They need to properly train their door people. The idiot working last night thought that my ID was fake and then continued to bend and fold it and now it is permanently bent. I'm 24.... Had to show my health insurance card to get in. Talk about a loser with a power trip. read more

You Know Uno - a person holding a knife in a car - Restaurants Near Me - Fayetteville, Arkansas

I have been here several times. Love the Karaoke, but they have the WORST bar tenders ever. People waited 15 to 20 minutes to get a drink, while the bar tenders had no care in the world. They were more interested in flirting with girls and cleaning up. I think they forget who the customer is. The two young kids behind the bar had major attitude and no respect for people trying to bring them business. I am sure that is not what the owner is hoping for - pushing away parents with discretionary income who can afford and are there to buy drinks, tip and help grow the business. Very disappointed- we went and a great time down the street. read more

Before I begin this review I want to say You know Uno is quite possibly the best bar in Fayetteville. The environment is unmatched and while the drinks are pricey it is worth the experience. However, the downstairs bar is run by a rude egocentric d-bag. Now I usually would not give a rats tail, but the average time it takes to get a drink is 30 minutes. During the 30 minutes I have no choice but to watch the bartender stare at himself in the mirror, hit his vape & yell at customers. The bar upstairs is pretty slow as well but is run by a very kind woman who knows how to be a decent human being and bartend. I understand when it is busy that it will take awhile to get a drink, I'm fine with that. I'm sure Mr. Shmedium is a nice guy once you get to know him but he comes across as a super villain when in the line of duty. Recommendations: Get two bartenders downstairs so I don't have to verbally harassed by super sick frat man. Anyways, I will be seeing you know uno again on Saturday. read more

I really wanted to give Uno a better rating because on previous visits I had a great time singing and the atmosphere was perfect! Unfortunately the last two occasions I went there were some issues. On the first occasion about 2 weeks ago the bouncer glanced at my ID for a second and deemed it a fake ID (it is not) and refused to give it back. After trying to explain myself and asking for it back the bouncer bent my ID in half. She did eventually give me the ID back, but only after it was bent and I had asked multiple times and the cops had been called. The second issue occurred this past weekend when the bouncer again questioned my now bent drivers license (I'm not from Arkansas so I cannot easily get a new ID). I told her that my ID was bent because she bent herself the last time I was there. I was let in, but my friend in line behind me had a similar interaction (she is from my same state) and the bouncer bent her ID in half before deciding it was a real ID. I have spoken to the manager and have even gotten police involved. I really enjoy this establishment but if the employees continue to destroy our state issued IDs I don't feel inclined to give them any business. They have no scanners, no questions were asked to prove the IDs legitimacy, it was an immediate "Nope this is fake." read more

You Know Uno - a picture of a fake id - Restaurants Near Me - Fayetteville, Arkansas

Had the worst experience there with a very aggressive female bouncer with anger issues. She was bending the drivers license of my daughter's friend, leaving it permanently creased, it was a real TN license, not a fake ID, so I simply said "Why are you bending that? It is ruined now" and she actually got in my face and yelled at me, saying I could leave, did I have a problem and then literally asked me if I wanted to step outside with her???? I am a fat 51 year old woman!! I was not some unruly 19 year drunk frat boy with a fake ID! My husband stepped in and said "Why are you yelling at my wife?" and then she yelled at him asking him "Are you a bouncer? Do you know how to check for a fake ID?" In any case, there were 10 of us (ALL OVER 21 YEARS OLD!) my husband and I clearly old and were willing to spend a lot of $$ for drinks and tips, but left to go to Infusion instead giving them our business as their bouncers were polite and efficient, and clearly knew the diffference between a real driver's license and a fake ID. She really should be fired as she is driving customers away!!! read more

Staff is....rude... uncouth and sleazy at best. A bunch of hipsters who don't really want to deal with people. I enjoy karaoke a lot, however going to this establishment was the worst experience not only of a karaoke bar but just an bar in general. I don't drink and because I don't I noticed how hatful they are to their customers. I can't believe they have customers at all with the inhumane and degrading way they treat people let alone repeat customers. I was shocked by the hair pin reactions of bartenders and other staff towards paying customers! read more

Terrible Bouncers that will take/damage your ID if you're not from a familiar state. A group of friends and I tried to go here last night but their female bouncer had a power trip. She took my girlfriends Alabama license and refused to give it back. We had to call the cops and she handed it over to them and acted like it wasn't a big deal. When the cops confirmed she was over 21 we were given the ID back and it was permanently bent. We were never even given an apology from this "bouncer". read more

Absolutely horrible. Service is terrible, bouncers are incompetent and aggressive, and the wait for karaoke is HOURS. If you want to get your drivers license bent nearly in half and ruined by bouncers trying to get compensation for confiscating fake IDs, by all means come here. Several of my friends over 21 years old have ruined IDs from this bar. Do not go. read more

The bar itself was pretty good, no complaints. However, if you're not a regular and want to sing - be prepared to wait. The bouncer stepped away from the door to sing 3 times and 3 gents (I'm assuming friends) sang 2-3x before anyone in my group was called. This was even with giving a tip when requesting songs. Typically with Karaoke bars, singers are repeated only if no one new has signed up. It is not the case here. Honestly, you could be the best singer in the world, but at karaoke - no one wants to hear you sing three times in a row. Just have fun then let the next guy up. read more

You see these reviews from businesses? Obvious conflict of interest. Place is run far better than it used be. Amazing strides to breathe new life in a dying industry. Just don't get mad when they won't serve your drunk ass. read more

Coming from a person who has been to this establishment 50-60 times over the last 10 years I would consider myself and expert on this place. I go because the area has little options for karaoke and there is a wealth of other bars on Dickson street. First the good. At least at the time of this writing the bar tenders have been there for a while and are good people. The song selection is good and they have wireless mikes. The bad. This bar is smoky,very smoky. Don't go here unless you want to help them filter the air by breathing. The seating isn't very good and hasn't been updates in at least as long as I have been going. But the worst part is the djs or hosts who will basically only allow you to sing if you tip. And dont get me wrong I do tip quite often but most recently when I was here they were asking for 10-20 bucks for a song. Then even during crowded times they will still sing themselves and the owner just allows this to happen. I have to say I have stopped coming here even though I have spent multiple birthdays here and have been a regular attendy for a decade. It's not worth it anymore. read more

I just had the absolute worst experience in my beloved downtown Fayetteville. I was with a few girlfriends tonight watching a concert downtown. After leaving the show, we decided to hit up the karaoke bar. I frequent Infusion, but my girlfriends wanted to go to You Know Uno. One of my friends was breast feeding and chose not to drink. She was the only one in our group that put her name on the list to sing a song. She ended up putting money in the tip jar at the karaoke stand. The karaoke guy then told her she was number 9 on the list. We then waited for what seemed like forever for her name to be called. We watched several people sing multiple times and still her name wasn't called. Tired and frustrated, I finally decided to go ask the karaoke guy when my friend would have her turn. He then told me she had to buy a drink to be able to sing. I reminded him that she put money in his tip jar and he informed me that tips didn't matter, and that she couldn't sing unless she purchased a drink. We told him that she was breastfeeding and was only drinking water. He had no sympathy. We were obviously livid for waiting for so long and decided to leave. As we were leaving, I complained to the door attendant. He specifically told me to "stop my bit(hing" and that my friend should've purchased something other than water. I am shocked and disappointed that this is the way one of our businesses in downtown Fayetteville has chosen to conduct business. I will never darken the doorstep of Uno again. I feel so bad for my breastfeeding friend that she had to go through this terrible experience. If you're looking for a great place that makes everyone feel welcome, go to Infusion. Do not go to this place. read more

This is an amazing karaoke bar! Not sure how anyone could have a bad experience here! The staff is super friendly and helpful!

Have been multiple times where songs were played in whatever order they choose even for paying customers.

Same songs are played within the hour. I complained to the bar tender and he stormed off, without another word, to speak to the dj, I assume he's heard this several times before. I asked to sing 3hrs before I walked out of this bar. A big bro group (about 10-15 men & zero women) walked in and about 2 guys sang 4 songs before I asked when I was up and the DJ's only response was, "it helps when you tip." The redeeming factors are the phenomenal bartenders- they deserve all 5 stars. If Karaoeke is your game, go to the next bar where you will have the chance. read more

For Karaoke or just a place to hang out with friends this place is great. I've been frequenting Uno's for 6-7 years and it's always lots of fun. There is always a good mix of different types of folks who come in and I think that has helped it not to become a "trendy" night club but rather a place for locals to come, relax, and meet new friendly people. read more

I love this place. Everyone that works there is super nice from the kj to the bartender. It is always good to tip but i have never"had" to, to sing. It is always a lot of fun to go there, with a fun atmosphere. It can be smokey but so can most of the bars on dickson street. read more

Would not recommend! The DJ is AWFUL! Also playing your song for karaoke is a popularity contest.

Worst service I have ever seen!!! High priced and terrible employees. Never go to this place. The bartenders messed up every order, and purposely over charged my tab. STAY AWAY!!! read more

Always had exceptional and attentive service here. It's not too busy, there is room to dance when you're feeling rowdy, even stairs to traverse while singing, and I've never ever had to tip a KJ to sing a song. They do all of their songs in the order that they are put in, so people singing multiple songs isn't really a problem they're creating, maybe just don't clap for the ones you don't want to hear again? I love that it's one of the few places where you can still smoke, saves us from having to stand in the cold constantly, and if you don't like it, the bar next door is smoke free. read more

Will P. and Matt H. I don't know what your problems are or what you did that night to make you have a bad experience, but I have gone there about a dozen times over the years and have never had to give a tip to the DJ to be able to sing ever. I don't know if you are from a competitor Karaoke place or what but what you are say is BS, complete BS. I have had a great time every visit, may I suggest you a different Karaoke place in the future and do some comparing. Sorry, I do not usually leave YELP Reviews ever, but I just couldn't leave this one alone. read more

Why don't you list a working phone number? A jacket was left at your establishment September 12. Numerous people have been calling trying to pick up the jacket. The phone is never answered, off hours or business hours. Please respond. Kathyark@msn.com read more

Great place for drinks and karaoke. In regard to Matt H., the DJ takes all karaoke requests, but there is usually a long list. They go in order received. read more
