Went for the first time tonight and it is a no frills bar but, sometimes that’s all you need. Joe and Den Den were excellent bartenders and the vibe was very cool even when dealing with me and my energetic friends. I’d definitely return!
Love this place! The regulars are friendly and welcoming. The people who work there are also very friendly. I go there for karaoke nights. Lots of good singers. Extremely well run karaoke by David Price. I look forward to this every week!
They stole money off my debit card.thats called fraud.wich is illegal.
Love this place and the staff is incredible theyre fast efficient and definitely know how to give great service. By far my favorite bartender is Kristy she is always full of energy and has a real passion for this place. I definitely will recommend this place to everyone and I myself will be back
This is the worst bar Ive ever been to we got the worst service they didnt have the drinks we asked for and to top it off she over charged me too!
Absolute rip off, we ordered $21 worth of drinks but somehow my bank account was charged for $34. There were signs that said if you took the merchant copy receipt your card would be charged 20% gratuity, well I never got a copy of any of the receipts. The bartender would take the card and immediately hand it back with no receipt. Besides that 20% would have been like $25, not $34. Beyond this illegal, cash grabbing scheme, you can be charged for everything in this place. FIVE DOLLARS A PERSON PER HOUR FOR POOL, I mean that is outrageous. It would explain why when walked in only one other person was in the bar. This place is full of dirty tables and broken/torn furniture. AVOID at all costs... or pay cash.
I love going to this place so not me but is always got me laughing service is on poin t n very friendly n laid back
Im a regular at this bar for a reason. The staff is always amazing and go above and beyond their duties. Ive befriended all the bartenders here and Ive only been coming for a few months. The beer is cheap and cold, and the mixed drinks are the perfect kind of strong and made to order. I bring all of my friends here And they always end up coming back even without me. 10/10 would recommend:)
Rude bartenders last night, except for the guy he is always solid. They served me a bad beer and told me it was the law to charge me for it. Its not the law to charge me for a bad beer that I couldnt drink. This was the first time Ive never tipped, which was very hard for me to do, because Im a bartender. Skunked beer happens, dont charge people for it though. Owner needs help with this place, those bartenders are not it.
Great place to grab a drink after work and chill with fun people. Staff is amazing and make up most of the good parts of the atmosphere. Karaoke night is a great place to bring friends, and they manage to have a lot of the fun, older, and/or obscure music out there. Great people, great fun, bring friends!
Great bar. Love the staff and the atmosphere. Easy going. Good people. All in all lots of fun and great place to hang out
Cool bartender and service
Its a great place for a beer and pool if thats all you want. Its a good hole in the wall, neighborhood joint.
This place is amazing. Big space, friendly environment, the service is fantastic. I always feel welcome. I play pool, Darts sing Karaoke, chill-out and smoke hookah on the outside patio. Its just cool I recommend big time.
I’ve been going to Champs for years! I really love this bar. Danny and Ryan have been very consistent with their service with me, even though Ryan is relatively new.However, I have had recurring problems with Kris. Kris has been working at Champs for about a year now, give or take. She has consistently messed up my drink orders or delayed service by passing me over for customers she knows better.On the most recent occasion, I ordered a Jägerbomb, which was on the specials menu. This should be a very consistent and simple drink to make. You can’t really go wrong with a half glass of red bull and a shot of Jäger on the side. Kris served me a rocks glass with a one ounce measure of Jäger and topped the glass up with Redbull out of the soda gun. I looked at her and told her that that was not what I ordered, and I would have ordered Jäger mixed with RedBull instead. She told me they didn’t have shot glasses so this was the way she could make it. Then served me another rocks glass full of red bull.I went in two days later and ordered a Jägerbomb from Ryan and lo and behold he brought me a half glass of RedBull with a brown shot glass of Jägermeister on the side.This might not seem like much, even though it is my freshest memory of my experience with her. But combined with putting other people’s drinks on my tab, being ignored at the bar for 15+ minutes while holding an empty beer glass and Kris talking to a regular next to me, overcharging my group of friends for pool games, and generally just being inconsistent with service to a large group of people, it adds up.I still go to Champions and take my business there because of the other excellent bartenders. However, I now try my best to avoid being served by Kris so there will be no further issues on my tabs.
Danny is probably the coolest bartender in this shopping center. Liked him more when he had long hair but I️ can deal with his new haircut....I️ guess.
Big space and great people. The karaoke on Mondays and Wednesdays are super fun! Also, the afternoon regulars are very friendly and chill.
Its a shame more people dont go there, its a great bar
Very expensive pool. A buddy and I decided to play a few games of pool here on a Tuesday night. For two and a half hours of pool, we paid $24, on top of the few beers we got. There was no advertisements about the pricing of the games and the bartender also failed to mention how expensive it was. And the music was also all over the place, so heads up on that. Honestly, 2/10, will NOT go back because of pricing.
Chill spot its never crazy and the blonde bartender is awesome
Pretty bad bar that is usually empty. The beers are not particularly cold. Seems to have some potential however the staff is atleast somewhat down to earth.
Lots of Pool Tables and a good place to just hang out.
The bartenders are nice and the drinks are reasonable
First time in the bar and get served a watered down red bull and vodka. When I said red bull and vodka I really mean watered down red bull.I attempted to have the drink remade but the bartender insisted that there were at least 2 shots of vodka in the drink when anyone with tastebuds could tell its nothing but red bull.Doesnt help that it was hard enough to get her off if the patrons she was seemingly flirting with for an extended duration.
Take your friends and enjoy a nice beverage and play some pool and leave the drama behind.
Awesome bar, sexy bar tenders, decent beverage selection, pool tables, karaoke, darts, foosball, whats not to love?
Been going here for years the bartenders take care of you like family. Thank you Brandon, Ellie, Toni, Seville and Kristy.
Champs saving grace is David Price karaoke.
They have the Best Friday Night Bar DJ in Raleigh.
