Last time I went coyote Joe's the witch at the door wouldn't let me in because I had a bag with my lunch in it. She was really hateful. If you don't like your job, move on...get another one. Cover charge isn't warranted because it's not that fancy of a place and there sure as hell isn't any full restaurants inside. You have to go outside to a little truck or whatever is there. The house band is good. I've met several stars there, Keith Urban, Gary Allen, I'm going to try again tonight. If it doesn't work out, I'll never go back. read more

The younger girl instructor and another instructor who was a guy that dances with the young girl was so rude. The girl was yelling saying for partner dances we need to go right to the corner, reminder everyone not going to the corner not even the instructors. The girl pretended to kick someone because they were not going to a corner for partner dancing The guy was pushing ppl out of his way and yelling at everyone who may have a toe on the dance floor. They would be yelling and screaming at everyone if you tried to make your moves your own. Lastly there a guy that sets himself in the bathroom to give u soap and paper towel if you don't tip he won't give u soap or paper towel I've gone to many line dancing bars in the east coast and this has to be the worst one out there read more

$9 cover, cash only bar, $3 atm fee, and charges for water. Gave a bad Dave and Busters vibe

Loved It!! Me & my sister planned doing this for a couple of months and we were very nervous. But we definitely got over that super quick, Steven the amazingly funny security guard greeted us & made us smile. We came back the very next night & Steven along with the staff made us feel welcome once again. Drinks were great, music was good, atmosphere was top tier & I cannot wait to go back!! read more

Awesome place if you're looking for a fun but laid back place to hang out. Concert nights ofc can get rowdy but they're usually managed well. Some other reviews you can tell aren't umm.. from around here but don't let them discourage. The bartenders are always friendly, the security guards mind their business until given reason not to. Great place to shoot pool, go dancing, ride the bull or just choose a table & chill. read more

Absolutely not. Never had someone wand me with a metal detector before entering outside of a museum in DC/government building. Service charge to enter & have to have then scan my ID cause obviously I don't look 21 or older. Was immediately hit with an overwhelming smell of what can only be described as old leather in an August Texas Heat Wave. On top of that I was given so many side looks cause I wasn't wearing the typical attire one would wear there. Overhead music was way too loud. The bartender just wanted to hurry the order along & got it wrong. This place is the stereotypical epitome of what Trailer Park White Trash is. Like it was transplanted from Texas, Knoxville and/or Nashville. Complete bottom feeders. read more

Ton of fun! Spent new year's night there. Even the regular line dancing patrons are supper friendly.

Extremely disrespectful. We tried dancing and they said we were pushing when we're trying to learn. Then when we asked what their names were, they threatened me. I am atttaching their pictures. This was possibly the worst day of my life. DO NOT COME HERE! read more

I don't even know where to begin with this absolute nightmare of an experience. I went to this honky tonk bar with a group of friends, looking for a fun night of country music and a few drinks. What I got was the complete opposite--an unsafe, aggressive environment that left me with bruising so severe I had to go to the hospital and file charges. First, the bar was incredibly irresponsible with how they served alcohol. We were served multiple drinks, and the bartenders kept pushing rounds on us, despite us not needing them. I've been to plenty of bars before and have never been as over-served as I was here. It felt like they were encouraging us to drink more than we could handle. Then, things took a turn for the worse when I went outside to get some fresh air. I was confronted by a bouncer who was already agitated. When I asked what the issue was he said "You're too drunk for your good, let me see your ID you're obviously underage". I am 26 years old. When I ignored him and laughed it off it hurt his sense of authority and he immediately got physical, starting with little grabs at my arms and with me attempting to move away without drawing attention and carefully stroking his ego he then began pushing me in a way that felt completely unwarranted. Before I knew it, two other bouncers joined in, and they threw me to the ground and were just completely unhinged in their aggression saying "You need to leave". A reminder I am here with 3 other women less than 130 pounds all under the age of 26. I ended up with bruises all over my body--my face, arms, and legs looked like a patchwork quilt of dark purple and blue marks. I had to go to the ER to make sure I hadn't suffered any internal injuries or a concussion because I lost consciousness. The whole experience was traumatic, and I'm still in shock at how something like this could happen. I filed charges, and I'm hoping the bouncers responsible face some serious consequences. No one should ever have to endure something like this when they're just trying to have a good time. This place is a dangerous joke. I would highly recommend staying away, especially if you don't want to end up in the hospital like I did. They may have good music and drinks, but no amount of that is worth your safety. The way they treat their customers is appalling. If you value your well-being and don't want to get assaulted by security staff, take your business elsewhere. You've been warned. -- One very shaken, disappointed customer. read more

The atmosphere was great! I love the bull riding that was the highlight of my trip. I would definitely recommend checking this place out if you are looking to have fun. read more

We love Country Bars and this one is awesome. Based on some of the reviews I was a little hesitant to go, but we decided to go for it. I am so glad we did. Friendly staff, great music and good drinks. Nice dance floor! We can't wait to go back the next time we visit. I'll be sure to bring my line dancing boots! Loved it!! read more

Always a good time here, sometimes the staff are grumpy, but I still come back because I always have a good time with my friends and I love the country atmosphere even if there are a lot of city people here read more

Came here for a sold out concert that they oversold. 0 parking crew, took an hour to get in and 2 to get out. Not worth the hassle unfortunately. read more

Terrible place with rude staff. Hated everything about it and would never recommend or go back.

Im originally from Mississippi and because I lived mostly out in the country most of my life, of course I like country music. I was impressed with this bar / night club. Its big and because of that I could always find a place to sit at. It's known as the country line dancing club if you ask me. The cover charge ranges from $5 to $10. Most of the time it is $5 or $6. If you bring your membership card with you it's only $5. Anyway, you can have a lot of fun here. There's a bull you can ride in here and there is an up stairs section too. Now, this place is mostly for country line dancing and that's for every song just about. There are some regulars that come here every Friday and Saturday and you can follow them in learning how to dance. There's a really good band that plays here called Out of the Blue. The lead singers name is Chris and he is friendly enough to speak to you and even talk to you. All I can say is they are a great band that plays great music. Yes, I mean there are some good musicians in this band. You have to come and listen to them. read more

DON'T GO!!!!! Kicked us out being there for 1 minute bc of false accusations. All we did was stand there. Tried to get our $11 back but security threatened to send us to talk to cops for no reason... horrible place, wouldn't go.. they kill a vibe. 22 yo and they still did this. They're just after your money. Musty and overpriced too. read more

So much fun! Relatively friendly place! I was pretty nervous going in with all the reviews but don't listen. I went on a Friday night and it was great. Not super packed, not super rude, no underage drinking. Just good music, good dancing, and cheap beer! read more

I was there tonight as a 45 yr old woman, love Dierks Bentley , got there early, stood in line, had my spot. Got in a fight as amy m of 6 kids for the first time in my life. Someone pushed me and hit my face 5 times. So disappointed in this venue. If you're not up for getting your face bashed in Do Not go here. # whitetrash !!!! read more

Great bar, usually fast service, patience is of the essence tho and the only issue was one of the bartenders tested the drink she made with the same straw that was in her hair read more

If you haven't been here before, you're missing out! HUGE building with multiple bars, a stage, dance floor, bull riding, food truck & more! If you're looking for a place to line dance and enjoy live music, this place is it! If you're looking to kick back with a few drinks and be entertained, this place is it! If you're in the area, you HAVE to check this place out! ***Temporarily closed due to COVID*** read more

I was treated extremely unfair at this establishment. They charge more than it's worth, just to heat some music that is too loud. The drinks are over priced, and the customer service is equivalent to that of Taco Bell. Save your money and do not go here. The restrooms are also very dirty and have never seen a toilet bowl brush or bleach. read more

Absolutely loved the atmosphere here! I'm new in town and wasn't expecting it to be how it is but it was really amazing! Met some great people there and had a blast! read more

This place is the worst bar I've ever step foot into. We were visiting Charlotte and heard Coyote Joes was a fun bar to visit. We came in for 15 minutes and out of nowhere several bouncers came up and hit my boyfriend and knocked me down in the meantime. We have absolutely no idea what caused this, our only guess is that they are racist because we have seen several similar reviews about minorities having a similar experience. I wish I could rate this place a negative 10 this is seriously the worst experience at a bar I've ever had and we are considering legal action read more

SO MUCH FUN! First time line dancing and had a blast. You can easily pin out the regulars, find them and then follow them to learn the steps. We decided to go here because old college friends were visiting and wanted to do some line dancing while down south. I found Coyote Joe's and we couldn't have been more pleased. We went on a Saturday night with the house band performing, from the staff to the customers a great group of people. We were told before we went, be careful of the crowd. We had NO PROBLEMS. We were thinking to ourselves what is a "bad crowd" to people here? My husband and I just moved here from Jersey and worked in Manhattan, and my friends were visiting from Detroit, maybe we're just jaded and used to much worse? Maybe it also because we didn't go there during a live concert night when it's jam packed? To me, it felt like the set of Roadhouse with the feel of Footloose. For any 80's movie lovers, you'll love it here. This Jersey girl wants to buy some boots and go back! read more

Was treated very inappropriately here at my visit, was kicked out and had my wristband cut for underage drinking. But I'm 23!! and nobody asked to see an ID and I was escorted FROM THE WOMENS BATHROOM BY MEN without being able to find my husband or anyone with me that I knew other than one girl I met that night. It was very disrespectful and nobody in my party will be returning. read more

Fix your egress parking. This is literally a hazard. Have staff directing parking. Team with with Charlotte transportation and block one lane on the road. If you're going to operate like a mass-volume event venue then get your basics covered. Waiting over an hour to leave a Tuesday night event is a joke. read more

THIS PLACE. If I went missing, this TRULY would be the last place you would find me. That said however, despite what I thought was going to be a horrible time, this place was pretty rockin'. Literally. We rolled up here on NYE to say farewell to the worst year of my existence- 2016. I was pretty much dragged out here with a couple redneck friends of mine. I was told nothing more than, yes, this is a "country dancehall" with decent bar(s) and decent live music. So why not, I gave it a shot. When our Uber dropped us off, I was reluctant to hear it was only a $20 cover for. Ok, not bad. We walked in and found a solid crowd- good amount of people, but not overcrowded. Walked over to the bar for drinks. It was a little disappointing at first to see the amount of people at the bar, but, wait for it, they turned out drinks super quick (must be "Yankee" bar tenders I guess). Truly was a breath of fresh air. This continued for the majority of the night. The music was pretty sweet solid. They had a good cover band booked. I honestly thought I'd be forced to listen to country all night but they had a good mix of country to rock to classic rock, etc. Although I didn't utilize it, great dance floor space with a good amount of people doing their... "thang". Everything about this place was spot on for a cool nightlife hang. I will however, echo Thomas C. that yes, there are some people this place can do without. We came very close to an all out brawl with another group of... well... I'd rather not get into it. Watch yourself! read more

Went to the stage of stars concert last night. The place was so crowded that you could not enjoy it. The staff was very rude. Kept telling us we needed to move. Again so crowded there was no place to go. Absolutely no one directing traffic. Horrible experience and will probably never attend another event at this venue. read more

I honestly don't recommend this place. Bouncers are assholes, drinks are too expensive, and service at this bar is crappy at best

Essentially a sauna. There is next to no ventilation or way to cool the venue when they pack people in shoulder to shoulder the way they do. They are also always very understaffed at the bars for the amount of tickets they sell. Expect to wait 20+ minutes for a beer. read more

I"m writing this review frooooom the fuuuutuuurreeeee. Coyote Joe's is a big country bar and by big I mean huge. Large dance floor. Multiple bars and more cornhole than you can shake a stick at. It's not really my scene but it's quite cheap so yay! read more

Went for a concert, left early! They totally oversold tickets. They had us slammed in there like a bunch of sardines and staff just kept yelling at everyone to keep walkways clear for fire code. It's a huge place but unless you are in the main dance floor you could not hear the music. If you stood upstairs you couldn't see the stage because of advertisement banners on the railings. I will NEVER go to a concert here again. And to top it off the bartenders were Rude AF. read more

Love this place really great people , good dancing and bouncers and bartenders are lovely! While it made be crowded in concert times it's still a great place to go out with friends and enjoy your night read more

This place is terrible! I visited tonight for the Luke Combs concert. Although he was good, the venue itself made the experience awful. They allowed 3,200 guests inside of the small bar, with little to no air ventilation. I witnessed four people pass out, while others were drenched in sweat. The staff was also incredibly rude. We were packed shoulder to shoulder with no room to move. One particular staff member began yelling at people to move forward. There was no way for anyone to move forward due to the amount of people inside. I tried explaining to that staff member that I was trying to move up and out of the way, but was unable to because nobody else was moving forward. The staff member said "this is your one and final warning, if you don't move I'm kicking your a** out". read more

What a cool place! Line dancing bull riding live bands cheap drinks . We went here for the first time after driving by it for years. We weren't disappointed, had a lot of fun and can't wait to return! read more

Great atmosphere and more than just country dancing! Mechanical Bull, corn hole, pool and more.

My friends and I went here for the very first time, and it was a lot of fun! Full disclosure though - we were amateurs on the dance floor! They teach on Wednesdays, but on the other nights, you just have to keep up, which was easy sometimes and hard others, haha! You may want to YouTube line dancing before coming if you want to dance well! They also have a mechanical bull and a coat check! One thing they didn't have was food, which was weird, since they served alcoholic beverages! There was a food truck outside though, which we didn't know until after we left. We will definitely go back another time! read more

Besides the occasional douchebag city folk, and self righteous from Williamsburg, NY/NoDa hipsters that come in here, this place is pretty damn cool. The cover bands and main event bands are all awesome, drinks are plentiful and cheap, bathrooms are reachable. There's always someone to fix the pool table if something goes wrong. And the food truck outside is quite delectable. read more
