Poor Paul's Pourhouse

Poor Paul’s is great. There is a pinball machine, no cover charge, and booze. Who could ask for anything more? Located right along the Tennessee strip, Poor Paul's Pourhouse is right beside Bullwinkle’s and has a really tall sign. You have to enter from the alley side. It’s kind-of small inside, but rarely crowded. There are also tables to sit at as well as pool tables. more

My husband and I actaully met here for our first date. We knew it would be quiet enough to talk but there would be lots of people around to make fun of if we didn't have much to talk about...it was a perfect date. After that date, it became our "place to go". We would go for $3 pitchers and free Gumby's...ah those were the days! After a while of hoarding the experience to ourselves, we started inviting our friends to meet with us so that the groups could get to know each other...again perfect place. And who can resist opening Superman's door??? Come on ladies, you know what I'm talking about... more

Poor Paul's Pourhouse is just what it says, a little pub located behind/beside Bullwinkles. The drinks are probably the cheapest you'll find on the strip and there is never a cover charge. It is 21+ only, and like Bullwinkles, the bouncers will do a very close inspection of all IDs (I actually got turned away because my ID had been through the laundry and had lost the shine on the top layer). Poor Pauls also has quarter pool tables and free dart boards with real metal-tipped darts - for both of these you have to arrive early. Theres also one or two pinball tables, a golf game, a jukebox loaded with a good selection, and NTN trivia. The booths get filled up quickly as they are prime location for groups. My largest complaint is that the ceilings are so low that the smoke easily overwhelms (even smokers in the party find it annoying). Nonetheless Poor Pauls is a great place to meet friends and hang out or start your night on the strip. Spin the wheel for free PPBucks (I have often only paid for ONE pitcher and won enough to cover a few more). more
