Chips and Salsa Cantina

One of few bars in Huntsville where one can enjoy a ballgame, smoke a cigar and enjoy a beer.  The food is excellent, as is the wait staff.  There are pool tables, dart boards and Buzztme Trivia if one is so inclined.  They have a full bar, but most alcohol is dispensed using a computer operated system, so no room for the bartender to add some flair.  Please note, there are LOTS of non-smoking bars in Huntsville, so rather than moan about this one, why not go elsewhere and let smokers have the two or three bars they have.  Wings, Buffalo Wild Wings, Fridays and Chili's are all excellent choices for the non-smoker...

I'm giving this place only 3 stars for two reasons:

1.  The smoking.  I know that outside of liberal California and tagalong Maryland, people like to smoke like chimneys.  However, if an establishment is going to allow its patrons to smoke, they need to have some sort of air filtration system so you can actually see across the room after 10pm.  This place is so smoky and disgusting, even your underwear stinks when you leave.

2.  They have installed pouring machines.  That means your shot is going to contain a bare minimum of alcohol.  I know this is the deep south, but hey, didn't Jesus convert water into wine?  All you're doing is wasting my time.

It is a bit of a culture shock, and I enjoy seeing my man visit his hometown, but they could easily make this place a lot more fun if they stopped being so uptight.  Maybe Jello-o wrestling?
