I guess Slim's is cool if you're middle-aged and still trying desperately to cling to that bit of rebellious youth you think is left inside you. Or if you listen to rockabilly.


Landmark is always full of morons/tools, and the service sucks.

4/10/2010 9:43:23 PM

Landmark has PBR

and lots of fixed-gear bikes

and tattoos

I hope that's not a selling point to anyone in here.

4/10/2010 10:15:58 PM

where is landmark? it sounds vaguely familiar.

i thought kings closed like 10 years ago.

4/10/2010 10:20:42 PM

^^^ it does?

i usually see lesbians or once upon a time frat rats there

no offense

to the frat part. unless you are also a les.

4/10/2010 10:36:43 PM

I've always been fine with Landmark. But I've only really used it as a jumping off point to the rest of the Fayetteville St. places. Think I've only been there late night once and I was wasted.

4/10/2010 10:49:52 PM

does anyone frequent the borough? opinions?

I PREFER GOOD BEER AND GOOD MUSIC

4/11/2010 2:41:15 AM

when this summer is kings opening

4/11/2010 2:41:21 AM

I was under the impression that it would be later rather than sooner. But it's scheduled to be a venue for Hopscotch, so I guess it'll be open by early September.

4/11/2010 3:37:26 AM

I vote for the foundation.

4/11/2010 8:22:37 AM

foundation is cool, but i can't afford those fancy dranks all the time

landmark is okay, i like the staff but a lot of random tools are mixed in with the clientele

p.s. this thread just illustrates that no bar is like the jp

4/11/2010 8:52:41 AM

wah wah wah gonna cry jackpot closed




landmark is one of the best bars downtown, and if anyone thinks different they're wrong

4/11/2010 10:14:03 AM

People that go to Landmark would say some silly shit like that.

4/11/2010 10:37:26 AM

i wouldn't argue that

4/11/2010 10:38:07 AM

people that are fat, arrogant, chip-on-their-shoulders pretentious hipster shits on The Wolfweb would argue that.

4/11/2010 10:41:48 AM

You're still not making a good case for Landmark.

4/11/2010 10:44:04 AM

You're not making a good case against it, either.




I mean, you don't like anything, so I don't even know why you weigh-in (ucwidt?) on things - you're like a real life bearded caricature of Comic Book guy from The Simpsons



nobody needs your fucking constant stream of pretentious negativity

4/11/2010 10:48:34 AM

I like plenty of things. Landmark just doesn't make the cut. I don't know why you're so upset about that.

4/11/2010 10:50:27 AM

I'm not mad at all. I just think your constant negativity shows your lack of character, that's all.

Went to the Borough a couple of weeks ago for the first time. Its not a Gay bar but there are a lot of gay people there, not a deal breaker for me but for others it might be. Mostly young professional looking types, with hipster tendencies too. Not a place I would go to try to meet people, but is better if you bring a bunch of friends. Beer was maybe $4 or $5 a pint, I cant quite remember.

interesting
i got to slims a few times a week and i cant tell you the last time i heard rockabilly
and the middle-aged part is really funny b/c it was pretty full of young people this weekend and all last week

hell..if i werent so hung over i would be there right now

4/11/2010 6:37:40 PM

kings isn't around anymore but it's definitely one of the more fun places i've been to in raleigh to see music

4/11/2010 6:42:53 PM

The Borough has a drink called the HowdoyouQ (I think that's the name, it's been a long time since I was last in Raleigh) and it will get you where you want to be. Two of those and you better not drive. Also, as previously stated, while not a gay bar, it is ~, but I've never had a bad time there.

4/11/2010 6:44:56 PM

^it's not flaming like legends but it was definitely clear we were in the minority

4/11/2010 6:47:54 PM

Is the Times not cool anymore?

4/11/2010 6:48:40 PM

^^^^ kings is coming back girlie

not til this summer but still

^ i love the times. honestly the main reason i don't hang out that much around the fayet st area on weekends is cause places like the times get sooooo freaking packed. it will be better now that the weather is warmer.

Landmark is alright if you really, really like Jenga.

4/11/2010 7:05:35 PM

hahaha. i love bars with board games

don't hate

but its always too crowded there to play (on the weekends). i prefer going there during the week. and i'm glad that it is getting warmer cause the outside area is nice and makes it MUCH better (crowd wise)

4/11/2010 7:06:34 PM

I must also say that I am a fan of Isaac Hunter's

4/11/2010 7:07:03 PM

It's like when they designed Landmark, they were going for a "hey, young professionals should come here for a drink or two after work/on the weekends" clientele. That doesn't seem to be at all what they get from my experience though.

my favorite, so it probably isn't that cool...i like the busy bee as well

Yeah, there was a month in winter that I was there every weekend. I, too, like Busy Bee/Hive...

4/11/2010 7:44:50 PM

i still haven't been to issac hunters

i don't like busy bee/hive though.

4/11/2010 7:45:44 PM

the busy bee's clientele is the fucking worst in town

but the staff is nice and the beer/food is good

i love the borough with all my heart

kings is coming back in all three stories of the alibi/martin st. pizza/raleigh music hall space

p.s. jackpot ain't closed

4/11/2010 8:08:33 PM

Jackpot closed already?! Man that's a shame.
