Hughs Jungle Room

I can't believe no one has reviewed this place!  And in case this doesn't get updated, they've moved to Merle Hay Road, just south of I-80.  

Hugh's gets 5 stars, not because it's a classy, well-attended bar with clean facilities and great drinks.  No, Hugh's gets 5 stars because there is nowhere else in town where you can go, any night of the week, and see ELVIS!  

This place has karaoke every night, rain or shine.  The new location is a bit nicer (the old one used to be a Pizza Hut, and smelled of cigarettes and broken dreams).  Be prepared to see people your parents' age making complete fools of themselves, singing drunken songs from their youth.  I was here on Saturday and a woman in her 40s fell over drunk at least four times before someone finally decided it was a good idea to take her home.  I've never seen trouble, here, though, just maybe some folks having a little TOO much "fun".

The Jungle Room is owned by Hugh himself, a man who has probably seen Elvis live more than any other living human (for all I know, he still sees him), and he channels him each night as he rocks out to "Viva Las Vegas" or "Teddy Bear" on stage.  Complete with sideburns, black jeans, and wiggling hips, Hugh is not to be missed.  You can tell he really loves his bar!

You'll also get a good mix of a younger crowd, 20s and 30s, and you'll probably be treated by a few people who can actually really sing.  Otherwise expect a night filled with raucous laughter at the expense of others.
