Varina Sports Bar

no thank you.

What can I say, its a Sports Bar in Fuquay Varina!  This was our first time here in years, and I think now it is called the Brick, if I'm not mistaken.  Its a great place for drinks, beers, locals, playing pool and to listen to live music.  There was only 1 bartender working the Friday Night we went, and the place got pretty full so the later it got, the longer it took to get drinks.  The staff was working hard though to keep things in order.  There is an outdoor smoking area that is surrounded by a brick wall to keep the smokers directly out of the elements.  I don't smoke and could only tolerate about 20 seconds out there before I got smoked back indoors (yes, it is an outdoor patio!) so I spent most of my time watching the band and the pool players while my smoking friends were out there.  Descent bathrooms.  Not a bad place, especially if you are a local!

Closing May 26...they're having a "going away" party that day/night.  

I ordered a pizza from J & S across the street & was told it would be about 30 minutes...since J & S doesn't offer the most welcoming atmosphere to sit & enjoy a drink while you wait for your food, I walked across the street to this place.  The inside matched the outside-- typical dive bar, with a "Cheers" type vibe.  It's a shame it's closing though, seemed to have a lot of potential in regards to location & actual space...nice spot at the end of a building in downtown Varina with a small outdoor patio, pool tables, & a small stage for bands.  Hopefully something fun will take it's place!!
