Hibernian derives from the Latin term Hibernia, which means “one who comes from Ireland” or “cold, wet land.” The Hibernian Pubs were aptly named, as we wanted to bring a wee bit of Ireland to the Triangle. The Hibernian Restaurants & Pubs celebrate the old world flavor and the new vibrancy of Ireland. Carrying on with Irish tradition, we offer an atmosphere that infuses the alluring and relaxing nature of an authentic Irish social club and the warmth of a Gaelic home kitchen. All of the locations bring the traditional Irish pub experience to the Triangle. Our dark wood interiors, full of cozy nooks and beautifully sculpted bars will transport you into Ireland. We proudly cater to all walks of life here in North Carolina. On any day you will find families, friends, sports fans, and professionals who are all visiting us to talk, debate, laugh, drink and eat.

    **Restaurant Review: Northside Bistro** Northside Bistro is a fantastic addition to the North Raleigh dining scene, offering an upscale yet welcoming atmosphere that makes you feel right at home. Whether it’s a special occasion or a casual evening out, the ambiance strikes the perfect balance between refined and relaxed. When we visited, the restaurant was bustling with activity—a clear sign of its popularity. Despite being busy, the food arrived promptly without any delays, which was impressive. It’s evident that the kitchen and staff work seamlessly to maintain a high standard of service even during peak hours. The food itself was exceptional. From the warm, freshly baked bread to the decadent desserts, everything was a delight. The Caesar salad was a surprising highlight, with a dressing that stood out as one of the best I’ve ever tasted. The Beef Wellington was another standout, perfectly prepared with tender, flavorful meat encased in a flaky, golden crust. Every dish was well-crafted and full of flavor, making it clear that quality and attention to detail are top priorities. The service was another high point. Friendly and attentive without being overbearing, the staff ensured we had everything we needed and checked in at just the right moments. Even with a full house, the team delivered a smooth and enjoyable dining experience. While the prices lean toward the higher side, the value is undeniable. My family and I left feeling not just satisfied but genuinely happy. Northside Bistro goes beyond serving great food—it creates a memorable experience that makes you want to return. If you’re looking for a place with delicious food, excellent service, and a welcoming vibe, Northside Bistro is a top choice in North Raleigh. It’s well worth a visit.

    We discovered when we got to the restaurant that they were closing tonight for good. Kind of disappointing. Nice restaurant but this review is a moot point.
