Very fun! A bit of warning about the bull: my friend and I both ended up with split blisters on our pointer finger knuckles. Not a big deal in general but keep in mind that its happening to basically everyone in the same place, so a bit of a concern for infection. I think they keep it pretty clean, but they aren't disinfecting between every single ride obviously. I also ended up with bruised thighs but I think I'm more proud that I lasted long enough to get those than hurt from it. Again, very fun, glad I did it once. Loved the support from the crowd and staff for everyone who gave it a try, I didn't see one person having a bad time.
Always a fun time with friends!
When we waited for our turn to get on the bull for about 30 minutes, the idiot security said I haven't seen you before and told me to go to the front of the line. After that, when people in the line confirmed it, he said you need to leave or I'll kick you out.

I wandered in to sing karaoke, and it was a blast! The bartender was so sweet and bubbly. The karaoke host made everyone feel like a true celebrity. It was a great night!

Hellen was so nice she not only went above and beyond but she took two of our party’s shoes and sowed them back together. She is amazing!

This place throws their trash from the end of the night on the street.
I used to love it here. What happened? Music is trash now, drinks are trash and people that work there used to be awesome welcoming and funny, now not at all. I’m easy to please and somehow this place is not it anymore.
This place has really dropped off. Same music all the time and now its 10x louder for no reason. I have not tried the food during the day and I wont because of the type of people that come here at night. There's no way it's sanitary.
It has great energy and entertainment. The girl on the mic and controlling the mechanical bull definitely loves her job and makes it fun for everyone. She needs a raise!
Not a safe space. Security will harass minorities including women, black people and LGBTQ+. The security guy here made me feel incredibly uncomfortable, please do not give them your business unless you want to feel unsafe. Food is meh too. 0 stars.

Let me state I dont rate places because maybe they had an off-nite or whatever. If it was bad, I just won't go again. I have been coming to this place for at least 8 years. My first review was about this place because they hired an unstable person - but it happens. Since then, under new mgmt, I gave them a second chance, but tonight was it. I had been buying their special advertised drink which is to say it was a weak pour but whatever. I get it. However, there were some people from Europe visiting, both men and women, who were forced to share a drink because of the cost. This was embarrassing, so I offered to buy them a shot of a common drink known to everyone. Its something you can do on a beach. The bartender brought out full size drinks at $14 each because there was a mystery surrounding the size of a shot glass. I asked the bartender, who told me too bad. I talked to a manager who said the same thing. Apparently, this 'extravagant' shot (or full sized drink) cost the same - $14. Im old. I know a hook when I feel one, but at the same time, I'm so disappointed. Even the other group left dismayed. Do better.
☆☆☆☆ One Star for the Bar Stool Bandit
Ah, Double Deuce — where the drinks flow, the music twangs, and apparently the bar stools vanish mid-sip like it’s some kind of country-western version of a magic show no one asked for.
My fiancée and I were having a damn good time. We’d committed to contributing generously to the bar’s nightly revenue — drinks, tips, the works. Then, without warning, a security guard taps me on the shoulder and points beneath me like I’d dropped a wedding ring or a small child. I stand up, confused but cooperative, only for the guy to yoink my bar stool and walk away like a cowboy collecting taxes.
He didn’t say a word. No explanation, no “excuse me,” not even a casual “this stool’s being recalled for crimes against humanity.” He just ghosted my seat like it owed him money. Moments later, the rest of the bar patrons got the same treatment. One by one, stools were snatched like a toddler’s favorite toy at daycare.
Are the stools haunted? Did they not pay rent? Was there an emergency line dance that required an immediate clearing of the bar rail? We’ll never know, because the staff seemed more interested in reenacting a silent Western heist than communicating with paying customers.
Look, I’ve been to a lot of bars — divey ones, fancy ones, weird ones — but never have I had my seat stolen while actively paying to sit on it. If you’re into mysterious furniture disappearances and cryptic security rituals, Double Deuce is your spot. If you like normal human interaction and chairs that stick around, maybe try literally anywhere else.
Thanks for the weird memory, I guess?
Get on that Bull!
Alwaysca fun experience.
