The futuristic nightclub took over the former Coglin’s establishment, which closed on Dec. 31, 2020 due to restrictions on bars during the COVID-19 pandemic.

Zenith Raleigh Highlights:

Throwback tunes
Décor incorporates current pop culture references related to books, movies + comic books

Indoor seating + bar
TVs showing sporting events
Front + back patios

Hours of operation:

Current Zenith Raleigh partner Will Gibbs — the former general manager of Coglin’s — shared with the Triangle Business Journal that he has brought back some former Coglin’s staff members + DJ’s. He also noted that the bar will keep its love for 80s and 90s culture, but will shift towards incorporating more pop culture themes across different eras.

You can also check out the Zenith Raleigh shop — offering various Zenith Raleigh + downtown Raleigh-related apparel items — here.
