Wow. Super cheap and tasty wings Tuesday, Thursday, and I think Saturday ($0.25/wing). Awesome drink specials ($3.75 domestic bottles), and their drink prices in general are a good price.
Service is good, they are friendly and nice.
There are regulation foosball tables (Tornado's) x 2, about 3 pool tables, and Karaoke. Definitely a diamond in the rough along 16 ave. The crowd is more of the older biker/metal but everyone is friendly so don't be intimidated. Kind of a cool patio set up too (not actually a patio but the front windows open).
Wing flavours:
Greek
Hot
Salt & Pepper
Seasoned
Suicide
Teriyaki

Well we went here and didn't get shot, so I see it as a victory.
My husband likes wings. I like not spending lots of money, so I thought "let's go to the dingiest hole in the wall we can find." Enter Juliet's Castle. Although, in its defense, it wasn't AS dingy as I wanted, but then I also DID feel like I was going to get shot outside, so I guess it balances out.
The waitress was nice and super friendly, and the wings were good. Not the 'seasoned' ones though - they tasted like nothing.
In summary, it's close enough to home and the wings and service were good. It's more than likely that I'll grab my bulletproof jacket and go back. -

Came here for Wednesday night karaoke, and had a good time. The place was fairly quiet, with just enough patrons to constitute a 'scene' of sorts, and in spite of the small crowd there were more than enough oddballs here to make it interesting. As someone else here mentioned, the karaoke hostess was a real trip; and a very good singer (imagine a whacked-out Tina Turner running a karaoke night, and you'll be close). There were probably only about ten people singing in rotation, and the two of us were able to do a couple of songs each over the 90 minutes I was there. Song selection was impressive, but the sound system (no monitor) was just so-so.
Other than the karaoke, the place seemed nice enough. Definitely a sports bar (with a separate room with table sports), it was spacious and comfortable. I can't think of anything else to add, so I'll leave it at that. -

Granted, I've only been to Juliet's Castle once... but I really like what I saw. The staff, while small, were very pleasent, the food was well priced and worth every penny, the drink specials were pretty awesome, plenty of pool tables, which is a major plus for me... and to top it all off, there was just something about the look and atmosphere of this place I really liked.
It's hard to explain, but when I walk into a place that sells itself as a 'sports bar' I kind of have a few preconcieved ideas of what I'm going to see. I expect lots of TVs turned to various sporting events - which, granted, this place had... but I also kind of expect bland, drab walls covered in various beer companies promotional materials... I saw nothing of the kind. I expect VLTs, which it had... but tucked into a quiet little subroom, where they didn't feel like a focal point, as they sadly often are. I expected tons of posters for local sporting events and the like but instead the few sports posters (all for the upcoming UFC event, which is understandable as these are big revenue events for these kind of places) were tastefully placed, and unobtrusive.
For some weird reason though, the selling point to me was the look. I don't know if it was the black pseudo-brick style walls, the red lighting fixtures, the matching red surface on the pool tables, the swanky knee-high tables in the couch-style seating area beside the stage, or some mash-up of them all, but this seemed like a cross between all the things I would ever go to a sports bar for, but with more of a classy, lounge-like feel. Very cool.
And as for what the previous reviewer had to say, the night I went the place was almost PACKED... not to the point of suffacation... but every table in the main bar area had people at it, and I don't think any of them had more than one seat open. The pool table area still had a couple open, but most were in use, and the small bar staff were definitely being kept busy. And frankly, if 16th Ave is "the middle of nowhere" for you, then I really have no counterpoint, cause clearly you dwell exclusively within the walls built around downtown by the surrounding skyscrapers.
All in all, I definitely wouldn't say it's the greatest bar I've ever been to... but I'm hard pressed to find much I expressly DIDN'T like. They could have a slightly bigger staff, but that's a minor complaint at best. -

There's nothing too interesting I could say about Juliet's Castle. It's your pretty basic pub with an average crowd and average service. The staff isn't overly friendly or personable, but they get the job done all the same. The prices aren't outrageous, but it's not the cheapest place I've been either.
It's relatively big and has plenty of table sports to occupy your time. The bar itself stretches pretty far, but isn't put to very good use since they only have one bartender. I suppose it offers more seating for when it gets busier... whenever that is.
It kind of seems like Juliet's Castle is out in the middle of nowhere. It's just a little too far from downtown to be too upbeat, but it doesn't seem to get that many locals either. It's never been very busy in my experience, but seems to pick up a little on Karaoke nights.
The Karaoke DJ is a totally different story. She was the funkiest, sexiest, most gregarious DJ I've ever experienced during Karaoke. She really made the night worth my while. I'd go back just to watch her introduce the singers, and sing a song every once in a while!
