The atmosphere is usually pretty good but there are some pros and cons.
Pro: never had any issues with the staff they were always nice and respectful and most of the people that we have ran into have been respectful with country manners.
Pro: has dance floor and live music.
Pro: has a variety of seating
Pro : has some games billiards, life-size Jenga , hunting Safari game , and I think a few others.
Pro : more than one place to order a drink
Pro and Con if you go on a Friday or Saturday it's usually packed.
Con : parking can be an issue especially in the winter the long walk in the cold if you get there late.
Con: even though this place has a nice atmosphere the sound level is more like that of a bump and grind club. It's so loud we were literally yelling at each other to communicate. Very bad for somebody with sensory issues highly recommend earplugs, usually that will drown out the background noise but you could hear each other talk still with ear plugs.
I think it would really benefit the business for them to adjust this to put the majority of the sound at the front of the stage so if people want louder music they can move towards it. Was very difficult to have a conversation with anyone ,and if you're dancing with someone and teaching them it's very difficult for them to hear you and makes the dancing less fun and more of a fumble.
Con: The dance floor is kind of awkward, they have support beams in the middle of the dance floor. And then they have picnic style tables on both sides of the dance floor it doesn't really make sense to me. Maybe they arranged that way because of Covid and just left it. But when you're dancing if you go too far to either side you're suddenly running into somebody's table and usually that's because you're trying to move out of the way because there's so many people on the dance floor. Again I think it would make more sense if they would remove the tables from both sides open up that dance floor so more people will want to come and dance. It's hard to get someone who is shy about dancing to go on a dance floor when they're worried about getting ran over or bumped into constantly. And when there's a bunch of people that are under the influence this can quickly lead to an issue .
Con: The air quality could be better with the amount of people that are usually crammed in there it can feel a bit warm and stuffy at times.
Con: There is a cover charge ,but I have never been there on night where they were cutting off the amount of people inside.Instead of that there would be no seating and you'd have to stand whole time .
Con: I don't think they have anybody managing the bathrooms it gets messy in there quick.
Con: I wish they had some appetizing food and an atmosphere that would allow some conversation while eating. Food would help balance out alcohol intake and probably make it little safer for those who can't handle their alcohol.Would also be good for people with blood sugar issues so they don't have to leave the fun just to eat.
Con: People take your table if you get up to dance or go to the bar , we've had our drinks knocked over and broken and we were only up from our table about few minutes to go close our tab at the bar. Again I think this is due to the imbalance of people over seating and the alcohol intake it versus the food in a persons stomach ,after a few hours some of these people are just gone lol . Overall this is still the best live music bar with a dance floor I have ever been to and very much appreciate the country vibes. But I think they would greatly benefit from re-strategizing their seating towards the entrance of the building and opening up the Dance floor more and adding volume control. I don't think anybody that works a full day wants to go fight for a seat or a space on the dance floor and then have to scream at their friends just to communicate lol or at least me and my girls don't . We will be back but definitely hope they make some improvements in the meantime. read more
