Hooligans

I was so disappointed that I was literally the only female on that dance floor tonight. I left to go home at midnight because the DJ played nothing but ghetto rap music that we’ve all heard a million times. It’s a dance hall! That’s why I go there. To dance. If the music sucks, there’s no point in going. Please do something to spice it up every weekend, not just payday weekends. Most of your customers are regulars so they see the same stuff every weekend. Try doing and 80s party or something. Please no ghetto rap. How can you dance to ghetto rap?

Oh J-​ville, the limited places we have to circulate landed us back at Hooligans. I have to say, that although they wand you (girls) and pat you down (boys) at the door, the place isn’t half as bad as I seem to expect. Didn’t see any on the floor brawls or completely inappropriate shenanigans. If you slip in before midnight ladies, there’s no cover and if the bar tender’s in a good mood, he’ll pour a generous shot.
Not too much happening on a Friday night (guess it wasn’t payday). The talented dancers of last time’s adventures were no where to be found. This time there was more open dance floor and skeevie sideline watchers than the norm. At least this provides me with adequate dance space (yeah, please don’t encroach.)
Can’t complain too much about this place. Was able to catch a taxicab asap so I didn’t have to freeze while waiting in the shady parking lot.

Terrible place. Anywhere selling beer in plastic glasses at 9pm is clearly expecting imminent violence… Just what I want from a night out. Sort out your customer demographic and sell beer in glasses like normal bars.

This place has some of the lamest «metal» bands to ever tour on the national level, and usually draws the expected equally lame crowds that those bands usually draw? except that due to the nearby Marine Corps base there’s generally a lot more tough guy hardcore kiddies in the crowd. Brian, the owner, is a complete knucklehead and I am pretty sure that he hires most of his «security» staff from whatever 1% motorcycle club happens to be dominating at the time. Ever go to a punk show and have a bouncer assault you for simply «pogoing?» It will happen here. On the plus side: there’s a decent selection of microbrew beer and the food is usually pretty excellent. Try the fried mushrooms.

Good selection of micro-​brewed beer.
Attracts too many kids. And murders. lol.
Neat fact is that it’s the only bar in Jacksonville (maybe even all of Onslow?). Meaning, you don’t need to have membership. There is a retarded law in NC that «outlawed» bars (it requires «bars» to be «private clubs» and enforce memberships) and this is the last remaining bar… but a friend said they might have changed that law in the last couple years… can’t find anything on it!

This place is cool for the area… you cant expect a big city type nightclub in the stix
. the line is not cool
just go to dance music is main stream…
whatevs
if u want something more classy go to Alexanders
