Newby’s Package & Lounge

Loud, smokey, rowdy, nice salt of the earth people, loved every minute of its dive bar vibe.

This is one of the locals favorite watering holes. There are two areas, outside bar with a stage for bands/​karaōke at night and an inside bar with dart boards and a package store. Everyone is very friendly there.

We were very excited to go here for kareoke, but from the moment we walked in it was apparent we were not a priority to the staff. We sat down at a table like the bartender said, but no one ever came to take our order. We went to the bar, where the only other 2 customers were, but the bartender ignored us. We asked what kind of beer they had, to which he replied «Budlight.» Then he said he would go through the list of beers, but he figured we would just order a Budlight after he went through the names so he wasn’t going to waste his time. We decided to leave and spend our money at Sweet Dreams Kareoke Bar where the bartender was friendly although she was extremely busy since it was packed!
I don’t recommend this location due to the poor customer service.

This location on the turn, one of the three Newbys locations, seems to have a somewhat grittier and more local crowd than the somewhat «hipper» location down Thomas Drive next to Club La Vela. A fairly large bar. None of the three Newbys locations is exactly a «sophisticated» place, but I would say the one down the street is better.
