We went last Friday and it was a blast. IF I have to pick something to not like, it was that it smelled like cigarettes. But it’s a bar so that’s to be expected. That’s just my personal issue. The whole staff was attentive and quick. Very pleasant to talk to. The drinks were cold. The restrooms were clean. The people are friendly. We would go back!

What an amazing night club. Dancing (not just crusty old country line dancing, although they could use some good, old, country music) the bull riding, stage for bands and events, multiple bars and food with little wait time, for how many people this huge place holds! Definitely recommend for a good time, especially if you like people watching, or being watched!

DO NOT EAT THE FOOD. As much fun as I have at this place, my friend and I both got food poisoning and spent the entire following day with severe stomach aches and purging from both ends. We were nervous to try the food and when I asked people who worked there and some regulars they all said they don’t eat the food. Such a shame, because the place is great. The food is dangerous, you’ve been warned.

Went for the first time. A worn but nice venue. The main problem I had was with the bars. If you order a double anything with soda you are lucky to get one full shot in it. Then you are charged for two. Ordered a bourbon on the rocks. The clear plastic cup was full of ice (not melted yet) but tasted very watered down. Stick with drinks with caps.

Great place to see a concert! Awesome atmosphere with a huge dance floor that will fill up as the night goes on. Great beer prices with bucket options. Designated drivers pay one price for armband get sodas all night. Pizza, pretzels, chips with the fixings. 3 bars and a mechanical bull for the daredevil in you! Get up close and personal concerts here. Chances are you are gonna see the artists milling about the crowd before or after a show! The owners are exceptional at taking care of their in house box office customers!

It’s a good place to have a few drinks and enjoy joining in on the line dancing! The dance routine classes every 1-2 hours are super easy but super fun!

This place is fantastic. A great venue for shows - you can get close to the stage, stand, sit, dance, whatever you want. They have two large dance floors, multiple bars, at least two areas with pool tables, and the requisite mechanical bull with a nice inflated/padded area for safety. And let’s just say the ladies bathroom has some very nice decor…After an initial mixup about our VIP tickets where we missed the meet and greet with the musician, their general manager, Bill Stamper, went above and beyond to make things right. It wasn’t the venue’s fault in the first place, but they fixed it for 3 first-time customers who had driven 5 hours to see an act there. We left very happy! Thank you to Bill and the management there, as well as Chase McDaniels and the band for being such great performers and being so down-to-earth and authentic with their fans. 5 stars!

Google and their website says its open till 3am on Saturdays. We paid for entry, we paid for drinks, we paid for riding the bull, we paid for playing pool. And yet, at 1:30 they told us they were closing and we had to go. There were 4 of us in the middle of a game of pool which we had paid for and drinking drinks which we had paid for, and they made us leave all of it unfinished because they decided it was time to close early. Neither I, nor any of the people with me that night, nor anyone I tell about this experience will ever spend money here again.

Aaron Lewis never disappoints! The facility is big with multiple mini bars setup and a main bar, activities such as bull riding if youre up for that, arcade games, pool and air hockey. Where they lack is seating and its not a good setup for concerts. Luckily someone stole our seats even though our belongings were there and we were standing behind the sound booth front and center and had an amazing view!

Came to see Alan Cooper play. Was advertising that the band would start at 8:45. We got there early to make sure we were able to get a seat. Most of the bar was standing room only. The opening act came out at 8:45, played 5-6 songs and asked if everyone was ready to see Alan Cooper. That was at 9:10. Its now 10:30 and still no Alan Cooper. Im very disappointed. Why advertise the band starts at 8:45 if they have no intention on starting things while past that time. If I hadnt drove 3 hours to see this concert and bought tickets months ago Id have left already. I probably wouldnt care as much if the drinks werent so weak and I had a little buzz but even the drinks were a disappointment. I ordered Captain Morgan and Coke with grenadine and basically got Coke. If there was rum in my drink it wasnt Captain Morgan.Update: The next morning my husband and I woke up with a horrible hangover. I drink Captain Morgan and Coke all the time and never get a hang over. He always has Jack Daniels and never gets a hangover. That night we each had 3 small drinks spread out over the course of 5 hours with water in between. Im pretty sure what they gave us was cheap liquor and not what we asked for. That would explain why the drinks didnt taste right.

Review №25

We had 4 people in our group we paid good money to sit at a table and we ended up not even being able to see the concert because the people at the table next to us wouldn’t sit down or at least be respectful and not stand where no one could see. And when the security people were told (more than once) they pointed us out directly when saying not to keep obnoxiously hitting us when moving from one end of the table to the other. They had at least 12 people standing around their table to make it so no one from our table and the table behind ours couldn’t see. Loved the atmosphere hate how the security handled the situation. You would think when these people didn’t listen the first 2 times and started trying to start a fight with us and the other table you would remove them, but I guess them drinking and spending money was worth more to them then people coming back there.

We had the best experience for one of my best friends Bachelorette parties! The owner, Mark, the GM, Bill, and the worker Dwayne gave us a night to remember. They put us in VIP, treated us like royalty, and made it a night we will never forget. We can’t thank them enough! We will be back to party soon!

Review №28

If you buy tickets for concert be very aware. You think you are getting assigned seats for a decent price. Then you are directed to Ticketmaster and then redirected to another ticket outlet and the price goes up three times the original price for general admission seats. If that’s not bad enough, the musician you bought the tickets for comes on 2 hours later than the start time. Total rip-off and waste of money. Live and learn! Don’t fall into that trap like I did!

Review №32

The place is average at best. Nothing truly special. When I went it was late February early March. I went with a friend just to check the place out since neither one of us had been. I think the staff knew that too. They weren’t mean, but they weren’t nice either. We didn’t feel welcome and we felt out of place. Most of the people there were regulars, so we got odd looks throughout the night. I mean we had fun, but it wasn’t because of the place it was because we were with each other. There was a concert that night so it was just a little extra to get in, which we were unaware of, but that’s my fault for not looking into that. The place smelled of cigarettes even though people went outside to smoke. Idk maybe I went on an off night? Maybe it’s not for me? Maybe I should learn how to line dance? Idk. Suggestions are welcome! TIA!

Not coming back again. Drive 3 hours to see the Tyler far concert, didn’t even get to see him perform. The place was beyond packed and one security guard kept singling me and my wife out every time we would try to stand somewhere he would tell us we couldn’t stand there. She has claustrophobic issues and can’t be in a big crowd. We was standing where they didn’t have any “no standing no sitting” rules at and he came up and told us we had to leave right after the opener finished so we didn’t even get a chance to see Tyler far. We weren’t disorderly or anything just honestly trying to see the stage. This was supposed to be a Valentine/anniversary present hence why I drove so far out of our way to give it to her. Moral of the story if you’re going for a concert stay away from here. They have too many dumb rules that apparently if you stand somewhere you don’t even know if you’re allowed to you get kicked out. Hopefully the radio station sees this cause I hope they can help out. This place doesnt deserve these people for their concerts.

They started charging $1 for a glass of water! How is that in any way safe or the best thing for your customers? We are coming here spending tons of money on alcohol while trying to stay safe and hydrated and you’re going to charge $1 for one cup. I don’t know any bar in the United States that would do that. So disappointing!

Review №42

They let younger patrons treat older patrons awful! They are based around the 18-23 age range. Would not advise, even for an artist if you are of older age. Security doesnt care, they only care about the younger crowd. They let the younger crowd mock, and harass older patrons. If you are over 30, I would not suggest them. The certain group of people we had to deal with already had an altercation and yet they let them stay. Apparently, excuse me isnt the appropriate way to get go out of the crowd.

Review №44

Don’t buy tickets from this venue PERIOD. You will get ripped off! This place is shady and deceptive-bought tickets through 8 Seconds Saloon’s website and it unknowingly redirected us to a 3rd party site masked as Ticketmaster. When the show got rescheduled and we requested a refund, the venue hid behind the 3rd party site and offered no solution. They even admitted in writing that their site redirects you to an unknown 3rd party because they ‘pay big.’ Completely Unethical and dishonest-shame on this venue for ripping people off and knowingly doing so.

Went in on Saturday night (normal DJ night). There was no cover and they were giving out concert tickets at door. I was surprised this place is a lot cleaner than other county bars I have been to. Everyone was friendly, from staff to people on dance floor. There was a good mix of all ages there. If you dont like line dancing, this might not be the place for you. If you do, there is a dance to almost every song and people are willing to help you learn. Also, there are pool tables and a mechanical bull.EDIT: I have been back a few times since my first experience, even a couple concerts. The GM really cares about making sure people have a good time - and because of that, I will continue to support this venue.

Review №46

Wasn’t really impressed. First time being here and you couldn’t even go out on the dance floor to do a real dance. I am not talking line dance because I don’t consider that a real dance. Remember a few steps thats what they call a dance well ok then I guess that’s ok. People are very rude. Not the staff but the customers or should I say the so called line dancers. Needless to say the first time will be my last time there.

My friends and I love coming here for concerts! There is always plenty of room, so you can find a spot to see the stage either at the tables along the dance floor or on the actual dance floor depending on your preference. The staff is nice and the atmosphere is great! Plus the tickets are extremely affordable, which is a plus!

Had a nice time...6:20 arrival to get seats. When band started several people standing blocking view. Opening band didnt start as scedualed at 8:45. Would be nice if they started at 8:30 & headliner at 10:30 instead of 11.A bit loud when bands played. Left before Jimmie Allen was over because of our 1 hr 40 min drive. Food & beverage good. We received complimentary tickets when leaving for next show. Would come more often if it started a bit earlier.

WARNINGFun place to go, good music. I used to have a blast. Went to all the shows and tremors too. Me and several of my buddies, spent a lot of money up there. They hired this short brown headed shot girl, waitress named Michelle awhile back. She isn’t bad looking but, get a few drinks in her and she will screw everyone. That’s what the downfall was, she was meeting up with me one minute, then a cpl weeks later I’d be up there and she’s having my buddy follow her up to the dollar inn on Washington. I found out she had a boyfriend too, and was screwing everybody including management. Band guys, you name it. Thing is she passing around stds that u will never get rid of among other things. Just had a baby and still up there screwing the manager who let her work, Jim. They lied to child support said she didn’t work there so her kid didn’t get supported the whole time..,,, beware!!!! Don’t do it!!!!!!!

We purchased tickets for a concert at this venue more than 3 hours away from our home. When we arrived we found out the show didnt start when they said, it started 4 hours later. The seating was significantly different than what we were lead to believe when we paid for the tickets and our view was obstructed by a large crowd of people. There was a handicapped woman at our table in a wheelchair that could not see anything this was brought to the general managers attention and he said it wasnt his problem. When I told him it was his problem because if we had gotten the seats we had purchased this wouldnt be an issue he then told me to mind my own business because I didnt know the woman. I will never come back to this establishment and I would never recommend this place to anyone.....Also the food is awful.

8 second saloon sells VIP standing tickets so you can be closer to the stage. What they forget to tell you is that they dont care if you paid a little extra. They moved the barrier in front of the stage and put a whole row of extra people in front of us. We had been standing there since the doors opened at 6pm and this whole row of people just gets put right in front of us. My fiance is 411 and had a 6 tall person standing in front of her. What a great show. Would not recommend. I would put 0 stars if I could.

For my first visit there, we went to see Scotty McCreery on a Friday night. The show was great, and the place was packed. They had deals on longnecks for $17.25 for a bucket of five. They gave us tickets to come back for a show in April too. The opening act was good, and there was lots of dancing and other fun stuff to do there as well. They had pool, a mechanical bull, food, some arcade games, and a four different bars within the saloon. I would recommend it for a fun evening and will be back.

We paid to reserve a whole table to see David Lee Murphy. People were standing and blocking the view. When I asked security if they could do something about it they claimed that some of the people were family of David Lee Murphy and there was nothing we could do. We assumed we would be in a better area since we paid for a table but we were not. Very disappointed. If they were his family I just want them to know how incredibly rude they were to his fans.

Updated review.Since I was driving through I decided to stop and see another favorite, this experience was much better, other than yout typical rude drunks which is pretty much at any show. The security guard Bishop was extremely kind and took a few minutes to make one of our friends fighting cancer feel special. (Thank you, you made her night) Didnt even attempt to use the bathroom and I wasnt drinking so cant comment on that.I did add one more star and bought a ticket for a show in February.Original review..Drove down from Detroit for one of my favorite bands. While most of the staff was very kind and polite there were quite a few issues. First 2 different bars charged different prices for the exact same drink the first one they charged $6.50 the second one at a different bar was $4.50 wth hell is that? By the end of the night the floor in the ladies bathroom was worse than a porta potty.While watching the show the people next to me were constantly bumping into me. I seriously couldnt even enjoy the show. I asked them to stop and they just got more rude.People were also jumping the barricade between the GA and reserved seating, nobody stopped them. And to top it all off at the end of the very end of the night, some idiot pushed his girlfriend into me as I was talking to some friends almost knocking me to the ground, spilling my drink and continued to push her as she tried to get away from him. Nodody from the venue stepped in til one of our people grabbed a security gaurd. Im now laying in bed at my hotel with pain in my hip and leg. There are several venues I would road trip to this is not one of them. Such a bad first impression. There definitely needs to be more of a security presence with in the crowd during shows. I will give them major props on the pulled pork nachos though.

Bad experience about sitting, my husband got a ticket for the Micro Federation Wrestling online, arrived super early to get the best spot at the table and after been there for over an hour the rest of the people for the table arrived and bullied him out, so he went with the problem to the establishment staff and their solution was to ask him to move.... weird weird weird, my husband came back EXTREMELY disappointed and devastated. It looks like they need to learn to respect and treat their clients who show up alone to events with the respect they deserve and not take sides with bigger parties because it might be the easier way out

Bad experiance: I called the bar and ask about getting tickets for a performance I am told I can get them at the door. When I arrive the bouncers do not let me in the door after I show them my ID (From anouther State) I am asked if I have tickers? While waiting out side I Heard same bouncer make a call and tell the people lots of room and $10 at the door and the bar wasent full. 7 hour drive to see a show and bouncers wont let my wife and I past the front door. Would give this place less then one star of I could. But maybe if the bouncers where respectable individuals. I might have seen what great bar this is but never again.

Come Here Often. Cant Here the Vocalist. Sound System needs updated 30 years ago. Its Hott as Hell, I cant keep a buzz because Im sweating more alcohol than my body can consume. The older Blonde Bartender who is always here and is always ruder every time I visit, is too busy waving customers to come to her line instead of giving a single lick of good customer service. The other bartenders are rely attractive and mostly sweethearts. Still the only place in town where i can see a descent country show. Whoever dose the booking is on it. Yes I will be back....hopefully the service gets better!!

Iam only giving 3 stars do to the fact that the waitres poked me in the eye with her book then spilled her tray full of ice and left over drinks all over my right side. All she did was asked if i needed paper towels and I nodded my head yes but she never brought them back, so i sat there for the last 20 min of the concert. And only reason I sat there was I wasnt gonna miss the rest of concert that my son brought tickets for my birtday. I went to the bar afterwards to talk to someone but they were very busy. So thanks to waitres I drove 4 hours home in very wet clothes.

By 10:30 still no Kane Brown and was tired of being pushed and screamed at by drunk people who were never kicked out for fighting. Honestly if I didnt pay $133 for the tickets I would have left. Absolutely ridiculous.

Went to Chris Jansen concert here it was good, DONT GO IF you cant line dance bc that is all the dancing they do there.....also this night the bull was not working but other than that drinks were good. 👏🏼

Over the years the place has gotten better with the crowd but needs some fresh paint and floor cleaning services... Mostly country music but other events are known to use the facility for a small show.

Be careful where you put your drink...keep your eyes on it at all times. I set my drink at the bar and went to the dance floor, came back took a drink. Less than 30 minutes later I fell out. I was slipped a ruffy. Have been back since. Wont ever go back!

Great venue for live bands and a D.J.. Always people dancing, there seems to be a different dance for every song, I think they have lessons on Wednesdays.

The heat was unbearable and when I went to the back bar and stood for an hour to get 2 beers I asked the bartender and she replied “ask me if I care” so I never bought another drink and was so upset at the way she spoke to a paying customer we left 3 songs into the concert we had tickets for will never go back
