Sam's Town Point

Oh wow I cant believe I haven't written a review about Ol' Sam's Town Point yet. I have been going here for years and I love this bar!

It is definitely a neighborhood bar. The staff is friendly and there is always local music, Ramsay Midwood is one of my favorites, he plays there on a regular basis. Sams is on a residential street and is what used to be two manufactured homes that is now combined to make this rad bar. There are pool tables, darts and a stage for live music, in the back is a big deck with table and leads down to a gravel backyard with picnic tables.

Sam's regularly hosts all kinds of cookouts for fundraisers and shows and on the weekends usually has someone out back making tacos so you can get your munch on while your throwing back a few. Speaking of throwing back a few, Sam's only offers beer and wine, you can bring your own booze and pay for set ups. Its pretty awesome watching all of the brown-bagged liquor bottles being passed back and forth, it gives it a feeling that your going to your buddy's house to hang out for a couple of drinks so you byob'd.

If you're down South go to Sam's Town Point and have a beer, play some pool, strike up a conversation. I will probably see you there.

I love this dive. The music was good, my beer was cold and the pool table was empty. It's down the street from my house making the long walks home priceless!

You're lookin' at a girl who isn't a big fan of dive bars. I've also put off checking out Sam's Town Point for a while because the idea of a bar in a trailer didn't really float my boat.

I was sorely mistaken on all assumptions!

First, I really dig the location--it's all of 5 minutes from my house. Second, the place is giant. Third, the jukebox is so fun!

Fourth, and most awesome of all, this bar has some really entertaining characters. We had fun talking to some of the regulars, and Sam himself, about catfish, dancing, music and more. We were there on a slow night, but I hear live music draws a crowd and local and traveling biker crews.

I was a little surprised at the price of a Lone Star - $3 seems high. But everything else about this place was magical.
