VERTIGO IS THE PEOPLE.
As everyone does, a BAR/DINER/HOME has good days and bad.
EVEN some of the Diner’s patrons have BAD days.
Trust if you didn’t like the service…you weren’t supposed to.
VERTIGO is my family. I know I’ll be back for cocktails regardless of ownership. There is a piece of me that “belongs” at the Vertigo like nowhere else in town. I can sit at the left tit and reminisce:*dancing to Bowie & Queen to summons customers to the empty building *Thursday night limbo contests & lost bets re:the number of live after 5 patrons to leave their coolers *j passing out in the men’s room *balls to the bar..anyone??? *what ever happened to the foliage pages? (miss you).
See you there WHENEVER I can

Here’s to hoping Ashley won’t turn this place into another over-priced yuppiefest like Vin and Raleigh Times (yeah, yeah, they’re just fantastic, I know). Old school Vertigo fans, who wouldn’t bring their kids to a BAR, know what I’m talking about. If they rip out the counter there, can you imagine a worse move in a place with an existing asset as fantastic as that?
I hate to see it go! It was my favorite bar here. First the old Stingray, now this.

It was closed this past Friday night.
Even though our last several experiences there weren’t good, I still hated to see it all dark. Sad. Here’s hoping for a resurgence.
