Poor Paul's Pourhouse

The only bad thing I really have to say is that the parking situation in the area is abysmal due to being on the Tennessee strip and next to other, louder establishments.

I am not a barfly, and was pleasantly surprised by the bearable level of cigarette smoke and particularly the special they apparently run with some frequency of $2.50 top shelf liquor drinks.

Digital jukebox, a handful of pool tables, and free darts all make for a bit of activity if you don't want to sit and talk. Speaking of talking, I was here late on a Friday night and could actually TALK! Yes, there was music and also the televisions were showing athletic events, but none of it was unbearably loud as you get at a place charging cover and blaring terrible cover band music.

Speaking of which, NO COVER! It's painted on the building, so I'm assuming that is always the case. I also really appreciated this place being 21 and up. No armband or other crap. Just check ID at the door and you are in.

Parking is terrible and Bullwinkle's is next door, so do keep that in mind.

In short, for this none boozehound, Poor Paul's made a positive impression on me and if I am looking for a spot to go out with some friends, knock back a few, and chat or watch a ballgame, this place will definitely be in the running.

Editing my review to say that I see others complaining about the bartenders. Maybe I just got lucky, but all the workers were very polite and professional with me.

It's an ok little bar. They have a lot of special nights that allow for cheap drinking, like ladies night where I think the draft beer is 1$. The best nights are Sunday and Monday night, though. They give out free pizza from Gumby's and it's a mad grab for the slices. Every pizza slave for themselves, suckers.

Decent place. Less crowded and feels more cozy than other bars.
