Bar was clean. I went for a wrestling event. It was pretty fun and chaotic. I'd go again for the event but not to hang out at the bar.

The food is decent for bar food. The drinks can also run more expensive than you'd expect for a place with a name like Honky Tonk and there are definitely times when they feel understaffed. But the service is usually pretty good and I have met some of the best people here.I started coming for the karaoke on Wednesday nights (they have it at 8 pm most weeks from Tuesday - Thursday), but I've also come to enjoy the line dancing and dance lessons most weeks on Wednesday and Thursday from about 5:30 - 8:00 (when karaoke starts up).This place is my cheers! ???

Having just moved here 7 months ago. My friend and I thought we would support the local Lady's Night event at Honky Tonk Bar & Grill. Being Hispanic and having read some negative reviews about the place we were a little hesitant to go, but went anyway. The bartenders were nice and we were served quickly. The event brought in a nice crowd so we found a table, sat down and waited to order food. We were eager to find a new place and enjoy the event and dinner. The waitress "Alisha", passed by our table numerous times without ever acknowledging us. While we understood that it was busy we were fine waiting our turn. After 20 minutes of being ignored we realized that she was never coming to our table. While she was handing one of the vendors a drink she quickly passed by our table again and I was able to get in a very rushed 2 second message of "when you get a chance, we're ready to order" before we were quickly dismissed. We sat and watched her take the orders of other people who arrived after us. We were there an hour and never got service other than the 2 drinks we ordered upon arriving. My friend asked the bartender the name of the server and conveyed our experience with her. We then observed them talk to her and saw her smirk, shrug it off or however you want to put it. Our money is green just like everyone else's. I don't intend to make this review about the entire bar because of one person's actions or lack thereof... but it really does leave a sour taste in my mouth. Very disappointing and will not be back.

Well it's clearly labeled a honky tonk bar.. which actually means Honky (white people) Tonk (Storage) so it pretty much fulfills the name! If you are offended by cowboy hats or keith urban pictures this is not the place for you! It's a nice place, people are friendly and the service staff are super nice. I bought my wife a vodka cranberry that's was incredibly reasonable priced and had enough booze in it to start an airplane. I'm an alcoholic with violent tendencies so I had a coke and no one got stabbed for bumoing into me. Total win. They feature line dancing, which being from California I assumed meant cocaine, nope. They also have karaoke which usually means drunk Japanese people singing, again.. nope. My waitness was super nice, the food came fast and is designed to clog your arteries on contact which in my case is a plus. We had a large party and everything went smoothly. Looked like a great place if you like county music, dancing in next little rows or getting dead drunk for less than 30 bucks. Would I go for any of these reasons? Oh hell no, but it's a great place to hold events or entertain an office full of people. There are well maintained pool tables, a smoking patio, and a casino machine thing in a separate room if you feel like donating money to the state of oregon. I just pay my parking tickets late instead. Less risk.

This is our 2nd time bringing our Salem Kayak Club here. And this time we brought our annual Ugly Sweater/White elephant game here. Because, simply there was lots of space to work with and chairs. Was nervous being both line dancing and karaoke night. But it worked out great, and our club members dance, sing, drink, eat and lots of laughter! The places was amazing decorated with Xmas lights and decorations. Which made our experience and taking photos that much more amazing! I appreciate the service, they went out of their way to save the back tables for our group. Much much appreciated!! Food and drinks are great!! Definitely be back again before our kayak season starts! Thanks again!
This is a new go-to spot with my family and friends. The atmosphere is always fun with good music, pool tables, and other games. I love how clean it is inside and the food is great. The potato skins are a must! Definitely will be back!

Great place, friendly staff, top notch burgers and fries. New owners have added a large selection of Top Shelf Whiskey at competitive prices, and even have Whiskey Wednesday with a hard to find whiskey at a discounted price.
