Smiley's Acoustic Cafe

Super fun venue with delicious elevated bar food and yummy adult beverages! Excellent wait staff too! Wednesday night live band karaoke really draws a huge crowd and is a lot of fun both on stage and off! No real dance room, so you just get in where you fit in. Relatively clean overall for a dive bar… not too sticky. Definitely one of the most affordable places in downtown to have a few drinks, see some good entertainment, and grab a bite to eat! Parking is a breeze too with free street parking and a small private lot beside the building as well as a public lot across the street, though that one usually costs money. Oh, and the crowd is pretty diverse which is nice! All ages (21+) races, and creeds represented on any given night. Safe place too!

Great place centrally located on W. Main St, close to a lot of other energetic entertainment and dinning venues. This is a great place for live music and though we didn't dine here, we would definitely consider it in the future. Prices are fair and their pub-style food looked good. Service is fast and friendly. It was our first visit. We arrived for music on Friday evening at about 8:15. It was busy, but we easily found a table and enjoyed a nice selection of brews for 4 hours. The first act, a solo musician playing electric-acoustic guitar, was LC Branch. A big man with a big sound; excellent unique guitar playing style and a soulful big voice. The crowds moved in at about 9PM, packing the place, seeming to arrive for the same reason we came to Smiley's on this evening: the local band, JET, featuring Joe Jones, who energetically performed popular rock songs. The tiny place in front of the stage and all space between the tables became a dance floor. FUN.

Live music is great! Bar service is attentive. On the busiest night, you won't wait too long for a drink. Beers are served at downtown pricing. Could use more selection, particularly local brews. The two missing stars are for the lack of space (or abundance of people). You can't move in here. Also, a lot of parties order food and drinks. Servers need to push through every couple minutes or so. Standing, you are always on alert for a tray of food or be beverage, while trying to enjoy the band. 5 star love this place but it feels like I'm in the way, when I want to be close to the music. (Edit: Thanks for the response (added a star). Of course I'll be back. Love this place!

We definitely come out on Wednesdays throughout the week. This is a fun place to hang out I can get really crowded with lots of people on Wednesdays and Saturdays. The band is extremely talented in Backing everyone up on karaoke. These guys are the masters of karaoke. if you’re looking for a fun unique stop come to Smiley‘s and hang out with us!! The food here is excellent the staff is very helpful and timely with their orders. They keep your drinks filled and Take excellent care of you throughout the night! Cheers!

This place is so chilled and laid back atmosphere. There is great live music and karaoke night. Also, a menu of food and alcoholic beverages and mix drinks. This was my first time coming with my brother to this place and highly recommend this place. I will be coming back every month on Thursday nights to listen to great blues music.

We went for teen open mike night to listen to my friend's daughter sing, and we had hamburgers, which were absolutely delicious. The live entertainment was great, especially considering how young the kids are, and the food was awesome. Best burger I've had in a while and the fries were amazing, too, delicious and hot.

Weird experience where we ordered a glass of wine and the bartender told us if you're going to be here for a while you may as well order a bottle because the cost of 3 glasses is more than a bottle. Yet when we got the bill the bottle was $30 and the bartender (not the one who originally told us this) said a glass is $6. We then had to go through an odd 'negotiation' with the bartender who we explained what we were told originally, first took off $5 then asked was that good and when we said it's still more than what we were told took off another $5 and said just to tip him. We accepted the $20 cost but it was still odd and a little frustrating.

Staff was rude. We went tonight for a friend's birthday and they we understandably busy. My sister ordered a margarita, I walked up a few seconds later and asked her to get me one too. She very politely got the waitress with blue hair's attention and said "could you actually make that two please?" The waitress made a rude face and said "I guess, thanks for not telling me before I poured the first one" and huffed like a child before turning around. Im pretty sure she just added water to the mix then poured it in two cups.we left without drinking them they were so horrible.
