I need a place in this town to go and get drunk and not have to deal with montgomery frathouse and his morbidly drunk fuckbuddy.  Raleigh is a big place, a state capital as a matter of fact.  There's got to be somewhere.............

  You must be new to Raleigh.  I felt the same way when I moved there.  There's The Jackpot (hipster bar with pool tables-- you go to get DRUNK), Poole's (awesome, veggie-friendly diner with a great bar), King's (club with music, trivia, other events, an a bar), Aries (bar/ club with the occasional fetish event), Humble Pie (a tapas place with a wine night, good bar, and tasty brunch on the weekends), White Collar Crime (more yuppie, but still fun), and (though I can't vouch for it personally because it opened since I moved away, Times Bar is, I hear, great).  Good luck-- and lemme know what you think if you check any of them out!

  Yep, I'm a native. I am surprised at how many Carolinians are on this site. I never knew this many cool people growing up. Where the hell did they come from?
