Who knows when or how it happened, but Poplar Street Pub is the college-scene bar right now. Offering a casual eating and drinking experience early in the evening, the place starts to bustle as the sky darkens and the live music starts. Luckily, it’s larger than it looks from the outside, with multiple rooms, two bars, table service and a patio.
First of all - who the hell can't charge a cover charge onto a credit card? Why do I have to go to an ATM machine to get cash to pay a cover? But don't worry, the outrageous $3 cover charge isn't the end of the gouging. Be prepared to pay $5 for parking as well as overpaying on drafts and shot, plus a tip on top of it all. But don't worry, you'll be waiting for your drinks for a looooong time and when they do come don't expect your shots to be completely filled or for the wait staff to get your order correct. But it all seems to be par for the course for the wait staff who will look at you like you're an idiot if you try to correct their screw-ups. NOT recommended at all.
