About the Business
Business owner information
Bates B.
Some know us as Lucky B's. Others know us a Lucky 13's. Still others know us as Around the Corner. No matter what they call us, we are known as Glenwood Souths' favorite hot spot. We redefine the look and feel of a "sports bar". People love us because they can meet their friends 7 nights a week, in their jeans, and get a drink without draining their wallets. Raleigh's favorite corner fun bar is located off Glenwood Avenue nestled behind Armadillo Grill. We have a diverse and eclectic clientele, talented bartenders, tavern games, year-round outside seating, and the cheapest beer and drinks in Raleigh! Our music isn't your typical top 40, off the radio mix. Our Jukebox and "house mixes" allow our patrons to hear everything from Billy Holiday to AC/DC to Nelly and the St. Lunatics.

By far my favorite place to go. I've been coming here for a couple of years & it's like family! Last night they threw down for Halloween which was a blast with karaoke, dancing & awesome costumes! Thank you Liz & your awesome bartenders for always making it such an amazing night!!!

Friday night on a winter night in January: display seems to be full of locals to know that this is the place to be if you don't have your expectations too damn high. I feel as if a lot of people come to cities expecting a lot, but they seem to just be a very local bar.. service is quick because there was not too many people ( about 50 people here.
This place is not too expensive and understands the clientele here.
I am from out of town, and I've been playing for dart, live DJ (local) nothing like edm. Felt safe here.
I would absolutely recommend stopping by waiting until about 10 o'clock to come through here on the weekend .
Hope you have fun.Helpful 2Thanks 0Love this 1Oh no 0 - Ashley P.Raleigh, NC2348Aug 15, 2023
This place is such a vibe! John the bartender was so nice (the cute one) I really enjoy myself and the music. The staff was everything! The owner even came out and greeted my table to make sure we were okay! I will be back to this spot!

Had friends visiting from South Carolina for the weekend and decided to visit this place. All four of us were denied because our IDs were "fake". All of us are well over 21. When asking the bouncer why he said he couldn't tell if they were real and he was "doing us a favor because they have undercover cops in here". Like what? Didn't argue too much because it was dead anyway but the whole situation was weird and uncomfortable. Don't try to go if you have an out of state ID.

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.Helpful 0Thanks 0Love this 0Oh no 0 - 3812741936May 3, 2018
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.Helpful 1Thanks 0Love this 1Oh no 0 - Samantha A.San Francisco, CA01Aug 14, 2023
I have been coming here for years and have never had an issue. Last night, was my first time visiting in a while and I had noticed a new (to me) bar added outside which I thought was cool. At this little bar there was a stool.. what are stools for? Oh I don't know, sitting? So I sit down and order my drink, next thing I know this pr*ck of a bar back or bartender John I believe his name is. (Not Jon the tall cute one) rushed up on me with a bucket of Ice and rudely tells me to get up and move and then lifts the bar table (which I didn't realize was an entrance) and tells me not to sit there and no one can. I simply said, "if you don't want people sitting here maybe don't put a chair there." And then walked away. A second later, he comes to kick me out Talk about a fragile ego. And that was my 2nd drink, Tina served me them so no I wasn't drunk. Just made a valid point and bruised his ego so he felt he needed to one up me and use the only power he had, which was to kick me out. You've lost my business and I will always mention this time when this bar is brought up in conversation

This bar was not very welcoming. It was 21 and up. I went one Tuesday night with some friends to celebrate my friend turning 21 and up. They took my brand new real ID (I am over 21) because they thought it was fake and handled the situation very poorly. I had to call the police and they still did not give it back to me. They then tampered and toor off the corner of my drivers license. I had to go back the next day with my birth certificate and passport to get it back.

Horrible service and hospitality.would never recommend to friends or family. Do not attend this bar unless you want to be disappointed. Not worth the time
Or money. Would give a zero star if possibleHelpful 1Thanks 0Love this 0Oh no 0
