I never went there much anyway but the times I did, it was a fun place.

The bad thing about this is that Jillians was like the containment area for thugs and trailer trash on their nights out. Now they'll start spilling over into other bars.

6/7/2006 12:17:29 PM

I'm surprised it lasted as long as it did

i'm one of those that can say it definitely sucked

without ever going there

6/7/2006 12:29:04 PM

they had nice tight pool tables that were fast - but other than that - meh

6/7/2006 12:29:24 PM

THUG LIFE BABBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBY!

6/7/2006 12:30:37 PM

it was decent for pool

but yeah, the thug thing.

i havent been there since like 2002

6/7/2006 12:33:47 PM

Only went once and can honestly say I was not impressed. The article did mention a possible rennovation and re-opening so maybe we'll get our "thug container" back?

Unintended negative consequences. WE MUST RALLY TO KEEP THIS PLACE OPEN....

but then again, they may just find their way to the Office or back to Longbranch where they came from. And I think the spillover is complete at Five Star where you now receive a free bullet in your gut on every hip hop night.

^ Anyone got a link to a news article about the guy that got shot outside of 5 Star? I just heard about it last week.

6/7/2006 1:13:06 PM

What's wierd is that every other Jillians is a really great place to go. I went to a kick ass one in Boston across the street from fenway that had a bowling alley in it. It had special pins that were quiet, and there were extremely attractive waitresses. I had a great time.

But the one here is ghetto and pretty much sucks complete ass.

6/7/2006 2:28:54 PM

6/7/2006 5:56:27 PM

it was pretty cool when it was empty. the sofa rooms with the TVs and pool tables were nice

6/7/2006 6:37:43 PM

I popped my dance floor cherry over there

6/7/2006 6:44:01 PM

it was only good for pool

6/7/2006 7:51:18 PM

one of my friends worked at the one in concord mills and we got free pool.

the only reason I went there is because concord sucks.

Raleigh sucks less and I have better things to do than sit at jillians.

they sold the one in Washington DC

6/8/2006 2:31:32 AM

from what i heard, ev recently put rap into the jukebox in an attempt to diversify the patrons

6/8/2006 2:55:09 AM

EV probly put rap in the juke box to drive away the same 6 old men that sit at the bar all the time. 5 star closed last week i believe.

6/8/2006 9:15:36 AM

i played some nappy roots at EV the other day

6/8/2006 10:18:26 AM

raleigh isn't a clubbing city. just open more bars.

6/8/2006 10:39:54 AM

i threw up on their dance floor about 3 times on new years eve 2005

6/8/2006 11:44:55 AM

they will just go to 5 star or whatever that fucking place is just down the street

6/8/2006 11:59:15 AM

as long as they stay together
i can go somewhere else

6/8/2006 12:05:47 PM

I have not been in there since I turned 21.

6/12/2006 11:48:52 AM

i drove by there friday night. it looked so sad. big dumpster out front.

6/12/2006 11:53:21 AM

I'm kinda saddened b/c this is where the big corporate venders would take our design groups for celebrations whenever we signed huge contracts... we would get wasted and play video games on their dimes... its a lotta fun playing video games next to your drunk 53y/o coworker/friend who has daughters almost your age... as well as the rest of your coworkers...

I never liked the place after I turned 21 as far as going out on the town... but weds college nights holds a fond place in my heart from my freshmen and sophomore year

6/12/2006 6:59:47 PM

thats about how i see it too

6/12/2006 7:00:23 PM

chuck e cheese for boozehounds

6/12/2006 7:15:45 PM

i worked there once, i called this places closing like over a year ago

6/12/2006 7:50:56 PM

I only went there once and played some drunken Ms. Pacman. Still managed to get a high score of over 200,000 .

6/12/2006 8:13:14 PM

Well, the Jillians in Memphis SUCKS ASS. Worst restaurant I've ever eaten at. Terrible service, took 2 hours to get our food, and it was wrong orders and cold and all, and we were the only freaking people there, it's not like they were busy.

6/12/2006 8:40:54 PM

I went there once. Eh.

Yeah, they all went to White Collar and Ess on Saturday night.

6/12/2006 10:30:01 PM

more thugs will go to Tha Suppa Clubb or whatever (which is 5 minutes from my parents' house) and then it will get shut down
