Looks like something besides a dance club is gonna be going in... http://packhousepub.com/
Its always good to have a new place to drink so close to campus . From the pictures it looks like they have a good start, I can't wait to see it when it opens

sweet website.

2/5/2010 10:52:59 AM

The date stamps on the photos add a nice touch.

2/5/2010 10:54:18 AM

what former establishment is this taking over?

2/5/2010 10:54:38 AM

i like how the entertainment they advertise is nc state football, some BigHitSunday shit and women's basketball.

^manjri and pi bar.

also it looks nothing like a pub with their choice of decor. needs to be a strip club as it once was.

It says "Pub", but the inside pictures make it look just like a club. The bar and large leather sofa lounge areas scream "club". No thank you.

hahaha i no longer live in raleigh but my first guess was where pi bar used to be

Is this the same place that use to be "Kellys" in the early 2000s and where the dance team always held parties??

2/5/2010 11:02:53 AM

the dance team held parties at club time, which became banana joes which became city limits.

Quote :

"Coming Soon CLOSED"

I'm talking about before your time kid.

2/5/2010 11:24:43 AM

yep, they used to party at Kelly's and Colorado's

they would form an impenetrable circle on the dance floor, busting out their choreographed moves.

My roommate last year worked as a bouncer for Aurora or w/e it was called at the time. He told me about this place a few weeks ago. Apparently when asked why it will be called "pub" they said it was gonna have food (sandwiches etc) as well as drinks. This is gonna be another failboat.

Although, they apparently outpaid City Limits payrate to steal the DJ.

2/5/2010 12:00:34 PM

That used to be Five-O too right?

2/5/2010 12:05:51 PM

On the 2nd floor of the Electric Company building.

Yep, dat be de old Fitty!

Most of you fuckers are too young to remember the Five O.
