Little Willie's downtown Tuscaloosa, Temerson Square, 2209 4th St. Call 366-0913 - Very cool interior with nice laid-back atmosphere. The two big screen TVs are turned off which helped add to the cozy, relaxed vibe. The jukebox played a wide selection of music ... there was even a tune by The Monkeys thrown in. The bartendress was very helpful and friendly. Live music for the weekend of the Mississippi State game (11/15/08) is ... Friday - Scott Holt ... Saturday - Carroline Shines (blues).

The Copper Top downtown Tuscaloosa, Temerson Square, 2300 4th St. 343-6867 - Interesting mix of people, including one guy wearing eyeliner (or least that's what it looked like). Somewhat of a honky-tonk feel, minus the country music. Listened to the jukebox play the entire "Ten" album by Pearl Jam. Also, heard the LL Cool J classic "Goin' Back to Cali". Four TVs were all tuned to pro basketball. Live music for the weekend of the Mississippi State game (11/15/08) is ... Friday - DJ Mike P ... Saturday - Mishap.
