A Monroe County Bar will be in the spotlight to millions of people watching that Big Game on February 2nd in a cameo during a Budweiser commercial.
The town of Carlton, Michigan, has had a bar since 1872: The Carlton Hotel Saloon.
The small town of Carlton with a population of less than 3,000 people. In less than two weeks, the small downtown of Carleton and the soon-to-be-famous Carleton Hotel Bar will be seen by more than 120 million people.

Folks Are Excited For Their Moment Of Fame
“This is so cool! I used to play pool there all the time.” said former Carlton resident Kris La Nette Evans.
Regulars at the Carleton Hotel Bar were amazed to see an aerial shot of their local watering hole featured in Budweiser’s commercial for Super Bowl 59. The one person even more shocked than they were was the bar’s owner. He says he was never contacted by Budweiser and had no idea about the commercial.
Some saloon patrons say the bar is like an older version of the TV show Cheers. With all the regulars that stop in, everyone knows your name.
Look for during the game and long after I believe attendance to the saloon will increase as everyone will want to stop in to visit the Carlton Hotel and Bar.
Featured On The Biggest Day Of The Year For TV Commercials
With the largest audience focused on watching television, it makes sense to market your company to that group. With so many companies eyeing this audience, the commercials have evolved to stick out, and some people claim they watch the game for the ads.
Screamin's Top 6 Favorite Midnight Snacks
February is National Snack Food Month, so for the rest of this month, I will focus on snacking in every way possible! Most days, I need a snack or five to make it through the day… and if I only make nutritious choices, that’s no fun. What are your favorite midnight snacks?
Snacking more can have a positive on our overall health. There are times to be healthy and sometimes the bad snacks are fine if you enjoy them in moderation. Now a reminder: the choices I am about to tell you are not from a nutritional standpoint. The snacks I list are my favorites from over the years. You might agree to disagree with my choices. Others might look at and say, “Oh Yeah Baby.” Some snacks came from local establishments. Feel free to visit our local businesses. Tell them I sent you. It won’t mean anything, but it’s still fun to say, “Screamin’ Scott sent me.”
The definition of a Midnight Snack is a small portion of food generally eaten around midnight. Obvious, yes? Snacks come in a variety of forms including packaged snack foods and other processed foods, as well as items made from fresh ingredients at home. Leftovers can be Midnight Snacks. See if your favorites align with my choices. Late after a night out, there is nothing like my favorite Midnight Snacks by the refrigerator light.
Midnight Snacks #1 TACOS
Drunk Tank Brian Enjoys A Taco
Good friend, Brian Paul Ermoyan, agrees with me as you can never go wrong with a Taco. Think of this, have you ever seen somebody sad with a taco? Never in my life have I ever cried over a taco. An excellent choice for a Midnight Snack is tacos.
Midnight Snack #2 Leftover Pizza
Leftover Pizza
The minute you open the fridge your eyes will be laser-focused on a box of PIZZA. The gamble is always when you open the box to see how many slices are left in the box. Anything more than 2 slices is a win in my book. Never have to worry about brands when it comes to Midnight Snacks. Unless there is a name on the box. That’s the only common rule to follow. Don’t be that person who disregards the holding pizza note and eats it anyway. Unless you leave your own note with a promise to replenish the slices taken. There is always leftover pizza around the WCSX studios.
Midnight Snack #3 Lasagna
Home Made Lasagna
Once you start Midnight Snacks you can’t stop. Lasagna is liquid gold at Midnight. Nothing fills that space in your stomach more than Lasagna hot or cold. Sometimes they say it tastes even better the next day. Midnight is the next day, right?
Midnight Snack #4 Salad
Just a Salad
Ha! Just kidding you, nobody eats a salad at Midnight. Go to #5
Midnight Snack #5 Cookies
Midnight Snack Delicious Cookies
Midnight Snacks also include a sweet tooth and cookies hit the spot. Wash it down with ice-cold milk and you will know why Santa loves it so much.
Midnight Snack #6 Favorite Breakfast Cereal
Who says you have to eat cereal just at breakfast? Midnight snacks must include cereal. The only thing missing is cartoons. When all else fails at the fridge, there is always the midnight snack of champions. Nothing is more satisfying than a large bowl of your favorite cereal. Or even better treat yourself to your kid’s cereal. They’ll never know because they should be fast asleep.
