  The Royal Flush: The New Kid in Town April 17th, 2005 Posted by Hunter Wilson

  “Aries Lounge"” one probably inquires.  That’s not surprising.  Most are oblivious to this establishment.  Sans a major mass-marketed exposure, coupled with the absence of a striking, sizable sign to match the senior neighbors’ appeal, Aries Lounge"s dearth clarifies why it is easily overlooked when meandering the active streets in Raleigh’s Warehouse district.  However deficient in the standards that accompany the typical bar, Aries Lounge, none-the-less, distinguishes itself as the new kid in town providing Raleigh’s tenured hotspots with quite the run.

  Menu Review: Picasso's Sports Cafe April 12th, 2005 Posted by Hunter Wilson

  If there is one thing I love it is a spots bar with decent food. You"ve been there before and you know what I am talking about, the sports bars that are so dirty you don"t want to rest your arms on the bar, sit in the bar stools, or even think about the bathrooms. That"s not how it is at Picasso"s Sports Café in the University area. It is clean, classy, and packed to the hilt with awesome lunch and dinner selections.

  The Royal Flush: City Limits Saloon -- or is it? March 26th, 2005 Posted by Hunter Wilson

  Considering last night"s triple-header March Madness b-ball games, I was shocked to find a fairly decent crowd in City Limits, and not only that, hordes of people kept coming in even past one o"clock at a very healthy pace.  Kevin, the DJ last night, promptly informed me that the club was dead, and I would not have believed it, except for the fact that I have been there on several Thursday nights, and in comparison to last night, they were dead.  So, taking into perspective the reality that ninety percent of the Triad"s population were at sports bars or home instead of clubs, I was certainly blown away by what City Limits had to offer, even on an "off" night.
