Whoever designed this sound rig and stage setup should be ashamed. We paid extra to be in the balcony, but quickly regretted wasting the money. We spend the evening trying to see around the speakers and rig, literally leaning to put our heads down on the balcony railing just to be able to see. The people on the floor didnt fair any better with all the columns blocking their view. Mitski, the artist herself, even acknowledged all these issues. We will never attend a concert at this venue again.

Good club has a lot of games to play while your hanging out with friends. a bit of a drive for me but well worth it come party at 8 seconds

Super friendly bar staff. But this boomer DJ looked like I was requesting Nelly when I asked for some Luke Combs or Maren Morris. I love BnD and mr Adkins as much as the next guy but damn this dj was tough. 2 stars for the bar staff. Classic Boomer

This review is mainly in regards to concerts here. I came to see Mitski here and the experience was awful. The lines of sight are pretty bad with large pillars blocking the view. The stage is also not elevated enough so it is almost impossible to see. The sound was so bad and quiet that even the artist apologized for it. Eight Seconds is a decent place to go to otherwise but I would never come back for a concert.

Sounds like a fun place to be

Had a blast first time there Bethany a sweet person she fixes the drinks

I have been going here for over a year now, and like going. They have a great dance floor and the music is good and the DJ throws in some hip hop to give people to change the pace. The drunks walking through the dance floor has cut back, but if you dance towards the center then your fine. 18 and over.. cover is cheap also 5 for 21 and over 7 for 18-20.

A young blonde girl previously on crutches claimed she was in charge of the bar and was constantly in the customers faces. She claims to be the owners girlfriend. I have witnessed her venting and talking bad about the owner as well as the business. This bar was so much better without her there.

I litterally loved it! Felt safe and had a super good time!

My friends and I had a blast. Large dance floor, pool tables, several bars, good music and $10 all you can drink wells.

The new DJ is terrible! He talks over all the music, and people were sitting on the dance floor. The drinks are sub-par at best. For a place that claims to be a COUNTRY BAR. They sure do play alot of trap music.

Had fun in the country. Not a club goer though

Been going there since 2007 and its still the only nightclub in Gainesville I truly enjoy going to!! Free line dancing lessons and great drink specials

Gotta love one of the few bars in Gainesville that has been opened since the 90s!

By FAR my favorite place.

Im fron Brazil and have been there 15 years ago!!I really did have funny

Fun place Great bartenders!

Crowded but thats to be expected in a club/ bar setting. Didnt like that people could smoke inside but was more ventilated than most.

This place is garbage

Interesting crowd

Country place n 1

Um, closed, despite what the websites say.

If it wasnt for all the sausages there then it wouldnt be so bad. like seriously 12 sausages to one taco is terrible!
