Racist staff, poor service and terribly made drinks. Honestly just a terrible experience I didn't need. Felt uncomfortable from the moment I walked in and they let know I wasn't welcomed by they're attitudes towards me vs other customers. read more

I love downtown Harrisburg, I go out downtown about every other month. Second street is awesome, and loaded with fun bars to try out. There always seems to be something new downtown. But as for the Bourbon Street Saloon, it seems to be a staple of downtown Harrisburg and has been there since I've been 21. They've had a few changes, they've moved the middle bar to the back. I think this was smart- as it creates a bigger dancing space. The staff here is pretty friendly, and you don't have to wait more than five minutes to get a drink. The drinks are cheap! I've ordered 3 shots for $7.50, and alot of the beers are only $2. You can't beat that. The bathrooms here are the WORST. They are tiny and always over crowded, with the location of them- there is never anywhere good for a line. I would suggest walking to Molly's which is right next door to use their bathrooms. This bar is also very smokey. I am not a fan of indoor smoking. You will leave smelling like a chain smoker. I'm not sure why more of the smokers don't smoke outside, as the area right outside the bar is pretty nice. There is a decent amount of seating, and twinkle lights are all over the place. It can get pretty crowded out front. Bourbon Street is a great place for a night of drinking. I suggest you stop by if you are in the downtown area after 10 PM. read more

Bourbon Street Saloon - Great place to celebrate a 21st - Sports Bars Near Me - Harrisburg, Pennsylvania

Would give 3.5 stars if able. In theory, this bar is a really cool set up and could be pretty awesome. They have really good unique drinks and shots (my favorite was the blue jolly rancher shot) and they have a bunch of games set up all over the bar. One thing I was unaware of is that smoking is allowed inside, so within seconds, all you smell is cigarettes and walking out of there, that smell stuck to our clothes and in our hair. The games were really awesome but it was not very inclusive of how to be able to play. People would claim the tables for hours and was difficult to make our way in to be able to play. The bartenders were insanely friendly and genuinely made really good drinks and made them quickly. They were also extremely affordable and decently strong. The service here is 5/5 starts and would highly recommend coming here if you are looking to try some new and exciting drinks. The second you walk up to the bar, you are served which is extremely nice as some bars take a while. All in all, I would come back here, but the smoking inside with no separate area to do so is definitely a turn off as well as the unorganized and cliquey nature of the game areas (hard for the owner to control, and not their fault). Had a good time with friends and is definitely a unique bar when visiting Harrisburg. read more

I don't recall having alcohol here since I always end up stopping by on bike trips, but the service was great and the people were friendly. My most recent trip was on a Friday night. The place was packed but I got in, charged my bike battery, and got a Redbull for $2 thanks to their special! (They're usually around $10 at other bars nearby). The music was fantastic and I set out for Middletown in high spirits. read more

Fun place but the DJ played songs we listened to in middle school the whole night. And no Taylor Swift. ..

Rounding up to 4 stars from a true 3.5 score. This place is a dump, a proud dump that serves cheap drinks and allows you to smoke and smell like a bar when you leave. The bathrooms are disgusting, the crowds can be obnoxious, and it gets loud and smoky. But that's just the local charm of this watering hole, I suppose. I drink here for the $4 Leinenkugels and when they have the $3 you call it specials. Can't go wrong with that! Pool table, attractive barmaids and cheap drinks push this joint to a more favorable review score. read more

I came on a Sunday night it wasn't that bad parent gets very packed on the weekends I thought our bartender was very nice but the girl I was with wasn't fond of her at all and I couldn't figure out why I had a jukebox in the Playing the Spanish music and I kept changing it to DMX and naughty by nature I don't know whether Spanish music was coming from it is driving me crazy I ordered this grasshopper type shot Something like a ugly Girl Scout or something and it was a cream De mente I didn't taste alcohol Never thought I'd like the shot of crown royal in red bull cause I hate both but that was delicious. Not bad read more

I totally expected not to like this place. From the outside, it gave off that vibe of "douchey college bar filled with barely 21 year olds". But inside, it was actually a lot of fun. There were guys and gals there of all ages. I suggest getting there a bit early (like around 7-8pm) on a Saturday to enjoy some drinks and conversation with your friends or significant other before it gets rowdy. Then, from 9-11pm, it's $2.75 you call it's, so do a couple shots and start dancing and people watching. The music was ok. It was mainly current music, with a sprinkling of some of those 80's rock songs that everyone sings along to (Don't Stop Believin' :P) and those line dance songs you always hear at a wedding (Cha Cha Slide :P). You may want to save your wee for another spot though. The bathroom and its stalls are tiny. PS smoking is allowed in this bar. read more

Bourbon Street Saloon - $2.50 Green Bud Light drafts all day for St Paddy's Day - Sports Bars Near Me - Harrisburg, Pennsylvania

This is my favorite bar in Harrisburg. This is a large bar where people go to have fun. There's no particular crowd here. Pros: It's big Fun crowd Dancing No credit card minimum Party music Beer pong tables Shuffleboard Pool tables Cheap beer Quick service Cons: Leave smelling like smoke Long bathroom lines Sporadic dancers everywhere read more

Very nice Bar we really enjoyed ourselves. The costume party was very nice will definitely return

The bouncer didn't even bother letting me in because I didn't have my passport if you are not a usa citizen and don't have your passport sont even bother coming here, very rude and agreaaive towards foreigners. read more

Texas is the most amazing bartender!!! Went here during the $2.50 you call it tonight and she made sure we never had an empty glass. She also makes the best shots. Recommending the white gummy bear and fruity pebbles shots! She is super quick and served not only us, but the while corner of the bar fast! Also, she gorgeous!!!!!!! Will Def be back just for her! read more

Bourbon Street Saloon - Texas making everyone shots before they became full price!! - Sports Bars Near Me - Harrisburg, Pennsylvania

This place was a rip off and homegirl with the purple hair doesn't measure her pours so you pay full price for "top shelf" but only getting 1 oz. There's also a mandatory food order that she doesn't tell you about until she's done making your drinks. She forced us to buy their awful tacos that were beef - no other option... perfect for two vegetarians. She mentioned that if we didn't order food that we had to sit outside (as it was raining...) which makes no sense. How are you making us order food with drink purchase inside but we don't need to if we are on the street for authorities to see? This place will be reported. What a waste of time, tacos, and money. read more

The worst experience I've had in Harrisburg. I don't mind the dirty atmosphere, and such, but what I'm about to tell below could cause some real issues for other people. So after ordering my drink, a very drunk guy who can barely stand up keeps repeatedly shoving me. So I moved over. As I move over, he keeps bumping into me, stepping all over my feet and forcing me out of my spot at the bar, to a point where I couldn't reach the drink where I set it down. I tapped him on the shoulder to let him know he keeps stepping on my shoes, and that I can't reach my beer - he says if I touch him again he's going to "f*&k me up". I flagged down a bouncer - tell him the story, in the meantime the intoxicated guy orders another beer (isn't it illegal to serve drinks to someone visually intoxicated?) high-fives the bartender, and then the bouncer tells us both to separate. I tell the bouncer, I'm not looking to fight this guy - he's the one being aggressive. Meanwhile the drunk man is now saying "you're a pu$$y and I am going to f*&k you up the a$$". I ask the bouncer if he's going to keep this guy in the bar. His response was that if I didn't go somewhere else in the bar we're all getting thrown out. I voluntarily left. Awful. That place sounds like a lawsuit waiting to happen. read more

Bourbon Street advertises 2$ drafts all day every day. Alas, I guess you get what you pay for. While you may be able to drink cheaply at Bourbon Street the atmosphere is lacking. I guess if your scene is square dancing around barrels of hay in this redneck inspired bar - it's a good time. Other than that - come for a few cheap drinks and get your buzz on then vacate to a more promising venue. read more

I'm from the DMV, where the cheapest you will find a beer is $5 during happy hour and you're not allowed to smoke indoors. Therefore, I am a fan of any place that has $2 Blue Moon, all day. I don't even smoke but fuck smoking bans. Nobody goes to bars because it's a healthy atmosphere so people may as well be allowed to smoke indoors. PA has the right idea. The bathrooms were tiny though. That would probably suck on a crowded night. read more

This place is going down hill. There used to be drink specials, but after COVID those are gone. Coors Light served in a CAN is now $4. Reallz not worth it! read more

Went here for drinks on a Saturday night. Slow service, but cheap drinks. Smoking is allowed inside, and I may be biased since I don't smoke, but that made the atmosphere pretty bad. read more

Delicious strong drinks, although they are a little pricey. Service was good and the atmosphere is fun. Most of the staff was super nice. Lots of stuff to do there and good music read more

Only food they served was TV dinners for $20. Bartender was very personable. Shots were extremely stingy but the price of $10 each was not. read more

More of a 3.5.. this bar is spacious and has great specials. It loses points for allowing smoking (a lot of bars in the area seem to allow this) and for some of the clientele it attracts. A wide mix of different people were there, but some of them just made us feel uncomfortable. We actually saw a man rolling a blunt under the bar like it was no biggie. It got pretty crowded by 11pm in a Saturday so we relocated. read more

Great place to enjoy drinks with friends Monday - Sunday but they should definitely open up the bottom floor for nights like cinco de mayo to accommodate all the patrons!!! Servers are good only able to handle a certain amount of people. read more

Ordered a "long island ice tea" ....Horrible!!! Tasted like juice with soda water. Won't be back.

I don't go out to drink often, I don't even drink often, so when I do I don't like getting all that intoxicated. That being said the pros of bourbon are as follows"Friday night wasn't all that busy, and they gave me chips so I didn't have to buy food" the cons on the other hand ruin all of that "I spent six dollars on 1/3 to 1/4 of a shot of whiskey, alot of rapey vibes from the dudes in there, and everyone was smoking cigarettes inside which is gross, even when I was a smoker I never condoned that." Don't buy shots from the purple haired girl read more

This place is everything I want in a bar. Cheap beer and drinks. Tried the "Trashcan" (not the dirty Trashcan), as per a tip from a Yelper. Totally digging it. Also the background conversations are worth the stay. And you can smoke/vape/e-cig in the bar which is cool. Where I'm from (Brooklyn, New York Shitty), you'll never find a bar where a beer costs $2.50. If you need a cheap bar to hit up and are in the 2nd Street area, stop on in! (And don't forget to ask for a "Trashcan". Or "Dirty Trashcan", whatever. I'm not judging. Neither is the bartender)! read more

So far...LOVE this place! In the midst of all the insanity of the Downtown Harrisburg PA Bar scene I find this gem! Nice atmosphere, great service (tell Jenn I said HI!) and excellent Beer specials! Stop by, you won't regret it! Next trip I'll try and review some eats! read more

Bourbon Street Saloon - Drinking a $2 Magic Hat #9, what more do you need to know? - Sports Bars Near Me - Harrisburg, Pennsylvania

This is a bar that opens at 4. Bad service! There was a hair on my husbands glass of beer, so he asked for a new one. She took it back, wiped it off and brought back the same beer. When he asked for a NEW beer she said the hair wasn't inside. We said we were done, she took the card, ran it, and threw the receipt on the table. Oh well, NO TIP for her!!! Her name was Jennifer!!! read more

great crowd. never had the food though. Great night out place. Beer pong tables, pool tables, juke box. Draft beers $2-$3 Bottles $3 and Mixed drinks about $5. Can be very smokey, especially on the weekends, Staff is personable, bathrooms are typical. read more

This place is just perfect to go get a round of cheap drinks at. I have the banana blow job shot! It was very tasty. They definitely know how to make their shots! The place is kinda gross on the inside and could use a good cleaning as your feet stick to the floor. The bar tender was very nice and service was attentive. I would only recommend going here for cheap drinks. It is not a dating atmosphere or really a dancing atmosphere either. I live close to here and on weekends it can get very packed so beware of what time you are going. Overall a good experience just nothing to really be amazed over. They also allow smoking inside and do not serve food. Their outdoor patio in the summer is great if you want to hang out outside. The bathrooms are so tiny- I'm not sure how there is a huge line every time I go! read more

The beer here always tastes off. Not the sure why, maybe dirty lines? This place wants to be a college bar but it doesn't seem to work. Specials are OK but drinks are watered down. There are better bars in the city. read more

Great bar with great specials!! Always a fun time with the staff they are fantastic! Being in the center of downtown you never know who you will run into. read more

This place was such a dive and somehow I ended up here two nights in a row during the three days I was in town. However, the drinks are cheap and once you take a few shots you don't really notice the creepy alcoholic man sitting at the bar watching all the girls dance and asking them to buy him drinks. Or the flies in the bathroom and throughout the bar. So if you're looking for a cheap place for drinks to get wasted in Harrisburg, this is definitely the spot. read more

Not a bad place to grab a drink and play some pool. It's smokey which sucks, but the bartenders are good looking and fun and the drinks are cheap. Not a lot of TV's and not a crazy club atmosphere, but it was fine on a Tuesday evening. read more

Wasn't overly impressed. Service was slow and it was extremely loud. To the point it was tough to have conversation. I can see where some people might enjoy this place, but it just isn't for me. read more

Unexpectedly surprised. Good music. Bartender very nice. Came from out of town looking for a chill bar on a Sunday night and found it. And cheap drinks! read more

Eh, not the best place but decent drink prices and a pretty good beer selection. Music was mediocre and so was the crowd.

Cheap drinks and friendly people. Had an awesome time.... Paying for the hangover today... We randomly went there while bar hopping for an bachelorette party, great night filled of awesome memories! read more

Interesting?! Bartenders, uuhhmm not sure. Some times they are really nice, other times just unhappy! Cheap drinks, cheap girls, I got it college bar...... read more

Stopped in for a drink before dinner. The place had great drink prices but didn't care for the smoking the allowed. They had the front windows open so it wasn't too bad, but I can't imagine spending much time there if they were closed. The bartender was super nice and attractive, so she had a lot of attention from the male clientele. read more

Wednesday nights here are great because of the $3 You Call It option. You can smoke in here, which was a turn off, but the drinks are fine and cheap. I'm pretty sure the bar is open 24/7 which is another plus. read more
