How can you NOT dig a place that has redneck karaoke every Tuesday night? On my frequent travels to Mobile (and stays at the neighboring Hampton Inn) it's easy to head next door to Veet's for a cold beer and some local flavor. When I arrived here on a Tuesday evening for the karaoke night, I ran into some of the funniest entertainment around. I have never heard so many people sing so many depressing country songs in one night. The beer is cold, the people are friendly and the karaoke is depressingly funny on Tuesday nights. Go.
Review Source:I always feel totally at home when I walk into Veet's... the doorman is lovely and laid back and the bartenders are attentive.
If you're looking for some schmoozy spot don't go here, Veet's is a dive bar with a really local atmosphere and you get the sense that most people in there are regulars who are always friendly with the travellers that come in from the surrounding hotels. Its kind of dirty and old and dank and the walls are covered with photos of the regulars doing kinda shady things- but personally, that's what I look for in a bar!
My favorite thing about Veet's is probably the reasonably priced beer, and the pool table. They also have a karaoke night there (I think on Thursdays) but only go if you're a fan of singing that's so godawful it's awesome.
BEst place to be on Joe Cane Day and Mardis Gras or just about anytime for mucsic. Â Good pub food. Very friendly and fast bartenders. Big spacious place with live music most of the week. Heck it feels like my home town pub. 3 years in a row for a week in Mobile. It feels like visiting old friends. Â It is the place I'd like to be today.
Review Source:"Where everybody knows your name..." Â Just a stones throw from Dauphin St and literally stumbling distance from the Renaissance Hotel where we stayed.
Being in town for the Senior Bowl 3 years running, it's good to know that there's a place to go where you receive that good down south hospitality. With generous pours of your choice and ice cold beer served by the energetic likes of Gina, Robyn and Heather, you can't go wrong.
Couple that up with decent late night bar food and a very good house band and you have the winning combination for not only a great time but one that seems to pass by way too quickly.
An added plus this year was the fact the Mardi Gras overlapped the football game which meant we were there for the bead throwing parades that go right past the front door. Long may this place live to entertain!
