    Okay. Let me just start off with: this is a nice venue for the music/sound system and views with…read moreplenty of space. Supposedly this was a sold out show but it didn't feel too cramped at all. Plenty of bathrooms without lines. They did only have one entrance so there was a huge line there but it seemed to move fast. They have strict security and search any bags. The problem was their bag policy SUCKS. It says the dimensions online but they are very strict on that. It's like the tiniest of wristlets ever. I think a man mad that rule but I guess it's for safety so no can sneak in any weapons. I also really hated their alcohol selection. AWFUL selections -mostly gross beers and only one kind of seltzer- Nutrl Orange. I had a sour stomach the next day. Their food is also outside of the entrance so you have to come out to eat it. Plenty of parking but the lines to leave the lot after the show took at least an hour.

    For starters this is an amazing venue I have been here many many times for multitude of shows and…read moreI've never had a bad time or bad experience. With that said on Friday May 31st 2024 myself and a whole lot of other people as you can see were there to see the one and only Snoop Dogg! Unless you're living under a rock everyone knows who Snoop Dogg is which means that the employees and security also were aware. Which means they were also aware of the crowd that this would bring. It was a beautiful eclectic crowd there were literally toddlers that were being carried with pacifiers in their mouth all the way to people with canes and walkers there... It just shows what a diverse fan base that Snoop has. Again I've been to this venue many many times and have tickets for another major artist 2 months from now and I'm looking forward to it but the way that the amphitheater staff handled this could have been much better and they should have used some forethought because with an artist like Snoop it's going to be a packed house. Again people were waiting in a line of thousands... A sea of people from the front gates of the amphitheater all the way back around the entire campus of the casino almost out to the street well after 7:45. The line finally started to thin around 8:00 p.m. .... Might I add that if you call and listen to any of the announcements or look on the website or on your tickets every single show the gates open at 7:00 the show starts at 8:00. Well the show started on time and there were still at least 500+ people in line if not more. Apparently the staff realized this but not in time because I heard that they opened the gates at 6:30. They should have opened the gates between 5:30 and 6:00 p.m. for that show. They had the staff they were prepared they knew what was happening but they allowed the situation to overwhelm them. The show was amazing except for the fact that for three tickets we paid almost $1,000 and once we finally got into the show not only did they not scan our tickets they didn't scan the people in front of us they didn't scan the people immediately behind us and we ran into people in the show that just wandered in because the way they opened the gates just to get people in... We went to our seats and couldn't get in them because there were people sitting on top of people in our seats and security or amphitheater staff was nowhere to be found. Basically we paid $1,000 to stand in the aisle for over an hour in the rain and get bumped and have drinks spilled on us..... For the record I'm no longer a 20 or 30 something I'm an original Gen X lol which means that as much as I love a good rowdy rootin-tootin good time.... I want to have the option to sit if I want to in between songs and not risk having someone's beverage poured down my shoulders. I would like to say for the record that I reached out to Vivid tickets where we purchased our tickets as well as reached out to hospitality staff at Grand Hinckley casino and hopefully between the two of them they will figure something and rectify The situation before the next big showol, because I know I'm not the only person that experienced this as after the concert I talked to several friends who were looking for me but they couldn't find me because I couldn't get to my seats there were also others who said they just took a chance and walked through the gates as they saw people walking through and not being scanned in which rubs a little salt in the wound because there were people who paid hundreds upwards of thousands of dollars to get into that show and because the staff was so overwhelmed at a certain point around 8:25 they stopped scanning tickets they stopped checking bags they literally just open the doors and it was a free-for-all So while I was halfway enjoying the show that my friends and I paid accumulative $1,000 for there were people who just happened upon the scene that got in for free to see an amazing world-class performance ‍‍ Hindsight is 20/20 and you can't change What happened I just hope that moving forward the amphitheater staff and management at Hinckley understand that when you invite certain artists that have such a vast eclectic fan base that you need to open on time or maybe even a full hour earlier to start letting people get in get their food get their drinks and get situated in their seats so that when the show starts they can stand or sit and enjoy the entirety of the show not be waiting a hundred plus yards outside of the venue and a line full of hundreds of people listening to the show on the sidewalk.

    Excellent food, service, ambiance, and prices - 5 stars!…read more We didn't know what to expect. The 3 of us had pretty low expectations. But our visit was great. In the end, the three of us agreed that we definitely had a 5 star experience. We arrived at opening and we happened to be served by the owner himself - a really nice guy. He gave us a brief history of the bar, which is extensive. The Old Saloon has been around with the current name since 1975 (the building is a lot older). The current owner has been at the helm for 30 years! Obviously, he's knows what he's doing. Our food was excellent...everything from the Ellsworth Cheese Curds, the wings, the salad, the burger, the Chicago style hotdog, and the savory mac & cheese soup! Of course, since this is Wisconsin, they have a great selection of beer on tap. The prices were amazingly reasonable to. We probably would have paid double in the Twin Cities. The décor is cool too. Apparently, the owner's wife is the chief decorator and she does a great job. I particularly love the vintage and antique stuff. They have some very old and rare original neon signs, an old Schwinn Phantom, and an antique penny scale. There are a few reproductions here & there but most of it is totally original. Cool! Thanks for a great experience! Thumbs up! - Maxx

    The Old Saloon is a Gem. Seriously the food is good clean quality food. Simple high quality bar…read morefood that serves creative simple dishes. The beer selection is very thought out and the staff is friendly and inviting. The atmosphere is warm and cozy. Notice the old Brunswick Bar that sets the stage for very cozy feel. Highly recommend this place. I travel a lot and the Old Saloon is always a pleasure to visit with family, friends or just a beer to relax. Most authentic and unique restaurant/Bar in New Richmond. Just stopped by the Old Saloon. Truly the Green Dragon of this Shire. Really what a wonderful place and great food, beer and the staff and owners are gems. Highly recommend The Old Saloon Once again, stopped by the Old Saloon and it was delish. Very warm community pub.
