Living in Jackson, MS, you learn to live without certain things. Fact of the matter is, we just…read moredon't get the big-name concerts and performers here in lil' ole' Jackson. I've grown to accept it, but I think it's a damn shame because I bet tons of performers would love a chance to play at Duling Hall-- one of the coolest venues you can check out in the Southeast. Located inside an old, converted elementary school, Duling Hall is host to several different businesses, including the most popular concert venue in town. Also inside Duling, you'll find Saltine and Babalu (AMAZING food, you can check out my reviews of them!) and my favorite salon in town, Smoak. The concert venue is a really, really neat atmosphere. It's split into two sections, with one being a bit higher up than the other. The lower level is usually standing room during big concerts, while the upper area will often have tables and chairs. The upper area is where the bar is too! During some shows I've seen here, like the burlesque shows that come through occasionally. The stage is relatively low to the ground, so during shows like that, it's easy for the performers to interact with the audience which is super fun. As far as showmanship and technicalities, Duling does an amaaazing job with the concerts. The lights are always on point. The acoustics are fantastic. It's a very spacious venue with crazy high ceilings and some huge windows, so you won't feel too claustrophobic. Ardenland, a local entertainment company, handles all the bookings for Duling and they get some really high-quality, awesome acts here. Even if you've never heard of who's playing, it's always a fun time to head down to Duling and listen to some live music. The best part is that after the show, you're within super-close walking distance of some of Fondren's best bars (The Apothecary, Fondren Public, Caet) so the night can keep going and you can keep jamming!

Was visiting from out of town and saw it had good reviews. They weren't wrong. It was delicious…read more The shakuska was outstanding. The tomato sauce was spicy, the pita bread underneath slightly crunchy. Two perfectly over easy eggs on top was a party in my mouth. My friend ordered a side of millionaire bacon. It was not very crispy. She said the regular bacon was more crispy and flavorful. I ordered the basic scrambled eggs, cheesy grits and andouille sausage platter. It was yummy and filling. The prices are reasonable. They also serve coffee, teas, sodas and boozy cocktails. Since it was brunch we ordered mimosas. There was a mix up and the server forgot to put in the appetizer, but Ana and the manager were extremely apologetic and made up for it. They have live music but sadly not on the day we were there. Parking can be a bit of a challenge, since the surface lot is shared between 3 restaurants. The company also owns and runs the restaurant next door called the Walk-in. It's super cute and open late night. Zee, the bartender made us a couple of Hugo spritz's- which were perfect. When in Jackson, this is a definite stop. They also serve po boys and other yummy sounding entrees. Reservations are recommended.

Walked in and it was crowded, so I highly recommend reservations…read more Inside is the same. Maybe some new posters on the wall but they have kept that throwback feel they've always had. I Ordered a cup of seafood gumbo (no rice-hate rice in gumbo) and it was good. Just a tad too salty but it had plenty of shrimp and sausage and good flavor. Would definitely get that again. Ordered the Tres Leches French toast and decided I better get the half order due to the gumbo. It was two pieces of Texas toast so that was a good call, as I barely finished my plate. It didn't require syrup due to the chantilly cream and cherries. I really enjoyed the taste of it. The bacon was the thick kind, similar to Wrightes Bacon, and was cooked well too. I won't complain about service since it's a holiday. My server was actually pretty good but it did take a while for my food to come out. I'm glad I finally got to try the brunch at Hal and Mal's and look forward to trying other dishes.

I mean there were a lot of people with "x's" on their hand. They were charging a $5 cover and there were not a lot of people there outside of the people at a party in a private area on the side of place. It shares a building with another bar/restaurant called the 4th and Goal Sports Cafe. They have a huge parking lot that it shares with the other businesses located in the strip mall that it is in. It is a dimly lit joint that has 2 pool tables, a bar in the back, an indoor deck above the bar that you can rent out, a huge dance floor/open space with a few tables and chairs set up around it. There is also a stage and screens with television programming projected on them. For some reason they had hockey playing on them while I was there. They had a DJ playing all the hot hits. That was the best part of the night club by far. All and all, I was not very impressed and found myself yawning and saw many people leaving after only a few minutes of coming in. I was in bed by 11. I thought Saturday's were its best night, but I could be wrong.
