    Great place for cheap drinks and some entertainment. They have beer pong tables ready, skiball, goldentee and darts. Great college bar with amazing prices for drinks. Good 'ol dive!

    Stopped here for a bar crawl---so cool! I loved that they had plenty of games to stay occupied, including cornhole, beer pong, skee ball, and more. If you get a quarter in the shot glass over the bar, you get a free shirt. Several drink deals and you get a picture with Captain Morgan, which is pretty awesome. I really like the outdoor seating, too. So much action both inside and outside and I didn't feel like it was overly crowded, even with a lot of people. Really enjoyed the atmosphere.

    This is a DIVE BAR. This is not a fancy place to get craft cocktails and moscow mules in copper mugs. Don't come here if that's what you're looking for or if you're uptight. I love coming here on the weekends. They have cheap drinks, fun games, and good music. I've come here for day drinking and to start or end a night out. I'm not a beer drinker, but I know they have cheap beer. They also have cheap house liquor ($4 on the weekends). During the day they have a juke box that will play music and you can buy songs to play as well. There are all types of games to play as well (pool, beer pong, foosball, darts, skeeball, etc.) There's a large patio area and of course cornhole! It's off of Glenwood so you don't have to deal with the chaos and crowding that you have to deal with if you go to bars on Glenwood. And it's conveniently located behind Armadillo Grill! There's even a little food truck in the front lot. Parking is scarce, but sometimes available. I definitely suggest using Uber or Lyft for multiple reasons. Cool place to check out, if you're into dive bars.

    Big ol bar

    Definitely stick to the B's here whether it's balls (skee), beers, or boxing! Lucky B's is the classic (but clean) dive bar and hang out where you get your drank on and get silly. With tons of bar games (pool, skee-ball, Penthouse photohunt, Wheel of Boxing) you can relax and blow off some steam here. The space is big and cavernous for larger groups. Pump some bills into the jukebox, get the music cranking and enjoy yourself. They've got drink specials every day of the week and the bartenders here are fast and friendly. We took over the place on Sunday night which was a lot of fun but I'm sure Lucky B's gets crowded on the big nights and takes on a whole different personality. So bring a group of friends over to have some fun and chill out. Lucky B's is the perfect spot to do nothing and really enjoy yourself!

    I was there over the weekend at first it was empty so I was OK but then we got a crowd of about 15 people with only One bartender took us about 20 minutes to get a drink we decided to leave because it was horrible order a long island ice tea had to ask the bartender to put some more sour mix only thing he got right was a Petrone shot I mean how can you mess that up right

    Skee-ball!

    I recently discovered Lucky B's when searching online for skeeball in Raleigh. Apparently there's a Raleigh Skeeball League that calls Lucky B's home on Wed. and Thurs. nights. And it's easy to see why. Lucky B's main selling point for me is games, games, games: they've got table-top galaga/digdug (50cents a game), photoHunt, pool ($1 - the far table is kinda warped) and 3 SKEEBALL machines ($1 for 9 balls)! I was there on a Monday night right at opening and we were the first couple in the joint. By the night's end 3-4 more couples had wandered in and were just chilling playing games together. The music was 70s and 90s rock (RHCP, Aerosmith, Queen, Weezer) and fit the vibe of the place very well. There's lots of neon lights and the bathrooms are clean, but the toilet seats are kinda wonky. There's also an area with couches (couches I would NEVER sit in) in one corner. Typical dive bar fare. The drink special was $3 wells and our gin and tonics were tiny but also quite alcoholic! The barkeep was pretty cool and said that on Mondays and early on Fridays it's pretty chill and you can get most of the games to yourself. Also, once I got home I thought I had left my phone there (which I never do) and the bartender walked me all around the place with the bar phone to see if we could hear it ring. So nice of him! Of course, I found it wedged in my laptop case inside my bag at home later.... :) Went back that Wednesday night later in the night and had a slightly different experience. The bartender was playing some psychedelic southern rock and aggro-metal (godsmack, random ACDC ). The crowd was solidly in their 20s and mostly dudes. At one point around midnight one guy got a call from a friend and he loudly announced "they're coming here...girls!"...awesome...we figured we better close our tab... I definitely second Tom S.'s suggestion that Lucky B's would be ideal as part of a bar crawl. And perhaps it gets overly crowded on the weekends, but as a weekday couple's game-night dive bar destination it's pretty rock solid!

    Cool hangout

    Zan is the best bartender I've ever had, everyone needs to come here to chill and get your drink…read moreon. Made my friends birthday the best experience ever, would hang out with him socially given the chance

    Want to go to a nice place to unwind after a long day? Don't go here! If you don't trust me, check…read morethe other 20 one-star reviews describing the poor and discriminatory service provided by Chris Pope. Chris is a racist and demeaning bartender. I have been going to this establishment for several years, but I am now forced to avoid it on Thursdays (when Chris Pope works) because he is unreasonably rude and insulting. Even his own co-bartender begged him to, "not be an a--hole tonight," before the two of them fought in the back. It is incredibly disappointing and hurtful, and, frankly, it raises serious concerns about the bar's negligent--or, based on the copious negative reviews, reckless--retention of this employee. Zog's, an otherwise fine establishment, opens itself up to needless liability due to Chris' inability to perform his role without aggressive and embarrassing theatrics. Several other bartenders have called him out on his unacceptable service, including Daniel, but they all refuse to report it because they are afraid of the consequences. (If Daniel were the sole bartender, Zog's would likely have nothing except five-star reviews.) No one wants to work with him, and no one wants to attend this bar. Numbers are dwindling, and other patrons universally acknowledge that they, too, avoid Zog's solely because of Chris. I am keen on taking this further and will not relinquish my efforts until Chris Pope is let go. Zog's is a great establishment that is being ruined by his presence. For those disappointed by this result, Four Corners is a great bar just up the street! I would suggest going there, where the bartenders are courteous. I genuinely hope management takes these concerns seriously, because Zog's could be a great spot-just not on Thursdays.
