They have live gigs happening almost everyday and the venue looks super legit and underground. Raleigh overall is a beautiful place to be at and the Pour House just takes it up a notch, so if youre in this town the next time, make sure to visit this place. They have a great bar and a record store as well.

Went there to see The Fritz and I just say...I loved this place. Great atmosphere to hear live music. The staff was fantastic, crowded was into the music and the Bands were OUTSTANDING! We will definitely be back.

Great place for live music! Intimate, great bar selections, epic audio.

Great venue for artist and just a cool spot to enter into. Highly recommended if a show catches your eye

An amazing venue with great acoustics. Do not be turned off by its small size.

Really enjoyed this spot. Down and upstairs bars. Live music and an awesome bartender males for a great night. I would for sure return here if I lived in NC.

A Raleigh institution. An already great venue, the new record store and bar upstairs are a great addition. Come by on a weekend and hear great music for free and enjoy a beer while browsing their collection.

Always a great time. Cold affordable beer, wonderful bands, friendly staff. I always keep an eye out for who is playing the Pour House because they book some really wonderful acts.

Everytime I come here I have a good time. My friends perform here regularly and its always amazing and good energy.

Great acoustics good crowd upper level provides outstanding view which is also where the vinyl records and store is with couch as well as table seating to browse the catalogs. Great place to relax, enjoy and of course enjoy great love music.

As far as record stores go, this misses the mark a bit. Low selection, with high prices.

It was very clean. I really loved the local beer selection. It’s an amazing venue.

I’ve had many great times at this venue but last night will be my last visit.The door guy denied entry to me and my friend, both of whom had tickets and valid IDs, for no apparent reason. We were not rude or intoxicated, and are both over 21. He was extremely confrontational and interrogated us about our ages even though, again, both of us presented valid IDs. When we asked for an explanation of his behavior all he would say is that he had a “legal right to deny entry to anyone”.Not sure what his deal was but I’ll never spend money here again. Pour House stole my money and ruined my NYE just because the door guy was on an inexplicable power trip.

Pretty cool venue! Thursday is local bands and local beer night, so as a tourist, it was cool to check out. The acoustics and sound couldve been better in the second story loft area, but music was still enjoyable. Well definitely come back when were in Raleigh!

If you like live music & good beer, why arent you here? Check the postings for whos playing.

Great venue. I have seen many great shows here over the years.

Great venue, and now with the adjacent record store, even way cooler. Sound is top notch for a club that size. The Pour House is one of a handful of places that moved downtown before anyone and made Raleigh what it is today.

I must admit I can not remember the name of the bands, but it was an excellent music. Beer is 6 or 7 $ and the entrance 25$. A bit pricey but it was nice atmosphere. I liked it!

Hardest working bartender in Raleigh! Great music. Fun, civil crowd. Nice evening!

This is one of my favorite places in the Triangle to see smaller acts. There are two floors to view from. The bar carries a good selection of beer and alcohol. The corridor leading up to the door is cool for a fun photo opp. Always a good time at Pour House.

Amazing music, up close and personal. The drinks are priced fair and are always strong. The clientele are what you expect of this local favorite.... Happy to be out and enjoying company. Bi-level building. The alley entrance is as clever as it is on brand.

Great venue for a rock and roll show!

Great experience as usual!

We went there for Bass. Superb! Brilliant crowd and the live music is the best!

Excellent live music and record shop! Cant recommend it highly enough! Come out and have a great time!

The poor house was great, & unknown Hinson sounded just like he does on TV also his performance was great!

Great little bar. Got to see a really good show. Fair prices.

I got a concert invite from my friend and I decided to go. The main band was the movement . To get in you have to walk through a narrow hallway which actually seemed really cool. Walked in and the vibe was awesome. There was a good mix of males and females. Walked up to the bar and was greeted/ served promptly. I had the crank arm seasonal which was delicious. Met some other people there and had a blast dancing to the reggae beats. The music was really dope! Id definitely go back.

I havent been here in a hot minute...but wow! What a great experience. Totally worth it for anyone visiting Raleigh! Good drink selection, good amount of space inside. Great bands, as well! Awesome place for friends to get together!

Great vinyl selection and really chill atmosphere. Hope to make it to a show one day.

Good venue, dont book much I want to see.

Great beer selection.... good music... love it

Great concert spot. Up close and personal. Also an upstairs area. Full bar downstairs. Went to see my cousin perform reggae. Really enjoyed it!

It was during the week, but nice. Music, service, thumbs up. I was the proverbial old man in the club

Great music venue. BadCameo band was amazing

Cold beer, vinyl and live shows. What else do you need to know?

A great place to see local music! As a musician it’s much appreciated that this place is set up around the music, which the typical bar or brewery does not do. You can party and drink and mingle with other folks from the triangle but the main reason to go here is to check out some new interesting music.

Great venue! Bring ear plugs if over age 50.

A true venue with two levels of madness. The bottom level is where the bands play and has a well stocked bar. The second level is more chill, overlooking the stage and has a few pool tables too.

Good beer selection and a unique venue. Cover is perhaps a bit steep, but they pull some good bands even on a Tuesday. Worth a look if you are visiting Raleigh.

Aye! The greatest venue ever! Cant wait for that record shop!

Fun and more fun.

Saw Ghost Note. Great music. Crowd became a little rude and management should have handled that quickly. But the band did and was a great night.

Good music and they have cider. A win!

Great place to see live music and have some beers.

Another Raleigh gem! Great sound crew and great bartenders. Always a fun evening when you get to play this venue!

Awesome venue for a wedding reception! Although I also remember there are always a lot of amazing local bands that play here as well.

Great place to see live music. Sound guy is on point.

Good open music bar with good selection of beers. Cool upstairs seating area too.

Intimate place to see good live music.

Super cool place to catch a show!

They get the best bands in that little whole in the wall. Ive never been mistreated but its a fairly sketchy bar. I worry everytime I go in there, very dark, and cramped, but thats not necessarily a bad thing. Its easy to catch your favorite artists walking to the upstairs area for autographs and such after/during shows. Keep up the good shows!

Great Venue stop by and see a show!

Good sound. Not a lot of places to sit.

Great gig with Saxsquatch!

Great venue for great musical talent!

Cool venue with some really great staff!

Very chill atmosphere and friendly Bartenders!

Great venue for live music! Dont let the trek through the alley dissuade you. It is worth it!

Great venue for live music!

Cool venue, sweet record spot, good beer.

Always have a great experience at the Pour House!! Live music spot that offers a balcony view, pool tables upstairs, good drinks, an up close and personal feel always. Sunday Funday there as well features specials, food, and live entertainment unmatched in Raleigh to the heady crowd. ️

Great sound thank you Jack

Pour House has been my home base bar/venue in Raleigh really for as long as I have lived here. Great place to see local, regional, and national acts. The lineup seems to be the best in town month after month and the best in the triangle for clubs its size (Approx. 300 capacity).The staff and atmosphere is very inviting for people who both like to see live music and for musicians alike (I am both). Ownership is easily accessible and welcoming of any suggestion no matter how minor.Not to mention a great beer selection, fantastic central downtown location, and the best sound man in the biz.

Great beer, great bands, great service! Love this dive music hall!

Nice club for music. Good selection of taps with a number of local craft beer. Street parking can be a little tough, but theres a parking garage right behind the place!

The smell inside was horrible... the sweet mildew mix of an old bar.They advertised a Bloody Mary Bar for a Sunday afternoon which I was excited to try! Their selection to add to it however was so tiny that it never should have been advertised as a bar. The mix was spicy and the bar tender wasnt able to make one that wasnt spicy so you were S.O.L. if you didnt like the heat. The Bloody Mary itself was so thick and chunky that it was difficult to drink.

Im such a fan of this venue. The staff is friendly no matter the day or capacity. Its great for an intimate show downstairs or to hang out upstairs. Theres pool tables and seating with a nice balcony overlooking the stage.

Great little venue that has good shows, beer, and drinks. the upper level has some pool tables. Shows are fun when they are sold out, Im guessing top capacity is around 250.

One of the better alternative music venues in Raleigh. They consistently book good talent while offering opportunities for unknown local acts to perform on a good stage with a great PA. Good selection of beer and an upstairs where you can get out of the direct path of the noise.

Hole in the wall. Never been disappointed with any live band there. Always a fun place to hang out with a great selection of draft beer. No matter what band is performing the crowd is always fantastic.

Fun venue with a lot of great beers on tap. Nice to have a bartender who made great recommendations on small brewery beers. Music was fun. And the floor was not sticky from beer spills.

No frills, its a large room with a bar in the back and a good sound system. Plenty of taps, friendly bartenders. Sound is good albeit sometimes a bit loud for the size of the crowd. Venue allows you to be close to stage.

Nice venue, show was awesome!

One of the best places in Raleigh to catch the pulse of the music scene in town. Theyve got one of the largest beer and drink selections for a music venue, a great staff, and some of the best sound hands down of all the choices out there. On top of that, they are constantly bring in new acts, are open to burgeoning artists, and you are almost always guaranteed to see a dynamite show, regardless of what genre you may be into.So pick a night, head downtown, and check out one of my favorite stomping grounds!

Great variety, excellent food! I love this place!

Great venue and excellent musicians!

I had a chance to visit The Pour House Music Hall for the first time recently with a friend and thoroughly enjoyed the experience.When you visit you enter the hall through an alley off of Blount street. While you go through the large metal door be sure to take in the graffiti art and all the stickers on the door. Once inside youll have the bar in front of you and the stage will be to your right with restrooms to your left. On the left side of the stage there is another doorway that can take you outside or take you to a balcony view of the hall (there are also a couple of tables and a pool table in the balcony area).The owners do a really good job in bringing talent to their stage and the bartender was great! It would be nice if they served food some basic bar food, but aside from that the place is awesome and Ill be going back soon!

The atmosphere was very chill and overall it was a pleasant experience.

The Pour House has never disappointed - it can pull some awesome shows and offers an intimate concert experience! Be sure to catch a show at this low key venue tucked away in Downtown Raleigh, adjacent to Moores Square!

Great place to socialize and relax

Great spot, great cocktails, great music. What more could you ask for?

Ive come to sheet shows here many times over the years and always had a great time.

The Pour House is an older converted building, now used as a small two story music venue. Downstairs is a large bar with over 20 tap beers. They also feature a mostly full liquor selection. On the opposite end of the bar, there is a small stage. The best part about this venue is the small size. Its one of the most intimate venues in Raleigh for the top tier artists that play here. Upstairs theres a pool table, inactive bartop, as well as balcony railing to view the stage. They have several stand up tables surrounding the railing. My favorite spots are either right in front of the stage, or at the balcony railing. This place CAN get crowded on certain nights, but mostly its very navigable. Its 21 and over only for almost all events.

Probably the best music venue in Raleigh. They have a huge tap selection of craft brews and the staff is always friendly and fast on the pour. The entrance is a long dark brick hallway, and the first time I went I thought I was about to accidentally walk into a fight club, but I ended up discovering a top notch music venue and making a lot of friends along the way. A plus!

My band Infinity Fortress had a great time playing here.

Great intimate music venue!

Awesome people great bands

Great live music venue

Awesome venue to see bands!

Zipper was awesome. Good times

This place hasnt changed in years. Not a bad thing, not a good thing. Just a thing.

The Pour House Music Hall (aka The Pour House) is one of the cornerstone venues in downtown Raleigh for original music. Hosting nationally and regionally touring artists on a regular basis while also serving as a go-to venue for many of the areas premiere local acts, The Pour House is one of those places you can walk into any night of the week and expect to hear some good music. The owners and staff are super friendly and take pride in booking quality acts, and serving a wide variety of reasonably priced draft beers.As a local musician, The Pour House is one of my favorite places to play because of the convenient downtown Raleigh location accessible to some of the areas best restaurants, making it easy to grab a bite to eat before a show without having to drive. Its central location also makes luring people to shows a much simpler feat. Even with a 300+ capacity, the room still maintains an intimate, dive-bar feel conducive for all types of music. I highly recommend this venue to any music lover looking for a friendly place to hear some great bands without hurting your wallet.

Great venue! I love that its on the smaller side, makes for a more intimate show. And the drinks are great!!

Great bands local and national. Good beer selection. One of the best spots in Raleigh to caught a live show. The owner Adam is chill and runs the place right. Support local music!

Great place for enjoying live performance

I came here for Fat Tuesday last night. Not an good experience I did not feel welcome. I brought my first drink, the bartender continues to remind me the price of my drink before he makes it. I said that the price is cool (I am aware of the price of my drinks). Fast forward to my second another bartender continues to remind me that the drink is pricey. In which I said I know. Turned to my friend to discuss when I am continued to be reminded of the price of my drink. The bartender is all the way at the other end of the bar. He walks back and tell me that I do not need to be rude..(because I am having an conversation with my friend) He continues to be an straight ass. So I tell him not to make my drink. And we left afterwards.I will never be back. I paid $10 for my friend and I and this is the worst service I have experience.

There is nobody else to call for need bar tending service for any size function. We hired PourBar Services for our wedding and they were the one of the easiest Vendors to work with. Eric and Cara always responded to me immediately, met with me in-person at my convenience and worked with our other vendors very well. They are flexible, accommodating, friendly and very easy to work with. Eric and Cara are they very definition of Superior customer service.

Great small venue. Ill be back.

Needs more beer options but its a great venue.Clean bathrooms. Friendly staff.
