BUSY BEE CAFE

Draft Magazine has Named the Bee One of the Top 150 Beer Bars in the Country. 

In their most recent issue Draft says "aside from the high-end suds...Busy Bee has solidified itself as a go-to Raleigh hot spot with live music, delicious food (here's help order the Braised Dorpor Lamb Shank) and a menu of gourmet coffee drinks for designated drivers."

Prime-Time Patio

The N&O's Greg Cox named the Busy Bee one of the best spots in the Triangle to "soak up the sunshine or keep cool under the shade of a patio umbrella."  See the list.

Nothing goes better with a patio than beer and a burger.  Except maybe brunch and a bloody mary on the weekends.

Bartender Colin Couch Profiled in Triangle.com's 'Behind the Bar'

Posted Tuesday May 25th, 2010.

Some highlights from the interview:

People drink too much: Water. But really, wine is awful in excess. People hit that plateau of agreeableness and then plummet. It often ends very sad. Also, domestic light beers. That could possibly be the worst of the worst. You can be a beer connoisseur and not spend a lot of money, compared to what wine connoisseurs spend.

Interesting fact about you: I've had a beard for 4 years.

Ever get a phone number while working? Some. Craigslist is even better. I have even had some missed connections in the M4M category. That's always good for a few comments.
