All I can say about this bar is....Eh. Like literally Eh.
I guess if i had to elaborate, I would say a few things were kind of off about it.
Like have you ever seen a Not rude but kind of rude bartender? Myself as a bartender, anytime I see someone who is new, I want to make sure they come back. The bartender wasn't rude...just very abrupt and cold. Like i've had worse bartenders so she was not bad, it was just.....cold. I'm willing to say maybe because she was closing and trying to get out faster (it was like 4 ppl there beside me) and I get it as a bartender. But still.
The regulars dont seem sociable or friendly (which is a bit odd for Cary). The bar i went to next door, was WAY better as far as the regulars go and friendly.
I think the thing that bothered me most was the lack of music. I get they have touchtunes and want you to spend money for the jukebox. It's a capitalist country after all.
The issue is unless you actually pay for the jukebox, it is literally dead air. And if it is dead like it was last night, it makes the overall vibe seem awkward.
Overall, it was just an ehhh experience(and it was my Birthday). I would go back to the bar and give it another shot BUT i also wouldnt go out of my way to go there.

Fantastic “hole in the wall” pool hall.
Great drink specials, quality pool tables, friendly staff, clean bathrooms.
They do the “pay for music or it’s silent” game, so be prepared to pay to play DJ.
Fun spot. Give it a shot.

Great food and drinks. The food is surprisingly good for a billiards bar. I would recommend the dry rubbed wings. The bar and cook staff have always been super nice and enjoy talking about the food options and how they prepare and cook the food. They also have a great drink selection regardless if you are a beer, wine, or liquor person.
