Visited Curley's on a Saturday afternoon. I have been to many different bars at this location. We…read morehad seen the tv commercials alot and so we decided to swing in. The bar and pool area seems remodeled and well done. The server was friendly and the beer was cold. Just like in the commercial, if someone yells "To Curley's" everyone answers " a neighborhood bar." We did not eat so i can not rate the food. Here is why I gave it three stars: although it is not legally required, nowhere on the website or commercials or front door does it mention that smoking is allowed. I have no problem with bars having smoking. There is a market for it. It would be nice to know before we walked in. This is a heavy smoke bar. Very reminiscent of the old Cox's. From the bar side as you look toward the pool tables, you can see a haze. It is not an overstatement to say everyone was smoking. Now, if you smoke or do not mind leaving ypur clothes in the garage when you get home; then this is a good place to go. If even a little smoke bothers you, think hard about going here.

I wish I lived in Lafayette as this place would be my new neighborhood bar. The owner , David…read moregreeted us immediately and was extremely friendly to us in spite of the fact that we were wearing Iowa Hawkeye shirts in Purdue's hometown. Casual atmosphere and music wasn't blaring which made it easy to talk. We ordered the highly recommended wings and a supreme pizza. The wings were ginormous and very tasty. The pizza crust was perfect. I would have preferred more cheese but we can add that onto the left overs cuz the serving size was plentiful.

This controversial mural is the work of The Droops, an Indianapolis-based artist collective who…read morewere commissioned by The Spot to do the piece in 2015. It located on the side of the Spot and overlooks their parking lot. It takes up 2 sections of the bar's side wall. The mural is in great shape but as you can see in the photos, its lower park is obstructed by parked vehicles. It is a collogue of random images that include a guillotine, a beer on a folding chair, a tombstone, a skull, a in a bikini with four eyes holding a beer up, a knife, a clown, a bomb, a trumpet, a cigarette butt, a foot, a face being punched by a fist, a hand holding a knife, and an odd character holding a beer while playing a piano. The mural also depicts a naked woman tied to a tree and male genitalia in between a hotdog bun, which caused quite a site as you can imagine. There were calls by the community to have the offensive piece removed, covered up or fenced off. The change.org petition ended with 20 supporters. At one point the Lafayette police issued a warning that artwork was violation of the city's graffiti ordinance. There was a point during all of this that they used a Mike Pence head (who was governor at the time) to cover the male genitalia. Ultimately, the Spot won and the city decided that the mural was not graffiti and did not meet the criteria for a citation. The mural is standing today. Even though there are a lot of images to digest. The artwork is very nice. This is a provocative piece that definitely generates conversation. You can deiced for yourself what your thoughts on the piece are. Parking to get a closer look at the mural is easy, even though it overlooks a parking lot, the lot is kind of tight. There is however, some free parking pretty close to the mural too. Anyway, as with most murals that I have visited and reviewed, this is not a long stop. I was there less than 5 minutes. So, you may want to consider planning out additional stops at many of the other attractions in the area, or making this stop part of a larger itinerary to maximize your time and trip. There of tons of murals to check out in the immediate area.

Good drinks, good beer selection, friendly (if seriously busy) bartenders, decent patio and fantastic inside seating. The decor is wonderful - love the belt-driven fans and the tin ceiling. And the food is really good - the pork tenderloin (brought down from sister bar Digby's was a "grown up" version with flavorful marinated meat encased in a nice breading that refused to crumble off, topped with a mustard sauce and house-made cucumber, onion and jalapeño pickles on a brioche bun that stood up to it all. It's not the tenderloin I had as a kid, but it's a delight for a grown-up. I really like this place, and so does my wife.
