Spending a couple days near the convention center and was wondering what must stops there are for great beer and grub.
The Busy Bee, Raleigh Times, Tylers, Flying Saucer, Tasty Beverage are on the route of the R-Line (a free circulator bus that circulates every 15 minutes) and are fairly close to the convention center.
That is probably the best list of close local spots to the convention center that I have seen. Here is a link for R-line: http://www.godowntownraleigh.com/get-around/r-line
