I got busy at The Bee

This post is for my wonderful friend, Taylor, who reads my blog every day. He is one of the masterminds behind the ever-successful and budding Busy Bee Cafe in Raleigh.

I'm always proud of myself when I broaden my horizons and extend my social network beyond the bubble of Chapel Hill. So I was exceptionally excited when a Saturday night landed me at the Busy Bee with a group of locals and a couple of guests, sampling the most recent Belgian ale on tap. Taylor was a proud papa showing off the new renovations and extended bar space that's sure to up their quota of hip, young socialites looking to score a beverage at the hottest bar in downtown Raleigh.

The Busy Bee is a part of local history and a destination for happy hour until last call. Not to mention their delicious food, the Bee has a plethora of delicious beverages. It's even a great place to meet up with friends or strangers... (I found a Craigslist "missed connection" for one of the BB bartenders. A distraught customer was hoping to make a love connection. I was hoping to be entertained so I passed it along. Long story short, she didn't call him.)

The night obviously led to dancing so we made our way upstairs to The Hive, the BB's crazy younger sister. After my pouched-out lips and swinging hair had entertained enough of the socialites, I bid adieu to my friends and promised that the Bee would make it to local townie.

Their 2 year anniversary is April 6... now that's cause for celebration! Love.
