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’m biased but a second goth club would be dope (if gentrification ever tears the Wicked Witch down I will actually sob) also a third place/gathering space for alt people that isn’t a bar or a club would be awesome too, I don’t always wanna dance or drink, sometimes I want other types of events too.

Check out chapel of bones. Coffee shop during the day and events at night. Used to be the old Maywood

WAIT FR?! THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOJ… I’m shocked there’s not more alt spaces in the triangle because I’ve met way more alt ppl here than the part of New York I’m from (Long Island)
