The Players Retreat, Raleigh- 105 Oberlin Road, Raleigh
Expect a sense of tradition and camaraderie when you walk through the doors of The Players' Retreat. Locals refer to this establishment as the PR. It's been called that since it opened in 1951 by Bernie and Mickey Hanula. Known for their burgers and brew, the PR uses only black Angus beef…ground on site. They even give you the option to order it rare! But can they get any fresher? Oh yes…a seafood selection that's never frozen. That's a PR promise!
