Fantastic restaurant bar with amazing live music that sets the vibe without overpowering the experience. The low-lit ambiance is perfectly calibrated for date night or a night out with friends. Service was attentive, friendly, and clearly dialed in. Overall, a well-executed experience that hits on atmosphere, entertainment, and hospitality. Big win--would absolutely return. read more

There was a cover charge of $10 per person on Saturday night. Went with friends to watch the live band 'Flip District'. The band was really good and kept the party abuzz thru the night. We made table reservations thru OpenTable which was convenient. The hostess was aware of the reservation and had us seated immediately. The staff was very efficient with food and drink orders, inspite of the packed restaurant. They continued to check in on refills. The place is ideal for dancing & partying and not great if you want to catch up with friends for a chat. Pricing : Moderate high read more

Sambuca 360 - American Near Me - Plano, Texas

my first time coming, and I had a really great time. I was invited to a birthday party. It was a Mardi Gras birthday party. The music was awesome. The atmosphere was lively. People were pleasant. I really enjoyed myself. The only negative was the food. The food was not good. I did not enjoy my wings. The drinks were OK. They weren't special or exciting. The most enjoyable part was the music and for that, I'll give them three stars four stars if the food and drinks were perfect however, I would return and maybe my next visit I'll have more flavorful food to review about. read more

Came for RnB Saturday. The party promoters stay was rude. It's unfortunate because the staff of the establishment was nice. First impression leaves a lasting impression. You cannot collect money from people and be unwelcoming at the same time. read more

The new owners are unscrupulous, unethical dishonest by advertising happy hour specials and not honoring them. The advertisement is seen by foot traffic as well as on flyers advertised online. Spoke with Tommy Tommy the dismissive unprofessional owner/magr who said the sign isn't accurate yet it's been up over a month maybe longer. They need to honor it or remove it; the deception is unacceptable! read more

Horrible place, horrible owner and horrible service. The place is falling apart, the bands appear to be rehearsing rather than performing and the bathrooms are nasty. This place was cool about a year ago. Unfortunate. read more

Great place for comedy shows and live DJ MUSIC. The salads are really good. Great location

Good place to meet after work or for a date night. Has a LA type hip feel to the atmosphere that makes you think your smarter than you are..then you the bill and reality arrives read more

Had an amazing time! The band was awesome. Great music and atmosphere. The host was very nice. We had a great bartender.. We had a great time! Will be back! read more

Still a fun place to go. The bartenders seem to be nicer and more engaged than they were back when that place was super busy.

I've been a customer at every location since the mid 90s. You won't be disappointed. Great people great service great atmosphere.

Been here several times before. The Nashville Hot chicken wasn't really Nashville Hot chicken. The only thing that made it hot was the red pepper on top. The chicken was dry, appeared to have been precooked and sitting. I was wondering why the order came out so fast. The vibe is always on point at Sambuca. The live bands have always been good when I have gone. Come here on a Sunday if you're looking for a good time. read more

Placed 2 orders of chicken wings, was told they came with french fries. When the bill came there was a sperate charge for the each order of fries. The server said he was sorry but he made a mistake and we had to pay for them. They also automatically charged a 20% gratuity. read more

I was in town for a business meeting and looking for something close to my hotel so I decided to check out Sambuca 360. To be honest, I was a bit leery to go based on some previous reviews, but I decided to give them a try as the concierge told me it was under new ownership. So glad I went. It had good vibes and attentive staff. The Chicken Marsala was so flavorful and tender! It was a tough call as there were so many options on the menu that appealed to me. I will be returning to try a few more, soon. I also truly enjoyed the entertainment, and it was nice to hear music that I could understand the words and not be offended. Thanks Sambuca 360 for a great evening! read more

Love the new atmosphere and Italian menu! They had a small dinner band playing that was very good. Definitely recommend!

Check your receipt. They won't show you until they run your card but they charge for $1.50 for block ice for a straight no mix drink, and they add 20% gratuity without telling you. ALSO, I ordered an Amaretto Sour and had to pay an extra $1.50 for the sour. Cover charge was $20. The food and band was good but overall experience feels like a disrespectful hidden scam. read more

Nice place for live music and good food! It was a good mixture of a crowd and the service was pretty good considering how packed it was. Can't wait to visit again. read more

Sambuca 360 Plano was great from start to finish. The wait staff (Adriana), bar team, the amazing bartender with moves and flair (he was a show to watch along with the band) and manager Tommy were so professional and welcoming. The crowd was all ages, fun, eclectic and diverse. Lots of space to dance. The band - Top Band - and the stage placement made it feel in the best way like a Las Vegas show. All the appetizers and food were next level good. Drinks - perfect! Plus, the bill at the end of the night which I thought was going to be a shocker was beyond reasonable. Bright and safe outside to wait for Uber late night. Thank you Sambuca 360 management, team and TOP Band! So much FUN! We will come back. read more

Sambuca 360 - DANCING - American Near Me - Plano, Texas

Got some confirmation from the hosts that the cover and costs changes from week to week depending on the band playing. It's unfortunate when there is no consistency, but I guess it is what it is. Did find another venue that also has live music and dancing, the Revel in Frisco. read more

Came here for a family member's birthday and glad we had reservations. It wasn't too packed when we walked in which was nice and we were seated immediately. The ambiance gave "grown and over 35" so not too young of a crowd. They had a live band which was pretty good and I really enjoyed their set. It was a tad loud so if you're expecting to have conversations...don't. Now to the food. I was not impressed by the menu or the food. I ordered the wings and fries. The rest of the table had the fish tacos, chicken fried chicken and chicken bites. I tried the chicken fried chicken and it was seasoned well. Our sever was super nice and helpful with our questions. Personally, if I go back, I'm going to eat prior to going. read more

I'm not sure if all locations are a "private club", but this location is. When I first arrived I showed the front desk my Driver's License (which is normal), then they scanned it and printed a piece of paper for me to sign. I stopped to read it and then asked why I needed to sign and she stated they are a private club and for me to enter I needed to become a member. So I'm instantly a member now. The benefits? You get to enter Sambuca. And there was a cover charge of $10. The vibe was good, people dancing, wait staff available, and plenty of seating. This was on a Saturday night so I expected it to be busier, but glad it wasn't. The drinks were reasonably priced. There was a live band and plenty dancing space. While the band is on break a DJ plays music. read more

It was fun Better enjoyed with a group of people though many still there solo like myself I enjoyed the dj and the music read more

Before recounting my recent experience at this place, I looked at the customer reviews on all of the different platforms and it all makes sense. I was there last Friday 7/1 mainly to see the show since it was my boyfriend's band playing that night. We were greeted at the entrance and invited to sit at the bar. He ordered a drink and fried cauliflower to snack on. Once the show started, I was asked to move away from the bar to make room for the dance floor. No problem. I returned to the hostess to see if I can get a small table. She said they had open seating "anywhere that's not marked reserved". Sounds good...after 4 different attempts to find seating, each time being told to move with no offer to help from any of the staff, I found a seat in the back. After about a minute of taking a seat, this male waiter with a blond buzz cut came at me and demanded that I move. His approach was nothing short of combative - I actually thought he was going to try and fight me. This was not a case of their staff needing to address an intoxicated person causing a problem - I don't drink alcohol. I was also not loitering - I've got plenty of money to spend at places I enjoy. If anyone had offered to serve me, not only would they have received a very nice tip in appreciation for their effort, I would be leaving a positive review mentioning them by name. This is clearly a case of arrogant and confrontational staff who for reasons unknown, uses unnecessary aggression towards a person who just wanted to see the show and have a good night. Between the addlepated and clueless hostesses to the male waiter that apparently likes to fight women, I had enough and I left. On my way out, the very same angry waiter decided to exclaim "Have a nice night!", with a flippant and sarcastic attitude that was 100% intended that way. After reading a good amount of the dissatisfied customer reviews, there's no secret as to why this place has a 2.5 star rating. It goes without saying that I will never set foot in this place again. If you're a person who works hard for your money, I recommend going somewhere where your time and presence is respected and appreciated. If you're going out on a first date, save yourself from embarrassment. If you DO decide to give Sambuca 360 a chance, if you are dissatisfied at any point, I strongly recommend to close out immediately and go to another one of the multitude of places in the area so your night isn't completely ruined. Any attempts to address an issue with the staff or with management is futile - you will be treated as though YOU are the problem. The lack of response from management/ownership to any of the reviews is a good indicator that these people do not care about their guest's experience or the reputation of their business. This place is an armpit and not an accurate reflection of the community in Plano, TX. read more

Reserved a table here tonight. Really cool atmosphere, they clear out the dance floor by 9pm. So either catch a table early or stand/dance all night. We've gone here twice and both times the bands were AMAZING! Such a great variety of music from the last several decades. The wait staff is friendly but weren't knowledgeable really on the menu items, I felt like they were unsure about which entrées were most popular etc. anyhow, we ordered the nachos, chicken bites, ceviche. My parents ordered a few pizza. We all tried everything and thought the food could have been better. Priced a tad higher, so I'm thinking i would have been happier if he food was better. Overall a cool place but Id probably just come for drinks/atmosphere next time. read more

I've lived in Plano for more than 5 years and have never visited. I had a great time celebrating my cousins birthday, hanging out with family. The food was awesome, the place was popping with the music from the band, and our waiter was awesome. We will definitely be back to enjoy this fine establishment in Plano. read more

Had the shrimp and crab dip and the stomach hurt. Music was so loud you could not have a conversation. Now, bands change so maybe it's not always like that, but I bet more so than not. Good crowd, but no one knew how to dance to the music played, but they enjoyed it. Excellent service, nice people on staff, including security. Automatic 20% Calculated correctly. read more

Used to work in this area and always loved their burger with bacon and berry cobbler. They also have a great tequila selection! I stopped by and was happy to learn all my favorites are still on the menu. I ordered my burger and a spicy blueberry margarita. I also met the GM Tommy and he told me they will be doing neo soul Sunday's soon so I'm excited! read more

Sambuca 360 - Spicy blueberry margarita and Burger with pepper jack and bacon - American Near Me - Plano, Texas

Been here three times. All three times with extremely poor service. They just don't care about their patrons. Did not want to come this time but it was a birthday party. They stated they had a reservation for 15 ready but gave our table away. We were 30 minutes early and the moved us 3 times (all to tables of 6). Finally when we all started walking out the door the manager said he would get a table for accommodating 15. Well 1 hour later we finally got a table. We finally ordered food when a waiter came by and they said the kitchen is closed. This is similar to what happened in the past. The place is nice inside, the bands are usually good, but the food quite frankly stinks- as good as a cheap bar. I recommend going to the West side. Please do not waste your money here... there are at least 6 other places nearby that you will have a better time at. PS took 45 minutes to get just one drink. read more

Our favorite place for live music! Once you walk in the door you are greeted by Mikayla and Nina. The security in this place is best in North TX with James, Rico and Kevin always watching over the place. Connor is an amazing bartender and makes some amazing cocktails. Hanna and Emily are just a few of the amazing servers. I am a huge fan of the chicken bites and the American pizza. This venue has the best live music in North Texas area. One of our favorite bands to watch and dance to is 80s Mixed Tape. read more

The first time I came here I sat at the bar. After 20 minutes I was told I had to give up my seat because other people were coming and they needed room. Breanna was sweet enough to ask that our seats be returned but they told her no. Apparently Jeff is the manager and approved of taking people's seats after they've paid to get in. Go somewhere else if you want to pay AND be comfortable. I'm disappointed because I was really hoping it would be a better establishment. Maybe I'll try again another time and see if I get treated better . read more

I was invited to attend birthday party here yesterday Sunday June 25. The air conditioning was obviously not working in your establishment. When we asked the manager about a refund, we were told we weren't spending enough money in this establishment. The pretend manager which was a very tall black guy was rude. He didn't want to admit he was the manager. The air conditioning was working in the bathroom. Totally Unacceptable!! The pretend manager which was a very tall black guy was rude.

If I can give this place negative stars I would. Run don't walk away from Sambuca 360. Made an Open table reservation for 9 PM on a Friday night for my wife and I. They call the next day and say they can't honor that reservation because someone else bumped us. Too many entertainment choices around. You can take your reservation and shove it. A follow up. After my conversation with the club I went on OpenTable again and I was able to reserve for the same day and time as the they bumped me from. Something strange going on with them. read more

Great night out with a band always playing in stage. Throwing it back to all the rock we listened to growing up. The drinks aren't as alcoholic so come in well marinated and ready to dance. For the ladies not too dressy so the heals aren't really mandatory. Be comfortable to dance and party read more

This was my 1st time at this place and I was impressed, Great food great service, band was awesome on 4/15/23

Worst service ever. Never got refill, had to ask several times for another drink (which was never brought), pizza was gross and had no flavor. For the prices you would at least think we could get refills on our waters. Wouldn't waste my time here at all. read more
