Extremely loud live band on the night I went (can be a plus or a minus depending on your point view) The biggest feature, of course, are the swings. No kidding! Huge porch swings, decorated with garlands of plastic flowers. They're a little challenging to get in and out of (do they function as a drunk trap for over-served patrons?) It's definitely a unique and memorable aspect to this place.

Was not a huge fan of this place. Upon entry, I had low expectations, but I still thought I'd get…read moresome decent drinks. As I sat at the bar, I watched drinks being made and immediately decided I'd be ordering a beer. There wasn't much of a selection to choose from, but that was the safest option for me.

The Warehouse is truly built like a warehouse! This place is huge and uber spacious with TV's,…read moregames, and a small stage for live band performances. I first saw this spot while going to the Klassy Glass Wine Bar next door. I knew that I had to check it out before I left the area. When I walked in, I was really in awe of how spacious it was inside! This would be the perfect space for a dance floor. There's a small stage to your right that's used for the live bands that perform. The bar is lit up in blue and there are two large TV's that hang from the ceiling. There are several other TV's hanging on the back wall too, maybe about 10 TV's total? It's a great place to watch sports for sure. The warehouse feeling is very eminent with the sky high ceilings and industrial looking interior. In the back, you'll find a couple of different games. I can't recall all of them, but I'm pretty sure I saw a pool table back there. The bartenders are really friendly and interactive. Although this has been pegged as a "new bar", it seemed to have many regulars there who knew the bar crew (probably from the previous bar that was here called Muddle). The other people at the bar were really friendly also. I actually ended up meeting a few peeps there that I ended up going to Austin's a few doors down with. Although the crew and other patrons were cool, this place was super dead on a Saturday night! The rodeo and town fair were going on that weekend, but I still couldn't believe how empty this place was. As far as the drinks go, they are dirt cheap! My bill was under $10 that night! I had a cranberry vodka and a Stella Artois. The cranberry Vodka was a little too sweet for me, and I couldn't taste any vodka in my glass at all. This was kind of a disappointment. I was happy to pay a cheap price but not so thrilled that there was barely any alcohol. Overall, it's a solid option for cheap drinks and to watch sports. Maybe things will pick up a few months from now.

We started with two of their beers (mine was a lighter variety and my husband's was an amber). For lunch we both ordered the Nashville Hot Chicken sandwich that came with fries. We both liked the sandwiches. The breading wasn't too much and the amount of sauce was enough to give it good flavor and not overwhelming. We're a bit intrigued by the planned expansion for this place in 2025. It sounds like it will have indoor and outdoor seating and games for entertainment. We look forward to checking it out when we come through Waco again.

The vibe was really nice, especially with the purple lighting that gave the whole rooftop a cool, laid-back atmosphere. I made it just in time for last call, which felt like perfect timing to grab one last drink and take in the night air. I ordered a Dusty Road. It had a nice tart kick to it, which I liked, but I honestly didn't taste much of the honey. A little more honey probably would have balanced the bitterness better. That said, it was still a really good drink and definitely hit the spot after a full day out. Overall, Lucky Buck's was a great stop to end the evening--good atmosphere, nice rooftop setting, and a chill way to close out the night. If you're in Waco and looking for somewhere to wind down with a drink and a view, it's definitely worth checking out.

Some of their speciality lattes (like the Remember Me one fall) have been so delicious that I've braved the trek downtown, searching for a parking spot in the middle of my workday, just to get one as an afternoon pick-me-up. I also love the 1885 drink, which is Dr Pepper + espresso. It sounds crazy, but a Waco girl loves it. I will say, ever since the inside was re-painted as a weird, tentacle-esque, purple and orange mural, the ambiance has tanked. It used to feel like a peaceful, vibey spot, especially at night or during the holidays. Now the walls make my skin crawl a bit. Maybe some people love it--I usually hear the opposite But it's still worth going for the drinks!

What I really like about Trojan over Scruffy's is that they play consistently good hits in the 2000s Hip Hop, contemporary Pop and Hip Hop genres, and have alcohol at a very competitive price, in my opinion. Last night, I saw people literally dancing on each other (but there really ain't no space to dance). The bouncer and bartenders are cool too, and the place is clean. TL; DR: come to Trojan's if you like great hip hop and pop, amazing drinks at fantastic prices, and service that is nice. The place looks cool too. Definitely comin' back.
