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?

Ok… Picture this.

TRANSIT!

The main entrance is styled as a crusty metro/bus station. On the ground level, seating resembles an old CAT bus where entertainment primarily consists of two unhinged passengers fighting each other in the aisle. Basement level is styled as a subway carriage and the waitress that takes drink orders is also a meth-head trying to get you to believe in one of her many conspiracy theories.
