Best bar atmosphere to watch the playoffs?

[thickburglar]

Looking for the best bars in the Triangle to watch. I know Carolina Ale House does viewings but it was hard to get in two years ago. What are HF folks favorite bars to watch?

bojangles is on western blvd actually

Ale House is a good bet, especially on Glenwood. As you say, it'll likely be hard to get into now that restrictions have eased. But the crowdedness is part of the reason it would be a good atmosphere.

Bojangles is on Western, Arby's is on Hillsborough.

Again, bar hop.

Again, bar hop.

I am actually loling thinking about a packed crowd watching the Canes at Bojangles

I believe they call it "last call". One more bacon double cheeseburger before they cut you off.

I may be wrong but I believe it's the McDonalds(?) on Western Boulevard that has a mini-jumbotron hanging over the seating area with Canes and Wolfpack logos.

Now just imagine if the Bojangles down the street bought one of those, and put an actual functioning TV screen in it on a game night...

First we have to wait for Tom Dundon to buy Bojangles stock

For a second here, my stupid dumb brain was thinking that Harris Teeter was branching out a bit.

 

[Gumbo]

Any other serious suggestions? Preferably in non Glenwood south locations?

Uh... yeah. Harris Teeter. That’s what I thought of too...

We could absolutely make this happen next season. Take over a Bojangles parking lot and stream the game.

House of Hops is pretty damn hockey friendly if you're just going for beer.

 

[hockeynjune]

MacGregor Draft House in Cary is a Canes bar and restaurant. Good times

 

[thickburglar]

This is Bates Battaglia's bar right?

I watched a few away games in 2019 at Carolina Ale House in Brier Creek. The atmosphere was great.

 

[tarheelhockey]

Woody's in Cary is a pretty good sports bar. I've never been there for a Canes game, but they have gear on the walls so I assume it has a game-night crowd. It's also pretty easy to get to from Raleigh... basically it's on Hillsborough St. by a different name after it crosses into Cary.

Buffalo Brothers has a few locations. Only been to Lake Boone but lots of screens inside and out. They support the Canes.

 

[MWCanes]

Anyone know if Rudino’s rooftop (on Strickland road, near Six Forks) is still going strong? We used to watch a lot of games there.

I particularly remember game 1 against Detroit in 2002. That place went crazy.

 

[CandyCanes]

For home games. PNC parking lots are free and open this season for anyone, including people without tickets. Maybe start there with some tailgating and then head over to Backyard Bistro.
