The Flying Saucer Draught Emporium - 05/02/2002
We're back at Raleigh's fabulous Flying Saucer, which features umpteen gazillion different varieties of Seriously excellent beer, scrumptious bar food, and a Seriously attractive wait staff (note lack of gender-specificity in that statement). Something for everyone, when everyone wants to get Serious.

Here's a map and profile from CitySearch.

Here are human directions:

The Flying Saucer is one block south from the cylindrical Clairon Inn (formerly Holiday Inn) in downtown Raleigh. It is on Morgan Street, which is parallel to Hillsborough Street and is one way to the east. The cross street is Harrington Street.

From Chapel Hill/Durham and points west:

Take I-40 East and then the Wade Avenue exit. Wade Avenue terminates in to Capital Blvd. Follow the Capital Blvd directions below.

From points east of Raleigh:

Take I-40 West to I-440 Outer Beltline. Take the Captial Blvd south exit and follow the directions below.

From North Raleigh:

Take Glenwood Avenue south until it terminates into W. Morgan Street. Turn left. The flying saucer will be at the interesection of W. Morgan St. and Harrington. Alternatively, take Capital Blvd south and follow the Capital Blvd directions below.

From Cary and south Raleigh:

Get on the I-440 Inner Beltline and take the Hillsborough St. exit towards N.C. State and downtown. Follow the directions from Hillsborough Street below. (If you are coming from the south east of Raleigh, these aren't the best directions. Contact me if you need help.)

From Capital Blvd:

Take Capital Blvd south. It will change to N. Dawson St. Drive through the interesection with W. Morgan St (at that point it is one way going the wrong way) and turn right at the next interesection, Hargett St. Go on block and turn right on Harrington St. The Flying Saucer is at the next corner.
