Editorial Review for Aces & Eights Saloon – by Kara Zuaro

In Short
This roomy Western-themed bar is lined with bright red walls and deep booths, each equipped with a flat-screen TV. At the bar, some of the stools are fitted with saddles, and the beer pong (or Beirut) tables are decorated with cowboys. Aces & Eights draws a crowd of post-college kids who coat their stomachs with wings, burgers, and nachos and before throwing back drinks at frat party prices--like all-you-can-drink draft beers from 9pm to midnight on Fridays and Saturdays.

Hits: Really cheap beer, plenty of beer pong tables and private TVs at each booth score big points with sports fans.

Misses: Rampant beer pong tournaments leave a stale smell in the air, and the overpoweringly sweet Prarie Dew cocktail, made with coconut rum and pineapple juice, is more suitable for spring break in Cancun.

Fun Fact

In stud poker, a hand with a pair of aces and a pair of eights is known as the "dead man's hand." The phrase refers to the murder of "Wild Bill" Hickok who was shot with these two pairs in his hand.
