Kaci and a friend
I happened to walk by Sadlack’s last Saturday when walking my dog and a friend, Kaci, called my name and I decided to hang out and have a beer. She is on a frisbee team (disc golf?) and the team was celebrating at Sadlack’s. I happened to have my camera with me (I almost always do) so I hung out and took some pics.
According to their blog,
For over 30 years, Sadlacks has served Raleigh’s best and freshest heroes (including legendary vegetarian selections) while entertaining the populace with the region’s finest live musical entertainment.
Best sandwiches. Dog-friendly. Relaxed casual atmosphere. Prime real estate. What else do you need?

This post is going to be a bit lengthier than usual. Sadlack’s Heroes is a bar/venue/sandwich joint on Hillsborough Street. Several months ago they did a complete renovation which was pretty much knocking down the previous building and rebuilding it in a similar fashion. It has plenty of outdoor seating. Normally I don’t do sandwiches for dinner, but this place wins an exception every time. In my opinion, they have hands down
THE BEST sandwich in Raleigh. I also don’t do fried foods, but their homemade chips (or fries) are so tasty that they are worth the unhealthiness that goes with fried items.
The location is a favorite for me personally, as it’s about a 2 minute walk from my house. Additionally, the location provides a great bird’s eye view of the Bell Tower intersection of Hillsborough St. Perhaps the biggest reason I am such a fan of this place is that it is a dog-friendly establishment (outside, anyhow). I generally pass by this place when walking the pup, and it’s neat that often there will be a dog or two hanging out on the patio for mine to play with.

One more of Fayetteville St. in the rain.
The quality of this pic is pretty low because the rain was shifting in all directions (including on my lens!) so I didn’t want to stick around for a long exposure.
According to godowntownraleigh.com,
In addition to bringing RBC Centura’s corporate headquarters to downtown Raleigh, the tower will offer additional office space for lease, as well as retail space and for-sale residential condominiums. It is expected to be completed in late 2008.
and …
Standing 540 feet tall, RBC Plaza will be the tallest building in downtown Raleigh and will encompass more than 730,000 gross square feet of space, including office and retail space, parking and 11 stories of residential condominiums.
Looking down on East Martin Street.
Pictured above is the area around Fayetteville St. near the Wachovia Building during a rare rainstorm. The building in the center is home to Fayetteville Street Tavern.
Same perspective as the last post, just a wider viewing area. Expect several more rain photos over the coming days!
The area above is the City Market area, near Moore Square.
