What Jim G doesn't like about Carole's Next Best Thing:
First time coming here. I had one beer for $3.25 after I left I found out they charged $50 on my credit card. Hoping to get that charge taken off my card. Never seen this happen at any bar I've been at in over 30 years. Tried to call but couldn't leave a message. Any suggestions would be welcomed. View all feedback.
