I went here for a group meeting and I will admit that although I watch PBR, I had never been to a PBR bar before. Mechanical Bull you say? Yes please!
I ordered a Corona (with Grenadine and a lime. Try it!) and the Chicken Tenders. The tenders were nothing to rave about. The staff was super friendly but the bartender put my change in front of the stranger next to me. I'd call that a lack of attention on his part, but I wasn't upset as I (thankfully) noticed it.
At the beginning of the night is an acoustic band and country-line dancing and towards the middle/end it really comes to life! They had a great selection of present day music and it takes on a great club feel.
Ladies: The bathrooms are huge and relatively clean. Later in the night, they also have the typical selection of mints, mouthwash, body spray, etc. (You're welcome)
Gentlemen: There is a bar, stripper pole, and pool tables on the second floor. (You're also very welcome)
I can't wait to come here again. FYI: Happy hour is 4:00pm-8:00pm.
2 words:
MECHANICAL BULL.
Ok, in all seriousness, this spot was very different for a NoVa/DC person like myself. From the music to decor, the ambiance was very cowboy/southern friendly. One side of the wall which divides the bar from the patio, comes up like a garage door, allowing smokers to waltz in and out conveniently. Towards the center of the first floor, people gathered around the dance floor to line dance. Cute.
There was no cover but that may be because my friend knew people and had hookups. Not sure how much or if there is cover.
But again, ... MECHANICAL BULL!!!
It was so much fun. Most of my friends were close by to watch but one friend said I was on PBR's circuit tv around the bar and they were able to watch me from afar. Good thing I didn't fly off like the rest of the girls. I wanna go back to try it again!
Good mixed crowd. Would definitely visit again if I'm in town.
The marketing director, Danielle, is a sweetheart. She accommodated my work group for an After Work Party and she made it happen. Kudos to her for doing a great job.
The variety of music they played was alright; I like when the DJ takes over and have a little bit of everything for everyone.
The atmosphere is nice, loud, fun to watch other people. Very spacious, you can go outside on the deck to lounge and smoke or head up to the 2nd floor to play some pool tables or dance on their dance pole. :)
One tip for this place would be to have better security; you never know who can bring a weapon in and if something turns about then there's not much a bouncer can do. When you have high feelings, liquor/booze, smokes, hot women/men etc...it's the perfect place for a storm. Thank God, the moments I have gone, nothing major but it would give me a peace of mind, if I knew they had better security.
Food/Drinks are great, reasonable; I always show up for happy hour so I get my few good drinks in for 1/2 the price. :)
There were a couple of people that are regulars and even though they can be a crowd pleaser, it gets old. There's a guy and gal who seems to know all of the dance moves so this is great if you are wanting to learn how to line dance; but when you try to incorporate line dancing into something like "We Found Love" by Rihanna, you are taking it too far...very cheesy lol :)
There is another regular, older lady with long blonde hair; she use to teach line dancing, she goes around dancing with a partner; I think she looks great, but she tends to not like it when it gets crowded on the dance floor; she purposely (as she was dancing 2 steps with her partner) bumped into people to give herself room; the look on her face, it was one of an annoyed dancer who couldnt get her dance-on because the place gets packed; my suggestion to her is...chill out, relax and enjoy what you can, you dont have to dominate the entire dance floor to have a good time. *winks*
Overall, the place is fun to hang out; great for ladies night out, after work parties and social gatherings. Parking lot gets full and the party doesnt really get started till closer to 10. :)
First off let me say I am not a fan of country music. Â Or of the drunk people thinking they are all real cowboys. Â The drinks were not horribly over priced. But they also not cheap. The eye candy was very very good and the bartenders that I dealt with were friendly, attentive and seemed like they enjoyed their job. Â The music was a bit on the loud side but what can ya do. Â One thing that was strange was a bouncer came up and told me I could take my pocket knife to the car or have him take it and check it at the front. Â Now alright if there was a no knife policy fine but have some one up front with a wand checking every one as they come in. Â Don't pick and choose who you approach. Â Bad business in my opinion. Either way it was a good time. Â And the hype girls in the chaps... Best part of the night I think!
Review Source:I kinda feel bad for the people who got kicked out by bouncers :(
I had a great time! I went with a girlfriend of mine . Our bartender Lonny was very sweet. I ended up seeing him both the times we were out ( sat and sunday night). Good customer service and they have tons of beers on tap. Our waitresses have also been very sweet. Â The bouncers- they definitely looked like no-nonsese big harley riding dudes who could knock a 200 lb guy out by spitting on 'em. But BOTH the days i was there, no fights, no nonsense and no knock outs.
The drinks we were made were mediocre strong and not too expensive ( my wine was 6$, mixed drink was $7)
Sat and Sunday night there was a rock band- really fun! I also love the fact that there are two different parts to PBR- one playing rock and the other playing clubby pop/ rock music. Also, i always appreciate open space for smokers :) 3$ cover wasnt too horrible for memorial weekend.
Overall, i cant wait to return :)
If I could give this place 0 stars, I would. What a joke. As the dd, I was out with my boyfriend and his friends. We were enjoying ourselves until out of nowhere, the bouncers came up and kicked out our friend. He had been drinking, but only what he had been served at the establishment. We were at the picnic table talking when the incident happened. Completely uncalled for and out of nowhere. Don't waste your money.
