Have you heard about the newest gathering spot in downtown Raleigh? The Bend Bar and State of Beer opened at the end of 2024 at 853 West Morgan Street, between Irregardless Cafe and Trophy Brewing & Pizza. Pop-Up Raleigh’s newest Trophy collaboration opened in April 2025. Sunset Social at The Bend, is a casual gathering space that connects local creatives with the Raleigh community. Once at month you can expect to find original art, pottery, sweet treats, fashion, woodworking and small batch goods nestled between the expansive decking and twinkle lights. Sunset Social dates are April through October, 4th Thursdays, 5-8pm. After a successful 2025 season, we cannot wait to sip cocktails, support local creatives and gather while the sun sets on the Raleigh skyline again in 2026.
The next Sunset Social is May 28th, 5-8pm. We will be posting the participating vendors soon.
If you are interested in participating in Sunset Social at The Bend, the spring 2026 vendor application link is HERE. Follow us on Facebook and Instagram for participating vendors and event updates. If you are a Pop-Up Raleigh fan, we will still be at Trophy on Maywood monthly, March through December. Cheers to another great year of gathering!
