    They do not play enough Taylor Swift. The music acts are ok. Drinks are ok. It's almost always crowded. The local DJs are great. Probably don't get paid enough.

    These guys were phenomenal

    Now, I'm not from anywhere near the South, so I'm not sure if this is a "normal" bar.....we certainly don't have anything like this in the Bay Area, or in Haifa. First of all the place is HUGE. It's easily over 10,000 square feet, and they pack it. The $5.00 cover isn't really a deterrent, as people just keep flooding in as the night goes on. Drinks aren't too expensive, and there are plenty of bartenders. The front portion of this place was manned by a live country music band. They cover all the most popular country music songs, and the crowd really gets into it. I'm sure it's pretty played out around these parts, but we were pretty excited to hear a rendition of Sweet Home Alabama while actually in Alabama. We were wondering why people kept coming in and out of a door toward the far end of the bar. Was this the bathroom area? Nope. How about a massive dance floor with a full-on rap concert by a band that I swear could rival the black eyed peas. They went on for hours, and the place was going crazy. The energy level was probably elevated by the fact that Auburn had a home game the next day. Nonetheless, thanks for a great experience.

    Cheap college drinks. Absolutely packed though. But that's not a bad thing when you're in school

    Was in town for a football game and we stopped here as it was close to the stadium and seemed like a solid choice.

One gentleman defecated all over the sinks in the bathroom and cleaned it up with his bare hands! Nearing the end of the evening (2:30 am) a rather large young lady tried seducing me. It was the highlight of my month. The staff was super friendly!

    I was going to start this review by saying that nostalgia can't help everything when it comes to a…read moreplace from my past. I was originally going to say that nostalgia should take you back to your youth without having to deal with the youth that are now frequenting this college watering hole. But I decided when it comes to 17-16, I can't find anything else wrong with it besides having to deal with college students. But you know what, when you have a great "college bar", you really shouldn't expect anything different. Therefore I will let nostalgia from the bar I loved in college negate any of those negative thoughts. Although, I'm sure our group stuck out like the old alums that still hit the bars when they are in town. What makes this bar a great college bar? First of all, the bar runs on both sides and there are always plenty of bartenders. Making it very easy to get a drink. Not to mention college town prices are AMAZING. Also because of this wrap around bar concept, it keeps people flowing in a "lap walking" form. So even though it gets crowded, it doesn't feel that claustrophobic. There is also an outside area in the back. So if you want to get out of the crowded bar, this is usually pretty wide open. Would I frequent 17-16 if it were in my hometown? Probably not. But when I do my once in a blue moon visits and know what I'm getting in to, I can't think of another late night bar in the loveliest village on the plains.

    Sadly, this was a disappointing experience from start to finish. The restaurant was super…read moreunderstaffed, there were plenty of tables open but all needing to be bussed. We could not even put our names in. We went to get drinks while waiting, which took an inordinate amount of time. We finally sat, but needed to place our dinner order at the bar. Because of this, the staff wandered around from table to table with food as it came out...which for us was over an hour and with 1/2 hour between some of our meals. The bathroom was filthy with a PLUNGER on the counter next to the sink and no toilet paper. I notified the hostess twice about the tp, but she was unconcerned. Two of our meals were forgotten and even later than the rest. The one bright spot was that when we asked for a specific game to be turned on, we were accommodated. But we will not be back. The staff seemed unconcerned with the poor service.

    Unfortunately like the other people who reviewed before me, this restaurant/bar is UNBELIEVABLE!…read more -we checked the website before going on a Monday to see drink special and the menu - Servers are clueless, completely unaware of alcohol choices and such. Second, my girlfriend ordered a pizza and got something completely different after the bartender made her repeat is 3 times. Lastly, food was sub-par.. over salty, sandwich in a puddle of liquid, Incorrect order. Amateur overall, across the board.. wish I could say different, so close to the house

    Gorgeous place! The staff is incredible…read more We all loved our meals. They use fresh farm to table ingredients and you can really taste it. We had the oysters... yum. Fried green tomatoes- wasn't the biggest fan of pimento cheese, but if that's your thing I'm sure it would have been delicious. I had the strawberry / spinach salad. It was decent but a little too much dressing on parts and a bit dry in others. The biscuits were a star of the other meal. Sadly, no lattes... the only other bummer was that the waiter forgot my cocktail. He apologized when I asked for it... I know accidents happen

    The water has an earthy, funky flavor that is somewhat concerning. Nobody got ill. But I consider…read moreoffering people gross water a little inhospitable. I believe it effected some of the flavors of foods that were boiled in it, too. Gnocchi had some of the same off flavor. In addition, some of the flavors just feel way out of whack for totally unrelated reasons. Sauce that the duck came in was thin and overwhelmed by honey. The risotto it was served with seems like it should be rich and homey. But despite a crazy amount of added dairy still tasted thin and flat. Can't tell you why. Wonky seasoning? None of the dishes reflected any familiarity with acid to lighten or balance a dish. Fried green tomatoes were pretty mid despite a quality remoulade and a bunch of pimento cheese. Ingredients seem like they're decent quality. Desserts are legitimately top notch. Everyone recommends the peanut butter pie. And it is excellent, though pretty obviously not long out of the freezer. The affogato Is legitimately fantastic. And I'm not even talking about the pageantry of dumping the espresso on the salt ice cream. The combo is legitimately satisfying, like a well-rounded creamy candy. The plates are funky and cool and beautiful. The staff all seem like they're 19, attractive, and gregarious.
