Although I normally wouldn't go out somewhere like Bubba's, I had to put on my party pants and go since my friend wanted her bachelorette party to go out here. Drinks on flowing, Christmas lights, funky decor, and a technicolor dance floor with a bunch of girls wearing wigs, what more could you ask for? The takeaway I learned from this experience was not to judge a book by its cover. We had a great time dancing the night away and celebrating our bride to be.

Everyone dressed on theme and had a great time. The vibes were pure, the night was young, and I felt like a Dancing Queen. 1 star docked for how pricy the drinks were and for the long lines.

Unlike the other staff members, he lacks the friendliness and approachability that I have come to expect. It is evident that he requires some training on how to treat regulars. Additionally, the new bartender is not as competent as Angie, who has been working at the bar for a while. Everyone appreciates her bartending skills, and she is exceptionally kind. Personally, I believe that I have only started to experience gaslighting when she is bartending at the nightclub. While the new staff members are generally acceptable, they need to improve their customer service skills. In my opinion they need put Angie the well experienced bartender at night club.

We arrived @ 6pm no guests seated in the bar area, we decided to sit on the patio, 3 other tables with guests, they left one by one, and then we left. Without ever seeing a waitress. Apparently the bar area with all the patron's took precedent. We waited down stairs for my husband to bring back ribeye subs. During this time 8 guests went up 20 min later they came back down, stating they were not served. I advised the hard working staff at the downstairs take out, they expressed their concern, and apologized. I hope the waitress and bartenders enjoyed their time with the "Birthday Girl" and her guests. I'm sure the tip left was minimal vs what our table would of left. 1 star review = no review.
