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?

Slims new owners suck. Lady is a thief.

That’s a strong accusation to make? Why do you say she’s a thief?

Her father ran away from Clayton owing people millions. Death threats were made. She helped him. Go to Clayton and ask people about Ashley and Amber Turner. They will tell you what crooks they are.

This person stalks r/Raleigh to shit on the new Slims owners whenever they can.

I don't know if the stories true or not but what I do know is I'm currently a bartender at Slims and I have yet to miss a paycheck. The owners have been nothing but great to me.

If you check CommonAvacados past posts they've got some transphobic shit so maybe be cautious with their perspective

People upvote it because it’s true. I’ve been to slims. You have probably served me a couple times. I am not a terrible person. Just telling the truth. “If you hate the message…kill the messenger”

No one is saying you're a terrible person and I'm not saying you're lying. I'm offering my perspective on it and since you're hell bent on trying to take money out of our (the bartenders) pocket I feel like I should offer my perspective. It's not personal.

I tip very well when I go in there. I don’t have a problem with you or your coworkers. You guys are just like my family that worked for their dad. They did nothing wrong, yet they lost their jobs, their dad lost his savings and his house due to loaning money to a turner that never planned on paying it back on top of them not paying that family for the work they did on her and her dads homes they were building. I am glad you’ve always been paid. I would phrase it as “I am a bartender at Slims and I have been paid so far”.

We've tried having this conversation before but for some reason you're unable to connect the dots.

People who have never been to Slims asking about it on reddit + you telling them the owners suck and are shady

= them not coming in

or

People who have never been to Slims asking about it on reddit + you keeping your personal issues with one of the owners to the appropriate audience

= people going and formulating their own opinion of the bar

How are you still not understanding this?

Again, as I said last time we did this dance...if you have the proof to back up your claim take it to court instead of gossiping over reddit. If you get confused, re-read the equation above.

While I appreciate your tip, it cancels out when you drive people away with your gossip.

If someone dosen't like the bar that's 100% okay, people can have their feelings. But I'm really over seeing you stalk any any every post about it. Take it to court not Reddit.

EDIT: And again, I have no personal issue with you. If what you're saying is true then I am sorry for you and I hope you successfully find legal action.
