Read about Element and plan your next visit
The Element Gastropub blog brings together stories about our plant-based kitchen, bar and downtown Raleigh setting. Browse the published posts on this page for the subjects that interest you. A story can help you explore a dish, a beer style or an occasion, but it is not a substitute for current menu information. Check the publication date and follow the links to the relevant restaurant page before making plans.
For food choices and prices, start with the menu rather than an older article. The kitchen is fully plant-based, with Southern comfort food and pub favorites. Our vegan restaurant guide answers common questions about that approach, including how to discuss allergies with the team. A seasonal dish or event mentioned in a post may belong to an earlier menu, and an old promotion should not be treated as an active offer.
If you are planning your day around a visit, the lunch and brunch pages are the useful next stops. Weekday lunch runs Monday through Friday from 11am to 2pm, with kettle chips and a fountain soda included with every handheld and burger at the regular price. Sunday brunch runs from 11am to 3pm. Saturday breakfast is a separate service from 8am to 11am. The contact page lists the restaurant’s full operating hours.
For announced public gatherings, use the Events page, where Theme Trivia with Hanette is separate from private bookings. Upcoming themes and ticket details appear as announced; a dated blog post is not confirmation of a new event. For catering or a private celebration, use the relevant inquiry form to discuss the date, guest count and service needs. Element is at 421 Fayetteville Street, Suite 103, on City Plaza in downtown Raleigh.
