Hey that rhymed!

Buckhead Saloon is coming to Raleigh

Just a heads up for anyone interested. If you've ever been to the one in Charlotte you know it's a fun time! It's not a country bar for anyone who thinks Buckhead = Country

We'll be opening where Jillian's used to be. Completely overhauling the interior. Please come check us out! We'll also be promoting locally by hitting up a bunch of places. PM me if you want more info or to have a contact, I'll be working there a few nights a week.

It should be a great and much needed change.

the one in charlotte is one of my favorite places uptown. maybe i'll get to see the raleigh one at some time, but since im moving back to charlotte the uptown buckhead will still be my place.

5/3/2007 5:23:39 PM

is this one of those loud loud loud places that doubles as a sports bar?

cause i'm looking for more places like mitch's or raleigh times...or miltown in carrboro

5/3/2007 6:11:09 PM

i finally figured out why clubs and such have music so loud its impossible to have a conversation

the crowd they cater sees conversation as an obstacle to their end-goal

5/3/2007 6:32:02 PM

need any DJs??

hiring???

I love buckheads, cant wait for it to open up here!!!

5/3/2007 7:06:22 PM

Do you guys have any plans to keep the black people out or is this going to be Jillians 2.0?

5/3/2007 8:13:50 PM

I'm pretty sure my church, Vintage21, is going to be where Jillians used to be and we have no plans to move. The entire interior is gutted and they're renovating as we speak. Unless this is some part of the same building...but we've got the area where the main dance floor and the grill were located.

^ i thought the same when i read this - 2 weekends of demolition changed that place pretty drastically

5/3/2007 8:58:01 PM

a church next to a bar? you should just leave your doors open so i can pass out there and repent in the morning.


not too many black people come to the charlotte one, but this is raleigh so i dont know.

5/3/2007 9:08:01 PM

Jillians was pretty big, should be enough room for a bar/church combo...what an idea

5/4/2007 12:04:52 AM

Dude the buckheads in charlotte is one of my favorite bars I have been to anywhere...still will be. Lets see how this one will measure up.

5/4/2007 1:07:19 AM

buckhead upstairs.... church downstairs

worship as you wish

i might be slingin drinks there

5/4/2007 2:26:17 AM

vintage 21 isn't some sort of prude church

sometimes they have bible study at bars

5/4/2007 8:05:01 AM

I had no idea about the church, not sure what the deal is with that.

But hey, what could possibly go wrong with a party bar/church combo???

5/4/2007 11:54:31 AM

What makes this place so good?

5/4/2007 12:42:30 PM

Great! ANOTHER loud obnoxious bar/club.

5/4/2007 12:56:40 PM

Yeah.... if you do not like large party bars, then it's definitely not for you... obviously.

The bands are brought in from all over the US, there are nights with DJ's as well. And the bands aren't just doing their own stuff, they do covers of pretty much any song the crowd requests. They just do everything a little nicer and a little better than anything around here.

if the weather is like 60 with a breeze and you are with a bunch of people it can be a fun place

if you're just looking for a bar to chill and sit back and drink a few its not the place to do it in

5/4/2007 2:35:24 PM

they always have a band in from some random city in the US and the band is always playing good cover music. Normally Saturdays is the night. Then again in charlotte it is right uptown right beside bobcats arena, the holiday inn, etc. etc. etc. Charlotte downtown is just hopping in general.

5/5/2007 1:37:00 AM

the band that usually plays on saturday night is just the two owners, one on guitar and the other on drums. they can play just about anything requested.

5/5/2007 11:40:02 AM

ok whats set up for June 9th?

thinkin about havin a hugeeeee 21st bash

they gonna be open then? we'd like to set something up

but what part of June they opening?

5/6/2007 5:43:37 PM

last time i was told its june 14

5/6/2007 5:56:43 PM

maybe they can do a grand opening on the 9th

guaranteed 100 people from my side if we get in free before 12

whatcha sayyy

5/6/2007 5:59:39 PM

ill get up with the GM and see if thats possible

thatd be the shit, cuz if you came and used my name id probably win the contest for most people to come see me.. id share the love of course (get you drunk cheaper, but on a day not your 21st cuz youll be drinkin for free then im sure anyways)

5/6/2007 6:13:29 PM

yea we have proposed it to Five Star, City Limits and whatever the new name ofthe old Cabanas in Gville is so...its happening just depends on where

and it would be awesome to have a big grand opening for that place at that time, there arent any big concerts in town either...spo im lookin into who around here might would do something, afroman has wrote me back so maybe him maybe some others, not sure yet.

5/6/2007 6:20:14 PM

at the first baptist bar and grill
it's the only church in the bible belt
that smells like a whiskey still
when the sinners finish one more round
we'll have dinner on the grounds
and go inside pray we don't get killed

5/6/2007 6:42:28 PM

vintage21, lol

5/6/2007 7:20:32 PM

Its like $10 to get in the bar in Charlotte. And its too crowded. More power to them, they must be doing something right.

Personally, I'd go to Mitch's if I still lived in Raleigh. Now that I'm in Charlotte, I'd rather go to Thomas St. Tavern or somewhere like that.

5/6/2007 7:35:08 PM

buckheads and uptown cabaret in charlotte FTW!!!!

5/6/2007 11:26:11 PM

uptown cabaret ftlame.

Men's Club is much, much better.

5/7/2007 12:22:51 AM

so many good times at buckhead saloon in charlotte

damn, aha

[Edited on May 7, 2007 at 12:41 AM. Reason : and jillians is not going to be a fucking church]

5/7/2007 12:40:00 AM

yeah, charge $10 to get in....keep out the riffraff.

5/7/2007 12:06:05 PM

cabaret is AWESOME!

well now they want us to push it back to the 16th to do it then and not on the 9th

we had already thought the 9th would be the best idea



think we will be taking it elsewhere it seems

5/7/2007 2:02:30 PM

Call Julie.. PM sent

5/15/2007 3:27:20 PM

it will remain a good place to get stabbed.

after all, its in the stabbing district.

5/15/2007 3:53:32 PM

We took a bit of a field trip to the one in Charlotte... awesome times.

5/22/2007 4:35:08 PM

seems to have potential, but ill probably avoid if it ends up being a place for immature freshmen

5/22/2007 6:35:55 PM

I'm pretty sure they only do one college night a week (18+)

The coolest things about it for me are the private areas with comfy couches (you can rent your own 'lodge'), a mix of tables and huge bars, and the stage & open area for listening to the bands... not too mention it's not a country bar at all (when I was in Charlotte they played one drunken country anthem and the band sang "Sweet Home AlabamaCarolina" for a few chords. But they were pretty good actually... they covered a lot of great songs I wasn't expecting

Get your free tickets from the website for the grand opening. Still looks like June 14th is good for now...

Please comment that you were referred by Chris M if you do get your free tickets via the website... I believe we are mailing them out next week.

5/27/2007 4:49:19 PM

Opening pushed back a week: June 21st is the new Grand Opening date!



It's worth the wait

6/4/2007 12:54:12 PM

6/5/2007 12:35:34 PM
