Started out being my favorite place to go until Sammy kept skipping over me on the list to sing. I didn’t realize he was doing this until about 3 visits ago when I felt that something didn’t seem right when I wasn’t called knowing that I was like 2 singers away. I just chalked it up as being a bit buzzed. Then I started noticing it more and more and then last night I decided to take it upon myself to pay closer attention and I was right. I was so disappointed because he had seemed to always be such a cool dude. There’s other things that I started noticing about how some of the customers are being treated versus others. It’s a shame that they are running their establishment in such biased ways. With this all being said, I’m saddened that I no longer have any more interest in taking my business there. I had so much fun and made so many great memories, but the owners seem off when it comes to customer service, loyal customer appreciation and fairness.

Before diving in, I'd like to point out that about 90% of my reviews are positive. I don't leave negative reviews often.After dealing with funeral and end-of-life stuff all week, some family decided to go out for dinner and invited my husband and me. Being that my aunt isn't in WI a lot and that it's been a rough two weeks, we happily joined. We walked to Fat Sammy's to grab a drink after. The owner came up to our table to check IDs and one of our party members asked where the old quarter machine went. Instead of saying, "You might be remembering the establishment that was here before" the owner said, "We've never had a quarter machine. I've been here 10 years. Why are you yelling" with a thick tone of condescension. Now, our party member WAS a little loud, but she's a boisterous person and it's a bar on a Friday night. It was clear in her tone that she wasn't upset. Nonetheless, this was our first interaction. A little offputting but not a big deal, as the owner and bartenders were busy.Fast forward a few minutes when we have our drinks and sit. They have a TouchTunes machine and my husband queued up 4 songs, but the owner skipped, so he went up to ask for his money back. For background, my husband is legit a golden retriever. He's the most polite, non-confrontational person ever. The owner aggressively gives him $1 and goes, "Yeah. We're not doing that. Look around and read the room. People were instantly annoyed at your music." Mind you, the songs he queued are songs you'd hear daily on 94.7. So not super out of the ordinary. And she skipped the first one 20 seconds in, then the other 3 immediately after. There wasn't time for anyone to be annoyed.So I pulled up the app and showed her that songs are 2 credits, 8 credits cost $5, and she skipped 4 songs. She says, "I don't care. Besides, we're about to start karaoke." I say, "By the way, you're serving an entire table of people who have worked as servers and none of us would ever treat our customers the way you're treating people." She says, "Cool, are you leaving then?" I just walk away and she snidely says again, "Are you going to leave?"I go back to the table and tell them what happened, and we decide to finish our drinks (our first order, not even 10 minutes after walking in) and go somewhere else.A few minutes later she comes up to the table and says, "If you're going to have a meltdown you can leave." I say, "I'm literally just standing here." She goes, "And if you're going to have a meltdown, you can leave" and starts to walk away. So.... I call her the c-word. Not my best move, but I was ticked because I legitimately wasn't doing anything (nor was anyone else in the group), she was rude from the get-go, and it's been an emotional few weeks.We start grabbing our stuff and she goes to get her husband. My aunt tells him we're leaving and he goes, "Yeah, hurry up and get out." I flipped him off as we were leaving and he said, "Oh, poor entitled princess. You can eat one too, honey"After sharing our poor experiences, we had a bunch of friends and family chime in about their poor experiences. Some were just commenting on their general rudeness, but there were also comments about how they harass anyone who leaves them a bad review and that they stand up for people being inappropriate/creeps to other patrons because "they're good guys". So a customer tells you they don't feel safe in your establishment and you ignore them and essentially tell them to get over it, then ban them if they press the issue further. You call others entitled but are rude to people simply because you own the place and can be, then ban anyone who disagrees with you. What a great way to run a business.

Absolute worst service I've had at a bar. Played four songs on the touchtunes jukebox, they got skipped by the bar and it was casuing a scene for me ask for my money back. Less than one star of I could

Literally everything could improve about this place. The drinks barely had anything in them and when they say "everyone is welcome" they don't mean it. if you don't play music they like, the bar will skip it even if you paid for it and when you ask to be refunded they barely do that before kicking you out. 0/10 would never go there again.

They are all decked out for Halloween! Wonderful staff, pool and darts, karaoke (we didn't see anyone singing, but it's nice to know it's an option), and an outdoor patio make for an aesthetically-pleasing place to be!

Drinks are over priced. I drink a glass of water with my alcoholic beverage. One bartender filled my water 2 times then the owner with short blond hair told me I wasn’t allowed free water. That I had to buy bottled water if I wanted any. This is even though I was buying drinks in addition. Was not a fan at all.

All around a very bad place. The customer service is horrible. The drinks are over priced. Thanks patrons are bad news. Some guy put his hands on my fiance in a very inappropriate manner and security did nothing about it . I hope it closes at some point ?

They took my paid beer and threw it out, then kicked my friends and I out due to freedom of speech. I want the owner to lose his permit m I'm not very happy with this place.
