80s themed bar to open in Raleigh

Doc Brown might not be a stakeholder, but Coglin's Raleigh plans to take you back....to the 1980s! 

The bar, set to open at the end of this month in the 200 block of Fayetteville Street, will pay homage to some of the greatest 80s entertainers, including Michael Jackson. 

Zack Medford, senior partner with Isaac Hunter's Hospitality, let us get a sneak peek of the place before it opens. The project is said to have been spearheaded by the mysterious "Randy Coglin," a bartender from the 1980s. 

One of the coolest things planned - drinks named after 1980s superstars. I am a little nervous to try the Corey Feldman...

You can track their progress and find out more about their opening night on their website, Randy's Twitter page and the Coglin's Facebook page.

Find out more about Coglin's by watching our interview with Medford.
