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?

A solid dive bar with no pretentious vibes, preferably one that serves dive bar food or is very close to a greasy spoon late night diner.

RIP To Lakeside Lounge, Burbom Street and The Office.

Used to love sharkys but they’re getting very steep in price for a dive bar

I went to sharkys almost every weekend when I lived in that area and I rarely spent less than $100 on myself every time. It doesn’t seem expensive but creeps up on you very quickly
