A comfortable sleaze mingles in Carol's Pub. It's a dive, for sure, but it doesn't have a biker-fraternity prone-to-fighting atmosphere. It's a honky tonk, but it's also a simple drinking hole that's not solely for fans of country music. Cowboys & derelicts alike live it up in this delightfully rank house of booze.
With $1 Busch bottles, it's a poor drinker's paradise with a lively and friendly clientele that ensures a good time. People have fun drinking here, which is a huge departure from most dives where misery and violence are the preeminent forces in the air. Carol's is certainly not for everybody. Rush Street patrons couldn't find a less agreeable place for their night out. An older crowd, many of whom are life drop-outs, is not likely to care too much about passing stangers, especially young rich ones. They do, however, share their happiness with anyone willing to adapt to the bar.
Carol's is a bar for rowdy drinking and good country music. It's not party to the new pop-country Grammy-oriented songs. The music you'll hear at Carol's is authentic, genuine country and honky tonk. As are the staff and crowd. (Adam Payne)
