Pearl & Peril — Restaurant in Raleigh

On New Years Eve, my friend declined a hug from a security guard, so he removed her from the bar with excessive force by throwing her outside onto the concrete. She was bleeding from several places and had nasty bruises the next day. We were not allowed inside to file a formal complaint the night of the incident. Eventually, we were able to make the bar aware of potential legal action being taken against their employee.

A few weeks later, my friend who had been brutally removed found herself banned from nearly every bar on Glenwood Avenue. Each bar said it was because “…of her fighting on New Years Eve.” My friend never laid her own hands on a single person. She only defended herself with her words, like an adult, after being physically hurt. Why is she being retaliated against for being wronged?

My friend has been hurt and left totally without support by the bars in Raleigh.

The service here is terrible the bartender tonight with the dj clay and scootch black with white words shirt has terrible service and makes an even worse drink and gets upset if you tell him his drinks taste like flat soda his response was we sell 100's of these and I don't reply my husband states we can pay for the drinks and leave he mumbles under his breath we pay and he mumbles under his breath then when I took my phone out he says I can re make your drink I said don't bother. They probably do sell 100's of those drinks to people in there 20's that I am not and know a good drink. Don't water your time if you want good vibes and good drinks you get...

Hands-down one of my favorite spots on Glenwood! It’s one of those places where I feel proud to leave the bartenders an extra large tip because It’s obvious that the awesome people make this place what it is.

My friends joke that P&P is my first, middle, and last spot. Other spots simply don’t compare to this vibe when out for a...
