B J's Carousel

First off, no, there's no smoking. Ok, so that's how it is pretty much anywhere now. Second, the show started almost a half hour late. I'm sorry, what's so hard about getting a half dozen geriatric drag queens to start their show on time? Oh yeah.... It might be that they're older than Moses and can't read a clock to know when they're supposed to show up. Big.... Big.... BIG waste of time. Wretched lip synching. Bartender is tidy with the pour. More soused patrons than chairs. We were really looking forward to some hilarity and entertainment but ended up walking out after 3 acts. Pros: Great if you've broken out of the nursing home and are hard up. Cons: Um, lousy entertainment, lousy drinks, lower blue class clientele? more

This bar has to be the friendliest place in town. And the owner Bob is a gem to the community. more

I had a great time there this past Tuesday. I was in town on business and made the mistake of going to 60 South on Monday night- what a bore. But this place was fun on Tuesday night. The strippers were all very good looking and really worked hard for their tips. It wasn't real croweded, but that was fine with me - more attention from the guys. more
