I agree with Tony K. Â Never again.
Stopped in on Memorial Day evening, about 6:30pm, with two friends of mine (we're all between the ages of 44 and 58). Â Decided to have a beer and some food, as we really had nothing else going on. Â Had the sliders, the eggplant and an Italian Beef between the three of us. Â While the food is decent and the beer tasted fresh and clean from the tapper, I will not be returning, even though it's two minutes from my house.
I stepped outside for a smoke with my buddy just in time to see a group of people standing around a guy whose shirt was being pulled over his head by another dude who was beating him in the face with his other hand. Â When I exclaimed "What the F***, guys?", they stopped, but I was informed that I should just "walk away". Â I reported this to the bartendress, and the bouncers were made aware of the altercation, but guess who was in the bar not five minutes later shooting pool and drinking a beer? Â Mr. Tough-Guy.
This was the third time I've been in the place since it opened, and every time I have seen an abundance of patrons being over-served.
Also, while our bartendress was fairly attentive to our drinks, she obviously wasn't thrilled to be waiting on old farts like us.
Typical pick-up joint for twenty-somethings. Â Unless you like bar fights and overserved idiots, stay away.
Ok. It has been a year and a half since my first review of this place and it is not good for them. To say that this place has gone downhill is insulting to hills. I used to like the 'vibe' of the place; lively, fun and friendly. Not so much anymore.
First it just started getting LOUD. They turn up the PA so freakin loud after about 6pm that you have to shout at the person sitting next to you. Next they have switched from glass beer and drink glasses to plastic!! EEEEKKKKK!! Not cool. I understand that it is cheaper and you don't break as many plastic cups, but maybe there would be less breakage if you turned down the music and kept out the idiots!
Oh ya, I forget to mention the idiots. This place has become over-run with 'em. I can only imagine what a bar on the Jersey Shore would be like, but I could imagine it being similar to this. It is getting seriously dopey in there. After a few hours in there you can actually feel your IQ dropping from being around these dipsh*ts.
Finally, the staff. It used to be that the servers were all young, attractive and friendly. They are still young and attractive but friendly they are not. Unless you are a beefed up dude with hair product and a hat size larger than their IQ, you don't exist. I know I am in my 40's. I don't need to be looked down upon by them because of it. Hell, I can afford to tip them. The Beefcakes can't even figure out 15% with their smartphones. (Not that they tip anyway. Just being seen around them is tip enough I guess.)
Now I understand that a business needs to make money, but if they continue on in this path, they will not be around in a year. Police activity has risen. Clientele is getting worse. And the neighborhood is likely to revolt. Not a good mixture for prolonged success.
So in conclusion, stay away from Mad Dog's unless you want to live out your Jersey Shore fantasies. I know I will and plan to try to avoid this mess of a bar from now on.
Like water street in greenfield. Shoot me now. Â
Maybe I shouldn't be so harsh - but it just ain't my venue. Â Security guards are everywhere to control the 40-somethings who think they're 20-somethings. Â They serve your drinks in glass-like plastic cups and I can only imagine because the 40-somethings get so drunk they can't keep their drink on the table.
Oh and there's a stripper pole. Â
Never, again.
Big fan of bawdiness. Â This bar offers up plenty in the form of scantily-clad servers and the "fireman's" pole (see: camouflaged stripper pole). Â I dig it though. Â The silliness is part of the fun. Â The place offers not only great people-watching and debauchery, but it also serves up some super nachos. Â I love nachos! I would have them as my last meal on earth, and Mad Dog has some yummy ones. Â The chips are crispy and toppings aplenty. Â In addition, their quesadillas are quite tasty, with an honorable mention going to the mozzarella sticks. Â You may not first think to bring your family here, but it is certainly a place to hang with friends and enjoy some bar eats that surpass the usual.
Review Source:Hmmm....what can I say about Mad Dog Saloon? Â Well....I have to echo Jake N's first paragraph about the 21 year old me digging this place. Â But, can add that my father is also a fan. Â (That I don't quite get, unless he is reliving the 21 year old him)
Its a sports bar, with a lot of tv's, average bar food, waitresses in tiny shorts and tight tshirts, and lots of Bros. Â
They do have Strongbow on tap, which is why when my father says he wants to go to Mad Dog Saloon for Father's Day dinner I don't complain. Â
It is also fairly dark and loud, but again, it's a sports bar.
I have been meaning to check out some of the bands on country night. Â I'll update my review once I get back for that. Â Maybe a bar full of cowboys will be more my scene.
Great spot to entertain your'e guest, plenty of things to keep you entertained.
The people who work there are very freindly. Love the bouncers very cool guys to get to know. I like there food the service is A+ all the way a round great owners besides. They know how to run this place well.
Perhaps if I was 21 years old, or like hanging around with them, I might be more into this place. 21 year old me would have liked it. You know, the one that drank cheap beer regularly, didn't know what a well made cocktail was, and wasn't afraid to empty his bank account for a good time..
Here you pay too much for the beer but mixed drinks are ok. On Thursday it's $4 captain and coke talls. However, it tastes like a tall single, aka not such a good value as it may appear. I'm also somewhat convinced that the chicks that work here may very well work at a strip club the owners also run. Which is kind of nice. Â Service is pretty awful and slow. Â Security is overdone, but with the amount of testosterone in that bar I'm kind of glad it's there. There are a lot of nice HD TV's and I've watched a couple of Packer games here. It is good for that at least.
So overall, I don't really care for it. It's too pricey, it isn't my age group anymore, and it reminds me of what an idiot I was back when I was 21. I'd rather spend my money elsewhere.
I like this place, it is what it is. Â Good TV size/location for sports viewing. Â Ok (not great) bar food. Â Effective, if not spectacular service.
Burgers are pretty tasty, toppings better than the meat itself. Â Nachos come disassembled with the toppings all on the side and are okay. Â
Pizza, which is a $5 special on Mondays...not so great...a frozen run of the mill snooze fest.
Beer is cold. Â $5 pitcher special on Mondays.
Staff dresses as if they are way hotter than they really are. Â Effective if not super pleasant.
Great for a ballgame, not for a date.
I am giving this 4 stars on atmosphere. Â I have been playing softball for Mad Dog's for 2 years now, and after our games we go in and always have a good time with the very attractive wait staff. Â The drinks are good and the food is decent. Â There is plenty to do in Mad Dog as well, pool tables, darts, very cool arcade style games, and a fun stipper pole to climb on your birthday.
Review Source:We walked in on a week night and the place was busy, maybe 75% full. Â So the wait staff was somewhat busy. Â My husband asked if they had any import on tab and the waitress started the list with Blue Moon, Sam Adams...where my husband interrupted her and said he was wondering about imports. Â She rolled her eyes and started the same spiel over. (He meant imported from farther away than another state.)
We ordered an appetizer, mozzarella sticks and then the waitress brought complimentary popcorn. At first, I thought if I knew about the popcorn beforehand, I might not have ordered the appetizer. But one mouthful of popcorn made me change my mind. It was old and stale.
The appetizer was just ok but not bad. I ordered the grilled chicken salad and my husband got the reuben. Â The salad was full of good greens but the chicken did not have a pleasant taste. It was served in a basket lined with waxed paper and once the dressing coated the lettuce, it also soaked through the paper liner so when I got a fork full of salad, I was also eating the paper. Â The reuben was pretty tasteless, nothing exciting.
Between the mundane food and below average service, there is no reason to ever go back here. There are too many good alternatives around town.
