This was an interesting joint! Â It is so weird to walk into a bar and be able to smoke inside. Â I am not a smoker so it totally burned my eyes, but other than that I was fine.
I like the way the bar is setup in the center of the place. Â It is very accesible but took a while to get service.
We spent a quite a bit of time in the small room where they do karaoke. Â The DJ was on it. He kept everything moving and kept us entertained between acts.
In the main room they had a live rock band that played decent music. Â
Fun little spot to go to hang out with friends but definitely not a posh night club.
Date of visit: 12/30/2011 - Â I come here 4 to 6 times yearly, that is to say, every-time I'm in Huntsville / Madison area visiting my mom and dad. I bring my dad here to play pool and drink a few beers with him. I've yet to try the food, but my dad isn't into bar food like I am.
The reasons while I like The Station:
#1. Â They open at 4pm daily and it is usually quiet here until the night scene starts, so I can chat with my almost deaf dad without having to shout my brains out.
#2. Â They have two of my favorites on tap: Blue Moon and Yuengling. The Yuengling is $2 bucks a draft. Healthy serving size for the money, frosty cold glass and right to the brim... yum!!!
They also have four Bar-box pool tables, which are in fantastic shape for bar tables. A buck a game is a little steep, but because of # 1 & #2, I can really live with this. Pool is something my dad can still play despite the severe arthritis in his ankles and wrists.
The Station earns 3 Stars because of the above, and the waitress earned them another star because she recognizes us as regulars even though it is only 4-6 times yearly and makes sure she says hello and takes good care of us (Not to mention, she's a rather attractive woman too)!!!
Cheap beer, good pool, and a cute waitress.... all the good things in life to help my dad continue to enjoy his.
I'm glad I found this place. Â Being a california transplant, this place is cheap. Â I went with my honey on Saturday night and we had a good time. Â The drinks were relatively cheap and the crowd was friendly. Â The beer waitress had the funniest t-shirt. Â It said "I want to see you naked". Â We will definitely be coming back to this place.
