Bogart's American Grill and Bar

Earlier this century, a couple of regular Joes (actually, one was Dean and the other one was Kevin) had a dream. Why not open a restaurant that would let people check their troubles at the door, sit down in a cozy booth and get lost in an aged Angus steak, grilled to perfection and a chilled martini? Their first restaurant, Michael Dean's Wood Oven & Seafood Grill, was already a bona-fide North Raleigh mainstay. This time they set their sights on downtown. Turns out they weren't the only ones with this dream. Regular Joes and Janes from all over came streaming in to experience the outstanding food, service and unique atmosphere. After dinner on the weekends, the bar heats up and the joint gets jumping with the area's best party bands. On Sundays, our jazz brunch has something to feed your ears and your appetite. And our Blue Monday special gives couples one of the best deals in town, and a reason to look forward to another week.
