This has got to be a joke.  This looks and sounds like something from The Onion.

Tuna sandwich? That’s hilarious! Skillet, you’re killing me!

A sandwich shop/ tavern could do well here.  Unfortunately they probably wont know where they went wrong until its too late.  It will be like the shortlived bar “Hush” that opened in the Depot, it was the disaster of the decade.  But things shook out and The Union seems to be doing okay.  Same thing will happen here.

September means September plus 3 months.  Its an idea that might work. 

Think of all of the Jouhnson County rednecks that want a night in the big city.  They go to The Pit and find that they have to wait 1hr for a table. “F this bo… I aint pay in $15 for BBQ plus Charley Danials starts in 45 at that new amp o theater across the street”

what’s wrong with you people?  I thought I might come to this website to get some intelligent news - but if dorks like you get to post on here, no thanks… I’ll just keep doing what I’m doing.  I actually like living downtown and things that go on here - if you don’t, then MOVE

All posts (including this one) except Skillet’s should be deleted and new posts should be prohibited.  Well done, sir.

@Eddie intellectual posts typically arent a forte of NR viewers…

it’s awful when a new bar/restaurant opens in a vacant space. i hate how i’m forced to go to these new places and how inevitably they will draw thousands of people from the pool of a stereotype i don’t like. eventually downtown raleigh will be full of people i don’t like, all enjoying their stupid new hangouts, taking up all the parking, crowding me out of my hangout six blocks away, ruining everything. next thing you know, they’ll start buying tickets for amphitheater shows and performing arts center shows and then eventually those two tax drains will start getting better shows, then it really gets bad - people will start coming downtown from all over, and some day, maybe even twenty years from now, when someone in nebraska says “raleigh”, they won’t have to follow it with “north carolina”. then we’re really screwed. it’s douchebags like the owner of this restaurant who ruin it for the rest of us.

^^ Yup.  That’s exactly how the post and the comments come off, and is one of those examples of how NR is more hipster blog than news (which is fine).

For those of us who aren’t hipsters, but also don’t have “frosted tips and tribal tats” either, it’s kind of a letdown.  Hard to be sympathetic to the crying over Kings and Jackpot when you read this stuff.  If it isn’t a hipster favorite, it’s douchy?  Nice.

Come on guys, that picture is hilarious.  Lighten up.  You don’t have to be a hipster to have a sense of humor.

I peeped in there the other day and it looked pretty much ready.  Its probably the standard inspector saying it should be this way.  Then the next inspector says it has to be a different way.  Thats the name of the restaurant game…

The “Flying V ” guitar in the logo is made up of two sub sandwiches….seriously?.......that is douchey beyond all comprehension!

Who hasn’t dreamed of standing before a screaming crowd while strumming two hoagies, your blonde highlights blowing in the wind?

LOL I didnt notice that.  This such a horrible idea it might work on the sole premise of its horriblity…

I resent this.  I actually interned as a blog commenter on the original raleighing.com before becoming a professional commenter on newraleigh.

i wonder if you can ride the mechanical bull with your hoagie?

The mascot guy looks like he’s road a few bulls with his hoagie… IF you know what I mean!

Yo Chris, I got your hoagie right here!  OH!

Sandwich recommendation:

Picture this Stormy on a Zamboni holding a Ham Sandwich.  It would be called the Jamboni. 

Recommended drink would be a Hurricane!

Or a Rare Roast Beef sandwich (made from veal of course) with plenty of au jus on pumpernickel.  This bloody goodness would be shared by the whole family.  It would be called The Aristocrat!

that logo is so douchey that I adore it. I might even buy the t-shirt.

who in the hedazzle is Chris London anyway??? Am I supposed to know this person? Is he another reject from some prime time television junk? Subs and Guitars should not be meshed, this is definitely annoying.

Still, his hoagie gently weeps.
