Bar Watson

A mixed crowd with a wide age range. No worries of fights breaking out since you must pay to get in. There is a karaoke side and then a hip hop side. Dress is from casual and up. The down side is there is not a lot of seating, and you are charged twice if you use your credit card to pay for entrance. Bummer! They have a credit card machine there, but it charges you about $6 to use it. Rip off!!! Water is free I guess since there was an entrance fee.

Always have a great time here! The bar tenders and staff are really nice. But the best part is the karaoke nights with DJ Danz! He is loads of fun, always does his best to make you sound good, and always keeps the list in order so no one is getting skipped.

Awesome place awesome music great dancing and Ive seen a lot of places but this one I really enjoyed the atmosphere was so amazing great servers with only the best vibes with darts 😜 playing pool and the crazy fun here how could you not wanna come karaoke wed Thursday Friday and Saturday

This place is excellent they have extraordinary servers and a highlife like no other drink deals and a party feel nightclub better than the electric cowboy was and theres all types of music played with darts and pool to play while you drink it was so good I tipped my server 20 bucks very happy with my night definitely will come back tomorrow if there parking runs out in the front park in the back

Awesome atmosphere, great staff, new pool tables, some of the best karaoke youll find around town, and also they have poker and some great prize money on karaoke contests. The new owner has really changed the place around for better!

Bar Watson is a multi-faceted club. I discovered it over a year ago, and I have been going back ever since. There are two separate bars to explore, each with its own vibe. There tends to be a good mix of people who go there. The staff are fantastic. A total of three service bars inside and the bartenders will keep your glass full with a smile. They have pool tables, and different activities planned for certain nights. They have two dance floors and two DJs to keep the music pumping. My favorite night to go to Bar Watson is Wednesday, Thursday or Saturday karaoke night with DJ Danz. DJ Danz is one of the best karaoke jocks ever. Hes got the voice, the personality, and the know-how to make anybodys karaoke experience a fun and memorable one. He makes it exciting! He is a darn good dance dj as well. DJ Danz gets 10 Stars! Bar Watson is changing, for the better. Im generally not a bar person but this place has become my Cheers. So, whether you are looking to just socialize with some friends over a few drinks or play some pool or get your dance moves on or sing your heart out, Bar Watson is a good fit for you. They want to get to know you!

Bar was ok. Do not like the dance floor at all. Floor is sticky so your shoes stick to it. Drinks are very expensive 9 dollars for a small cup and at that rate you could spend hundreds of dollars to get a small buzz. Cuos like that should cost around 4 to 5 dollars not 9

The cover doesnt really bother me as the DJs gotta be taken care of but man alive, the last few times Ive been here on Saturday nights the music has been horrific. The place really doesnt get going until about 10:30pmin 2.5 hours I heard:- a 4-song stretch where the DJ played 3 Black Eyed peas songs. I got a feeling is a song for your Conservative Christian wedding, not at an establishment like this late on a Saturday night- The Cupid shuffle twice- The Wobble song 3 times. yes, 3 times.40 people standing around the dance floor while 5 people try to dance just makes for kind of a lame evening.

Still go here alot. Lauren on the right side of the bar is absolutely amazing. Definitely a great tender that will take care of you. Dance floor is a bit small when it gets busy. Can definitely get hot inside. But we do have fun. Be careful where you park your car. Most places you can park is not watched and doesnt have cameras. There is nothing the bar will do about it if your car gets broken into.

Great place to hang out & love the karaoke nights ! Curtis Danz is the best & he is always taking care of us. What a great guy.

My partner and I went to this place, it seemed awesome. We got to the bar and pulled out our ID’s, and then they went to their manager to ask if she could take our ID’s and she said that I couldn’t because I didn’t have the sideways license… I’m 23, my birthday is on the license.. she was very sarcastic about it too. Never coming back. Cool atmosphere though.

The last few weekends there it’s been dead. There is no reason to pay $15 to sit in an empty bar with obnoxious music. It’s not worth your time. Go somewhere downtown. The staff is friendly that’s why 2 stars.

Very unimpressed with the service at this place. Went to the karaoke night and while it was fun. The bartender did not serve my other half’s drink correctly and he threw up within an hour of taking it (he’d only had one drink that night. The bouncer was VERY rude about him throwing up in the trash can and getting a little on the floor by accident and assumed he was drunk and would not let him back to the bar to tell him he has to go wait in the car. He missed my song. Very overall unhappy. Service was slow as they only have one bartender to what seemed like 60+ people. My drink was also not made with precision as you can tell she felt rush.

I went here for my birthday, it didnt fill up until the last few hours before closing which wasnt super fun. The atmosphere was great and the people were nice. The stage area couldve used more space, it was crowded when the drag shows were going on. All around a decent placw

This is the very best night club in Chattanooga. Read their website for more info on whats going on the night you want to go. Rabbit 🐰 is the best bartender in Chattanooga so please tip him well. They have a dress code so please dress to impress. Wednesday night karaoke 🎤 is a blast as well.

Great place to have a good time! Bartenders are fast and friendly!

First time ever visiting this night club. I must say that I truly enjoyed myself! This club has a mixture of races that patreon here... Which I love!!!! The DJ played a wide range of music, and the dance floor was packed! The restroom was very clean and easily accessible. I didnt get any food, but from what I saw, it looked appetizing. The drinks..... Baaaby, those Lemon Drops will get you right!!! Its a vibe here, and I will definitely be returning!

Had a great time as part of the Chattanooga Poker tour. One of the best bars in the area with fantastic service.

Food is great! Atmosphere is energetic and service from all the bartenders are amazing!

Great bar wastons has such great staff and great food and I have to say best in Chattanooga TN.

Great drinks, great service, & DJ Danz is the best karaoke DJ in Chattanooga!

My husband and I have been to bar Watson a few times the last few weeks. The food is always great and the drinks are the best around. Lauren and Lorrin are the best bar tenders behind the bar , they crush it with awesome drinks & great personalities! We will definitely be back to see them and have a great time a bar Watson !

I play poker here on Thursday nights for free tournament Texas Hold em. This place is great. And the service is friendly and fast.

Not somewhere I would recommend. Drinks are alright & I get “dress code” but to not allow someone access because of their race is beyond me. Honestly, I’d try Cigar Bar, Shady’s, Clyde’s, Unknown Caller, or even Blue Light before here. Save yourself some energy & go have better vibes elsewhere.

After a great birthday dinner at an amazing restaurant in downtown Chattanooga. My friends and I wanted to end the night at “Bar Watson “ where we’ve heard so many great things about! After standing in line for 15 minutes one of the“Security/ Bouncers” came around and said that No one is aloud to come in with Camouflage wear! Well… it was a cute Camo Dress. We looked online before we plan our night out and NO dress code was mentioned on their site. I understand there has been lots of gang related/ unruly people causing lots of chaos… but we just wanted to listen to some good music, drink a little and celebrate my birthday! Not to mention we were from out of town and just wanted to have fun!Not sure if we will be back but to run a good business and continue good feedback you should UPDATE your website More often on Dress Codes and other changes!

The place is awesome, new owners are very nice ,clean and great atmosphere. Great job 👏 👍 👌.

We have always had a good time here however we planned a special night with friends and reserved a cabana with the hostess and manager Dave. Only to arrive with 14 friends and be told we had no reservation. The bartender took an attitude with me when I tried to explain. The manager on the floor attempted to find us seating- Which was in the back corner away from everyone and everything. We won’t be back.

Definitely our favorite place to go , and you get to enjoy it without the hassle of going to downtown chatt. The drinks are always on point, great atmosphere, the aesthetic of the place is definitely unique and worth going to see.DJ, dance floor, drinks, it’s got it all.5/5 the best napkins in town. I’d pay money to come see the owner pick them Up

This place is nice $10 cover charge. It’s hip. And the crowd is fairly mixed. On Fridays they have a section where they play salsa , bachata and regeton. Saturdays they have a drag show.All types of people. Bartenders are busy . But with 3 different bars. You have a choice if one is full. People have a lot of fun. I laughed like hell. Must go in chattanooga

Got assaulted by a person on NYE. I stood my ground and restrained from using unnecessary force. Well, they began taunting me with lewd gestures, which I thought was kinda funny. I walked away from them and stood by while security dissolved the situation. Next thing I know, Im being escorted out. Today, I was told that I was barred because I didnt walk away, even though the other party wasnt leaving. I didnt want to turn my back to them until security came. Matter of fact, I was told that I should have used extra force because standing there was antagonizing the other party, who started the incident. So, if you get in a situation, throw the first punch and dont stop until security is peeling you off your aggressor. Happy New Year 😂

Amazing Atmosphere only thing missing is pool tables love to play poker when its there and great place to chill with Great food !! Me and the wife like to pull up here when were able 2 good getaway place to have some Fun!!

Black haired bar tender isnt very kind and seems to be in love with herself, shows thru her fake smile. Was going to order a drink and was told to move out of area where she serves drinks. Its a bar. I saw no designated this is the serving area Rest of the staff was kind. 1st drink was standard, 2nd watered down margarita mix. Will I go again ? No, never. Also know theres a 10 buck cover charge, to be treated like your in the way. Your decision is on you, mine has been made. If it were not for the very kind bartender on the Spanish side of the bar I wouldnt have left any stars, she needs to be placed in charge of teaching the other bartenders how one greets a customer.Hi DocYou began wrong by imagining Im the kind of person that would just stand in the way. In fact I had just walked up to order. No one asked me to move multiple times, they would only have to ask one time.I conduct myself in a professional manner when Im out always. I know the rules of bar equitte. Im probably the same age as you, so it wasnt my first trip out. I imagined you being a business owner would like to know how things were being ran.I guess I imagined wrong. Thanks for the reply though. Reading your response delves a little deeper into the answer of why those issues occurred.Cheers..

BE CAFEFUL!!!From Chicago, I visit facility all the time when in Chattanooga. This time will be the last. Held tab with card, total $86 paid the waitress cash total $115 IN HER HAND AND SAID KEEP THE CHANGE..and they still charged my card. I went and spoke to a manager and still no response, No one answering calls.. I’m trying to be patient but will have to dispute with bank which will be an inconvenience ..

My friend and I stayed in a motel across the street from Bar Watson one night during a road trip and wanted something to eat around 11pm. The Questionable Quesadilla was ANYTHING but questionable, seriously SO good. The drinks were delicious, the bar tender thoughtful and obliging. The front dance floor was fairly empty and the DJ kept playing full length songs, HOWEVER....we wandered into the back room behind the hostess stand and discovered a completely different vibe. A dance floor and DJ dedicated to Latin music and dancing!!!!! Bachata and Meringue were the main styles featured with several guests who knew how to dance them! A hidden gem and unexpected surprise. So glad to have found this place for a wonderful evening.

Want to thank everyone there, the performers, staff, and even the customers who participated and made my nephews birthday so special! It was his 1st time in a public place like this and he loved it! Everyone made him feel like their own family. My cheeks hurt from smiling ♡♡♡♡

Best recommendation from the waitress was the cheese sticks. Which were just frozen cheese sticks from a bag. Even for bar food the app sample platter was pretty terrible. Came out of kitchen in less than 3 minutes, cold and premade. Cant comment on drinks since we just got bud light bottles. Not going back, theres a lot better bars.

I love Bar Watson! Especially bike nite! Excellent Ceasar salad & hubby likes their sandwiches! Attentive servers who care about their customers! Great live music that you can dance to!❤️

Amazing vibe. Came here with a large group of friends last night and everyone had a fantastic time. Can’t wait to come back

If you’re looking for a night out of dinner, drinks, and entertainment in the Chattanooga area Bar Watson is the place to be! Formerly known as The Palms, this place has done an amazing job transitioning into something even better than it already was. New paint, new art (many many clocks), new DJ (thank GOD) , new staff, etc. I love the new look! The new paint inside makes the place look bigger, the new art makes it look more upscale, the suspenders and bow ties make the staff look professional, and the music played by the DJ (Dj O) kept me moving all night! I.Will.Be.Back! I highly recommend trying out Bar Watson. #BestMusicAround #BestCheeseSticksInTown

Held my card only for me to keep walking from my table to serve myself. I paid cash still tipped 30 and they still charged my card. And they on here responding and lying. I never been in that place till new years and i havent talked to anyone
