God I love Jackpot

3/27/2010 11:42:38 AM

I really don't understand the appeal of this bar, I mean don't get me wrong, cheap bear, decent musak every now and then, very low key atmosphere, and I have enjoyed myself the couple of times I've been there, but I just don't think of it as AWESOME, maybe if they put up a couple of flatscreens in the pool room and had some food I would go there more often, but every weekend, blah

^^ see, I like the lack of TVs. When out it's so easy to focus on something other than the group of people you're with, and not having tvs helps bring that cozy feeling.

I guess I fall into the hipster camp, but I always love the music at jackpot and without fail all my nights there I end up dancing.

What a shithole. I think I'm going to call the city to get the building inspector on their case. We're not talking about difficult things here. A damn door on the bathroom. Running water and soap. Some poor dude in a wheel chair was there the other night and it looked like he died a little inside when he saw the condition of that bathroom. Meanwhile the lazy-ass bartenders just stand around and shoot pool when they should be fixing the place up.

City of Raleigh Inspections: (919) 516-2495
in case anyone else wants to give them a ring.

pretty sure this doesn't happen

3/27/2010 12:10:10 PM

Saw it with my own eyes, mate.

3/27/2010 12:11:36 PM

perhaps you were being a douche bag? Idk

Anyway, why would we want to call and complain about it. Jackpot is fucking awesome

[Edited on March 27, 2010 at 12:15 PM. Reason : when did it become the bartenders job to fix the place up?]

3/27/2010 12:14:31 PM

"Not my job!" -> "They took 'r jurbs!" -> "Place of business closed."

exactly.

I love jackpot. I def don't go there for the ambiance. Hole in the walls do seem more cozy.

To be honest, I do wonder how they pass inspections.

wat.

that's part of the jackpot experience, don't go there if you don't like it. there are plenty of other bars in raleigh.

Meanwhile the plumber just sits around playing pool when he should be pouring shots

3/27/2010 11:35:43 PM

you guys have got it all wrong

the bartenders fix the pipes

the DJs pour shots

and the plumber lays down that new hot chip jam

for real though, all of the bartenders but one hate pool, so i doubt any were playing on shift

and there are doors on all four bathrooms

3/27/2010 11:51:10 PM

That's cool. The city said they'd be by there to check it out sometime this week.

3/28/2010 10:22:12 AM

Go back to Fosters

3/28/2010 10:50:13 AM

keep trollin trollin trollin

3/28/2010 10:53:02 AM

Feel free to warn them if anyone stops by there tonight.

3/28/2010 11:04:54 AM

i was upset. then i checked the date!

4/1/2010 1:46:46 PM

the key is the followup article, where merge records and local hipsters team up to raise money and keep the jackpot from being bought out

4/1/2010 2:32:06 PM

No, I'm pretty sure thats Breakin' 2: Electric Boogaloo.

4/1/2010 2:45:52 PM

a lot of people have been using "***** 2: the secret of the ooze" when making fake sequel jokes late

i'm confused by that, as "electric boogaloo" is an infinitely superior gag

4/1/2010 7:44:29 PM

?

4/6/2010 5:24:21 PM

not looking good

4/6/2010 5:33:26 PM

I rarely go to Jackpot, but I don't want it to shut down.

4/6/2010 5:34:56 PM

4/6/2010 5:35:13 PM

if i moved back to raleigh someday, would i be allowed in jackpot? i was only ever invited to go and figured i had to know someone to get in or else be shunned because i really don't like The Dirty Projectors (or back then it was probably Of Montreal).

4/6/2010 5:36:17 PM

it would appear that the lesser funded jackpot gave away some of the withdrawn money and blew some of it on gifts, but lost much of it on bad investments.

4/6/2010 5:39:35 PM

smc just popped a woody

4/6/2010 5:51:15 PM

it ain't because of him

4/6/2010 5:51:52 PM

OMG THIS IS ALL HIS FAULT

i forgot about him

lets egg his house on our bikes. WHO IS WITH ME?

4/6/2010 5:53:21 PM

whats the news?

4/6/2010 7:01:38 PM

did they shed more light on the pinball machine?

4/6/2010 7:06:44 PM

is there a pinball machine there?

they have golden tee now i think

but i guess that was to only be enjoyed for a mere second. TEAR.

4/6/2010 7:11:53 PM

So if someone were to offer another piece of downtown real estate would relocation be possible?

4/6/2010 7:13:34 PM

i can't really imagine Jackpot being in any other place

4/6/2010 7:40:25 PM

ahahha Jackpot wishes Niall would buy them now


ahahahahahahahaha
