Famous Pub

BANDS BEWARE.."Do not Book a Show HERE" . My band has performed there twice. The first time we were scheduled for 10 and were pushed back to one ( 3 hours off slotted time) for no apparent reason. They could not even get the vocals working at all for first three songs. The second time we were booked there we were given an 8 p.m. slot. We arrived at six and were told we needed to unload and go on right away as the band at that moment were playing there last song. We firmly said no as there was already another band there with all their gear right next to the stage ready to go. We reasonably asked can't they perform next as they were ready to go. So they played a complete hour with multiple sound issues. When we took the stage we were told we only had 30 minutes to perform. There were no vocals in the stage monitors at all and when our drummer would hit a drum it would actually come back through the stage monitors with repeated delays. When he hit a drum you would hear it four times on the stage. Horrid..Every band I have seen there complains about there sound onstage. Also the booking agent there also doubles as the engineer. Needless to say he fails miserably at both. BANDS BEWARE.."Do not Book a Show HERE" ....

Wow what a difference!! The tint is gone off the windows, complete remodel of entire bar, inside is SMOKE FREE. Smoking is permitted outside on the large covered patio. Brand new menu and great staff. Went for the Alabama vs LSU game and the place was packed. Definately going back for the 11/11/11 grandreopening 1986 prices all day long.

What happened to this place is the loss of their best people. The owner and his wife got a divorce, (she was the one with brains) and then the daugher and son in law left. All that is left now are drunks and mess ups. Everyone seems lazy, uneducated, dense and rude, to say the least.

We had a really good time here. The best thing was the burgers were really thick and served nice and hot. I had the bacon cheddar bugger, nice.

Yes, the management has changed, but for the better!!! Better bartenders, better servers, and better food. Famous is great for watching football on Saturdays, and even during the week, the food is really good and the specials are awesome. It gets crowded a bit on weekend nights, but I've never had bad service. And even the crowds are full of beautiful people. :) If you just want to hang out with friends and drink and play pool or watch a game or just people-watch, this is the place to be. And there's plenty of parking!!! Where else can you find a fun place to hang out that stays open late and serves an awesome late-night menu too???
