Vegetarian Dinner Worth Going Out For

Meat-free comfort food, craft cocktails, and Glenwood South energy

A vegetarian dinner in Raleigh usually means scanning the menu for the one meat-free entrée. At The Dirty V, dinner means the entire menu is yours—smash burgers, crispy chik'n, loaded fries, mac and cheese, signature cocktails, and dessert shakes. Open nightly at 301 Glenwood Ave in the heart of Glenwood South, we're the dinner spot where vegetarians finally get to choose.

Dinner at The Dirty V hits different because nothing on the menu is off-limits. Vegetarians can build the full night—shareables to start (Bavarian pretzel, onion rings, fried pickles), a stacked burger or buffalo chik'n sando for the main, a side of triple cheese mac, and a boozy shake or slice of house-made cake to finish. Add signature cocktails, local drafts, and cannabis-infused drinks from the bar, and it's a complete dinner experience that happens to be entirely meat-free.

The Dirty V is built for dinner plans of every kind. Date night? Dim the lights with cocktails and share a fry tray. Group dinner? Mixed tables of vegetarians, vegans, and meat-eaters all order happily off the same menu. Pre-show or pre-bar? We're steps from Glenwood South's nightlife, so dinner rolls straight into the rest of the night. Late finish? Weekend late-night hours keep the kitchen going long after most of Raleigh closes.

Located at 301 Glenwood Ave in Downtown Raleigh with free street parking after 5pm nearby, The Dirty V makes vegetarian dinner easy. No reservations needed—walk in any night, or order the full dinner menu online for takeout and delivery.
