First Street Country Saloon

I've considered this bar my local hangout for YEARS. I loved it here. Tonight changed everything. The owners boyfriend was so stupid and loud and hillbilly. I've spent more tips on the staff here than anyone else (I'll wager that fact!). I was told to shut up - just cause he didn't like who I was sitting next too. The bartender begged me to ignore him. I was one of the best customers they had. I left quietly. Never to go back. DONE.Don't go to this bar. They often complain of mice, and roaches. Don't eat here. Don't go here. Ugh. Ugh. Don't go here. It's not nice. Don't go here.

Looks nice, there's pool and pinball, plenty of off street parking, but we didn't stay long enough to get a drink because of the giant cloud of smoke we were greeted by upon entering. I don't mean to be a stuck up jerk, but I'm coming from New Orleans where they've banned smoking in all bars and restaurants. Yes, New Orleans where you can drink on any street and show your boobs for beads (that really only happens on Bourbon Street and the locals roll their eyes at it), they've banned smoking in all bars. So I suppose I was expecting the same in little old Madison, but maybe there's some agreement that this is the one smoking bar in town? Not sure. I wish you the best of luck, I just can't do smoky bars anymore!

This is the best bar around. Great service,awesome drinks,pleasant atmosphere,extremely clean and most of all, always great people in there to socialize with. Deffentantly will go back.

If you're looking for a bar with cold drinks, pleasant bartenders and a good time, you should check it out It's small, off the beaten path, and just a nice little pub. Non-smoking indoors but you can smoke on the patio.They have several games, an outdoor patio, and late night music. Snacks are available but real food is scarce. BBQ is sometimes available. Overall, I recommend this establishment.

Shitty food, bad people, slow service... and got very threatened by the people playing darts Possibly named cal and OPVery dark and wet restaurant feel Also smells bad

Cool vibe great staff.. no waiting on drinks. Music every weekend and open mic on Thursdays.

Apparently Miss Debby the owner of the 1st Street Saloon likes to point fingers and ban people without solid evidence. Now, I'll be the first to say it's her business and she has the right to deny service for any reason she sees fit. However, she is not untouchable by criticism. At first she told this man "we saw you on the cameras" then it quickly went to "I have it on good source" so let me ask you as potential patrons, what's keeping her from blaming you next time you come to her establishment? What if she decides to attempt to take legal action? What if you're forced out or forced to spend your valuable time and money fighting something you were accused of but didn't do? Just a little something to think about when planning your night out.
