The red headed DJ is nucking futs. She's too aggressive and emotional. Every time we see her, we leave. Whisky Bottoms is the only place to line dance in about 70 miles, and I don't recommend going when that specific DJ is there. Bartenders and atmosphere are great. read more

This is a fun bar with four pool tables, a dance floor for line dancing, and even a mechanical bull! We went with our 20 + year old son and his friends. Everyone was really nice and the atmosphere was super fun. If you are looking for a party, come here! read more

Whiskey Bottom Saloon - Dive Bars Near Me - Huntsville, Alabama

This restaurant opened recently and has been pretty much slammed every time we drove by. So, we went for an early supper, so we beat the crowd. Lucky for us they have Happy Hour 3-6pm M-F. We sat at the bar. Cindy was very nice and provided prompt service. There are several TV's tuned to sports channels and we had some friendly conversation with others at the bar. Their menu was full of options. So there's something for everyone. My wife got the Nachos appetizer and had it topped with grilled chicken. I got the Chicken Parmesan. The beer was cold and the food was good. The chicken parm did not have any marinara on it. I didn't think about it until I was almost done, so I don't know if that's the way they serve it or they messed up. The crowd began to arrive as we were leaving. Two meals with 2 beers during happy hour was $40 with a good tip. That's pretty reasonable nowadays. read more

Nice place and like that they have security. We had friends from out of town and really enjoyed themselves

Multiple levels so pick your crowd. There was a decent crowd on the bottom floor where the pool tables and mechanical bull were.

The DJ was extremely aggressive and combative when he saw a regular get called out for shoving a woman on the dance floor. He yelled at the woman over the mic and immediately kicked her out of the bar. Didn't care that the regular had put hands on another patron. The bouncer even apologized for him saying he does this a lot. Extremely prejudiced place. Wouldn't recommend. read more

Bar walk up! Ordered 2 drinks a lemon drop and a jack and coke. Was charged $22... didn't notice the double (not requested for the lemon drop) total bill was $22.... The slimy bartender gave himself a $10 tip!!!! Bank account was charged $32!!!Tried calling number to dispute (mailbox was full) called 4 times. Decided to send text (undelivered because it is a landline number) Beware of this place!!! NEVER TO RETURN!!! Will let coworkers know... not to patronize this establishment!!! read more

I went to this bar on my birthday after picking my friend up at the Huntsville airport. It was decently close and the street was filled with people. There were police standing directly outside of the bar so it felt like if I walked out and tripped, I would get arrested for being drunk. As soon as we walk up to the door, the bouncer denies us entry without even checking ID because he says our pants were too baggy. Everyone walking around looked like lil baby in skinny jeans, no one had collared shirts on, slacks or anything decent, we figured we were fine. Yet, there was a list of dress code and rules at every bar on this street. Ghetto and super weird, and I'm from East Los Angeles. read more

Bouncer snapped my ID in half at the door because I'm from out of town, (here for a wedding) then said he didn't snap it in half, proceeded to yell and me and followed me and my friends around the bar. I'm almost 25 years old. Giant bouncer too, pretty scary. read more

Excellent food! Sauces were great. Service was good even though it was late and crowded. Waiting for seat for a group of three was reasonable. Cool eclectic atmosphere. Would go again! read more

Trashy place. Overpriced. They charge you $10 after a long wait in line to then pay $7 for drinks with no alcohol in them in an overcrowded, loud bar with a trashy vibe, and a bad DJ. read more

Bad. We were denied entry because of shorts. When they let a woman in front of go in wearing a tie died t shirt. So awful and backwards. My brain was blown. Won't be returning. read more

This is the most racist place I have ever been in my entire life. I was there on a Saturday night and I was with a black man. During the Macarena, of all dances in 2024, this man was told he was not doing the dance well enough and he was kicked out of the entire establishment. The "DJ" Mickey, called out only black man standing on the dance floor and kicked him out for not knowing the Macarena well enough. First of all, this isn't Coachella 2016, you're 40+ DJing at a college bar get your ego in check. Second of all, he WAS dancing perfectly fine, IT'S THE MACARENA. He is so kind and handled this situation very well but to experience this is absolutely appalling. The security guards even admitted to not understanding the reasoning but they had to do their job (they could've just not but whatever). In short, if you are a person of color I would steer clear, if you care about how people of different races are treated, I would steer clear. read more

I absolutely loved this place! It's a great combination of a country bar with hip hop music that's blared more loudly at around 9:30-10:00PM. The security ID checker was very cordial and extremely professional and asked me very nicely if he could check me just like the TSA agents do. You would think that in this new works obsessed with " safety" that people would welcome this added layer of security and keeping everyone "safe". Not some of the reviewers below who like to wallow in their own self pity and try to blame ask their shortcomings ( including dressing like a bum or like a gang member) on the world I am a combat veteran and have been stationed, trained and fought alongside soldiers and airmen of ALL colors and can assure you this car welcomes patrons will are white, black, brown, yellow, purple and all shades in between. It was a very diverse group and everyone was wearing appropriate clothing and headwear. If they didn't, they would simply house hand to go home or to the store and change - regardless of the color of their skin! I've worked high end and VIP security over the years: myself keeping top performers like Luke Bryan, Miranda Lambert and various ESPN sideline reporters safe, and even worked right alongside Secret service, and can expressly assure you that the bartenders , hosts, security staff and even the cleaning crew are top notch and professional. The music is good ( with the exception of the nasty Carti B song they unfortunately played) , the dance floor is kind is small but lots of people join in and the drinks are good but get there early because later in the night it took me over 10 minutes to get a drink at the bar I just moved here from Arizona and love this place. I'll be coming back a lot. ! Thank you read more

I've been to a quite a good amount of bars and let me tell you this place is horrible. First off, when I go to a bar I am wanting to have fun. I wasn't allowed into the bar because my pants were ripped, granted the rip is a bit promiscuous but nothing different from the tiny shorts that the women wear. Honestly, the man was disgusting and being prejudiced against me for being gay. When I went inside with my friends after changing clothes, it was clear that this establishment was far different from the more upscale ones I had attended. All the employees were rude and didn't seem like they were having fun. The atmosphere was thrown off from their horrendous attitudes. One fun tidbit is that they have a mechanical bull. Their drinks weren't that great as I could barely taste the alcohol. They only accept cash and they have even more dress codes. I came to a bar, not a catholic high school. If you want a place that plays boring music with a decent sized crowd, but not much variety then you found your spot. I am never coming back. It was a waste of my time. read more

the bartender that is usually on the far left closest to the beer pong tables is the worst bartender i've ever experienced in my life. I asked her for drinks 2 times and then after being skipped for another persons orders both times i then asked FOUR MORE TIMES to just close my tab. finally after waiting 10 more minutes after asking her the 4th time to close out she finally brought me my card. I get that bartenders are always at 100 mph all night but the other 3 bartenders are no where near as bad. Nor are any other bartenders i've ever seen. I've seen better service on New Year's eve when the bar is 3 times as packed and busy. read more

One of the few places to have fun in Huntsville. Huntsville doesn't have the best night scene, but you can have fun here and I do every time I go. 25 cent pitchers until 10 on Wednesday and free cover Only $5 cover on weekend nights Smoking allowed indoors You can ride the boar for free every night Mixture of music from country, Latin, rap, top hits, etc. Bar can be slow on weekends, sometimes quicker to go to Fubar upstairs, which is also included in admission Can get super packed on Saturday nights I always have fun when I go and is worth a stop read more

The bartenders are always so friendly. Drinks are reasonable. Music is more of oldies wish they would update it but it's overall great

The bouncers at this place are, for lack of better words, jerks. Two weekends in a row, the same bouncer has ruined my friends night. Just last weekend, I was at the ATM pulling out cash for cover for my friend group. One of the guys was checked in, and waiting for the cash to pay his cover. He leaned back against a pole (did not take a step downstairs) and the bouncer kicked him out. I calmly tried to deescalate the situation, and explain that my friend was waiting for my cash. The bouncer started yelling, kicked both my boyfriend and friend out. I don't really care what WB has to say about this, just wanted to share with others that what was once my favorite HSV bar has quickly turned into the bar that ruins my night. read more

This is our new favorite place to go. We were denied entry to Sammy ts twice while having a black male in our presence. So we went across the street and we found this bar. This is SO MUCH NICER AND CLEANER than Sammy ts. We acknowledged that upon entering. A girl bumped me and I spilled my drink. The security cleaned it up right then and the super sweet bartender made me a new drink on the house. I told them they didnt have to do that. I was beyind pleased and happy to spend my money here. We know now that this is where we will be going from now on for our nights out. read more

Fun spot to go to downtown if you like loud country music. This is a bar that mostly serves for the younger people of Huntsville. It offers a bull you can ride on, pool tables and beer pong! I went on a Wednesday evening, which they had .25 cent pitchers of Bud Light..not bad. The place was packed and mostly a sausage fest, so if you are trying to talk to a girl or two you might want to go somewhere else. The staff seemed snobby which did not surprise me. I came here with a few friends which was a good thing. I might come back here time to time whenever I am downtown. read more

Usually, when I travel to Huntsville Alabama, I always find myself downtown at Whiskey Bottoms, Millers, or some local establishments. I not big on reviews because my family owns several restaurants in Florida such as PF Changs, TGIF, etc. I say that to say I know how emotional customers can be the reason I don't like to write negative reviews! Even when I had a bad experience at Whiskey Bottoms this New Year 2020 after buying a VIP area for New Year Party and I never receiving my champagne, the owner's wife handled the situation with class! BUT, and I use the word "BUT" intentionally after last night, I am very disappointed with the level of customer service that I received at this establishment. One of the security workers at this club wrapped him around my neck in a chokehold. He tugged on my neck as he forced me up a flight of stairs. Pushing me from behind person out of the establishment. No force, on my part, was used against anyone in the club or towards him. I immediately went to the police officers outside to file a report. This type of behavior is uncalled for in any situation. Bouncers do not have the legal right to engage in violence or force as they see fit. I sure hope that the owners review this situation and their protocol. I would hate to know what would have happened if I resisted. Unacceptable by all means! Best, Dr. Vincent M.

I give it one star because I couldn't give zero stars. Question the gimmicks they run. The sign behind the bar clearly says 25 cent bud light pitchers on Thursday night. Tried to order that only to be told "oh we're not doing that tonight", only $1 PBRs. Also they smoke in here so it stinks. Waste of time... read more

Don't lean on the counter when you're trying to pay your cover. They'll claim you're too inebriated to enter the drunken zoo that is their establishment. read more

Hating on transgenders... where's the LGBTQ community when you need them?? But seriously, how do you refuse service by the type of material your clothing is made of? Maybe if you had a dress code statement someone wouldn't stand in line for ten minutes just to be turned away. Piece of advise: take your money where it is appreciated. read more

Neat place. Complete with mechanical boar riding. nice pool tables. younger crowd. Large dance floor. Not so much a country bar, as the name would imply. Played a lot of remix pop and even Cardi B... I don't think I would go back, unless at friends request. Had blue shots in test tubes, that waitresses walk around with.. that made some in my group very sick at their stomach.. avoid the blue shots. read more

This bar is ridiculous. The owner (who is a terrible DJ) kicks any guys who aren't dancing. On top of that, the security guards tackled my friend to the ground, on the outside of the club after being pushed out, for turning around and asking why he was being kicked out. He did nothing wrong and now has to go to work at his Aerospace job with a huge cut on his forehead. read more

We need to take a stand and boycott this establishment. My daughter who is African American, went to this bar with a few of her friends to celebrate one of the friends recent accomplishments. Her friends were a mixture of white and black. While there the DJ( who happens to be the owner) was playing the song Gold Digger by kayne west. During the song he began to sing the lyrics on the mic that says the N word.( you all know what word I am referring to). Some people said no don't say that while others cheered him on yelling this is America. When they left my daughter stopped and expressed her disgust and was told he could say whatever he wants he's the owner! Is this America? Is this what we now stand for? Out right racism with no repercussions? This sickens me! I'm posting on every social media and I'm contacting the NAACP! This must stop! Be a voice!!! I had to check a star to leave a review but I would give no star! read more

Blatantly racist piece of sh*t establishment that turned my black male friend away because "the font on his shirt was too big". His shirt literally said "Dr.Pepper" in standard size. This place should not be in business. We were disgusted. read more

This place is gross first off. Been there a few times and the bar and atmosphere is just nasty. Probably worst bar in Huntsville but the place everyone ends up when they are super drunk at the end of the night. I don't recommend this place to anyone for any reason. read more

This place, along with its other two related establishments (Millers Tavern and Fubar) is a terrible business. I left my debit card there by mistake about a week ago and have called all three establishments countless times to ask about getting it back, but no one will answer. I've now emailed twice, once again with no answer. I also went in and was told that Millers Tavern handles all lost items, so I went there and kindly asked the bartender if they had my card. She was incredibly rude, basically shooing my friend and me out of the bar. As she was looking for my card, I tried to describe what it looked like to ease her search and she snapped at me and implied that I needed to be quiet and was disturbing her search/taking time away from paying customers. I ended up leaving without my card even though I know it's there, because she essentially decided she didn't want to look anymore. So, back to the drawing board I guess. I'm most likely going to have to cancel a card that isn't lost because the employees here are so useless. I work in the service industry and if any of my employees were a fraction as incompetent as the workers of these establishments, they would be jobless in a heartbeat. No wonder it was so empty when I went in...you can get alcohol at any bar, but it's the service that keeps people coming back, and the service here is exactly why I will not be coming back. read more
