Boatman Spirits Co.
Raleigh's destination for bold Mediterranean flavors and handcrafted cocktails at Seaboard Station
Born from a deep love of the Mediterranean coast and North Carolina's craft spirit tradition, Boatman Spirits Co. brings the soul of the sea to downtown Raleigh. Tucked into the historic Seaboard Station, our space channels the energy of waterfront tavernas with warm wood textures, weathered copper details, and the soft glow of nautical lanterns. Every spirit on our shelves tells a story—from small-batch gins infused with coastal botanicals to barrel-aged rums that capture Carolina sunshine. Our menu celebrates the vibrant flavors of Greece, Spain, and Italy: crispy halloumi kissed with honey and thyme, grilled octopus with smoked paprika, and lamb kebabs brightened with preserved lemon. Behind the bar, our mixologists blend house-made syrups and local herbs into cocktails that honor both tradition and invention. Whether you're lingering over mezze and wine or celebrating with a round of craft spirits, Boatman Spirits Co. delivers the warmth, rhythm, and unmistakable flavor of the Mediterranean right here in Raleigh.
Experience our signature Mediterranean small plates paired with an extensive list of handcrafted cocktails, local beers, and an expertly curated wine selection. Our bar program features house-infused spirits, seasonal punches, and zero-proof creations for every guest. Enjoy weekend brunch with bottomless mimosas, weekday happy hour featuring discounted mezze and signature drinks, and private event spaces perfect for celebrations, corporate gatherings, or intimate dinners. Take home a bottle of our exclusive Boatman Spirits—small-batch gin, rum, or amaro crafted on-site. Our team offers spirit tastings, cocktail workshops, and guided pairings that turn any evening into an unforgettable Mediterranean escape.
