Now I order from this place all the time never had. I had an issue with my food. The food is always perfect now last night, January 9th 2024 I order a Philly cheesesteak and some fries.

New owners! Best Reuben and fries!

Love this place

Food is decent for bar food. But it's definitely bar food. Digital slot machines and Fox "News".

Nice customers, excellent Rueben and the nicest, most helpful staff around.

It's like your favorite burger bar from college. Even still plays the same music. Has a pool table. Locally there are so many places close by where you can get over priced food and drinks with sub par service. Then stands this shining star... affordable and the staff is cool... wait and the food is good.. holy cow. So in short if your wife or girlfriend is shopping near by and you can sneak over come get a burger and a beer. There's a dunkin/baskin Robbins 31 close by so you can stop and get her a drink otw back and just say you dipped out to surprise her. Cheers Less

Very quaint bar with great service. Reminds me of the beach!

Great service , positive atmosphere

We came here after our LGBT tennis match and the service was wonderful. Food was good and at a great price point. Will definitely come back!

Home away from home

Great neighborhood pub. Cold beer, good cocktails, excellent food. Reasonable prices.

My mom and I love to come here after we get ours nails done! Such sweet people and great food and deals!

I had a good lil meal and wine and enjoyed my host michelle

A cute,quiet little dive bar in Raleigh....great service,good food,if you like neighborhood spots,this is a good one

Aimee is the BEST bartender in Raleigh. She loves everyone here and takes care of you. Best place to go in Raleigh! Love this place.

Honestly best bar I’ve been too in Raleigh. Aimee the best bartender in the world and is a big reason I even go.

Amazing y’all missing out. Aimee is the best bartender in Raleigh.

Best dive bar in raleigh! Definitely, and Amy Rocks!!

Wings are pretty good, they’re on special Tuesday, garlic parm sauce style are delicious. Best 4 dollar side salad I get weekly too. Good people come here too for brewskies and/or shots, I love the regulars here. Thanks for reading. Less

I haven't been here yet, but I will be because I love the name. Someone follows the stock market.

Cheesesteak eggrolls and they were overcooked to the point of being inedible, not to mention they were clearly something you can get in a bag at a grocery store - which is fine except the prices are way too high for that. I dont think theres even a real kitchen - most likely an fry-oil station and maybe a small flat-top grill. Again, thats fine, but not if youre charging 15 bucks for some gas-station food and a Pepsi poured from a 2-liter bottle. Failed experiment, live and learn, wont be going back again. Less

Ok, don't come to this neighborhood bar with anything but average expectations. It's not high end and dressy but it fills the must have niche role of your friendly, small, neighborhood gathering place where all are welcome, patrons are friendly, and Slim the bartender works hard to keep all running well. We were in the area for our granddaughters swim meet and needed to get food quickly as the distance we needed to travel that day yet. We entered and the bar was full and the table area was empty. We quickly grabbed a table and I went to the bar to get items. Slim stated to have a seat and he would be right over. He was and we ordered drinks and appetizers while we looked at the menu. We pretty much all just wanted sandwiches. Slim told us up front he was by himself that evening and to be patient. He promptly brought us our appetizers and we ordered our sandwiches. Have you ever had thin sliced pepperoni by the batch? We ordered it and were well pleased with the taste and texture. Just try it. Along with that he had an item called their version of pizza (it's not). Basically a soft tortilla laid flat with sauce and cheese. It was fast to the table and I will say for what it was surprisingly tasty. Now to the food, hamburgers, hot dogs, onion rings, Reuben, fries and so forth. The food was all tasty and hot. Slim hustled back and forth while keeping a bar full of folks served. I will say we will go back again when we are in the area. All food was reasonably priced for the quality we had. This place absolutely fits the bill for your local neighborhood bar. Less

I don't do that, so she's definitely doing her job and friendly. Rum and coke was a bit of a strong pour too. Good for the customer. Downside? The cheese steak sandwich? Mediocre. The pizza? Dude, it's just mozzarella melted ontop of a tortilla with just a smidgen of tomato sauce. $8 for that reminds me how much I would've preferred to just buy some rum and coke then go to a little Caesars. Atmosphere? Good. From a Tuesday night, I didn't expect a lot of people but the people around were chill. They had plenty of TVs and some gambling machines. Not my thing, but if it's yours, congrats. Overall, the food killed the experience. It's hard to chill out with a couple drinks and watch hockey when you're spending more time wondering why you just spent $8 on a tortilla with cheese. You could buy like 7 of those from a Taco Bell and save more money, basically. All things considered, just don't come here hoping for good bar food. If you don't, then you'll have a good night. Less

A Raleigh North Carolina landmark and locally owned and operated. They’ve been in business 36 years and is a great little place.

Hometown hole in the wall. Onion rings are delish! Cheap drinks, low expectations.

Had a breakfast sandwich of bacon and eggs on rye bread with a friend, it was just perfect!. Bull and Bear keep on keeping it "Real and Personal"

Good local spot. Food is a bit greasy, but cooked right and tasty.

Great food at an awesome price. Drinks are made the right way. 👍

Great vibes from the moment you approach the front door. Some of the friendliest Raleigh residents make up their patrons and their staff is the same!

Good cheap food.

Love this place. Just fun

Nice down home fair. It's a diner so the menu is limited but food is decent and people are super friendly. Relaxed vibe

A reasonably priced BLT and a beer in a pleasant atmosphere. Had my lunch here this saturday afternoon, enjoyed a couple of Buds and a quality BLT with a side of fries for fifteen bucks, which is a square deal in North Raleigh. The waitress and bartender on duty was pleasant and attentive, and they've got basketball on the TV and Johnny Cash on the jukebox (but not too loud), and I felt very muc... More

Ok place

Fun place

Was very surprised about this place. Not at all what I was expecting but I dig the vibe and how quiet it is. I will say, they operate by how many people are at the bar, so generally they close around 11 pm instead of 2 am. Most people who leave here head straight to Hero's Pub.... More

Best breakfast in town!

Great small town feel eatery. Great staff. The homemade soup from the cook was absolutely amazing!

The Reuben was fantastic. Everyone in there was very friendly.

Great food and spirits

The food here is very agreeable for burgers, sandwiches & fried shrimp lovers. We know all the wait staff by name & we always have friendly & timely service. Never had a bad experience.... More

Good old fashioned country breakfast with an old school bar to boot.

Great experience. Definite competition for other similar restaurants.

Very nice people and a really good burger and fries.

Old folk

It is like a home cooked meal

Good food. Inexpensive. Good drinks.

Good food, reasonable price, and good service.

Great breakfast.

Breakfast is good, quick, and nicely priced. Has a bar atmosphere so go without the kids.

Neighborhood bar, nothing fancy but good specials.

I would NEVER Suggest coming here the food, the atmosphere, service EVERYTHING was bad. I’m literally not sure they try, they don’t even put salt on your fries chicken tenders are out the bag. Potato’s skins disgusting just a terrible experience all around.... More

Very good southern cooking.

Good food and very reasonably priced.

Be a long time before we go back. Quality of food and service is way down. No need to waste time going there.

Loved the food

Good local bar with great food.

Feels like home

The people are nice there.

Older crowd, full of regulars but cool spot

They tried to grab it out of female customers hand. And got angry and yelled at customers. Not a tip. Only nice to male customers. The waitresses walked behind us closely. and in front of us. and tried to step on your foot. And walk away in the middle of wait on us. And not come back. They complain that they not get tips every time they serve a patron. And yell and scream at female guests. Not deserve a tip. And complain that not like where the female guests sit. And want customers who not give a tip every time to leave. And complaint to management customers are tip stingy. Not need of us to waste our time to eat there. The menu is limited. And the prices are ok. The employees are rude. And yell and scream, waitresses at female or male patrons not tip. Not need to go there. The menu stays the same. Tablecloths are torn. Less

Great breakfast. Love the local flavor of this pub. Travel 20 miles 2-3 times/week for breakfast.

Awrsome breakfast !!

The food was alright but no decorations except for some pictures, no staff on hand, no atmosphere... just hole in the wall restaurant... This place need some serious TLC and it would be a better location.... More

Great lunch specials...homestyle breakfasts also. Nice customer base, and friendly.

Great for breakfast. Definitely a dive feel and I am normally junior to everyone by at least a couple decades but the breakfast is terrific.

Atmosphere could be better, food wasn't horrible for the price. Definitely a 'locals' hangout.

Good breakfast food at a reasonable price. Décor is so so.
