Aaron Lewis never disappoints! The facility is big with multiple mini bars setup and a main bar, activities such as bull riding if youre up for that, arcade games, pool and air hockey. Where they lack is seating and its not a good setup for concerts. Luckily someone stole our seats even though our belongings were there and we were standing behind the sound booth front and center and had an amazing view!
My friends and I love coming here for concerts! There is always plenty of room, so you can find a spot to see the stage either at the tables along the dance floor or on the actual dance floor depending on your preference. The staff is nice and the atmosphere is great! Plus the tickets are extremely affordable, which is a plus!
This place is the best! So much fun. Saw Ashley McBryde here. Stop by and get a beer.
8 second saloon sells VIP standing tickets so you can be closer to the stage. What they forget to tell you is that they dont care if you paid a little extra. They moved the barrier in front of the stage and put a whole row of extra people in front of us. We had been standing there since the doors opened at 6pm and this whole row of people just gets put right in front of us. My fiance is 411 and had a 6 tall person standing in front of her. What a great show. Would not recommend. I would put 0 stars if I could.
We went to see Lauren Alanis and the show didn’t start till 11. She was great but unfortunately couldn’t stay for the whole show. Probably wouldn’t have went if I know that.
What a great party atmosphere! So many things to do and they have the best concerts around in my opinion! Fun up close seating and friendly staff.
Went there for the Craig Morgan concert the place was packed and needed more places to sit the prices on the alcohol was good expected my bill to be way higher than it was. The bartender was really nice! Also the pretzels arnt that bad!
I always have a great experience when I come here! Drinks are cheap and staff are very friendly
Pretty sure they dont know what ventilation is! 105+ degrees inside and they have maybe 20 little ceiling fans. A commercial establishment that size should have commercial ventilating! Will never go again they ruined and great concert because it was unbearable inside.
Well the person who I went to see didnt come out until 10:45pm and he was suppose to come out @ 8:45pm. The staff and waitresses were fantastic, and the bathrooms were filthy.
Went to see Henry Lee Summer arrived 2 hrs early to get a good seat all tickets were general admission. All seating on stage side were empty but reserved. Only place left was on back side of dance floor where could not see with no tables.
This is a great venue to see a concert. Ive seen Aaron Lewis and David Allan Coe here multiple times. Always have good security which makes for a nice safe time. If it is a seated concert it is well worth it to get a table close to the stage.
Its a very nice place
Great venue, had a blast!
We paid to reserve a whole table to see David Lee Murphy. People were standing and blocking the view. When I asked security if they could do something about it they claimed that some of the people were family of David Lee Murphy and there was nothing we could do. We assumed we would be in a better area since we paid for a table but we were not. Very disappointed. If they were his family I just want them to know how incredibly rude they were to his fans.
I Love this Bar I have seen Gary Allan in concert there and the place ROCKED!!! I am EXTREMELY STOKED to see Uncle Kracker there!!!!!
Good country dancing and music. Great food! Nice staff. Inexpensive concerts.
This is one of the best places to go to see a show! Great prices, drinks and country shows! I love this Saloon and the staff! 5 STARS!
We went in late October and had a great time. They did have to escort a couple of people out of the bar. The carpet could use an update or a good cleaning.
Aaron Lewis last night! Kind and courteous staff. Bill is one of the best gms Ive seen work a bar that size. Yea there are drunk idiots but the staff handled everything in a very professional manner! Hats off to the staff at the 8 second saloon.
Love this bar BUT needs to offer FREE water esp when you think about pregnant women,ppl w health concerns and 80% of the country is chronically dehydrated. I was DISAPPOINTED by there $2.50 charge for water bottles and think there’s a great opportunity here to begin a nationwide example for free water. Up the charge of admission but give your customers life saving water they need.
Best place to go to a concert. Staff is friendly. Have an awesome time
Huge place; bigger than expected! Non-stop line dancing; we knew zero line dances but still got out there and had fun. Mechanical bull.We were there for a concert, if you dont buy table tickets, there is no seating. Line for bar was quiet a wait. Overall, great experience. We would definitely go back, if in town.
WARNINGFun place to go, good music. I used to have a blast. Went to all the shows and tremors too. Me and several of my buddies, spent a lot of money up there. They hired this short brown headed shot girl, waitress named Michelle awhile back. She isn’t bad looking but, get a few drinks in her and she will screw everyone. That’s what the downfall was, she was meeting up with me one minute, then a cpl weeks later I’d be up there and she’s having my buddy follow her up to the dollar inn on Washington. I found out she had a boyfriend too, and was screwing everybody including management. Band guys, you name it. Thing is she passing around stds that u will never get rid of among other things. Just had a baby and still up there screwing the manager who let her work, Jim. They lied to child support said she didn’t work there so her kid didn’t get supported the whole time..,,, beware!!!! Don’t do it!!!!!!!
Awesome Live Entertainment Venue. Almost every Major Country Recording Artist has performed at least once and often returns for more of the excitement that can only be found at the most liked venue in the United States. Look hard enough and You can find yours truly!!!
We came all the way from Toledo Ohio to see Brett Young on 2/24/18.. 1st time at 8 Seconds Saloon, and we had a Blast.. It was a sold out show, and I absolutely loved the venue. Thanks for having us!! Great time!
Fun place for a concert!I recently went to a Cole Swindell concert at 8 Seconds and had a great time. There was plenty of room to host a concert and the service was great! Drinks were reasonably priced and I wish I would have eaten at the restaurant. Maybe next time!
Bad experience about sitting, my husband got a ticket for the Micro Federation Wrestling online, arrived super early to get the best spot at the table and after been there for over an hour the rest of the people for the table arrived and bullied him out, so he went with the problem to the establishment staff and their solution was to ask him to move.... weird weird weird, my husband came back EXTREMELY disappointed and devastated. It looks like they need to learn to respect and treat their clients who show up alone to events with the respect they deserve and not take sides with bigger parties because it might be the easier way out
Went in on Saturday night (normal DJ night). There was no cover and they were giving out concert tickets at door. I was surprised this place is a lot cleaner than other county bars I have been to. Everyone was friendly, from staff to people on dance floor. There was a good mix of all ages there. If you dont like line dancing, this might not be the place for you. If you do, there is a dance to almost every song and people are willing to help you learn. Also, there are pool tables and a mechanical bull.EDIT: I have been back a few times since my first experience, even a couple concerts. The GM really cares about making sure people have a good time - and because of that, I will continue to support this venue.
Horrible. crowded, drinks where over priced, wouldnt let you walk out to your car. felt like jr. high kids at a dance. And never have i heard so much pop and rap music at a western bar.....only the singer from the opening band showed and the main attraction was 30 mins late to stage cause they over booked meet and greets. HORRIBLE! DONT GO!
This place is amazing. Huge Dance Floor boot shop and hat shop all in one. If you want to change it up you can just head to the back to trimmers and I have a whole nother experience with a different type of music all in one location. A drink prices are fair and they have amazing cocktails on demand. Some nights of youre lucky enough theres even a mechanical bull.
Love this place. Line dancing lessons Wednesday evening. Bartenders and servers are super nice. Tons of parking. Pizza shop inside. Inside 465. I go here weekly.
Over the years the place has gotten better with the crowd but needs some fresh paint and floor cleaning services... Mostly country music but other events are known to use the facility for a small show.
Bad experiance: I called the bar and ask about getting tickets for a performance I am told I can get them at the door. When I arrive the bouncers do not let me in the door after I show them my ID (From anouther State) I am asked if I have tickers? While waiting out side I Heard same bouncer make a call and tell the people lots of room and $10 at the door and the bar wasent full. 7 hour drive to see a show and bouncers wont let my wife and I past the front door. Would give this place less then one star of I could. But maybe if the bouncers where respectable individuals. I might have seen what great bar this is but never again.
It was really run down compared to what I remember from 2-3 years ago. I hope they are able to put some money into repairs and keep it open.
Drove from Hamilton, OH a couple weeks ago to see moonshine bandits then rode the motorcycles up this past weekend for big smo. Its a great place for a concert. There is a huge dance floor so theres a lot of entertainment lol. If it was closer Id go a lot more. We met some cool people and had a good time.
Great place to enjoy a night out and listen to some country music. Staff is so friendly and goes out of their way for you. Will be returning.
Always a great time at 8 second with great entertainment. Well worth the 3 1/2 hours drive from chillicothe ohio
Great little place to dance and watch the live band. You can ride the mechanical bull for $2. Drinks arent bad either. Plenty of open room on the dance floor.
Small for a concert venue, but offers up close and personal performance. Coming back soon!
Honkeytonk heaven! Huge dance floor good music and moderate drink prices, make for a fun night with friends.
We purchased tickets for a concert at this venue more than 3 hours away from our home. When we arrived we found out the show didnt start when they said, it started 4 hours later. The seating was significantly different than what we were lead to believe when we paid for the tickets and our view was obstructed by a large crowd of people. There was a handicapped woman at our table in a wheelchair that could not see anything this was brought to the general managers attention and he said it wasnt his problem. When I told him it was his problem because if we had gotten the seats we had purchased this wouldnt be an issue he then told me to mind my own business because I didnt know the woman. I will never come back to this establishment and I would never recommend this place to anyone.....Also the food is awful.
Love the place but got kicked out by a bouncer who put his hands on me not once but twice while I was complying with every one of his enforcements kicked me out after I paid vip bought Merch and was having a blast other than this tough guy had a good experience
Love the country music, Live entertainment and the people there are super. Enjoyed the service & the experience I had . Staff members of the club was nice & helpful.
Love this place Ive been coming here since 2012 never had a bad experience. The food and staff are kind and awesome, the concert atmosphere is awesome this venue is always packed.. Wish I lived closer Id be here more often.
Loved the concert with moonshine bandits the day before mothers day was a great show and was my mothers best mothers day get ever
Ive seen one concert here and a couple of MMA shows. Its tough when youre pregnant, but it would be a blast otherwise.
For my first visit there, we went to see Scotty McCreery on a Friday night. The show was great, and the place was packed. They had deals on longnecks for $17.25 for a bucket of five. They gave us tickets to come back for a show in April too. The opening act was good, and there was lots of dancing and other fun stuff to do there as well. They had pool, a mechanical bull, food, some arcade games, and a four different bars within the saloon. I would recommend it for a fun evening and will be back.
The heat was unbearable and when I went to the back bar and stood for an hour to get 2 beers I asked the bartender and she replied “ask me if I care” so I never bought another drink and was so upset at the way she spoke to a paying customer we left 3 songs into the concert we had tickets for will never go back
The largest dance floor in the Midwest! The people are friendly, the dancing is fun, and the concerts are well attended! What is not to like!
This place would be cool if you didnt have to pay $3.75 for a beer.
Fun place and good sound system.
Had a great night. Went to see Chace Rice.
Enjoy my time there Line Dancing and no smoking and no problems with drinks or service. Bartenders are great and We do not go on Fri or Sat but if we did I would make sure to get there early. Advice from your Mom never leave your drink unattended .
Great atmosphere, good music, and drinks are reasonably priced!
Nice venue, very close to stage. NOT a bad seat in the house
Great atmosphere, cheap drinks, and frequent DAVID ALLAN COE!
Updated review.Since I was driving through I decided to stop and see another favorite, this experience was much better, other than yout typical rude drunks which is pretty much at any show. The security guard Bishop was extremely kind and took a few minutes to make one of our friends fighting cancer feel special. (Thank you, you made her night) Didnt even attempt to use the bathroom and I wasnt drinking so cant comment on that.I did add one more star and bought a ticket for a show in February.Original review..Drove down from Detroit for one of my favorite bands. While most of the staff was very kind and polite there were quite a few issues. First 2 different bars charged different prices for the exact same drink the first one they charged $6.50 the second one at a different bar was $4.50 wth hell is that? By the end of the night the floor in the ladies bathroom was worse than a porta potty.While watching the show the people next to me were constantly bumping into me. I seriously couldnt even enjoy the show. I asked them to stop and they just got more rude.People were also jumping the barricade between the GA and reserved seating, nobody stopped them. And to top it all off at the end of the very end of the night, some idiot pushed his girlfriend into me as I was talking to some friends almost knocking me to the ground, spilling my drink and continued to push her as she tried to get away from him. Nodody from the venue stepped in til one of our people grabbed a security gaurd. Im now laying in bed at my hotel with pain in my hip and leg. There are several venues I would road trip to this is not one of them. Such a bad first impression. There definitely needs to be more of a security presence with in the crowd during shows. I will give them major props on the pulled pork nachos though.
They were very under staffed bought a$100 table and no service wow
Great venue for live bands and a D.J.. Always people dancing, there seems to be a different dance for every song, I think they have lessons on Wednesdays.
The staff go above and beyond to accomadate everyone. My family and I have a great time everytime we go.
My husband, a few friends and myself came to see Luke Combs and we were introduced to Muscadine Bloodline. Needless to say, we have plans to come back 12/16 to see Muscadine Bloodline again! We travel from about an hour south of Louisville and it is well worth the trip!
Great servers clean greatest prices and a lot concerts
Perfect for up and coming acts to start, and legends to be appreciated by life long fans.
Everyone knows everybody. If you dont, you will quickly and everyone is so friendly and helpful.
We are attending the Chase Rice concert. It said it started at 7. Showed up at 7, and he didnt even start until 11!!!! Not very impressed. Probably wont come back.
Im not a fan of venues advertising the start of a concert hours before the actual start of the concert. I was worried that I was running 30 minutes late. 2 1/2 hours later, concert hasnt started.
Great music great drinks. Never a dull moment!
Iam only giving 3 stars do to the fact that the waitres poked me in the eye with her book then spilled her tray full of ice and left over drinks all over my right side. All she did was asked if i needed paper towels and I nodded my head yes but she never brought them back, so i sat there for the last 20 min of the concert. And only reason I sat there was I wasnt gonna miss the rest of concert that my son brought tickets for my birtday. I went to the bar afterwards to talk to someone but they were very busy. So thanks to waitres I drove 4 hours home in very wet clothes.
Come Here Often. Cant Here the Vocalist. Sound System needs updated 30 years ago. Its Hott as Hell, I cant keep a buzz because Im sweating more alcohol than my body can consume. The older Blonde Bartender who is always here and is always ruder every time I visit, is too busy waving customers to come to her line instead of giving a single lick of good customer service. The other bartenders are rely attractive and mostly sweethearts. Still the only place in town where i can see a descent country show. Whoever dose the booking is on it. Yes I will be back....hopefully the service gets better!!
AWESOMENESS!! They go out of their way to make sure you have a Great time and Great Service!!!
Nice happening place hosting up and coming bands not much of a menu and i dont know the prices has a happy hour it a big place .
Very good
Hand a great time tonight good music and laughs. Great drink specials too
Ive been a couple times. bartender was nice. a fun time
Good place to see a concert and they have good drink prices.
Was nice roomy and I like the music and huge dance floor
DESCRIMINATES AGAINST THE DISABLED AND VIOLATES ADA LAW. I AM A DISABLED VETERAN AND WAS DENIED ENTRY WITH MY SERVICE DOG.
Great fun! Close to downtown Indy.
Josh Turner puts on a great acoustic show.
Had a blast at the Jamey Johnson concert, coming back for the David Allan Coe concert
Be careful where you put your drink...keep your eyes on it at all times. I set my drink at the bar and went to the dance floor, came back took a drink. Less than 30 minutes later I fell out. I was slipped a ruffy. Have been back since. Wont ever go back!
Got to the Kane Brown concert at 6 and was second row. Was in the middle of 3 fights. Security did nothing. By 10:30 still no Kane Brown and was tired of being pushed and screamed at by drunk people who were never kicked out for fighting. Honestly if I didnt pay $133 for the tickets I would have left. Absolutely ridiculous.
A great place to let loose and have a good time with friends
People are great and drinks were cheap 17.25 for a bucket of bud
Great service awesome music, good parking
Always have a great time when I come to see a show here
Awesome staff and dance floor, had a great time there ! Would definitely go back !!
Great venue! had a wonderful time!
Great music and great staff
So far so good waiting on Brett Young
Went to Chris Jansen concert here it was good, DONT GO IF you cant line dance bc that is all the dancing they do there.....also this night the bull was not working but other than that drinks were good.
If you love to dance, enjoy live music and an awesome bar staff--THIS IIS THE PLACE TO BE!
