Yep.  All of the above, and a focus on the beer, make it a safe 
recommendation for a newcomer whose tastes I'm unfamiliar with. 
Definitely more enjoyable than many of the other warehousey 
establishments downtown and less of a dive than some joints I might have 
advised a stranger into seeking out.  He may turn out to be a regular at 
any one of the Jackpot, Sadlack's or even (ahem) Jillian's for all I 
know.  (If I was a betting man, I'd take that DBT's hint a go with 
Sad's) And though there are plenty of places I enjoy going to, 
personally, I've not yet found my ideal beer joint/corner bar in Raleigh 
yet.
