Dunno what's in it, but it tastes exactly like Cheerwine. SO GOOD.

1/11/2010 5:03:04 PM

def delicious but made me feel like poop

or maybe it was the vodka grapefruit

mmmmm grapefruit

1/11/2010 5:03:48 PM

i miss jackpot pool


waiting for 3 hours to play a game of cutthroat

1/11/2010 5:04:23 PM

for a second i thought you meant the mass exodus from the jackpot to the brownstone pool every weekend in the summer

1/11/2010 5:10:04 PM

there was no exodus

1/11/2010 5:10:55 PM

when we were sitting in slims last night we realized that it was our 4 year anniversary

WHOOPS

"i went home"

is that what you call my place? I have to say, from a sober persons perspective, it looked like a kick ass party because everyone was so trashed they looked like they were trying to walk around on a ship in high seas

*walk walk wobble in an un-strait line to the right, leeeeeeeean, walk walk in an un-strait line to the left, lean up against a wall, wobble wobble, walk in another diagonal line, run into something....*

some of yall must have felt awesome this morning!

It has been quite a while since I've been to Jackpot

One of Van's (our owner) top 3 favorite things in the whole entire world is Cheerwine. He'd have people bring him cases in Honduras when they came to visit him during his 5-year stay.

He just went out of town for 3 weeks and I mentioned that it'd be a great welcome-back present if he walked in and the specials board had "CHEERWINE SHOT" on it. Several Vicks-44-tasting failures later, I think we nailed it.

Statutory Grape, on the other hand ...

1/12/2010 2:55:09 PM

^I need to try one of those

1/12/2010 2:56:38 PM

mmmm cheerwine shot sounds delish

Absolutely.

1/12/2010 6:33:13 PM

Statutory grape is quite possibly the best name for a drink ever.

And I want to go up there now just to try a Cheerwine shot.

1/12/2010 6:36:30 PM

2/27/2010 6:31:50 PM

last time I went there there was this tall bitch who was dressed like Pocahontas (random feathers and shit). You could tell she'd be even hotter if she didn't, well, dress like Pocahantas.

2/27/2010 7:38:04 PM

i'm pretty sure i know who you're talking about

and that's one of the least wacky outfits she's ever worn

i will grant you that some of said outfits are hotter than others

2/27/2010 8:07:29 PM

listen guys i know i'm tall and sexy like a super model but you can just talk to me like a normal person

ok

thanks

2/27/2010 8:12:30 PM

i blame jackpot for my head feeling this way

2/28/2010 11:59:55 AM

i was trying to think of a nice way to say "you looked really drunk"

because you did, but just in an innocuous "she's drunk" way, not an "oh shit she's wasted" way

so let's just go with that

2/28/2010 12:13:22 PM

her eyes are always that small, and she's always that slutty

2/28/2010 12:16:02 PM

i usually stay away from the liquor but one of the girls we were with had a drink she didn't like so i downed it

great music though!

Whenever I got to Jackpot, I always think about TBS.


Characters welcomed.

2/28/2010 12:29:47 PM

So is this place finally inhabitable since the smoking ban began? A Cheerwine shot sounds delicious.

2/28/2010 12:32:48 PM

there should be a fenced-in outdoor area with tables and shit by next weekend

2/28/2010 12:33:58 PM

^^ i should've clarified, the cheerwine shots are at slim's

the jackpot christmas party was held there, which is how we found out about them

but yes, jp is inhabitable now if you are not a fan of smoke

and yes, there will be an outdoor sitting area in the next week or so

and hopefully the goddamn sound system will have ALL the bugs worked out of it by next week as well

2/28/2010 12:46:17 PM

where is the outdoor sitting area gonna be?

2/28/2010 12:53:31 PM

yeah the sound was awful last night. the dj side speakers sounded like they were underwater.

outdoor seating will be out front. fences being built on both sides of the door

2/28/2010 12:54:54 PM

I see

2/28/2010 12:55:55 PM

I would rather smell fresh second-hand smoke than a building soaked in years of tar, spilled drinks, sweat, vomit, and locker-room cleaning chemicals. Don't get me wrong, Jackpot is probably my favorite bar in Raleigh, but some places should just be allowed the "fuck-it" pass and be exempt from the smoking ban.

2/28/2010 1:22:51 PM

Heading there now. Any teeeefubbers hit me up I'm the douche in the polo

3/6/2010 12:54:03 AM

teefubbers

3/6/2010 12:57:19 AM

we were on our way there tonight and then the girls in our group got mugged

it made for a fantastic evening

3/6/2010 3:35:36 AM

Did the muggers hit the...

wait for it...

JACKPOT?!?!?!

3/6/2010 3:37:51 AM

don't wear a shirt with a collar on it in jackpot

3/6/2010 3:38:28 AM

what if the collar is ironic?

3/6/2010 3:57:56 AM

the only acceptable ironic collar in jackpot is a slayer t-shirt and a priest's collar

3/6/2010 4:00:59 AM

is this place 21+

3/10/2010 2:17:42 AM

yes

it's a bar

3/10/2010 2:29:17 AM

there are lots of bars that aren't.

and damn.
