After a very long wait, the Boylan Bridge Brewpub will finally open its doors at 3 p.m. today.
Proprietor Andrew Leager said he's excited to finally begin serving customers his custom-brewed beer. (Pictured here from left to right: "Gateway Golden," "Rail Pale Ale," "Bruno Bitter," "Polar Bear Winter Beer," "Pullman Porter" and "Southbound Stout.")
The brewpub at 201 S. Boylan Ave. has been a long time coming. It was originally supposed to open in summer 2006 as the Sidetrack Brewpub, but Leager had to ditch that name after he found out it was already trademarked by another business.
When I spoke to him today, Leager — in typically understated fashion — simply said, "It's been a long haul."

Very dog friendly outdoor deck and STAFF

It is so nice to find another place to bring your dog to on the weekends! The beer was great, in fact, I highly recommend their Red.
The service was wonderful. The owner came outside to talk to us, introduce himself and admire our daschund. He played with her and then told us how he wanted patrons to know that they were a completely dog-friendly establishment! This is rare in Raleigh, so I recommend taking your pooch when you have the time. Bravo!
