Flex — Restaurant in Raleigh

Lit. I mean LITERALLY one of the BEST bars in town. Great music drinks and atmosphere. The staff here are fantastic and so sweet and friendly[ At least the ones ive met] and because of them you're not just a patron of the bar you become family, they really make the whole atmosphere inclusive and so loving and accepting. All of my best memories with friends have happened in Flex and I've made so many friends because of it. I have had countless laughs and cries here it really feels like home when I walk in. I've not met the owner but he is in very frequently and from what I hear is just as great as his staff. I cannot recommend this place anymore 5000 stars. Flex and Staff and friends now family I love you!

The regulars are more like a family here, they have claimed their seats and built a strong...

Man this place has gone downhill. Well, most of the gay bars in Raleigh have. But the reply from an owner with "too bad" when I asked "you're closing at 12:30 during pride" takes the mismanagement cake. No wonder the gay scene here has been dying a slow death. Legends and Flex have shared owners and none of them care.

Oh and they ran out of ice... And well alcohol... I guess maintaining their equipment and stock falls to the wayside along with celebrating pride. It's just a shame that they've decided to basically throw out their best patrons. It's definitely not a gay bar anymore. It's run like a...
