15 Best Bars near De Soto

“Wow, I can't believe this place is still open. It has probably been over 25 years since I visited this place. It was a dive bar on one side, and a strip club on the other side. But lol, they have probably remodeled the place since the last time I was there. I never actually went to the strip club side though, lol. I woukd just go to the regular side, with just a bar, and a pool table, to play a few games of pool. It might be completely different then the way I remember it though. I rarely went there, to be honest, but a lot of my old friends visited the strip club, and talked about it. But anyways, it is so cool to see that this place is still open. I was born and raised on Carbondale, and this place just brings back memories. Long live JB's. Hope everyone around there is doing well.“

“My boyfriend and I stayed for a few nights at the hotel that’s connected to Manny’s. They have happy hour on select beer for 4-6, the best prices in town on drinks, slots, pool, and great customer service. Lindsey took care of us all night, and did a great job doing so. The place is super clean and taken care of. They currently don’t offer food, but have some great suggestions on food nearby. We loved the atmosphere, and plan on coming back!“

Although I did not get good service Saturday night when I was there the bartender was very rude and short with customers and kept complaining in front of her customers. There were also others complaining about her and how they were not satisfied with the service or the drinks.“
