No Garnish for me!

by talkytina

Upon a friend's suggestion, I decided to check out Paladino's for one of their weekend shows back in November. The music was too loud, the bands were sub par, certainly not as great as the hype was. The worst part? The lime in my Stoli was MUSHY! Gross! I asked For another lime, and the bartender had to literally look through all of the limes to find one that wasn't disgusting. Ladies and Gentlmen...Avoid the fruit! And god knows what else is spoiled back there.

• Pros: easy valley location
• Cons: needs a facelift

Cool Bands

by thalab45

Cool spot for bands, I just wish they had a club night. I am sure they could generate a local crowd to dance there since there is no other places to go to. Yankee's is closed, someone should take advantage.

• Pros: Great Sound Huge Spot Great bands
• Cons: No Live DJ to dance. this place has room for it.

nice and loud dive bar with a little swagger

by jagmorris

I've been there several times to catch mostly tribute bands which were always very good (assuming you like that sort of thing). They are proud of their drinks (based on the price). Good sound system, and only occaisionally a bit too loud. Typically you can arrive around 10 and still have a good spot to see the stage.

I caught wind of the Foo Fighters playing an impromptu show which was a real treat. Dave Grohl mingled with the crowd before they went on; very cool.

Have a drink or two before you go, dress casual, and see some live music.

• Pros: Good sound, Laid back crowd, Cute bartenders
• Cons: Drink prices
