All due respect, I get out a LOT, which is why I feel qualified and comfortable calling pokey a horrible college town.
As for who gives a crap about breweries and bars, uhhhh, every college kid I've ever met, and damn near every college football fan I've ever met.
Haven't tried Mexican food there; perhaps I should. Tried Thai Paradise once and would never go back (although I'm an extremely harsh critic when it comes to Thai food). But seriously, where's your best steak in town? Jakers? Sandpiper? Texas Roadhouse??
Cmon man. Comparing Pokey to Missoula is a joke.
