Raleigh Iron Works has had quite the expansion since its summer 2023 opening. The mixed-use development has welcomed a variety of tenants over the past year ranging from eateries to lifestyle businesses.

Since last March, the development has added two restaurants and a brewery. Chef Scott Crawford’s Brodeto focuses on southern Italian and Croation cuisine with a seafood-centered menu. Jaguar Bolera is an “eatertainment” concept with duckpin bowling, a self-serve tap wall, and elevated Mexican food. Ponysaurus Brewing Co. has 18 taps, a full bar, specialty pizzas, and more.

Up next to make a home of Raleigh Iron Works is Mami Nora’s a Peruvian chicken restaurant. The decade-old eatery will serve its classic rotisserie chicken and made-to-order items like Arroz Chaufa, Pollo Saltado, and Lomo Saltado.

Recent openings in the multi-use development include Hunky Dory, a beloved 919 vinyl store, Atlanta-based Tex-Mex restaurant Little Rey, and an expansion of The Flourish Market in the form of a coworking space. Flourish Coworking opened in October 2024 and is adjacent to the brand’s boutique.

Also, already on the roster is Urban Pothos for plant lovers, YoBa for yoga + barre exercise, high-intensity pilates studio Solidcore, East Cut Sandwiches, well-known dessert shop Andia’s Ice Cream, and Beatniks, a clothing store with fashions ranging from outdoor to skatewear.
