Studio’s Restaurant & Lounge

First off, I would never refer to this place as a restaurant. I’m not sure they serve food. This used to be a place where everyone would drive into the country and drink and dance until 4 am. However, the city cracked down on it, and now they have to close earlier — around 2 or 3. We used to drive from Carbondale to here after the bars closed to have just a few more. The crowd is very diverse… and I wouldn’t call it a good thing. You can find many people missing teeth (both male and female) or with big wads of tobacco in their mouths (again, male and female). And sometimes the african-​american peeps don’t mesh well with the country boys. The poor excuse of a club plays hip hop, some slow songs and country. The bartenders are friendly, and the drinks are cheap (hope you’re cool with beer cans only). But this place is not somewhere you want to go if they aren’t open after hours anymore.
