If you are in the mood for some honky-tonk action and cheap beer, Sneaky has found the perfect live music venue for you (Hewww Dawgie!). Carol’s pub is not for the faint of heart, but if you can get past the shady crowd and stinky stale beer odor, you can hear some authentic live country jams. Sneaky suggests putting on your nastiest cowboy gear (and by “nasty” we mean that the Health Board would not approve) and head there on a Thursday night for Country Karaoke – it’s free.

You can always rely on good music available for your listening pleasure every day of the week, 365 days a year (except on Leap Years, but heck you’ll be tapping your toes too much to notice a missing day).
