Nice country place. Clean, fair pricing compared to the surrounding bars. However they lack customer service with their bartenders. Takes forever to get drinks.

Loved the atmosphere! Live music was good and the bartenders were all great especially Diana she was amazing!

The only place i know where you can order a beer AND a shot at the same time! Awesome bartenders and a fun friendly atmosphere.

Very fun if the bartender isn't singing karaoke instead of serving drinks, like... C'mon man you're at work!

I will not be going back until the back bartender is gone. I have never encountered such a rude, hateful person. My friends and I walked in to have a good time and right away the bartender was super rude. He had alot of negative comments to make towards me for no reason. If you are a racist grump, you think bartending is the job for you? Please do better.

Love running over to mama tried after work for a few drinks!Staff is great and drinks are good too!I couldn't decide what I wanted to drink, so my bartender surprised me with the "cookie monster" So yummmy!! You have to try it!

Cool spot under the radar to shoot pool. Needs more staff.

This place has super sketchy billin practices. I got a beer and she swiped my card and didn't tell me I had a tab open. Something told me to ask about it before I left and she said it was open. Based on other reviews here, they are clearly doing this to rip people off.

I have given this place 3 tries over several months. Each time has been awful. I really like the atmosphere, so I kept coming back, hoping that things would improve. It has gotten progressively worse.The last time that I was here we waited at an empty bar for 15 minutes, and there were no bartenders in sight. We left and took our business to another bar. This lack of bartenders seems like a big security issue, since alcohol and registers are left unattended for long periods of time. I personally watched several other patrons walk out, because no one took the order for their first drink. I have watched patrons walk out frustrated at my last two visits.This time we went and managed to order one drink quickly, but that was the last time our bartender paid us any attention. To be fair to her, the bar is massively understaffed and she seemed to have to wear all the hats, while another employee sat at the bar drinking. After an entire 30 minutes of waiting to order a beer I had to walk to the other bar, and waited a few minutes longer there. I asked this other bartender to get me a blue moon and close out the check. She brought us a check, but no beer. I was completely frustrated at this, but did not want to take the staffing issues out on her, so I paid my check and left. I feel like I have completely wasted the only free evening that I get on this place. I will never come back, and will warn people to avoid this place at all costs. I am bitter that I wasted my hard earned money and sparse free time at this bar. The rest of the bars in the toyota music factory is so much better. I am surprised that a bar like this is allowed to operate here.

Super fun venue. Was there on a hopping Friday night with the Brody Caster band. Great music, great atmosphere. What a honkey tonk should be.
