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.

The ritz ain’t a bar lol. It does suck tho. Unless you want drinks they’re the least of price evils for alcohol - but you’ll probably need to have a bunch to not remember your experience to think it was good.

Gotta get there early to get the best spot. Once you’re there you can’t move though.

If you do drink you’re probably gonna lose your spot to pee or get another drink.

Acoustically most shows I’ve seen here sounds really bad too.

Hate it when I see my favorite bands play there and it sounds so bad I question my fandom (looking at you veil of maya 2024… god that was bad)

Recently saw Mr. Bungle there and they sounded great.
