Pardrea's Sports Bar Opening in Raleigh Soon
Expect sports, wings, fries, and beer.
RALEIGH, NC — Pardrea's Sports Bar is preparing to open at 330 Tryon Rd, Raleigh, NC 27603, with owner Michael Phillips targeting a first week of April debut pending final state approvals. Phillips told Business Debut the team received its certificate of occupancy on February 26th and is currently waiting on paperwork needed to finalize alcohol permits.
What to Expect
Pardrea's Sports Bar will operate as a neighborhood sports bar focused on watching major football matchups, particularly teams from the NFC East alongside North Carolina’s home teams.
Phillips said the concept reflects his background growing up a Philadelphia sports fan before building a life in North Carolina. Instead of centering the bar around a single team, he decided to welcome fans across the entire division.
“I decided to make it an NFC East bar,” Phillips told Business Debut. “I need the Giants fans, the Redskins fans, the Cowboys fans, and the Eagles fans. Those games will always be locked in on the screens here, and so will our home team of the Carolina Panthers.”
Menu and Vision
Food service will begin with a simple menu built around wings and fries, with additional variety coming from rotating food trucks on site.
Phillips said different vendors may appear depending on the night, offering items like burgers or tacos depending on the theme of the evening’s events.
“We’re going to keep it simple,” Phillips told Business Debut. “We’ll start with fries and wings and then branch out.”
The bar will initially serve bottled and canned beer along with a limited selection of liquor while the team gauges customer demand.
Opening Timeline
The team is targeting a first week of April opening once alcohol permits are finalized with the state.
Phillips said the space is otherwise ready for operation following recent inspections and approvals.
Hours
Initial hours are expected to begin in the evening.
Phillips said the bar plans to open seven days a week, starting with evening service at 6 p.m. Initial hours are expected to begin around 6 p.m.–11 p.m., with later closing times planned for some late-week and weekend nights. Final hours have not yet been announced.
