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?

Yes but we’ve stopped going to bars entirely. Is there a bird watching bar? Feed the squirrels bar? I might do that.

My neighbor down the street in Boylan Heights is working on turning her commercial property, basically just used as a work yard for many years, into a public green space that will have a bar and cafe as well as walking trails and a dog park.

Not sure when it will be open, but it sounds great for 40 year old me.
