The Station at Person Street, the low-slung, patio-heavy hangout that helped put Person Street on Raleigh’s dining map, will serve its last rounds on March 8 after 12 years in business. Owner Hibernian Group announced on Instagram that the bar and restaurant will host two final weekends, then shut down for a full renovation. Once the dust settles, a new concept is set to take over the familiar corner spot, leaving regulars to savor the final stretch of burgers, patio nights and late-night crowds.
Hibernian posts closure notice
As reported by the News & Observer, Hibernian Group’s Instagram post confirmed that The Station will close on March 8, with “two more big weekends” planned before the shutdown. The company said a full restaurant renovation is scheduled to start on March 9, and that a new concept will move into the space when the work is finished. The message thanked staff and regulars, and cast the break as part of a larger reinvention rather than a final goodbye to the address itself.
Owners reflect on 12 years
“For more than a decade, the Station has been a place for first dates, post-game burgers, family dinners, late night laughs, and familiar faces at the bar,” owners wrote, according to the News & Observer. The statement paired nostalgia with a forward-looking spin, describing the closure as a chance to refresh the space. The owners did not immediately share details about staffing plans or whether current managers will remain involved during or after the renovation.
A neighborhood favorite since 2014
The Station opened in 2014 in a converted Amoco station and quickly settled in as a go-to for laid-back, patio-centered dining in the Person Street district. Station Raleigh highlights outdoor seating, fire pits and menu staples like the Station Burger as core to its identity. Local directories and downtown guides have long listed the spot among the neighborhood’s reliable picks for burgers and casual weekend nights out.
Where to find a replacement burger
With The Station closing, burger loyalists will not have to look far for a backup plan. Local guides point to neighborhood standbys like Burger Village, Raleigh Times, Parkside and CowBar as solid options. Roundups and food maps from outlets such as This Is Raleigh and Eater Carolinas spotlight other Triangle favorites when a burger craving hits. For those who have made The Station part of their routine, owners suggest using the next two weekends as a final lap.
Hibernian says details about the replacement concept will be shared later, and neighbors are watching for updates once renovation work kicks off. This story will be updated as more information becomes available.
