Barry’s: Nightlife alternative
■by J. Christen Hayworth
A place to relax, a place to dance, or a place
to meet people—these phrases characterize
a myriad of night spots in Raleigh. How do
you choose from tiie multitude of options?
Allow me to make a suggestion for those
who are tired of beach music and Muffles.
Barry’s II offers those who dare to be differ
ent an inexpensive, casual night out.
What makes Barry's different? The num
ber one reason for my preference of Bany’s is
the selection of music. Band's patrons enjoy
dancing to music by U2. The Smithereens.
The Call, and a host of others. The music
menu consists mainly of progressive rock,
but adds a dash of music for people who fee!
Woodstock was the last great concert of the
century. Music by The Rolling Stones. The
Who. and The Doors is masterfully intert
wined among today's top choices.
It’s probably the music selection that
attracts the independent lot of patrons seen
passing through the thick, medieval-like
wooden doors of Barry’s. As one would most
likely assume, there is no such thing as
"wearing the wrong outfit’' People dress in
anything from jeans and cowboy boots to
black bubble skirts or pajama bottoms. Inci-
dently. it is unlikely that anyone would wear
khaki bermudas. a madras button down, and
penny loafers to Bany’s.
Located at 24061/2 Hillsborough Street.
Barry’s runs specials on drinks almost every
night of the week for those of us who have
to watch our budgets. Cover charges range
from $1 on weekdays to $2 on weekends.
People between the ages of 18 and 20 must
pay $3. Barry’s is open every night of the
week. •
Barry's is not a place for everyone, but if
you enjoy progressive music and being cas
ual. then try Bany's for a night
