Goodnight Raleigh - a look at the art, architecture, history, and people of the city at night

A Night At The Riviera



Dan and Christiana celebrating their fifth anniversary at The Riviera.

Back in August I posted about Mr. Dynamite Deluxe in front of the Riviera. It was also around this time that I first met David from New Raleigh, also in front of the Riviera.
It’s a great environment, and they take great care to create the right mood. Upstairs there is a DJ playing dance music that gives a more urban night club feel, whereas the bar area was more of a relaxed wine bar. I think it is a nice blend of contrasts.

I’ve never been to the nightclub upstairs (bit too smoky for my tastes), but Riviera is definitely a spot in downtown I can always count on for a nice tasty meal. Particularly if I’m nearby and don’t have a reservation for anyplace, Riviera is one of the best for “squeezing” you in.
