Paul's Pub

Paul's is a tucked away bar on the glorious Racine strip that is Lathrop. It is the old English Room. It feels very much like hanging out in someone's house - almost like a house party in college. You will definitely want to know what you're looking for when you head out to Paul's, because it is easy to dismiss as a house. Parking is in the back and it is easy to miss the driveway.

I have been to Paul's several times and every time, Paul is there greeting people and making sure that everyone is taken care of. He might even take you up in a game of darts. He is very generous - offering free popcorn, reasonable prices on drinks and he wants you to treat his space like your own.

I have been visiting Paul's with friends after volleyball league on Thursday nights and it is usually busy - for a Thursday in Racine anyway. It offers a different kind of vibe than other bars in the town. It will be clean and chill. If you feel like lounging, hang out on the couches upstairs while you watch the game. Wanna throw some darts? Have at it. You can even golf upstairs!

They don't have a food menu (as far as I can tell) but I have seen people order in from the pizza joint down the block and Buckets Pub further down Lathrop.

Overall, welcoming alternative spot in Racine - glad that we stopped!
