Okay, this is my first time this restaurant/bar/club. I got there around 9:30 PM on Saturday night and sat outside for quite a while with some biker friends of mine. I must say for a nightclub it is impressive for Chattanooga. They have to areas outdoors on the left-hand side with a fire pit and seating and a few tables. You can also sit outside on the right-hand side but no fire pit. This review is based on me just touring the place over a few hours and mostly sitting outside watching people come in. They do serve beer and mixed drinks and they also serve food, which I did not partake. Oh yea, draft beer (+1). I also had the chance to chat with Randy, the manager, and I appreciate his openness. He was friendly, knowledgeable, and you could tell he was on top of everything there. Great people person. When you arrive, women can expect to get "wanded" and their purses checked and the men will also be frisked, I assume for weapons. As with most of these types of nightclubs, it seems to get busy around 10 o'clock at night and I was told that many nights they reach capacity by 11 o'clock and there is a line to get in, sometimes around the block so may want to get there early. As people leave, they allow others to enter, because I think they have a maximum occupancy of about 800. Security seems to be pretty tight which I can understand due to the clientele being younger for the most part have a lot of alcohol flowing. I had the chance to meet and talk to some of the security personnel and they were outgoing and friendly, but rest assured, they are there to ensure everyone has a good time and no one is bothered and if you were to get out of hand, it is obvious they know what to do. The club is three levels with the bottom level still being developed and it has pool tables, dartboards and when finished in a couple of weeks will be quite a neat hangout. The middle level (entrance) has lots of tables and bars and appears to be more of a live band (country) and maybe a little older crowd. This seems to be the better place to eat. Again, it was somewhere I would hang out. The upper level is probably a "younger" crowd and it is the loud dance music (I use the term music lightly) where it has a constant beat so dancers and bounce up and down . Music s somewhat crude at times and there is a lot of bumping and grinding going on. You can hardly move up there when it is crowded and It seem to be very crowded early on this level . Also, I was told it can get hot (temperature wise). Word of caution, especially to the younger crowd, be sure you don't drink and drive because first of all not a safe or smart thing to do but secondly, there are police cars just sitting there watching the place. I left on my motorcycle around 1 AM and saw three just sitting there. I am not a night owl and too old for the 3 AM checkout. I no longer get home when people are getting up. For what it is, it is a pretty neat place for Chattanooga and you would think you were downtown NYC or Atlanta. I give it a 5 and it has something for everyone. If I got something wrong here, just drop me a note. read more

Stopped by here to see what was going on but did not stay. There was a Security pat down before entering but I guess it's good they are being safe. Walk in the door to a large white board with several "rules" including no weapons, no sagging, no hoodies, no baseball caps to the side, no plain t shirts... then there was a $20 cover. The whole vibe made it uneasy so I left. read more

Came to support a friend for their drag show. Was immediately patted down and given an attitude. By the way the first words out of my mouth were, "How you doing tonight?" My friend with me was yelled at from the front desk and was told that they couldn't come in because he was wearing a T-shirt under his jacket. Turned around and left immediately. Being a local, I hope that a better business fills that dark and unholy void sooner rather than later. read more

Terrible! Terrible! Terrible! Went there with group of friends including my wife, son & daughter. Everyone was looking to have a good time but the security staff out of control! It appears they believe they have cart blanch to abuse patrons simply because they are drinking. I watched them grab a kid that was literally standing at the bar, put him in a headlock and drag him down two flights of stairs! They have no professional decorum at all! They bark and verbally abuse patrons without any shred of respect. It's all college kids, probably because no self respecting adult would ever return for that kind of atmosphere and abuse. Very Smokey and the floor is sticky from spilled drinks that never get cleaned up. No shortage of thugs looking for trouble too. I do not recommend it to anyone. read more

The atmosphere is usually there but the music is always LAME!! The DJ doesn't know how to mix and he doesn't know what songs work for the crowd. If anything, they just need a new DJ. The atmosphere and the drinks are there, but the music ruins everything read more

Went to hear Black Cat Moon play. Really enjoyed the place. Our waitress was awesome even tho she was busy with it being St. Patrick's Day. I am a non-smoker and even with others smoking it was pleasant and I didn't leave smelling like cigs. Didn't order food but drink service was excellent. I will go back. read more

The security was very racist and discriminative towards me. I do not like his attitude just because I had a california ID and I look different than everybody else. This is the only place in chattanooga that gives me a hard time to get in for NO reason. Very unpleasant time that made me so upset. read more

The whole vibe of the place is not good .. the music isn't great and everyone in there is trash. A lot,not all , of the workers are rude. I will not be back and don't recommend going there read more

STAY AWAY FROM THIS PLACE!!! We came here about a week ago and really enjoyed it. When we showed up last night, it was a disaster! As soon as we walked up to the door, a bouncer came up and very rudely told us that they were at full capacity and it would be one out/one in for a while. We stood there for 30 mins as they let over 50 people out and still refused to let the five of us in. Normally we wouldn't have stood there so long listening to the bouncer brag about how he was "in the Coast Guard and could kick everyone's asses in line", but we were there for a friend's birthday so we did. Once we finally got inside, the women's restroom was "out of order" because, as we were told by an employee, no one had time to clean it. The only other women's restroom was on the top floor which was blocked off because too many people were already up there. We began waiting in line to get upstairs but the exact same thing was happening with tons of people coming out, but no one could go in... unless of course you were the guy who slipped the bouncer money and he let your whole group of friends skip the line and go straight up. I understand that this is a new business, but when I asked the owner how many people were allowed to be in the building at once, he said he wasn't sure!! It was already so chaotic, I can't imagine if there had been an emergency. This place needs to be shut down until they can figure out what they're doing. It's a shame because it could be a great establishment. And they also need to find employees who aren't so rude and discriminating. I have never seen employees treat customers so poorly. We will never be back! read more

Not a real country bar, food is so-so if you get it, nice building but atmosphere is lacking, $10 burger (straight from the Costco 40 party freezer pack) and then $2 to add fries - go across the street to urban stack!, "oh I apologize that your order wasn't put in the first time or when you brought it to our attention... the third time though we will put it in and tell you we are giving you a whopping 15% off!!! And still charge full rate ;), our specials are 20% higher than regular prices around town......... listen, I've had sub par experiences before and shrugged it off, I guess being new there may be kinks to work out, but I get the feeling the owners put zero thought into running the place. It was OK to be nice. I am no restaurateur but if it were me I'd try and open with above average service and quality to generate buzz. I get the feeling they just don't care... but hey, I'm no restauranteur. read more

For a second I thought was a new gay bar because of the rainbow lights out front, but then decided that it's way too tacky and tasteless to be a gay club. They should seriously fire whoever is giving them marketing/aesthetics advice. They keep adding more and more shit to the exterior. It looks terrible. I feel like the Clampett's just moved to town. Some Hillbillies with a lot of money. If you are looking for an expensive white-trash bar, I think this is perfect for you! Seriously CJ/LR ownership, what are you thinking? You took a really nice looking building as made it as gaudy as you possibly could? Your signage is weak at best. Your logos look like they were designed by an 8th grader. There is no way this place is going to last. Tell your workers on their cigarette break to stop arguing and fighting out front too. I will continue to avert my eyes as I walk by, it helps to keep my from cursing. read more

I've been going here for a month or two on Saturday nights, but last night I was really displeased. I no longer wanted to dance with the guy that was dancing with me and when I pushed away, he pushed back. I'm the one who got thrown out for it. I don't agree, and I won't be back read more

Being a local of Chattanooga, I have visited this place numerous times, but this past time I had a really bad experience. First of all, staff of this club, so rude! Ladies and men alike! You are frisked and your bags are checked before entering the club which is normal for clubs I would assume, but then ladies are also required to pay cover! Come on! Ask the men to pay, but ladies should be free. Also, out of all the times I have been, this is the first time there was no liquor drinks, just beer! Have you ever been to club that only serves beer?! The last thing that really ruined the whole night, one person in our group got choked down to the ground and dragged outside off the dance floor by a bouncer (which is illegal by the way!!!) just because he did not want to step to the side and talk to the bouncer. Just because you do not cooperate, you get choked?? Best advice I can give you, don't visit this place and choose another nicer sophisticated location to have fun such as Southside Social, Flying Squirrel, Clyde's on Main, etc. read more
