card treasure hunt around the district and the unveiling of our newest pop-up ARTivation in Bloc[83] on May First Friday.
