No. It's where Hi-5 used to be. Their burger gets pretty stellar reviews, fwiw.
Bogarts turned into a tex mex place iirc.


Hi-5 used to have all you can drink PBR for $10

4/20/2012 11:02:08 AM

I like their burgers a lot

btw synapse...Joel Lane's Public House has $8 all you can drink PBR every Friday and Saturday

4/20/2012 11:08:24 AM

When will the Final Restaurant be ready?

sweet. i'll have to check that out one night when i'm feeling particularly stupid...which is at least a few times a week so the odds are good.

4/20/2012 11:14:45 AM

where is that?

4/20/2012 11:19:25 AM

On the side of the Creamery building (behind where The Diner used to be)

4/20/2012 11:20:43 AM

didnt that used to be a pizza joint?

4/20/2012 11:25:57 AM

yes that's it

4/20/2012 11:28:50 AM

ur status name is awesome

4/20/2012 11:35:24 AM

the manager and a couple of the bartenders are douchebags

4/20/2012 11:46:37 AM

esplain...

4/20/2012 11:58:39 AM

they're nice to me

but 1. I have tits and 2. I have held an event or two there

so 1. I have tits and 2. I make them money + hand over a lot of mine at times

4/20/2012 12:00:23 PM

you could have just stopped at the fact that you have tits and we would believe you

4/20/2012 12:02:03 PM

which is why I put it first

I was sure you'd stop reading there

4/20/2012 12:06:40 PM

you succeeded

4/20/2012 12:13:17 PM

I strongly dislike this place. I went there for UNC-State Acc tourney game and although the bar was 50-50 UNC fans and State fans, the place went out of it's way to appeal to the UNC fans. I won't be going back.

4/20/2012 12:33:27 PM

How are these bottomless beer specials legal?

4/20/2012 1:01:03 PM

why wouldn't they be?

4/20/2012 1:07:31 PM

I believe the NC ALE requires set volume for pricing.

4/20/2012 1:09:00 PM

^^^ I've been wondering the same thing how they get around the ALE rules. Maybe the rules changed unannounced.

4/20/2012 1:10:45 PM

Yeah the burgers are pretty good

4/20/2012 1:12:25 PM

If you aren't in the mood for a burger the fried green tomato BLT is delicious. My 2 cents

4/20/2012 1:14:47 PM

what about events like the world beer festival where they don't have limits?

or places like PB's when they have the free beer? (i guess it's actually 1 cent beer though isn't it? it's been a while!)

4/20/2012 1:18:37 PM

I believe the beer festival gets away with it because they are 3oz "samples." And yeah, places will have one cent beer but it's against the rules to give away beer.

I've also wondered why recently in supermarkets they can give free samples of wine and beer.

4/20/2012 1:22:07 PM

i think they have always been able to... just isn't that customary. (just guessing here though... haven't researched any of the laws.)

Damn, didn't know this one. Definitely have bought alcohol off the internet before.

Didn't see anything in here about free beer and the like but I didn't look hard either: http://www.nccrimecontrol.org/div/ale/chp18b.pdf

4/20/2012 2:28:31 PM

This place looks good, if only there was parking... I guess I'll use that as an excuse to find someone to drive me (secret DD)

4/20/2012 9:05:04 PM

I'm wondering how long this deal will keep going on for... I'd love to check it out, but would need a good reason to head downtown

4/20/2012 9:06:43 PM

It's been around for a while

4/20/2012 9:08:08 PM

ah- I was told it only started like a month or two ago

4/20/2012 9:09:13 PM

I hate driving downtown, even being a passenger is bad. My friend ran over someone a few years ago, so it's just reinforced my reason of being uncomfortable driving downtown.

4/20/2012 9:13:17 PM

that's a while for me

I mean I found out during basketball season

4/20/2012 9:13:28 PM

haha yeah, we were watching a game at TOBIR and someone asked me if I was going to Draft (which I had previously never heard of), and he proceeded to tell me about the deal... and it made me wonder why I had spent double the deal price on busch light that afternoon/evening

4/20/2012 9:19:09 PM

^^^random non sequitur

4/20/2012 10:40:11 PM

He was fine, though I saw him roll across the windshield and he broke the left mirror, he told my friend to be more careful.

4/20/2012 10:52:50 PM

God damn. It's been 4 or 5 years since I lived in Raleigh and I don't recognize most of the current restaurant names (the old previous tenants I do).

4/20/2012 11:42:37 PM

haha your mind would be blown if you came back

4/20/2012 11:44:55 PM

I visited and barely recognized hillsborough a year and half ago. I left when downtown raleigh was ramping up. I knew of a lot of things in the works from working with developers and designers, but never saw a lot of it.

well.................what ha-happen was

[Edited on May 10, 2012 at 5:01 PM. Reason : WHY ISN'T THIS PLACE OPEN FOR LUNCH!?!? ]

5/10/2012 5:00:35 PM

they make up for their good beer prices with high food prices

5/10/2012 5:14:04 PM

i have no problem with that as long as the food is somewhat decent

5/10/2012 5:24:24 PM

the food's okay...i just expect my bar food to be priced like bar food, not we-have-to-make-up-the-money-somewhere

from here on out, i'm only going there to drink and i'll eat before i go

5/10/2012 5:26:24 PM

I can't wait to use my groupon

Good beer prices? I remember them being a little high. $4 mash house pints (i was not impressed), and five for any other pint. Don't know if I'd call that good...

Quote :

It is. Burgers are beyond decent, and yes, a couple bucks more than ale houses and the like.


^ agreed! when i saw the expiration date of 2017 i almost bought like 10 of em, then got control of myself and opted for 2...the next they emailed that they fucked up on the expiration date and it's actually 2012.
