What are some decent late (Saturday) night eats within 10 miles of PNC arena? I haven't been to Raleigh in nearly 20 years. Not really looking for bar/club/brewery atmosphere. I just want somewhere quiet-ish, safe, and again, decent.

I was gonna hit up Sushi Blues for old times sake, but nothing on ole Glenwood seems to be open after ~10PM.

Gravy

The Pit (if you like tourist trap barbecue)

Ruckus - Cary

Woody's - the one closest to PNC, not the Cary one

?

The one in Cary is like 10 minutes from PNC (4 miles)
the other one is downtown is like 20 minutes from the PNC

Maybe you were talking about the Morrisville one..

But I'd say that Woody's is definitely a bar atmosphere.

Correct. It's been like 8 years since I've been there. It is the Woody's on Chapel Hill Rd. I am confusing it with another restaurant. They are bar atmosphere.

It's a bar, but not like a downtown bar. The recently renovated (don't worry, everything's still in there) Player's Retreat is open til 1am on Saturday.

Mitch's has gotten a bit squirrely since the new owners. They're trying to fill the void left behind by East Village and have really gone after that crowd.

Oof, that's disappointing. They really don't have the bathroom for that. I haven't been there in years but keep meaning to go back. I assume it's cool during lunch / normal dinner hours?

Yeah, there's still plenty of old head regulars in there who want no part of it.
