Sadlack’s Heroes is a bar/venue/sandwich joint on Hillsborough Street. Several months ago they did a complete renovation which was pretty much knocking down the previous building and rebuilding it in a similar fashion. It has plenty of outdoor seating.

Normally I don’t do sandwiches for dinner, but this place wins an exception every time. In my opinion, they have hands down THE BEST sandwich in Raleigh. I also don’t do fried foods, but their homemade chips (or fries) are so tasty that they are worth the unhealthiness that goes with fried items.

The location is a favorite for me personally, as it’s about a 2 minute walk from my house. Additionally, the location provides a great bird’s eye view of the Bell Tower intersection of Hillsborough St. Perhaps the biggest reason I am such a fan of this place is that it is a dog-friendly establishment (outside, anyhow). I generally pass by this place when walking the pup, and it’s neat that often there will be a dog or two hanging out on the patio for mine to play with.

This place is a Raleigh legend. If you haven’t been before, stop by and find out for yourself why it is.

If I were a single gentleman looking for a regular hangout spot on the weekends, this place would surely be it. Women seem to outnumber men by a factor of 3.

The DJ was playing good tracks and talented at scratching, the ladies plentiful, the bartenders fast and responsive. The interior design was amazing.

Last weekend after First Friday I went out with a friend to The Big Easy. I had never been there up until that point. Was a nice enough place. The building design was beautiful, the environment was very calm and relaxing.
