Stagger Inn is always a blast, and this visit was no exception. From the moment we walked in, the energy was electric — great crowd, great music, and an atmosphere that just makes you want to stay awhile. The live music was fantastic and had everyone moving, singing along, and genuinely having a good time. The staff was friendly, quick, and kept the drinks flowing without missing a beat. You can tell this is a place where people come to relax, let loose, and enjoy the night. Whether you’re stopping in for live music, drinks with friends, or just a fun night out, Stagger Inn delivers every time. We laughed, danced, and made memories — exactly what a great local bar should be. Can’t wait to come back!
Straight up scam artists. First, asked for cheapest shots of bourbon for me and my buddy, which he rang up to $10.50 a shot. I showed him receipt and said I’ve been here many times and never was this their cheapest shot. He shrugged and said nothing he could do. So I pay it and tip zero and immediately take it and we leave. Look at my bank account next day and he charged 25% tip. Might only be $5 but it’s fraud and I charged it back. A few days ago another friend went in and cheapest bourbon was $5.25. So they let their bartenders scam and commit fraud. Not to mention the place sucks.
We were there with our daughter for her 21st birthday. She is a UK student and was excited to finally be able to go in to the bar. We had our daughter in law with us who is 7 months pregnant. The bouncer would not let her keep one stool to sit on. Not only that, he kicked us out because of it! Unbelievable! We will NEVER go back to this bar!!
Worst place I’ve ever been to, only go there if you want weird and the worst time of your life. I’ll laugh at you if you go there lol.
Negative 1. I went to this establishment to listen to a country music artist preform that we have been following for over 5 years, however my friend that was with me requires a service dog. We went into the bar, we were carded and proceeded to go to the band when we were approached by a worker who asked us to leave. He said my manager said you can't be here with your dog so you will have to leave. Her dog was vested with the required documentation however the owner or whomever the guy was behind the bar said we can refuse service to whomever we want, and you must leave. He also told her that disabled people should not be in a bar. Needless to say, we won't be back and just wanting to get the word out that this bar refuses service to those with disabilities.
