what the fuck is jackpot

I'm AstralAdvent and i approved this message.

[Edited on July 12, 2011 at 12:06 AM. Reason : do you get service down there in neptunes?]

7/12/2011 12:05:46 AM

100% on board

we just need a money-man

7/12/2011 12:15:06 AM

me too i miss summer nights at jackpot

i miss it

lowkey hangout vibes. miss.

7/12/2011 12:21:53 AM

this thread reminds me of that one time I wasn't at Neptunes and it apparently felt like Jackpot

fuck.

7/12/2011 12:23:45 AM

I switched to Verizon and I get service at neptunes now. But I am not there, and it's not a jackpot substitute. I love neptunes, but people who suck have discovered it in the weekends.

7/12/2011 12:49:44 AM

i also get service yay verizon

and i hate it on weekends. hate.

7/12/2011 12:52:36 AM

I never went anywhere but ruckus, ev, and sometime goat

7/12/2011 12:54:31 AM

On it.

7/12/2011 3:24:33 AM

lets do this shit. VB, you have to have a rich uncle somewhere

7/12/2011 3:35:17 AM

Rich uncle? Just find a dilapidated building with a homeless flop connected to it, throw in a bar and some ancient pool tables and profit, son.

OK, and a sizable dance floor.

Shannon, I thought you wanted to open up a honky tonk?

Its always sunny in philly!

7/12/2011 8:41:11 AM

^^ rich enough to pay me to quit my current employment situation. And oh trust me, still do on the honky tonk

7/12/2011 9:19:24 AM

i, too, went to jackpot once...that was back when it wasn't cool to go to jackpot yet.

7/12/2011 9:31:59 AM

cool story bro

7/12/2011 12:22:26 PM

I went a few times pre-nonsmoking laws and a few times after that

I can't decide which was better

7/12/2011 12:27:14 PM

Signed

I loved hittin' up the Jackpot for some drunkin' pool sessions.

7/12/2011 12:30:20 PM

I liked to act like it was a lot cooler when you could smoke there

but really I was tired of my clothes smelling like complete shit when I left so I'm glad that law was passed

here fucking here
it was fucking impossible to get a drink in there this past weekend
i hated leaving b/c Eric was playing a killer set.

those fucking glenwood south douchebags need to stick The Hive

7/12/2011 12:39:54 PM

I like The Hive

more like I love The Hive

but I will be at Kings this weekend if that makes you feel better

Gotta hit up Discovery

7/12/2011 12:41:05 PM

for now, at least on the weekend we have satellite neptunes

7/12/2011 12:41:27 PM

i too need a new place to look down my nose at people

7/12/2011 12:42:04 PM

kind of glad my last Jackpot night was a quiet one

it ruled pretty hard

glad I missed round two of clusterfuck

7/12/2011 12:43:58 PM

never been to jackpot but i used to love a cold beer on the porch at EV on a hot summer night

7/12/2011 12:44:09 PM

If I had a shit ton of money I would build an exact replica of Jackpot. Then, on opening night, I would set it ablaze.

7/12/2011 12:48:37 PM

^^^^ i've said this before, but people who have that attitude never went there regularly, because no one gave a fuck about anyone else until they started acting like assholes

i don't care what "type" of person goes to any bar, but when you start acting like a dick it's a different story

ex: pounding on the bar or jingling your credit card on a steel beam means you don't get a drink at all, not that you get one faster

7/12/2011 12:49:18 PM

please PM me the location of Site 2

im sorry Divababy, that really sucks for you. i prefer Slims, next door. its way cooler and easier to get a drink.

7/12/2011 12:49:47 PM

Neptune's definitely had strong Glenwood South vibes on Friday

I blame the pub crawl

still not sure why anyone would request Dave Matthews Band during an Outkast song

7/12/2011 1:13:13 PM

Why? so more people can get their skulls bashed and brain injuries?

7/12/2011 1:14:58 PM

I have no problem getting a drink, because I know the bartenders (so maybe that's why I love it)

And I'm fraannns with a couple of the DJs that play there, so I go to support them as well.

Plus it seems like more of the crowd that grew out of Five Points than Glenwood South.

7/12/2011 1:18:39 PM

the hive does not have a glenwood south crowd

ignorance on both sides of this debate

7/12/2011 1:26:27 PM

Quality thread. Endorsed.

^Horrible and incorrect post. Ignored.

7/12/2011 1:34:23 PM

of the few times I've been to the Hive, I have always seen Affliction/Ed Hardy shirts

add the unbearably loud music, and you've got a place ripe for date rape

i live at slims and i will say the people that i see going in and out of The Hive are the same crowd you will find at Red Room and Solas.

i hope you dont meant the same crowd that ruined The Pointe and Churchills

lol they love me and my fiance..


thos 5 points suckers loooove us

7/12/2011 1:53:37 PM

I was at JackPot for it's last 6 closings.

yup, these are the people that are ruining The Hive

7/12/2011 1:54:40 PM

^yes

Its rare that I see affliction type douche bags

Its usually the "I have a personal shopper at J.crew" crowd.

Then you look at the bar and waitstaff and go Wait...WAT?

7/12/2011 1:56:20 PM

one thing the Hive has going for it is that it doesn't suck nearly as much as the Oxford

7/12/2011 1:57:11 PM

i usually buy 6 High Life cans and go out to the rooftop to chain smoke

7/12/2011 1:58:42 PM

OMG I hate hate hate the oxford.

Why pack it out so much and have 2 bartenders? Does not compute.

[Edited on July 12, 2011 at 1:59 PM. Reason : ^hahah I walk in and hold up a number...they give me high life and make me happy]

7/12/2011 1:58:55 PM

I had my worst bartender experience ever at the Oxford

will never go back

7/12/2011 2:00:29 PM

i had the worst bartender experience also at the oxford

i fucking loathe that place

i'd rather go to the hive 800 times before ever going back to the oxford.

the last few times i've been at tunes (which has been like 2 times in the last month?!) the CC16 late night crowd has looked like its picked up! prob because it is summer and they have outside seating. that could be a good potential chill spot to investigate.

7/12/2011 2:04:13 PM

if it didn't get so fucking hot in Mecca I wouldn't mind going there more often for beers

but I agree that we should give CC16 a try

did it once a few months ago and it was quite alright

7/12/2011 2:23:34 PM

ive been hitting up mecca more and more lately
love the old vibes of a place thats been around for about 100 years

CC16?

7/12/2011 2:29:49 PM

I love Mecca

good cheap food & beer

plus you get to look at pics of awesome democrats

7/12/2011 2:30:39 PM

^^ Capital Club 16, next to Neptunes

and I really enjoy Mecca, it's just the past few times we went it was insanely hot in there

7/12/2011 2:32:16 PM

oh word, i just never paid attention to the name of the place.

yeah, last time i was in mecca i think i lost about 4 pounds from sweating

7/12/2011 2:35:44 PM

Did something happen to jackpot? I have not been in Raleigh in five years.
