The Lafayette Barroom & Social Club

The Lafayette is a breath of fresh air in Uptown Shelby. I decided to visit and become a member over the Thanksgiving Holiday break. Annual membership is $5 and allows you to bring one guest 21 and over. Everyone is carded here no matter your age, so don't be offended.When you first walk in there are 3 pool tables - two are coin op (there is a change machine) and the "Pro" table is rent by the hour. At the back are three dart boards and the restrooms. Five taps which were heavy on OMB (not a fave) and a moderate selection of canned beer. Was happy to see Hazy Little Thing and Guinness. I just kind of went with the flow my first visit and never really saw a price menu to compare draft vs. can; I believe cans were about $5 each. The Lafayette also offers a cocktail menu to members.Pretty cool hangout. No rowdy people, just chill ones. Not sure if the beer prices will work for or against them - only time will tell. And of course I'll be back, I'm a member now after all....

A great little spot with fantastic staff and a laid back atmosphere. Good drink prices, pool tables and darts. You can't beat it. This spot is just what Shelby needed to add some flavor to small town night nightlife.
