Exclusive First Look at Trophy Five Points

A first look at Trophy’s upcoming taproom & restaurant

Raleigh, meet Trophy Five Points. Few F&B announcements have yielded the fanfare of Trophy’s blue Electric Supply Co. building takeover. 

A Five Points East icon embedded in Raleigh’s history, Trophy’s foothold on the mammoth ~22K-square-foot iconic now-defunct blue warehouse at once sates Raleigh’s thirst while tapping into the collective cry for outposts that retain her unique Southern charm and herald her into her fortuitous future.

The brewer behemoth’s eighth outpost—first dubbed “Trophy Brewing Outpost” in its fledgling conceptual days—is slated to tap the keg on its highly anticipated dual taproom and restaurant early 2026 after breaking ground as soon as early this year.

Transforming the space, the taproom will be stocked with 10+ taps sporting Trophy’s prized brews and out-of-state collabs, with cocktails and vino to boot, not to mention a full restaurant that promises to live in your mind rent-free long after the last bite. While bevs won’t be brewed on-site, barrel-aging Trophy products in the famed blue building is in the cards.

Ample outdoor seating a la the Trophy way will accommodate hungry Raleighites via the “front porch”—as Trophy co-owner Chris Powers calls the outpost’s huge front patio—in the back greenspace with bonus room to let the kids roam, as well as in a large indoor dining area. Feeding the frenzy will be a menu akin to the Trophy Brewing & Pizza on Morgan—except more extensive. Think pizzas, natch, and other fan faves from the F&B kings. 

For those further looking to relish in the vibe, there’s a flexible 9K-square-foot space for events and community-building, says Powers—as is also the Trophy team way via such concepts as Maywood Hall & Garden. (Um, who’s ready to party?!) 

And, altogether, what the concept really brings is community—and a welcome addition to a now burgeoning walkable Five Points East district already boasting the likes of Ajja, Bright Spot Donuts and Tap Yard—not to mention a host of existing breweries: Neuse River Brewing & Brasserie, Lynnwood Brewing Concern and Nickelpoint Brewing Company. So, perhaps a draw the likes of Asheville’s Brewery District emerging?

“We are excited to become a part of the Five Points neighborhood, and to be making such an iconic building our home,” muses Powers. “Five Points presents such a great opportunity to be a part of a vibrant neighborhood.” And Raleigh is clearly here for it. @trophyfivepoints
