Current Zenith Raleigh partner Will Gibbs — the former general manager of Coglin’s — shared with the Triangle Business Journal that he has brought back some former Coglin’s staff members + DJ’s. He also noted that the bar will keep its love for 80s and 90s culture, but will shift towards incorporating more pop culture themes across different eras.
