Whiskey River Dancehall & Saloon

This is probably not the place for me. I'm in my 30s and asked normal questions and some snobby guy answered 🤮🥱

As someone who has line danced all over California, Texas, and Georgia for the last year, I had high hopes about this place. I have family friends who spoke highly of it. But I can’t in good faith recommend it when there’s so many better ones out there. For starters, the line dance instructor Piper is extremely rude and close minded. She stands in the front the entire time, and then assigns wall leaders instead of walking to different parts of the dance floor while everyone is learning the dance. She even forgot steps and had to go back and teach us. While taking a break, I was showing someone in the back a move she’d demonstrated from the front, and she snapped at us and said “Don’t ask your friends, they don’t know anything, so you need to ask me.” How about you move to the back and show us so I don’t have to do your job for you?? And every 10 minutes she reminded us she was from KFROG. Congrats, you’re a local celeb, want a cookie? If I had to take a shot every time she reminded us she was part of KFROG, I wouldn’t have been able to drive home tonight. Multiple people left the dance floor during her lessons because she was so belittling and berating. She could remember to tell us she works for KFROG, but couldn’t remember what line dances she was playing and repeated 3 dances (Redneck Angel, Take it Off, and Copperhead Road) in a 30 minute span. How about taking some requests, or playing more of a variety? Thank god for the band, because they actually listens to requests and were very engaging. On top of that, the AC is extremely poor and pretty much nonexistent. So pack a fan or prepare to sweat a TON. This place just got remodeled, and I was hoping with other locations closing and this one getting a facelift it would be way better, but it’s a tragedy. The only perk is there’s free self serve water. Oh also, it’s cash only, $5 or $10 depending on what time you get there so pay cash or prepare to pay a stupid ATM fee. Honestly, go somewhere way better like Montanas in San Dimas or Cowboy Country in Long Beach. Don’t spend your time supporting little KFROG girlie Piper.

Would put 0 stars if I could. Piper was one of the worst line dance instructors I've witnessed. She was not able to be seen by much of the dance floor and overly critical of people trying to help her teach when instructions were not being understood in the back. The incessant need to remind everyone that she's from KFrog as if that's somehow relevant was highly unnecessary and frankly annoying.

While I enjoy the line dancing on Thursday nights, they do not turn the A/C on and it's so hot. Most people bring their own fans. I would come more however it's just to hot in there.

Went there for the first time it was advertised as a honky tonk but when the band was playing was the only country they played the rest was rap and hip hop not honky tonk vibe won't come back lost what country honky tonk is

Phenomenal service as well as great music DJ and the pool tables are well kept!

Me and my boyfriend really enjoyed this place when we went for our first time last month! Unfortunately we don’t go as often as we’d like due to him living in California and me living in Idaho. While we loved our time there, getting to dance, and being able to connect with some people who have shared interests, there were some issues I had especially with the dancing. I don’t remember the name of the lady who was teaching the line dances, but I do recall that when it came time to learn “country girl” (song by Luke Bryan), she had told the group of dancers that there was 1 and only right way to do the dance which as a dancer for over 14 years, that’s not true. Some people learn a different way than others and there’s nothing wrong with that. That’s the beauty of dance. I would encourage the company to find someone who’s more encouraging with choreography and not closed off. Other than that, the environment was comforting, the bartenders were patient and accommodating, the security was respectful, and it was an all around great night! I will definitely be going again!!

I started coming to whiskey river about a year ago and my first time there the cook Tanya not only cooked a delicious burger and my wife loved her tacos she delivered our food as well she was so pleasant we would come about every 2 weeks since to get the same order however we went for taco Tuesday this weeka and the food was not the same the burger had way to much seasoning and the tacos were not the same come to find out the old chef Tanya f gone and she has been replaced with a gentlemen that well he's no cook or should I say no chef Tanya must of found a better Job sure wish I knew what restaurant or local bar she may be working at cause I would be taking my business there cause I won't be back there anybody know where Tanya is working ?

I really hate having to write this review but I feel like it needs to be said. My fiance and I are regulars to this spot and have always loved the food and the service, the whiskey bbq burger is our favorite burger of all time, we will come here just for the burger sometimes. However, the past 2 times we have come have been way less than what we’ve come to know and love from this place. Our last visit we brought my father in law along to try the burger and the burgers came out completely burnt and salty, we had asked for them to be remade and they were the same burnt after the remake and we had to wait almost an hour for our original orders. This time we came and they were understaffed and I totally understand that, but we ordered an order of zucchini and a burger and after an hour and a half we were informed there’s no one to cook the food. We have been given a refund and told that they can’t make the burger but will make an order of zucchini. It’s been over 30 minutes since we were told that and still haven’t received anything. It really is a shame because we absolutely love this bar and are regulars here but after this we are not sure whether we will be returning
