The drinks are okay but there's one bartender who is very rude. Music is good for line dancing

We went in for a girls' night in anticipation of line dancing classes. The lady was out of town, so there were no classes. The place itself is average but fun. The bartenders are not overly friendly. They do, however, make delicious drinks. The pricing is extremely fair. These souvenir cups are cheap, and you can bring it back every time you go for discounted refills. They have two flavors of the Long Island that you can get in this cup. read more

I came tonight for a Taylor swift dance party with my two little sisters. I ordered water from a bartender. I saw her tap was messing up on pouring me a water she handed me a bottle. She told me I was being charged for every cup of water for the night and it was the same as a bottle of water. and I had to pay for the bottle. I clearly saw her handle was messed up and I feel like she was finessing me by convincing me that every CUP is charged the same as a bottle? The bar charges for tap water in a cup? In what world, or bar, do they charge for cups of water? Anyways it was bizarre. I didn't get a itemized tab. I paid the piper. Just how bizarre to be charged for water in a cup? Weird. Maybe illegal. read more

This place sucks and do not go. I went to line dance with my friend (who I've been HS friends with for years, she is the best) and this was nothing but uneventful. I was told I was going to be taught to line dance, next thing you know some beautiful women are line dancing, and these others are looking to kick me out of the bar. I did nothing wrong, and the stuck-up jock bouncers think they're the coolest thing since sliced bread, grabbing my neck and dragging me out of the bar for no reason. Just to mention, the bouncers #1 girl was his niece, which he kicked out before me. read more

Avid line dancers review: Age group is late 20s to early 40s. Really nice you don't have a bunch of drunk young people crowding the floor. Crowd is pretty chill, not very hyped. Wasn't very busy when I got there at 11:30pm. Busiest part of the night was between 11:45pm-1:15am. Dress code is strict for the men, but given the area its needed to keep up the country vibes and not get lost in an urban crowd. Fashion for women is pretty casual. Not a lot of sexy skimpy clothing you'd find in a younger crowd. More t-shirts, denim shorts and Hey Dudes. There is some line dancing here, but mostly basic, easy level dances that an experienced dancer could pick up quickly. They did the electric slide for 7 straight songs to give you an idea. Not a lot of partner dancing. Good dance floor. The music was more like club music when I first arrived until the DJ left the booth and changed over to a traditional country playlist for 40 minutes which was my favorite part of the night. They did have a second room that was more of a night club room so I wish they'd have played more country in the line dancing room. Bartenders were helpful and quick, but security was a bit aggressive and demanding while patting down guests with a metal detector. $10 cover at door. Overall decent stop while passing through town. I'd recommend it for 2 hours tops, but not a destination you'd want to spend your whole night at. read more

Wild Gregs Saloon - Dress code - Bars Near Me - Lakeland, Florida

Very rude employees!!! (Girl in the entrance) we asked her a simple question when we were paying to get in and she told us to go to the back of the line very rudely and we asked why and she said we can leave. Horrible experience during our bachelorette party. read more

The bar itself is ok, but the dance floor is small and there are way too many kids between 18-20 there. It would be ok if they offered 18 and up like that on Wednesday night, but Thursday through Saturday should only be 21 and up. With the young crowd, it drives away a lot of customers over 21 and makes the bar too crowded and unenjoyable. read more

Line dancing was fun. Will say if you don't like drama leave earlier rather than later.

On a Saturday night when the place is mostly empty with a pretty decent band playing that evening should tell you a lot. The staff was nice but the clientele was a bit sketchy. read more

We are from Texas so dance halls and nightclubs are always Easy to find but this place although a "chain nightclub " Who Claims to be Western Class is by far the truth. First of All there was a line around the block to get into this DUMPSTER of a club . The Patrons were fun to watch looked like They all crawled out of Sons of Anarchy and from a Snoop Dogg Video. They do have Security Guards who pat you down, My Friend and I got in no problem but they definitely Harassed my husband, who was dressed like a true gentleman he joked about the tip bucket with the host and she was not laughing. Actually she was a total Bitch didn't want to serve him his band & the rest of the staff agreed with her, they kicked my husband out after he paid $15 and said he was rude. So he had to leave these people who work there obviously have there heads up there no sense of humor or common sense I did walk around and used there facilities in the women's bathroom there were terds floating around in most of the toilets the Worst music & trolls hang around this place . Just do your self a favor and don't be fooled by the line of idiots waiting to twark in this Shit box read more

Not the biggest fan of this place. They have an ridiculous dress code, no plain white t shirts, tank tops, beanies, etc. Place is unorganized and staff wasn't the friendliest. I did like the line dancing but the floor was usually empty. This place doesn't live up to the hype at all. Also they said no cover charge for anyone of age on Saturday but its a $10 entry fee in cash (have that ready) so mark that for false advertising and definitely wasn't worth the charge. All in all, it's meh. I won't be coming back. read more

Very fun line dancing bar that replaced boots n buckles. The place is huge but doesn't get super busy. Mainly townies and college students go here but everyone is pretty friendly. It's fun to learn the line dance moves and someone is almost always willing to teach. There are two sides of the building, one side is line dancing the other side is a smaller area where they play hip-hop and rap. They have special events like bands and stuff on different nights. Their fb page had the info. The bartenders are super nice and they have tones of special during the week on drinks. The actually have ladies who sit in the bathroom and sell things like perfume, tampons/pads and even candy which is pretty cool and classy. They also have a bull that's $5 to see how long you can ride (pretty popular) Very casually place though. You could go and sit and have a drink. It's 18 and up but don't worry about being hassled by the young ones, it's the older townies you gotta look out for lol. Come dressed somewhat down! And if you've got boots, definitely bring em! read more

Shout out to bitchy bartender that purposely ignored us trying to get drink refills for over 10 minutes during the last 10 minutes of the special on Friday night. If you're not "VIP" aka in one of these people's cliques you won't get served. We arrived at the bar at 11:50 to get one more drink before the special ended at midnight. She served everyone around us and tons of people who walked up after us laughing and talking with all of them as apparently she knew them. We stood patiently as to not be those disrespectful people who yell and shake empty cups to get servers/bartenders attention. Finally after getting upset for being ignored for 10 minutes I called her attention and asked for drinks to which she ignorantly replied "they're not free anymore." It WAS 12:01 at this point but I said but we've been standing here for 10 minutes while you ignored us and like a bitchy robot she again said "they're not free anymore." We just walked out after that. I used to recommend this place to everyone looking for line dancing but never again. We paid $30 for a tiny ass warm skunky beer and one mixed drink that was more ice than liquid because we weren't in ol stick up the ass' clique. We've been to several events here but won't be back. Also shout out to the bouncers who blew smoke when we asked to see a manager. Top notch "service" Run the camera back and you'll see I'm telling the truth. Matter of fact, check the 2 star rating. read more

First time there and had a blast, love the music and experience!! Def coming back soon!

Where can I start haha. This place is a joke. DJ doesn't request songs. The dance floor is always empty. This place would be popping if people were able to request good songs that everyone likes. If you like line dancing don't bother coming here. Places in California do better haha and I hate Cali. ONLY GREAT FOR DRINKING AND SOCIALIZING. That's about it. Left early but maybe it got better read more

Terrible disgusting place the bouncers don't care unless your having sex with them. I'm a 22 year old girl and they grabbed me by my neck to escort me out after having a girl push me around. Wouldn't recommend to anyone. read more

Went to see Creed Fisher and was very impressed by the staff, drink prices and the acoustics. I will be back for more concerts,like Colt Ford, coming soon. The security team was friendly and they were visible and no issues. Keep up the good work, nice dance floor too. read more

My first experience here wasn't to great I got kicked out avoiding the rules so it was understandable even though I believe the situation could have been handled differently. But I went a month ago from today and had a blast with a few of my friends. I would definitely recommend for anybody into country music and for my people who love dancing & having a good time. read more

We went to this place for the first and last time Saturday. It is a total dump. The bartender we had was extremely rude, she even yelled and used the F word to my husband. We went to see a concert at this venue. That is the only reason we were there. It wasn't very busy, I guess the locals know what it's like. I think there a lot of other places in the area that would be much better for a night out. Don't waste your time or money at this establishment!!! read more

The bar staff is great. But they promote themselves as 1/2 country bar, 1/2 hip-hop bar. The hip-hop side is all hip-hop, great for people who enjoy hip-hop music. However, the country side is about 7/8 hip-hop, and maybe a dash of pop country occasionally. Visiting from Texas, I was really hoping to find a place to enjoy country music in the area. The fun part was watching the drunks leave and all the fights that result. read more

Nice place good employees friendly bar, but wont let vet mc group in with there cuts on....... this is the group that never causes problems. I can see other mcs not aloud in but not our heros who just want to drink and have a good time. Outside of that drinks are reasonably priced and a fun place to go to. read more

Not sure they even play country music. They didn't when we were there. Free line dancing lessons were fun. Good drink specials.

The owner Greg would denied me access because I had my US Military Vets vest on. So there's that. Garbage place anyway, trouble and lots of underage kids acting obnoxious. This 3 time combat vet will stay away. read more

I would rather go to the Dallas Bull. More bars bigger drink selections. Two floors better parking. Friendly staff bigger dance floor much better music. Smoke room more pool tables and valet parking. Great drink specials. read more

Wild Greg's has been a decent spot for college students for the past few years but recent new hires has brought the place down. The worker at the front desk does not know the difference between a real and fake ID. The bouncers are respectful but cannot take constructive criticism. I would not waste my time or money with this place. read more

I have never experienced racism like this! Went here for an uncle kracker concert and bought a hotel and was really excited for it until we got to the venue. We had been waiting through the opening acts and once the headliner was about to start we all, as a crowd, moved forward as most shows do. That's when things got hostile and rude. A person in front of me and my friend (who is a person of color) elbowed her in the face! Then, security came up and asked my friend to leave!! They seem to gang up on her and act hostile to her because of her color ( she was the only person of color in that entire area). They said they had received complaints about her, but we had literally been standing in that area for less than 40 seconds. Even people around us came up to us after saying they had never seen anything like that and that was 100% because of her color. I have never felt so marginalized and I welcomed. Shame on them and their security. We will never return and let our friends know they should never attend this place. read more
