Sam's Lounge — Restaurant in Jackson

Really terrible service. All the plaid, beards and skinny jeans made me just want to hack down a tree. A bunch of hipsters wanting to "slum it" in a dive bar. I'm certain that the place would be better if the place wasn't so douchey. Like, this makes sitting under a local overpass with your friendly neighborhood crackhead while passing a bottle of vodka back and forth seem desirable. Hell, even the roaches there have "millennial" tattoos. How hip is it to have Mrs Pac-Man at the door? What? No Donkey Kong? Qbert? What happened to regular bars? The place smells like patchouli, Axe body spray and desperation. Oh, and poor choices.... Don't forget the poor choices. I'd give it half a star if I could, but the hipster with the golden retriever let me pet his dog while he tried to hit on some guy at the bar. Seriously, they let dogs roam around the bar. No. Effing. Lie. Don't believe me? Take your Florence and the Machine loving ass to Sam's Lounge and find out. Did you get mad at this review? Then this is the place for you. Did you laugh at this review? Then, avoid this place at all costs, or you'll end up buying a vape and end up with a French...

I'm giving this place two states only because I have a few friends that are regular patrons and enjoy hexing a few drinks here. First of all, nothing about this places screams 'welcoming.'The atmosphere is almost always just awkward (for lack of a better term). The last time I visited, I wasn't really in the mood to drink, so I shot a few games of pool with some friends of mine without a drink. All was well until the bartender left his post for the sole reason of approaching me to explain "the rules." He told me and only me "you know how things work 'round here. If ya ain't spending money, ya gotta go." I bought a beer for my friend and myself then stayed all of ten more minutes...until the nightly drunken obnoxious fight breaks out. Two stars is like giving a goldfish the Nobel Peace Prize for memory and problem solving. Best of luck...

Really cool place ..as for you know how it wooks around here its true...like everywhere else..drink and hang out...no drink it is not a regular pool hall or arcade...regaurdless of a few peoples experience. ..it is in place for your saftey as well as others....from most reviews i have read people admit that they were not in mood to drink...#1dont come to bar if you do not want to drink....#2 dont come with attitude.
