Spikes Bar & Grill

Faribault is my hometown and occasionally I go back to visit family and friends. My husband and I got together with two other couples for dinner and drinks afterwards. Spikes had been around forever and one of the friends let us know it was now called The Club. After laughing, I thought I have to see «The Club». The outside looks like a metal pull barn, I will say the inside looks better than it had before it has a nightclubish feel (I use that term loosely). The music is LOUD, I’ve been in actual clubs all over the country and the music was ridiculously loud at The Club. When I went to the bar to order a drink they were all served in plastic party cups, I know plastic cups is the first thing that makes me think Club, classy.
After we made our way to the dance area, there was a game of bean bags on the stage which was the only saving grace of this «club». I know beanbags also definitely screams «Club». After awhile of listing to this awful slow hip hop we asked the DJ if he could at least play some dance music or old school hip hop (ex. Dr Dre, Ice Cube, Snoop) literally anything other than the random music that they were playing, we were told this was a hip hop club and the owners get upset if anything else was played. I certainly didn’t want to get in trouble with the owners! God forbid they cater to their customers, oh did I mention there were about 20 people TOTAL in The Club on a Saturday night at 11pm? I’ll wrap it up as I could go on forever about how bad this place was but I think you get the point. Avoid at all costs! Unless you want funny stories to tell everyone about a sad little small town bar that thinks their THE CLUB! Me thinks not…
