Kings is a live music oriented bar located in downtown Raleigh, NC. The three owners of Kings play(ed) in various bands and figured that Raleigh needed a good venue where you could hang and drink cold beer, play some cool video games as well as pool/foosball, and see good live music. So after spending much more money than they intended, Kings was born. Come check it out for yourself.

IMPORTANT NOTE: We are now a Private Membership Club. That means you have to be a member or a guest of a member in order to enter. This is not as big a deal as it sounds. If you are coming from out of town to a show, don't worry, just sign in as a guest when you get to the door. YOU HAVE TO HAVE A VALID ID, however. We welcome you to become a member. Members get discounts on every single cover charge, and we run other specials for our members, too. These are all laws we are obeying because the Great State of North Carolina requires us to.

Age Policy: Some nights are 21 and up, but the majority of Kings shows are all ages. Check the listing and if you need more info, call ahead to make sure.
