I traveled from 2 hours away with my best friend to see the emo pop punk cover band Loudernow.The service was great but I was charged two different prices for my drinks by two different bartenders and it was frustrating.. I realize it was busy but one bartender too often skipped over other ppl that were there waiting longer..Someone knocked my almost full drink out of my hand and the bartender made me an extra one at no cost so that was nice!

This will be five stars if you want to wait in line or hang with the greasy college kids.

Because your staff is heavily racist and known for racial profiling. I use to go your bat when it first opened and always had nothing but entrance issues due to my ethnicity where as when I went with my white friends, they all got in just fine but me. You would think after your bar was vandalized during the pandemic that you'd get the hint but clearly after reading these new comments I see that you have not.

Worst service ever. Genuinely I would’ve tried to add 0 stars but I couldn’t figure it out. 80 custom shots but it would take someone 17 years to acquire if you wanted to get all of them. I would try something else. 0/10 never again.

Bouncers are soulless and don't care about machines stealing customer's money. Only care about looking as tough as the wood that's probably in place of their brain.

Visited a friend there on game day weekend and was impressed by the atmosphere but not the service. The dj, who was in a wheelchair, went on the microphone and made a huge scene to an innocent male who was just looking to charge his phone near the band set up. The dj loudly stopped the music and called out the man who was most definitely sober for charging his phone and carried on by saying he had a bad haircut and needed to be escorted out. This was 100% not necessary. The poor male was extremely embarrassed for doing something that didn’t harm a soul. For someone speaking in a wheelchair, he should have very much considered how it feels to be bullied for no reason at all. The respect was not there.

No sweatpants allowed? Since when. Rude to customers. Never going back.

This bar loves preying on underage females. You should see the bar on Tuesday night when they have karaoke, it is all underage women who they hope will keep all of the creepy older men happy. Along with that, they will lie about having a strict “no sweatpants policy” when they let guys come in wearing sweatpants but when girls come in they lie and say it’s against their policy.
Same issues as the other low reviews. Drinks are ok, but not worth the effort for some high and mighty "saloon". Go to any of the other places here, there are enough better places worth spending money.

The service at whiskey jacks saloon is absurd and comes off as racist. I was told off and called slurs for wearing joggers and being told I could not enter with sweatpants which I was not wearing. After me and my group left it was audible that they were saying racial and derogatory slurs to me and my group of acquaintances. The other complaint I have is seeing high schoolers and underage drinkers in the bar I could identify them as underage as they go to school with my nieces and nephews at Madison east high school.

Cal is the best bartender ever. She has been hustling all day for her customers and she is legit the best. Even after the manager gives her grief, she is still smiling and serving her customers!!!! Thank you, Cal! I know we had the largest bar bill ever and we tipped the highest for that girl, so I truly hope the owner and manager understand how good they have it!!!!

Awesome live music and big bar that can accommodate a lot of people
