"No Triangle sports bar list is complete without a mention of this long-standing watering hole near North Carolina State’s campus. For almost 75 years PR, as it’s known by locals, has been serving up its legendary freshly ground burgers, like the Bernie with bacon and provolone. But don’t let the sports bar label fool you — this may be one of the only sports bars to have gotten the nod from Wine Spectator for its wine list." - Elliott Harrell
