| - Whats better than a bar in the back of a gas station? A bar in the back of a snow cone shop.
If you live in the Cornelius area, then you absolutely have to love this place. #1 because where else can you go to listen to music and dance in this town? And by that, I mean the often tortuous (sometime amazing) sounds of karaoke 7 nights a week and the grindage of barely 21 baby faced pups who arrive with their squad of millennials to "bring back" Glee. I can't hate on it, or them for that matter... This is just another place in my sweet town that I often call a home away from home. Even though I can walk there. These people look at me cross-eyed when I don't order my double tall vodka soda. I am not one to wait in line for much so I always order a "large" when I go out.
Here's the scoop, my friends:
Drinks - If you like basic college beer... This is your place. Don't get me wrong, I do love a great craft beer. My wallet just can't afford that all of the time. But lets face it, I am of the age and waist-line that I will probably be sticking to vodka or red wine. And that have both. Saeed does often have a local brew on site every down and then. Maybe on tap? IDK bc I don't go there for that. As far as $$$ goes, beer or the jello shots are the biggest bang for your buck. I hear of people c/o the liquor prices but I feel like $10 for a double isn't horrible.
Pro-Tip... pay in cash. It'a very busy place and extra drinks have often been placed on tabs, I hear.
Vibe - They used to have couches. Gross, right? Kinda, but it also suited the vibe of the place. This place is not classy by any means. Smoking was allowed on the "indoor patio" up until last year so you would reach of cigarettes and poorly thought our decisions the next morning. But gone are the couches and cigarette smoke. This place has karaoke 7 days a week from open to close. Literally 7 days a week. Listen, if you catch me there, I am singing one of two songs: Mandy Moore's "Candy" or "Teenage Dirtbag" by Wheatus. I don't sing anything else and please don't expect me to dance while I sing... just don't. Onward... Think grungy bar type establishment and just have some fun. Play some pool, cornhole or hang out on the patio. They have some amazing/impressive looking sand volleyball courts. I don't play, but they look pretty.
People - Employees are great here. They did kick me out once for bringing in a big boy can of PBR, but can I blame of brother for following rules, laws and such? But, really, they are great. If you go enough, the bartenders look out for you in the best way and the locals are always a great time to hang around. Fri/Sat are busy nights. 11:30pm you are talking to your friends, singing as many songs as you like and then 11:45pm there are 200 people in there and it can be shoulder to shoulder. If you hate crowds, don't go during the typical "I am home from college holidays."
Whatever reviews you read and decide to follow the guidance of, this place is definitely a bucket list item you have to check off.
