Get the BBQ sandwich.

That's really the only useful information I have.

 

[HisIceness]

I agree the BBQ sandwich is GOAT.

But make sure it has SC mustard sauce on it, any other sauce is WOAT

 

[DaveG]

bbq nachos also acceptable

 

[MinJaBen]

bbq nachos also acceptable

They are delicious.

 

[Anton Dubinchuk]

Oh my goodness the bbq nachos.

I will also say that the cinnamon bun stand has better cinnamon buns than Cinnabon.

What does the bbq sandwich cost at PNC Arena? If remember for years it was as about six bucks and the best deal in the place, but haven’t bought one in years (thanks Dad for the hereditary high cholesterol).

About double that now.

 

[Boom Boom Apathy]

About double that now.

I’ll stick with beer.

 

[MinJaBen]

I’ll stick with beer.

If you get the craft stuff at the arena, you aren’t saving any money.

 

[Boom Boom Apathy]

If you get the craft stuff at the arena, you aren’t saving any money.

Yes, but I’m getting a beer regardless. So it’s either $11 for a beer, or $11 for a beer and $12 for pork for a person with high cholesterol.

Don’t get me wrong, the last time I had the sandwich, it was great.

Good news -- the sandwich is only $11!

Hello, so my friend is having a bachelors party and we are looking at driving to Washington and watching the Sens vs the Caps on the Friday and follow that up with the Sens vs the Canes on the Saturday. We would be spending the weekend in Raleigh, maybe golf if we can. My question is, are their bachelor party type things to do there? Casino? Strip joint?

No casino or strip joint. But we’ve got a fun downtown bar/club scene.

I live downtown so these are my recommendations on a weekend out.

If you end up in the Glenwood district check out Beer Garden, Plus Piano Bar, Cornerstone, and Dogwood. In that order usually makes for a fun night.

If you end up in the heart of downtown Raleigh. Hop around these bars... Boxcar Barcade, Anchor Bar, Architect, Coglins (80’s/90’s themed bar), and Capital City.

 

[HisIceness]

Yeah Glenwood District would be the bachelor/bachelorette hangout area. Warehouse District (The area in and around the Red Hat Amphitheater) is good too, the Trolley Pub and the Videri Chocolate Factory are popular with the bachelorette crowd.

There are a couple strip joints but they are off the beaten track as far as other entertainment. Men's Club on Yonkers Rd off 440 and there's one just north of the airport (too lazy to google...)

If you come to Durham, we've got a strip club right in the middle of downtown.

Are any of these places in NC actually “strip clubs” though? Topless is all I’ve ever seen myself in NC. If you want true strip clubs, stay in the DC/Baltimore area or head on down to Atlanta.
