Yes, we’ll have game 2 of the Stanley Cup finals on the big screen, if you’re trying to find a calmer, more relaxing spot to watch it. We’re def not a sports bar, but can still show most things, so don’t be scared to ask! Right on Franklin street with plenty of good spots to watch. This goes for not only hockey, but the NBA finals, college basketball etc.

Bring some food, grab a few friends, and if hockeys not your thing, we have plenty of games or you can just hang on the porch with PiePan. She’ll love it.

Starts at 8pm. Come say hello if you’re out and about.

To the folks who will inevitably ask today, No we are not part of the giant UNC BarGolf going on after 6:30pm tonight. There are 9 bars/restaurants on the east end of Franklin participating, but us folks towards the west end and in Carrboro are not part of it. Obviously you’re still welcome to swing through, but just a heads up before the question is asked 100 times.

To the people that don’t know, around this time of the year there’s a giant BarGolf competition for UNC seniors going on. From what I understand it’s several thousand people this year, so it’s going to be utter chaos at those places tonight, so be careful if you’re going out looking for a laid back evening.

That being said a bunch of us are not part of it, so if you need an escape from the shenanigans, we’ll be here for you! Of course everybody is more than welcome to come hang out, but for those of you trying to escape it shouldn’t be that bad down this way and into Carrboro.

Hours tonight:
3pm-2am
(ALL AGES till 7pm and 18+ till 2am)

Be safe and may the odds be ever in your favor if you brave the Thunder-dome.
