Who said Tuesdays have to be boring? Not Raleigh! April 15 is serving up the perfect after-work vibe for anyone looking to blow off steam, flex some brainpower, or just vibe out to live music. Whether you’re downtown-bound or just looking for a reason to stay out past 7, Raleigh’s got you covered.

Here’s your ultimate Tuesday night game plan:

4:30 p.m. – 9 p.m. | After Work Social at Slim’s

Kick things off with a classic after-work hang at Slim’s Downtown. Cold drinks, chill crowd, and that “I survived another workday” energy. Whether you roll in solo or bring the crew, this is your pregame spot.

9 p.m. – 11:45 p.m. | Open Mic + Live Band Jam at Slim’s

And don’t leave Slim’s just yet—stick around for the Open Mic with a Live Band Jam Session. Got talent? Grab the mic. Just want to watch? Grab a drink and soak in Raleigh’s raw, homegrown music scene. It’s unpredictable, electric, and always a good time.

7:30 p.m. – 9 p.m. | Trivia at Morgan Street Food Hall

Think your team’s got what it takes to rule trivia night? Slide over to Morgan Street Food Hall and bring your A-game. There’s food, drinks, and plenty of head-scratching questions—aka the perfect combo.

7:00 p.m. – 10 p.m. | Trivia at Wolfe & Porter

Or if you’re feeling fancy, head to Wolfe & Porter for another round of Tuesday night trivia. A little more low-key, a lot of fun. Bonus points for punny team names and obscure facts.

Pro tip: No need to choose just one—start early, hop around, and make a night of it.
