In my past experience the venue opened early, so there was a fairly short line to get in and then a longer wait inside, seated and comfortable. Last year was the first time for me (although now I realize from other comments that it has happened in previous years, so maybe it depends on the show?) where they didn't open the doors until right before show time, so the outside wait-time and the line to get in were outrageous - like probably 2000+ people long. Throw in a handful of line-minding apparatchiks fecklessly trying to keep the snaking queue shape in its snaking shape in order to make sure the people at the back definitely had to walk as far as possible, which could not have been less necessary or more absurd. On top of that, and on top of other things that have been banned, rolling and hard-sided coolers have now been banned. Definitely no longer worth it. Still some great acts though.

Love the beef brisket! They've got a bunch of amazing…read moresauces. The only downside is that they don't have multiples that you can pull from the sauce area to bring to your table... I don't think it would cost much to make this happen and they'd probably save a lot on sauce cost because when I came here with my B-friend's family, for Father's Day. Everybody poured ketchup, bbq & Worcestershire and that spicy white stuff & probably some sauces I'm forgetting about, that all ended up in the trash, mostly. I think it would behoove them to get the little squeeze bottles so that people can squeeze as they go and not just fill up little buckets of sauce and throw them right into the trash after dipping once. I don't think he would even need to have enough sauces for every table... Just a handful. People are pretty levelheaded, and I believe this would not be hard to save a lot of wasted sauce and product cost loss. Leaving five stars because the meats are phenomenal. I'm not gonna do a star just because the sauce situation is awkward. Had a great time! I used to love coming here when Gwen worked here... The drink selections are great! Atmosphere is phenomenal. Great seating outside with a big stage. Plenty of space for children to run around and play. I will definitely continue to come back. I have high hopes for the sauce situation to be slightly altered to avoid loss/waste. Hopefully someday soon.

They take a few bucks off the top but go around town and promote your show as much as possible in Creston and surrounding areas. When you go there it has a great cozy listening room feel, with couches and the place is retro but in a good way. This isn't a dining establishment but they have a great pizza place at the bottom of the street and they don't mind if you bring food in. It's a great place to check out great touring bands and locals. Hopefully this place stays open forever. I'd be forever saddened if it ever closed.

The atmosphere is usually pretty good but there are some pros and cons…read more Pro: never had any issues with the staff they were always nice and respectful and most of the people that we have ran into have been respectful with country manners. Pro: has dance floor and live music. Pro: has a variety of seating Pro : has some games billiards, life-size Jenga , hunting Safari game , and I think a few others. Pro : more than one place to order a drink Pro and Con if you go on a Friday or Saturday it's usually packed. Con : parking can be an issue especially in the winter the long walk in the cold if you get there late. Con: even though this place has a nice atmosphere the sound level is more like that of a bump and grind club. It's so loud we were literally yelling at each other to communicate. Very bad for somebody with sensory issues highly recommend earplugs, usually that will drown out the background noise but you could hear each other talk still with ear plugs. I think it would really benefit the business for them to adjust this to put the majority of the sound at the front of the stage so if people want louder music they can move towards it. Was very difficult to have a conversation with anyone ,and if you're dancing with someone and teaching them it's very difficult for them to hear you and makes the dancing less fun and more of a fumble. Con: The dance floor is kind of awkward, they have support beams in the middle of the dance floor. And then they have picnic style tables on both sides of the dance floor it doesn't really make sense to me. Maybe they arranged that way because of Covid and just left it. But when you're dancing if you go too far to either side you're suddenly running into somebody's table and usually that's because you're trying to move out of the way because there's so many people on the dance floor. Again I think it would make more sense if they would remove the tables from both sides open up that dance floor so more people will want to come and dance. It's hard to get someone who is shy about dancing to go on a dance floor when they're worried about getting ran over or bumped into constantly. And when there's a bunch of people that are under the influence this can quickly lead to an issue . Con: The air quality could be better with the amount of people that are usually crammed in there it can feel a bit warm and stuffy at times. Con: There is a cover charge ,but I have never been there on night where they were cutting off the amount of people inside.Instead of that there would be no seating and you'd have to stand whole time . Con: I don't think they have anybody managing the bathrooms it gets messy in there quick. Con: I wish they had some appetizing food and an atmosphere that would allow some conversation while eating. Food would help balance out alcohol intake and probably make it little safer for those who can't handle their alcohol.Would also be good for people with blood sugar issues so they don't have to leave the fun just to eat. Con: People take your table if you get up to dance or go to the bar , we've had our drinks knocked over and broken and we were only up from our table about few minutes to go close our tab at the bar. Again I think this is due to the imbalance of people over seating and the alcohol intake it versus the food in a persons stomach ,after a few hours some of these people are just gone lol . Overall this is still the best live music bar with a dance floor I have ever been to and very much appreciate the country vibes. But I think they would greatly benefit from re-strategizing their seating towards the entrance of the building and opening up the Dance floor more and adding volume control. I don't think anybody that works a full day wants to go fight for a seat or a space on the dance floor and then have to scream at their friends just to communicate lol or at least me and my girls don't . We will be back but definitely hope they make some improvements in the meantime.

The other, they drew X's on both of her hands and didn't explain to her why. She tried to wipe one of the X's off not understanding what it was for and several staff member immediately ganged up on her and told her she had to leave and grabbed her arm. I walked with her to the exit door and we explained that my husband went to find her boyfriend so we needed to wait for them to come to the front. One of the female staff members - curly, blonde hair, 5'2"- didn't get her name, was extremely rude when my friend asked if she could use the restroom before they kicked her out, the staff member said "No you can get out and go pee outside. I don't give a shit what you do once you're out these doors." So my friend said okay and walked outside went around the side of the building and did exactly that. The staff proceeded to take photos of her peeing and wouldn't show us the photos when we asked to see them. They were claiming they didn't take them until she was done. But refused to show us all the photos only showing us one that was taken afterward but our friend said they absolutely did take photos of her while peeing and she kept asking then to stop and tried to cover herself. They do not care at all about people's well being or ability to get home safely. My other friend luckily found a ride home safely but they did not bother to notify us or let her come back to the table to pick up her belongings. We called her to see if she was okay and found out that way! I wouldn't recommend this place to my worst enemy! Don't go here! They're horrible.

Mojo the Party Band This review is long overdue. We hired…read moreMojo for our wedding in September of 2018. They were better than great. They did a phenomenal job. Not only did they create an amazing party atmosphere, but Joe the band leader, met with us ahead of time to go over every detail of our musical requests. They learned a special request song that was outside of their normal repertoire and even customized some of the lyrics for us. We were very impressed by this. Toward the later part of the reception they shifted to karaoke and included our guests in the entertainment. Even a year later, folks are still commenting on how much fun they had. Mojo Party Band went above and beyond and were an integral part of our dream wedding. We cannot recommend them highly enough! Joe and Wendy

Working with Joey G before the wedding was easy and fun. He is a true professional, and we felt confident in trusting them to put on a great show. He visited our venue beforehand to plan their set-up, which turned out perfectly. On our wedding day, they were SO. MUCH. FUN. Joey reads the crowd amazingly - they did a perfect job DJing cocktail hour, MC'ing our formalities, and most importantly, turning the night into a dance party! We got married outside near the summer solistice, and I wasn't sure if our guests would be excited to dance while it was still light outside - but Joey G and his band really brought the party. We had a lot of singers among our friends, and so we discussed beforehand that our friends might like live-band karaoke it the mood was right - and it was a SMASH HIT among our friends and family. We will never forget our friends, our aunts and uncles, our nieces and nephews, our parents - all getting up and singing with the band at our wedding. It was hilarious and everybody was so into it. Joey really created the party at our wedding, and we're so grateful. The band sounded amazing - and is a big, multi-piece, professional outfit! They are the full experience, and they are world-class. We live on the East Coast, and we truly don't think we could have found a better band in the whole country. We are so lucky to have them in Spokane. We love you, Mojo!!
