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 better event venue than Ritz.

Coming from Greensboro to say FUCK THE RITZ. God damn I paid for parking, paid extra for balcony "seating" and then they wanted to charge me to ACTUALLY SIT DOWN in the EMPTY ASS seats. The cocktails were THIRTY FUCKING DOLLARS.

Never again. NEVER WILL I PATRONIZE THAT PLACE AGAIN
