Looking for A Great Sports Bar in North Raleigh or Wake Forest (Must Have Darts!)
I have been to lots of sports bard in Downtown Raliegh, andd I have hit a few of the Carolina Ale Houses in the area, but I am looking for a good sports bar closer to my house in N. Raleigh. I don't have ESPN at home and need to hit a bar tomorrow to see my Hokies take on Boston College! I am hoping to find a nice bar with a few good tvs to watch the game, some inexpensive beer specials, and maybe throw a few darts (that way if the hokies lose I can pretend like I am not really interested in the game and that I am only there to play darts!)
I have been to Front Row Sports Bar on New Falls of Neuse and Tailgaters on E Millbrook and they aren't too bad but wasn't all that impressed. How is Odwyers Irish Sports Pub in Wake Forest? Do they have a few dart boards? Any others worth checking out in N. Raleigh or Wake Forest?
Thanks!

Rudinos on Strickland Road has a rooftop bar area. No kids after a certain hour.
I'm not sure about the darts.

O Dwyer's had darts last time we were there. My husband likes he place a lot! He and his friends go and have their garbage plate (which is as gross or a good as you think it would be!!!). They like the place, for sure. It never seem to get too crowded during the week, which is nice (fewer smokers).

O'Dweyer's is a great place. They have both English and Electronic darts. Good staff, treat them well.

It's a mix. They always have a live band on Saturday's...so it can get a bit loud and the crowd can vary depending on the band playing. |

O'Dweyer's was great. The football game on the other hand was a dissapointment. It was difficult to watch the Hokies let it slip away with just 2:11 left in th game! Oh the humanity! 
Fredericksburg.com - For Hokies, this loss came out of nowhere
O'Dweyer's gets a thumbs up from me. Seemed like a nice local sports bar. Nice Wait staff, good food and inexpensive beer. I'll go back. |

Being from VA, I was never and am still not a big hokies fan. In the DC area they have them as a "local team" on their sports page, yet they neglect the true local teams (minus UMD and Georgetown). |
