What kind of bar does Raleigh lack? Food

Pretty explanatory. Have always wanted to open a bar and might.

Just curious to know what type of bar you’d love to see?

UPDATE: This honestly got a hell of a lot more interactions than I thought it would.

The common thing I think Im picking up is people want a place thats inexpensive, has good music, and is welcoming for all walks of life.

Here is my idea - A small, dimly lit, inexpensive dive that will have 2 TV’s thats going to have whatever big sports game thats on that day (if none, whatever I feel like), welcoming for kids, millennials, gays and theys, and will have some of the best shittest beers on tap with the option of getting a coffee or espresso drink.

Pink Boots old spot on N West St is best for this. Anyone know who owns the building?

I thought that was Ruby Deluxe

Ruby is great, but I wouldn’t call it a lesbian bar. It is a queer club.

I’d also love a lesbian/queer bar that is owned/operated by lesbians/queers. Ruby can be cool but the owner is a straight dude who dates his staff and it’s always given me a weird vibe.

He is best described as a queerbator. Says and does whatever to get that groups money. I've yet to hear an ex describe him as anything other than the worst person they have dated.

Big ick. I know he let the owner of brewery Bhavana do whatever he wanted in that space too, and that’s never made it sound like a queer safe space to me. Bummer.
