Good news, Raleigh, there’s a new local spot for sipping + snacking before takeoff.

Carolina Craft, a new open bar concept with a curated menu that celebrates all things North Carolina, just touched down in Terminal 2 at RDU.

From specialty cocktails and locally brewed craft beers to dips, spreads, and custom charcuterie boards, you’ll find familiar Carolina flavors with an elevated twist in every dish + drink.

We’re especially excited about the Carolina Class Act: A mouthwatering ensemble of premium prosciutto, zesty olive tapenade, creamy burrata, and a freshly baked baguette (from Union Special, of course).

Traveling with little ones? Carolina Craft has you covered with cookies, fruit cups, and non-alcoholic drinks to keep everyone happy. Plus, every item on the North Carolina Oak Board menu is available to go, making it easy to bring your faves along for the flight.

Stop by and see for yourself next time you’re at RDU.
