Remington’s of Laurel

Went here for a friend’s birthday gathering. Typical bar with kareoke. Reuben sandwich is good. very dive-​y. if you’re into that thing then this is the place for you.

Too bad about the cartoonish hag who manages the bar. There is an endearing cheesiness to the karaōke, performed by local clientele who take it a little too seriously and without the irony you find in urban bars. But the manager is stone cold crazy and seems to specifically target women with her rudeness. We tried several times to enjoy this bar, behaved politely and tipped very well. She snapped at me to get away from an empty barstool at an empty bar that I was standing next to so that I could order a drink from her. She nearly spat at me when telling me I needed to wait to order a drink on another visit. Finally one night I calmly asked her if she had some kind of problem to address and she got this crazy look on her face and started yelling that I needed to lower my voice (???) and just kept saying it again and again until I left the bar.
The place has to be a front for something. There are just not enough people there to keep a business afloat, even counting the half dozen regulars and groups of military moms having Girls Night Out. I have met other people who don’t bother going there because of the disturbingly hostile old lady behind the bar. So, maybe it is the place to go for something I don’t know about. That thing is definitely not a welcoming atmosphere or pleasure in accepting your money.
