...coming soon on Glenwood south


anyone know anything about this? I just saw the sign today when I was driving past where it is gonna be. No one else I have talked to has heard anything about it.


another rooftop bar- I like the sound of it.

sadlacks will be putting in a rooftop bar apparently

7/11/2009 12:27:46 PM

nobody cares about sadlacks

7/11/2009 12:29:20 PM

i remember yall talking about that, but they have a ways to go with that... i would imagine they would need to do some reinforcement on that place


that will be a cool place to go after class to grab a beer though- just look at the bell tower and watch all the people walking by while the sun sets

7/11/2009 12:29:23 PM

well they are waiting on the cul de sacs to come in and the city to put the electricity wires under ground

so ya they ahve a ways to go, but it'll be pretty sweet once they do

7/11/2009 12:30:25 PM

you mean the roundabouts? those aren't gonna be by there any way (they are gonna be over on the other side of the bell tower, in front of red hot and blue, and over by B of A if I remember correctly)

7/11/2009 12:32:17 PM

ya the roundabouts, no when they put those in is when they'll put the power lines underground

i mean all this is coming from the chick who works there, not sure how reliable it is

7/11/2009 12:35:02 PM

ah, i see...

Awesome!
Sadlacks is great! (abbradsh is a fool)

7/11/2009 12:38:08 PM

it really is an under-appreciated joint

7/11/2009 12:39:52 PM

i just went there for the first time a couple monthe sago and liked it, would go again, would like to try their food

7/11/2009 12:41:31 PM

Rooftop bars are awesome. Raleigh needs as many as it can get

7/11/2009 12:44:51 PM

Raleigh needs roofs, lots of them

7/11/2009 12:47:31 PM

yay rooftops

and sadlacks is badass. dude must be a troll or hate quality sandwiches

7/11/2009 12:51:48 PM

I'm also quite excited about a 24-hr diner that someone is putting down there.

7/11/2009 12:52:47 PM

no seriously, raleigh homes need roofs to enjoy the summer, even at home

7/11/2009 12:52:53 PM

Somehow I never managed to make my way to Sadlacks.

7/11/2009 12:53:19 PM

as much as chapel hill sucks, top of the hill is a pretty sweet place.

i would love to have something like that here.

7/11/2009 1:12:05 PM

^except that the food is awful

7/11/2009 2:19:19 PM

they didn't kick me out when i threw up all over their bar on my 21st... that was nice of them

7/11/2009 2:24:51 PM

that sign has been there for months and I still haven't heard any details

7/11/2009 3:51:38 PM

I think it's probably gonna be a while on the Glenwood South Ale House. They have a lot of renovations to the building I think to get it ready; they pretty much have to build an additional level on the top (unless they are already working on that?).

7/11/2009 3:54:52 PM

where on glenwood so?

7/11/2009 3:55:43 PM

^^^ i dont know about the rooftop bar, but i know the sign has been there awhile cause they were finalizing the sale of the building, some faimly friends of ours sold them the building

its going to be caddy corner to armadillo grill

but who goes there for food

7/11/2009 4:26:24 PM

As much as people bash Raleigh, there are some good bars.

7/11/2009 4:28:17 PM

i went there once on a dinner date so i think it was a poor choice for that type of outing. but the roof is nice

i wouldn't trust my safety to sadlacks roof

7/11/2009 4:30:49 PM

still coming soon!

5/10/2010 2:31:21 PM

i drove by the diner on glenwood at like 4am the other night...place was PACKED

5/10/2010 2:33:28 PM

Sadlacks has some damn good food

5/10/2010 2:33:39 PM

haha I forgot all about this... damn these hard economic times! taking away all my leisure opportunities

5/10/2010 2:33:41 PM

this is like those !!FREE BEER TOMORROW!! signs in bars

[Edited on May 10, 2010 at 2:34 PM. Reason : r]

5/10/2010 2:34:36 PM

I have no idea what you are talking about...

5/10/2010 2:48:21 PM

It's gonna be at least another year.

5/10/2010 2:50:07 PM

free beer tomorrow, then you show up the next day and say "where's the free beer", they point to the sign and say, oh thats tomorrow, cycle continues, no free beer

5/10/2010 2:51:36 PM

^thanks for fleshing that out....I would have had no idea what that meant otherwise...

Seriously, where are all the rooftop establishments in this fine city? I can't think of any other than the deck at the Hive...

5/10/2010 2:58:05 PM

^after a while you'll get tired of paying a premium (per drink) just to be on the roof.


*I'm talking about places that are at least 4 stories up. Anything 1-2 stories off the ground just feels like a tall patio.

5/10/2010 3:01:15 PM

^^rudinos and solas I know of

5/10/2010 3:02:00 PM

^^^they're usually on top of places that serve alcohol, usually

it's not like the raleigh skyline offers much of a view to really need roof top bars at this point. unless you like seeing rusty air conditioning condensers on the roofs of other buildings.

5/10/2010 3:06:21 PM

^who cares if you see a skyline or if the skyline you see isn't huge and includes a few cranes? Just being able to see for miles and being up super-high while you eat/drink is awesome...

yeah, I forgot about Solas...but that place...well, you know.

5/10/2010 3:11:47 PM

we need a boylan brew pub but 20 stories up

5/10/2010 3:13:14 PM

oh this would be awesome!

[Edited on May 10, 2010 at 3:17 PM. Reason : oh I don't know if i'll ever see it. ]

5/10/2010 3:16:07 PM

^^ I know!

My biggest complaint about Boylan Brew Pub is that I can't see the prison from there!

[Edited on May 10, 2010 at 3:16 PM. Reason : .]

5/10/2010 3:16:13 PM

^ but you can see the wake county jail!

5/10/2010 3:22:01 PM

haha, hey now...the club sandwich was pretty good

p.s. i am pretty pissed that natty's stopped serving gunsmith. that was a mighty fine beer

[Edited on May 10, 2010 at 3:33 PM. Reason : ]

5/10/2010 3:33:32 PM

well, it's good to know their club sammich is tasty!

a brewpub has to be known for something, right?
