Seabass is my favorite but honestly all the bartenders are great. Vibes are immaculate, music is always on point, and one of the cheaper places for drinks on the street.

Wandered in on a random Thursday evening and Ali provided great service and the Red Bull vodka she made me was simply extravagant.

Went to a neighboring bar and restaurant and quickly migrated next door. Khalil was inclusive and accommodating. The atmosphere highly energetic yet inviting of all generations. Khalil was able to connect to myself and wife taking a break from daily grind while also focusing on those vacationing/celebrating fraternities and sororities engagements. Thank you to Khalil for the great time.

I would give this place 0 stars if I could. I had went to Conerstone with a friend for the night and had a drink, but noticed Dogwood was much more busy and friendly. We decided to go across the street because we knew we would have a much better time with the atmosphere. I must say the different color flow wrist bands were a great idea!!We decided to stay at Dogwood for the remainder of the night. Around 2:00am we ordered our last drinks and finished them. We were about to head out around 2:15 when my friend had to go to the bathroom. While I waited by the bar, one of the employees told me I needed to leave and I said I was waiting for my friend in the bathroom and he said okay that's fine! However, the individual that was passing out the wrist bands (had a "security" jacket on) came up to me and said I needed to leave. I went ahead and i formed him I was waiting for my friend that was in the bathroom. He said no you need to leave now and I said the other employee said it was okay. At that moment he got very defensive and said "no one tells me the rules" and pushed me with aggression to which I stumbled. He proceeded to make ignorant comments while physical assaulting me the entire length from the bathrooms to the steps outside. He then pushed me down the steps.I spoke to the GM the next day and the employee is on leave, not even fired. I would stay far away from this bar because of the toxic employees they employ.

experienced a traumatic encounter from manager and security this past Saturday. Me and my group of friends decided to head to dogwood after receiving some drink tickets from a promoter I believe. As we approached security my friend who is of the Sikh religion is asked to remove his turban because of a policy of no hats. We explain to the security that he cannot remove his turban and that we see 10 other guys wearing baseball caps right there on the patio next to us. He proceeded to say they’re allowed to wear beanies, so you can under how flabbergasted I was at this statement since it made absolutely no sense. We then asked for the manager to in hopes to resolve this. Instead of getting anything close to a resolution he proceeded to tell us he is Muslim and that just because our friend is Sikh doesn’t mean he can wear his turban. We realized that this had nothing to do with the fact that he was wearing his turban because 60% of the males in there were wearing some form of hat, it was that they are in fact practicing prejudices and had no intention on letting our friend in. What a disgraceful and horrifying place. I really hope that others read this review and know how horrible that experience was for our friend to be shamed for his appearance and refused entry because of religious discrimination. I know it couldn’t have been easy for him to endure that public bigotry so gracefully. Says a lot to his character, unlike the hateful culture accepted at this establishment.
