Editorial Review for Poodle Dog Lounge – by Seth Sherwood
In Short
It may sound like a sewing circle and look like a strip club, but the Poodle Dog Lounge's low cinderblock confines contain all the trappings of a classic roadhouse. The long bar is lined with high-backed stools for a the mixture of middle-aged blue collar guys and long-time locals. The brighter back room, filled with several pool tables, attracts a bit more diverse crowd encompassing square-jawed pool sharks and a few 20- and 30-something hipsters.

Insider Tips
Where to SitRinging the main room are some small, cozy and surprisingly undilapidated booths. Perfect for intimate conversation.

Yes, you're right, it might be a bad idea to play some Snoop Dog when you're in a room full of hicks listening to country music all night. Just like it might be a bad idea to play some Waylon Jennings on the juke box in a club full of black people who have been listening to rap for the evening. Be aware of your surroundings.... It's really that simple. The place is a solid DIVE bar, great for people watching, shuffle board, pool, or a conversation. The patrons are rough looking, the atmosphere is circa 1983, and most people are genuinely nice.
Pros: cheap beer, wood paneling, free shuffle board
Cons: setups, cash only, no booths

Getting together with friends after work. We thought it was OK. We could bring our own bottle and buy the set up there, cheap beer , pool, shuffle puck board. Juke box was digital all types of music available. Downside, the womens restroom is not private. Open stalls with no doors or curtains. Not a crowded bar. The reason is its only a hang out for people who listen to country. Even though the juke box has a wide variety available. Your not able to listen to anything but counrty or you will get yelled at by the regulars.Per the REGULARS there. "This is Hickville" So and everyone else is not allowed. I do not recommend it to anyone. I had a bad experience there. I am not revisting this lounge. And telling all my friends not to.
Pros: cheap beer and wide variety of music on juke box
Cons: the regulars,dirty, no private stalls in womens restroom
