Irma's Place

My 2 star review could be debatable. If you are looking for a smoky bar to hang out with a bunch of locals-this is your place. Check it out! However if you are a young female, just getting off from work in professional clothes and high heels, you will definitely look out of place.

I can't say this is my type of hangout at all. And it is cash only, so don't walk in thinking you can use a debit card-I did that and quickly turned right back around out of the place.

We had stopped for the night in Manchester on a road trip and were out looking for places to kill some time.  We had already been to the couple of bars on the main drag. We had headed to downtown and found nothing. On a hunch we decided to head south on Hwy 55. But when nothing turned up, I decided to turn around. My friend stopped me though and encourage me to go just a bit further.

Then, there it was, ahead on the right -- the blinking lights of Irma's Place. A bonus bar... as none of our resources and indicated this would be here.

We arrived just after... a failed wet t-shirt contest. Apparently it was a success in that it had drawn a lot of guys, but no girls showed up to participate. :) Karaoke was now underway instead.

The bartender was friendly and she and the other guests welcomed the obvious strangers that we were.   This was a good place to wind down on this rainy November night.
