Standard Beer + Food

What Standard Beer + Food does

Standard Beer + Food is an independently owned Raleigh, North Carolina restaurant group operating two physical locations: Person Street (the original, first-come-first-serve craft beer and food venue at 205 E. Franklin St) and the North Hills Innovation District (NHID, a full-service dining room with raw bar and curated wine list at 560 St Albans Dr). The company targets two distinct customer segments within the same metro: local neighborhood regulars seeking a casual taproom experience at Person Street, and dining-out consumers seeking a planned, reservation-friendly experience at NHID. The company serves locally sourced food complemented by in-house brewed craft beer, natural wines, and craft cocktails.

The core product offering is built on an in-house custom brewing program located at Person Street, featuring 30+ rotating taps spanning crisp lagers through stouts, double IPAs, and barrel-aged beers. The full brewing process — malting, milling, mashing, extract separation, hop addition, boiling, cooling, aeration, fermentation, yeast separation, and aging — is performed on-site, with new recipes workshopped after hours. Standard holds Craft Malt Certification and sources malt exclusively from Riverbend Malt House in Asheville, with a stated emphasis on North Carolina terroir. Food is sourced from a named regional supply network including Raleigh City Farms, Joyce Farms, Fox Farm & Forage, and Meyer Market, with craft beverage collaborations with High Wire Distilling, Cellarest, Neuse River Brewing, and Steel String.

The business model is conventional dine-in restaurant revenue: per-cover food and beverage sales at two physical locations, with gift cards sold through Toasttab as a secondary transaction stream and reservations accepted via Resy at NHID. There is no e-commerce food platform, no third-party delivery integration, no catering program, and no wholesale distribution in the source material. The company is privately held, with 8 employees on record, no disclosed funding, no parent company, and no public stock listing. Growth is described as locally driven through neighborhood word-of-mouth, organic Instagram presence, and the dual-format dining concept.
