Carol's Pub

Fun country bar!
Pros: Live band, open late, lots of room to dance, friendly service.

Cons: Dirty, cover charge, bathrooms are yuck.

I think I've reached an age where the dive-ey "charm" of a spot just isn't enough to sell me anymore. At least when the service is cold on a slow night, and the music's at a high enough volume to make conversation difficult. I'm sure this place can turn into a hell of a good time if you catch it on the right night, but unless I have a specific reason I probably won't be back.

Descriptive phrase: get ready for a weird night.

Where do I even begin? $5 cover even for the ladies we came with. Dingey enterior with a long bar immediately then followed by a seating area and dance floor with stage. You know it's a classy bar when they have Red Dog beer signs all over the place.

Interesting crowd throughout the night ranging from geriatrics dressed for a ho-down to TapOut dudes to sorority girls. My friend got offered cocaine by a Latino cowboy and his extremely short sidekick. Where do these people come from?

A 4-piece country band played covers all night. Beer was more expensive than it should've been at $15 per pitcher of domestics, but service was quick. Cash only.

The appetizers I saw floating around looked absolutely disgusting. I literally saw a guy take a bite of the bruschetta and spit it back onto the plate.

I think the men's room used to be a jail cell.

I'm severly torn on how to rate this place. I would never go back, but if you want a weird night then Carol's certainly delivers.
