Shutting down?

That place was a shit hole. RIP

11/1/2013 1:03:54 PM

Can you imagine the number of rats that would scurry out of that place if it got bulldozed?

11/1/2013 1:05:23 PM

WOW. Although I kinda knew this would happen eventually, it's still hard to believe. I can't even count how many awesome nights I had at this place. Always the go-to place on thursdays, and sometimes saturdays after a football game. The best days were when people played beer pong with beer, and you could smoke inside.

are we talking about the pool hall?

11/1/2013 1:13:29 PM

So Hillsborough Street gets revitalized just in time for the bar scene to move downtown.

Who's left? EV? That pub in the old Porter's? Mitch's and PR are givens. Who else?

11/1/2013 1:18:09 PM

There's a new place called The Keg. By 2 guys pizza I think

[Edited on November 1, 2013 at 1:19 PM. Reason : Well "new" meaning it's been there a couple years ]

11/1/2013 1:18:46 PM

^^The Keg & The Alley. Can't think of anything else, though I'm sure I'm missing something.

Pool hall staying open.

I'll remember most the awful shits I had the Friday after dollar night from the infested tap lines.

11/1/2013 2:17:19 PM

Probably condemned from all of the piss against the alley foundation crumbling the concrete.

pool hall put in a bunch of money into a re-vamp, finally got their real liquor license (not just beer and sparks), and is a pretty fun place to hang out- assuming you like pool or darts, or hanging out with people who do.

11/1/2013 2:35:30 PM

^^^ why drink beer for a dollar when you can drink liquor for a dollar.

11/1/2013 2:52:53 PM

it was all nasty.


the worst part was watching people play beer pong without water cups and watching a ball go from the floor to a person's cup and that cup to the person's mouth in a matter of seconds

11/1/2013 2:56:29 PM

I will never forget the summer of 2000, spending every evening at EV or PBs.

RIP

11/1/2013 3:24:44 PM

The bathroom that people used to just piss on the wall.

11/1/2013 4:12:01 PM

damn, 2001-2003 was a shit show. PBs damn near every dollar night. I felt like I was robbing them blind by ordering $1 makers mark....but the joke was probably on me if they refilled the empties with Walmart brand whiskey

11/1/2013 4:22:05 PM

a buddy of mine bit a dude's ear off there (he got a bit outta control when he got drunk)

11/1/2013 4:31:30 PM

You can make money on dollar drinks with no furniture and a bar upfit made of plywood.

I once saw people doing this exact thing, except to make it worse, the toilets in the bathroom were overflowing and there was about an inch of toilet water covering the entire bar floor.

when I lived off of Douglas St behind the Cup of Joe parking lot, I used to hear some great fights every week at around 230 am Friday morning

11/1/2013 4:54:29 PM

my favorite part was the non-functioning disco ball that a bartender would occasionally reach up and spin or poke

11/1/2013 5:33:48 PM

RIP. Plenty of good times at this joint.

11/1/2013 6:29:34 PM

RIP. Many a dollar night spent in this joint. And yes the "bathrooms" probably shoulda had the place condemned years ago

11/1/2013 7:22:14 PM

Petition to save PB's?

11/1/2013 8:05:30 PM

11/1/2013 8:12:02 PM

john kane don't give a fuck about no petition

11/1/2013 10:55:00 PM

This was a scuzy place for sure

11/1/2013 11:30:44 PM

Tonight is their final night, given the extra hr from day light savings wonder how wasted people are getting.

I wonder if they'd let me puke on the rubble, for old time's sake
