About Blinco's Sports Bar and Restaurant

Blinco's Restaurant was established in 1996 by Jim Blinco and Oakie Yoneoka, who opened their doors just as Hurricane Fran hit the Triangle. Some how, some way, with most of Raleigh without power, the restaurant managed to hum with the sound of neon lights and the glow of a mere 14 televisions. The made-from-scratch food, neighborhood atmosphere and outstanding service staff was an instant success.

Now, more than a decade later, not only do we have more than three times as many televisions and twice as much space, we still are committed to quality homemade food and outstanding service.

Jim and Oakie would like to thank all of our patrons, friends, and staff who have helped make Blinco's what it is today.

Beer and Drinks

We carry a wide variety of domestic, imported, and micro brew and craft beers. Keep checking back with us on which local and national craft beers we will feature in our rotating taps. As always, please feel free to e-mail us at eat@blincos.com for any suggestions of beer selections you would like to see us carry.

We now proudly serve beers from a new local brewery, Big Boss Brewery. Please visit their web site at

www.bigbossbrewing.com. Big Boss Brewing, in our humble opinion, has a selection of brews that make any beer drinker proud to call Raleigh home.

Also, we want to give big thanks to our buddies from the thriving metropolis of Holly Springs, NC at the Carolina Brewing Company (www.carolinabrew.com) for their support and for supplying us with their quality beverages.
