Wow! Such a cool, unique spot! At first we thought it was just a bar that also had a kitchen. It was very packed because there was a show at the neighboring uptown amphitheater. You walk in and there's long banquet-style picnic tables to eat and drink at, so it's very communal. Plenty of space to find seating. We got the chicken bratwurst and tater tots with fire sauce. The bratwurst wasn't the greatest but that's most likely because it was chicken... so can't really blame VBGB.. But the tots were delicious. Loved the dipping sauce they came with. Not that spicy, but still flavorful.
Only after we finished eating did we realize they have a HUGE outdoor seating area in the back, complete with about 4-6 sand volleyball courts! Music was pumping through the stereos throughout, everyone's having a good time playing volleyball or the giant jenga and giant connect four, corn hole, and of course an outdoor bar too. It was so cool! I'm so jealous that we don't have anything even close to the vgbg concept in raleigh! This place was packed in a good way. Definitely a fun hangout spot to play, drink, talk, eat, whatever!
