My wife and I were looking for a local Pub/Tavern we could go hang out in, either just us or with friends, and many we found were "too something", too loud, too run-down, too expensive etc. So we found 'Round the Corner online and went to check it out in New Pal. It's very clean inside and out, we even went to check out the "bathroom situation" and it was also very clean. My wife hates to hover and we were good there. Inside it's got good modern paint and decorations and not too much cheapie promo crap on the walls. Some neon here and there is cool and with 6 flat screens there's lots of sports to watch. We wanted to try a couple things and our waitress Kelsey said they were famous for their pizza. They are, and we found out why. It is VERY good. It's a touch on the greasy side but still really good. We got the 16" deluxe and it was really good. We ended up taking a little more than half of it home so for the $23.95 or so it was still a good deal. We'd have had more but we also had the tater skins when we first got there and they were really good too....not greasy burnt balls of slop like at some places. As for drinks, one website said they were beer/wine only and that is false. They have the full gamut of mixed drinks, bottled beers and wine but NO beers on tap...so you're bottle drinkin' if you're drinkin' beer. Now that we've been there we will get the 12" pizza, no appetizer and plan on doing some drinking. Kelsey told us the Karaoke is a good time and so we plan to go back for that. It's family friendly too, kids till 10pm I think. There were kids there when we were and all adults in the roped off bar area. One thing I'd change if I could would be a wall of booths on the south side of the room. They have backed bar stools at the bar and round tables everywhere else...A row of booths over there would really cozy the place up and encourage all-night hanging out but the homey feel and dim lighting make it a good hangout. Chairs are solid and padded comfy too. We've definitely found our local...
Ā Ā Ā Read moreI had the pleasure of stopping in here while I happened to be going through this town. I ordered the traditional bone in wings. The smallest order is 10 wings (I definitely couldn't eat more than that). I really wanted to try the General Tso's and the mild wings. I asked if I could have half and half, only to be advised they don't offer that in 10 wings, they only offer it for the 20 wings. I definitely can't eat 20 and I still had another state to drive through on my trip, so taking any to go was not an option š. I was really disappointed. I ordered the mild wings. They were a little vinegary for my taste but my hubby loves the vinegary kind! The sauce was a little watered down but otherwise pretty good. My husband got the inferno and said they weren't that hot, but were still pretty tasty. The service was fast and friendly. If I ever stay in that area again I will stop and try the 20 piece to take with and give a fair review of a few other flavors! All in all good service and...
Ā Ā Ā Read moreSmall hometown bar in New Pal. Cool vibes and great staff. I was lured there by a recommendation that it had "the best pizza". I ordered wings as well. The Carolina Gold traditional wings were very good even if they were heavy on sauce. The pizza however was a disappointment. The crust was wet and limp. Although the overall taste was good, I wish the slices had not been soggy. I'd be willing to give it another try because it seems like a cool bar but I may try something else from their menu besides the pizza.
UPDATE: It seems as if there has been a change. Maybe it was just because it was a weekday, but it seemed more family friendly than before. There is some new seating and the menu has changed. Unfortunately the Carolina Gold wings are no longer an option. I was much happier with the pizza. It was very tasty with a crispy crust and plenty of toppings. I've upgraded my rating from my first review to...
