Bar review: Sam's Lounge

True, Sam's Lounge is the hotel bar of the Best Value Inn & Suites, a mid-priced motor lodge along I-55. But it's so much more than that. Once an out-of-the-way retreat for hardworking blue-collar boozehounds, Sam's has evolved into one of the hippest hidden nightspots in Jackson. Sam's is the preferred watering hole of Jackson's metalhead, punk rock, skateboard and tattoo contingents and more — Jackson's own Capital City Rollergirls are regulars — if that gives you any idea of the hard-partying and trendy clientele. Sam's also features live bands, mostly on weekends, ranging from metal to punk to straight up rock. Many local faves like Redneck Trucker, Goodman County and Hypnotic Chickens perform regularly. On off nights, Sam's is still a great place to grab a cheap drink, shoot some pool and rock out to the headbanging hits on their internet-capable jukebox.
