"whatever happened to the sports bar that was going to be built in the upstairs of that building? i remember sammy's started a petition to try and keep it from opening, but all the other businesses were like wtf"

i think it was going to be a Tie Breakers, a non-smoking pool hall and bar, but noone knows what happened to them...no idea what'll go upstairs

"did fucking bada wings ever lower their prices? i still can't figure out how that place is open. i went like the first week, and it was maybe $8 for 6-8 wings this is in a college area where any given night you can find wings from 25-45 cents each, plus cheapass beer specials. i haven't paid more than $8 for a big plate of wings in like 4 years."

yeah the wings are a little more expensive, but they're also miles above anything else you'll find around here as far as quality, taste, and amount of MEAT go. if you're that broke, wait for the days when they're on special (tuesdays are .50 jumbo days, and there's a dollar boneless day too)

Quote :

"just got back from there i was really impressed it just might turn into our new favorite bar"

fortunately, that's been the general sentiment! it's got a good feel for pretty much anyone, little something for everybody. i was shocked at the reactions from day 1, even before we had liquor. we already have a strong base of regulars...hell i'd spend a lot of my money there even if i didn't work there


...and the one you've all been waiting for:

Quote :

"Why would i go there an pay $7 for a pitcher on monday, when i can get one a ruckus for $5"

again, still a work in progress. the specials aren't set in stone by any means, we're still feeling things out. if that $2 is more important to you than the atmosphere and service, then head on across the parking lot and stop by on one of the other days...but i'm thinking we've got a lot to offer

12/14/2007 4:19:47 PM

I agree with whoever said the food is too expensive. The wings have never impressed me with their size.

I still get them on $.50 day every now and then.

wow that place is small!

went last night and got a **highball** (shitty well rum) and it felt like i was drinking watered down piss in my bathroom

the music blew asshole, but i think that's just because there were nothing but douchebags there playing shitty music on the jukebox


i might go back....if and only if I am forced at gunpoint

that was probably us getting even with some other kids who played shitty music

12/15/2007 2:32:13 PM

what kind of shitty music?

12/15/2007 2:34:43 PM

snewf played a very eclectic set. we threw in some dethklok and dragonforce. i don't recall what was being played when we came in...

their chipotle ranch is tasty

12/15/2007 2:40:14 PM

I play My Dick 6 times in a row at the bar next to my building

12/15/2007 2:59:37 PM

the jukeboxes in this town are garbage

slim's is the only decent one

12/15/2007 3:07:54 PM

was i that drunk? where were Lauren and Nick?

I only played Tears for Fears' "Head over Heels" when I was there (which was directly before some dethklok was played) .

btw, good wings.

and i do have my reservations about the jukebox. luckily, i like dragonforce, dethklok, and tears for fears

i can see how it'd become a problem, though, if you get some 96rock knuckleheads in there playing godsmack or something.

better to play some music that is good enough to get radio play than some random subculture bullshit that nobody has ever heard of.

My brother was one of the people involved in opening Tie Breakers II and everyone thought that things were set to go, but the owner of the space kept creating delays. In the end, I believe that the owner did not uphold their end of the agreement, everything ground to a halt, and that bar going in that space is now a no go. I don't know what's going to happen with that space now.

12/15/2007 4:45:32 PM

we're going tonight

internet jukeboxes FTW

12/15/2007 4:48:18 PM

try that french fry wrap thing

12/15/2007 4:52:23 PM

i found this one jukebox at this redneck pool bar in cary


they had phish on it so i picked a 25 minute long crosseyed and painless, hung around just long enough to get the wtf stares (only about 3 minutes) and then bolted

hahaha you're kidding right? the wings i got there tasted like they taken straight out of the fryer, tossed with some salad dressing (seriously - the same 'sauce' that was on my wings was on my GF's salad) and dumped into a basket, oil and all. though i'm sure by now they've realized you need to let to oil drain out of the fryer basket before you serve the wings.

as far as the size, i dunno, maybe i got a bad batch but they weren't anything abnormal. just chicken wings.

V like i said, this was pretty soon after i opened so maybe the guys were just noobs. i'll have to go by sometime on their $.50 night

in the past 2 months, i've had wings from 4 different places.

bada wings' were the best of the 4.

(then again, 2 of the 4 places were Sammy's and Jax).

12/15/2007 5:01:26 PM

do you date the bartender from o'malley's?

Wow, that's an ignorant statement, right there

12/15/2007 5:37:21 PM

i believe if you're gonna pay to hear music, you should get to choose something you like, even if it is "some random subculture bullshit that nobody has ever heard of."

12/15/2007 5:42:29 PM

a Pandora-based jukebox would be gold!

12/15/2007 5:45:20 PM

Does this place have a website?

12/15/2007 6:24:26 PM

i think i had wings from sammys in 2004...they were like 5/10

12/15/2007 6:30:51 PM
