Hangout Bar and Grill

Dinner was awful. We were the only 2 people eating in the entire restaurant. First order was Oyster Rockefeller. No spinach. Next order was Sea scallops not scallops. They offered fried oysters. Ok but there were no oysters just a big ball of fried greasy something. Asked for a manager or someone in charge, there was no one. Told the waitress we would not pay for them. She just looked at us and took the plate away. Came back and said I took it off your bill. No sorry no nothing. Will never go back there again. We were loyal customers back when it was Tony’s. I did read the reviews which I will add were not good. Decided to give them a chance. Needs to just be a bar and nightclub with bands on Friday and Saturday night. Or even a sports bar. Bring in food trucks if necessary. Just give up the food business.

Big Stage and roomy venue. Police and Thieves were playing for Halloween 🎃 and were great. There was a little wrinkle with our tab with being charged for a Heineken that we didn’t order, but we talked to the bartender and they corrected the bill 💵. Sax player the band had added some great sound! They played a lot of retro… INXS, Modern English- Melt With You, Duran Duran…

I have hosted events at this location before and it was an absolute blast, but this past weekend they went above and beyond for me -opening an hour early and putting out the most delicious buffet, the staff are so accomodating and the atmosphere is everything, once youre here you dont want to leave!

Hubby and I went over to MacGregor Downs to meet someone for lunch and then some fun playing up at the Geekery, to find out that Wasabi is not open on Sunday for "Lunch". After looking around near Wasabi, found this place tucked in the back, that was actually open. Since it was still well before "evening", the place was fairly empty, which was fine by us. Got to chatting with the staff, and found out they have recently reopened under new management. They had previously had bad reviews, and then covid hit, and everything went sideways. We've all been there. So I took it upon myself to have a "look around". First off, the food and service were fantastic, and I don't think that was "just" because it was slow. I got a pic of my burger, and oh yes I will be ordering THAT again - YUM! The staff was happy to chat with us, from the bartender just making small talk, to the cook coming out to not only check on our dietary restrictions, but to laugh and chat with us as well. LOVE when we get to chat with the staff and are welcomed to hang out, instead of feeling rushed to finish our food and "get out" so more customers can dine. Second, oh my goodness, this place is SO MUCH LARGER than it appears on the outside, or even at the front door. MULTIPLE Rooms of dart boards, a separate area for pool tables, a massive dance floor, space for live entertainment, even a raised separated seating area filled with massive reclining chairs, and that's all before even mentioning the regular tables, bar, and the outside seating! Which, there's more than just "one" bar. Just what the what?! I haven't seen this massive of a layout for a bar, since "It's" in Fayetteville! Third, music. Vibe is definitely country honky-tonk, with apparently line dancing classes on Sunday evenings. Haven't been able to check that out yet, but I'm hoping that we can soon. But, considering this is more of a honky-tonk vibe, expect thumping country music from the past 30 years. BIG screens behind the stage by the dance floor, was playing country music videos. BUT, it wasn't "so loud" that we couldn't hear each other talk up at the bar, which for me is a bonus. Lastly, it pulls off the "vast yet intimate" vibe... so depending on your mood, you can either be in a mass social setting, or off in a private corner. I've seen massive dance halls where you couldn't find a quiet spot to save your life, and I've seen literal underground speak-easy's that were nothing BUT a grouping of walled off private corners, and yet they expected you to be able to dance to live entertainment. This is the happy medium, that most bars can't provide. My 40+years of "clubbing" has shown me that much. So, if you're looking for a place to do some boot-scootin', enjoy a REALLY good burger and top-notch onion rings, indulge in an old fashioned made with Woodford Reserve, and enjoy some good vibes all around, DEFINITELY check this place out!

Well, an opening night was indeed spectacular with great live band 'Crush', who was actually crushing it. Managed to lit up the middle-aged crowd with well-known '70s, '80s rock hits, so the dance floor was packed. Service staff was somehow miraculously navigating their way through to the tables across the dance-floor without any spills or broken glass 👏🏻. There's a separate big room for all kind of typical games and activities, as well as patio up front. Open till 2am, good to know for a late weekend drive-by.
