Best Raleigh Bar for Aging Drunks?

Raleigh nightlife coverage tends to focus on places for 20 somethings or rich people or people who live downtown but I think it's time to recognize the full diversity of Raleigh night life starting with the question:

What's the Best Bar in Raleigh Where an Aging Drunk Can Feel at Home?

I'm voting Sadlack's with some spillover to the Player's Retreat for those in need of hard liquor.  But, if you've been to Sadlack's, you know that's just too easy a call.

I'm betting there are some unknown gems in Raleigh where an aging drunk can feel right at home even when they're down on their luck.

Please offer your suggestions in the comments and maybe this will become the first category in Best in Raleighwood, NC!

Note: I know this category will overlap with Best Bar at Which a Vaguely Attractive Female Can Draw Way Too Much Attention but, hey, no reason Sadlack's can't sweep!

Hmm - "Best Bar at Which a Vaguely Attractive Female Can Draw Way Too Much Attention" - maybe I need to spend more time at Sadlacks. You'll have to give me the entire list some time.

Ha ha! Sadlack's is known for being an environment in which a lot of women feel uncomfortable from the attention.

That said, I think the men giving the attention aren't verbally abusive, don't generally make overly sexual comments and don't do the sorts of thing that I think would cross a serious line. And there are actually a number of very cool people that make their way through the scene, especially when there's live music or an event.

I sort of have a love/hate relationship with that place.

You should rendezvous with J DJ sometime. He'll introduce you to some key playas! [lol]

You were supposed to comment that I don't fall into the Vaguely Attractive category, that I'm more the Very Attractive type. Or the Drop Dead Gorgeous type. Your choice (fakepout) Now I'm mad. (/fakepout)

Sorry, I'm so far off my game it's not even funny. In honesty, I did think to myself that Sheri doesn't fit into that category and I should have pointed that out.

My bad. Cute fakepout, by the way!
