My wife and I go here fairly regularly, especially on Friday nights. There's no cover on Friday…read morenight, with a DJ. They play a good combination of country music, two step, half step, and a few waltzes thrown in. There is usually set or two of hip hop thrown in. Saturday night usually has live music and a cover. This can be good depending on what you are here for. Depending on the band - not as much dancing. I find the dance floor could use some TLC at this point, but overall, it's a great place to come and dance. Not the cheapest drinks, nor the most expensive. Standard beer selection, nothing in the way of craft or dark beers.

Since I'm not never ever ever ever coming back here I may as well review. So I'm finding out that…read morethe primarily African american owned/frequented bars are in this area called Bellmead. I came to check it out on a Sunday evening just to see what it looks like. Its pretty old looking and when I walked in I immediately wanted to walk out. Everyone stared for a minute then told me 'come on in here sweetie pie.' Folks playing pool. Rooting for their team (pool league) and kicking back. Not the cleanest place but most dive spots are somewhat questionable on cleanliness. So guy gets up off his bar stool and goes behind the bar. Says what u want? Whatcha got? Beer. You got wine? Nope. We got wine coolers. They still make those? He didnt see the humor. Anyhow I ordered a Heineken and tried to drink it as fast as I could cause how you call yourself a club and dont have a liquor license? Its BYOB or something. I go out when I want someone else to make the drink. Ended up staying for 2 beers since one of the regulars bought me a second. Thank ya kind sir. Hightailed it out of there as the sun went down. Bar keep hollered "come back on Friday for ladies night." Don't think so. Went and hung out with them Baylor kids at a spot with a full bar. Not my cup of tea.

Where is the count health department at because they should really get that fixed. Don't wear your good shoes out because they will be ruined. Also because when just walking inside you might slip from the floor being so gross. The last time I was there a fight broke out and the guy got his nose busted. This is not what I come to see when o go out.

Was there a couple of weeks ago on a Saturday and I had not been there in over a year but my last time was a good time. As I arrived at the front door there were 2 guys in line with "untucked" shirts. I saw a little sign in front of them that had a picture of a snub nosed handgun. Apparently, they have a new rule where if you have an untucked shirt you must lift it up and turn around in a circle so they can see you are not carrying a firearm. VERY FAIR AND I GET IT. I'm actually all for the safety of everyone. Well...the 2 guys ahead of me walked right in and pass the doorman after showing their ID. But when I got to him a manager walks up to the doorman and informs him "It's important that you search everyone who comes in". Ok.... so he makes me do the shirt lift and turn and once convinced I had no gun he let me go in.... but I was curious. So I stand there and watched my other 2 "untucked" shirt friend come in, show their ID and walk right in without being searched. From behind them, 2 more "untucked" shirt people walked in after showing their ID's....no search. I felt really embarrassed and humiliated and my friends were in a bit of a shock as well. Because the only difference between me and the 6 people who did not get checked for firearms was my dark skin tone. But it's not all negative. The music was great and the bar staff was amazingly friendly and knowledgeable. I would love to come back but after the incident to get in to this place....I think it's better if I didn't.

We decided to give the place another chance after how rude staff was to us but that was a huge mistake. During the drag show the performers were touching all over patrons who clearly did NOT consent to the sexual attention, some even left after being touched by them. My partner, who is autistic, went to give a performer a tip and she shoved their face into her chest. I had to calm them down, hoping it was a one off, but then the same person did it to them again the next time they were performing. It only stopped because they stood behind me for the rest of the show. We also watched as a partner in another couple got publicly ridiculed for not being okay with the physical attention. Her partner got groped in front of the whole crowd and the performer pulled her out to the center to argue about it. This place is disgusting and we will never be back.
