The Willard Rooftop Lounge offers signature craft cocktails and Mediterranean-inspired bites alongside stunning views of downtown Raleigh. The centerpiece of The Willard is the main rooftop patio with panoramic views of the Raleigh skyline and a dual-sided fireplace surrounded by comfortable, yet modern, seating. Inside, a 22-seat bar is the focal point of the dining room. The Willard’s cocktail menu playfully leans into Raleigh’s nickname as the City of Oaks, offering signature craft cocktails aged in oak barrels and cocktails where smoke is a key ingredient. The seasonal dinner menu takes inspiration from Spain and across the Mediterranean. It includes Tapas-style small plates like papas bravas, fried Manchego cheese, Marcona almonds, and more) as well as salads, flatbreads, charcuterie plates, and burgers. Located on the 7th floor of the AC Hotel Raleigh Downtown in the Glenwood South district.
