Whiskey River North

My friends and I enjoy coming here on the weekends to dance! Drinks are reasonably priced, bartenders are friendly, and they do a good job of keeping the place clean. My only wish is that they played more line dancing songs as that's when the dance floor is the fullest!

I used to love going to Whiskey River. I run a social club and last night our group decided to go after seeing a movie down the street. One of our members was unable to get in because he was wearing sandals - despite having on a nice button down shirt and shorts. Meanwhile women in our group were allowed in with sandals. There were also women/men in extremely tacky shorts and outfits allowed in. At one point I was able to provide my friend with an extra pair of shoes to get inside. Once in, he put his sandals back on given that it was extremely hot. He was quickly removed. Another member of my social club offered him a pair of boots in his car. When he came back with the boots he was told "Because he violated the rules changing back into his sandals he wasn't allowed in with the boots."Just overall an 0/10 experience, ruined about an hour of our night with this petty dress code situation. This is a trashy country dance bar and it blows my mind they would want a group of nice patrons buying drinks and sitting way in the back removed. Felt like high school or something all over again.

The lady at the front is so rude!! I can't not express this enough. FIND SOMEBODY ELSE TO DO IT!

This bar may have a cool vibe and mix of country and hip hop oldies BUT the drinks are watered down and amount of alcohol is NOT the ounce you're paying for. I went to celebrate a birthday of family and watched the tall, long-haired dark headed bartender female skim the alcohol on drink orders. Be vary leary of buying alcohol. You're NOT getting your monies worth. But also, female wait staff wasn't too hot either. Disappointing on the service but not atmosphere.

I came here for a girls night and had so much fun. Being from Dallas I'm very picky on my dance halls and this one is my favorite one in Houston thus far. The bouncers really look out for the girls, drinks are fairly cheep, a good mix of people (different ages/races/genders/heights/ whatever you're into lol). My only 3 complaints are that it is EXTREMELY loud, like I'm not trying to go deaf by the time I reach 30. Then the dance floor could always be bigger, but I mean there's no changing that at this point. The seats, are very awkwardly placed, not enough of them, and when people take them they hog them. They will dance for hours with their stuff on the chairs when there are so many people that could have taken a break from dancing. Overall, I'd recommend for a good boot scootin.

Don't ever come to this place! Everybody who works here is shady and I didn't even get through the doors. The valet said it was $20, but then I talked to another person and he said it was $10. Then I threw away a to-go cup which had seltzer water in it, but the guy said it had alcohol so he wouldn't let us in. I explained to him it was just water, but he literally grabbed the cup from the trash can and said it wasn't. I think the guy was on an ego trip and was having a bad day. Sorry I couldn't give you my business

Lee is the best i'm literally in love with him so is zane he's the extra most bestest.

Great fun place to go country dancing. Drinks are generous pours, ambience is tons of fun, and they didn't charge my brother-in-law and I the cover charge because we're military veterans. How awesome is that! I've been here twice and have enjoyed this place so much. Awesome taco truck across the parking lot for after! Can't wait to go back.

Such a Food experience for my 1st time being there. I was afraid to go in by myself and the music always sounded like everyone was having a great time! And everyone was!! I was definitely there to try the new Crown Royal Black (very smooth) and they were $5Just a great place to dance and eat! I will be back this summer FORSURE!

YEEHAW! BULL RIDING, LINE DANCING, AND MORE!!! 03/03/24I recently celebrated my friend's birthday here at this establishment. It was my first time visiting a country club and I must say I had the most fabulous time ever! There was country music and line dancing galore! The overall ambiance and vibe of the club was raging with excitement and pure energy. It's absolutely enormous inside and there's more than one bar available at this establishment. With all the many dancers crowding the dance floor, it's a good thing this place is humongous. However, the ironic thing about all that space is that there's extremely limited seating availability provided; that is if you have not reserved a table for a birthday party. It seemed like every table was reserved for a party because my daughter and I walked every inch of that club and could not find an available table to sit at because they were all reserved for a party. However, there were plenty of seats around the dance floor, but they were taken as well. So, my advice would be to reserve a table in advance even if you are not celebrating a birthday party. This will at least ensure that you have somewhere to sit and rest your feet after leaving the dance floor. My friend, the birthday girl, did not reserve a table for her party thinking that there would be abandoned tables in the building. Big huge mistake. Furthermore, we ordered drinks all night because the prices were inexpensive. Be prepared to leave tips for the bartender if they truly deserve the tip. As I mentioned previously, there is more than one bar in this establishment. At the bar located to the immediate right as you first enter the entrance doors, there was a blonde haired female bartender and a Latino male bartender working that particular area. Both of them were unfriendly and unwelcoming. I could literally feel the ice-cold energy flowing through their veins. My daughter and I were asking them if they had any good suggestions for us since we really didn't know what we wanted to drink. We tried placing our order with the male bartender first who would not speak up for us to understand him. We asked him what drinks were on the menu for the night and he kept repeating something that we could not understand and he kept a monotone vibe as if he didn't care for us ordering at his bar. As a result, my daughter and I turned to the female bartender in hopes that she would be a little friendlier. She wasn't any better. She acted as if she did not know what to suggest from their own drink menu. She asked us what we wanted to drink and I responded to her, "Ma'am we are asking you and the gentleman for any suggestions because we are indecisive at the moment." She kept acting like a "dumb blonde" as if she did not know what to suggest so we just asked for a lemon drop which was okay. It wasn't strong at all and watery. I left her a tip and moved along. I was not pleased at all with the way they treated us. As a result of the lackadaisical bartenders at the first bar, my daughter and I decided to move to the back of the building and visit the other bar. This bartender was on and popping! He was very entertaining, friendly, and welcoming. He also had a mini chalkboard on display that listed the featured drinks of the night. Now this is what I was asking the other two unfriendly and unwelcoming bartenders about their featured drinks on the menu because they did not have a menu on display, or even offer a menu, or even suggest that we scan a QR code to see the drinks menu. Keep in mind this was my first time and my daughter's first time visiting this place so we were kind of lost. However, the other bartender is located directly in the back. When you first enter the doors you can see him working hard mixing and shaking drinks and serving the crowd like a professional mixologist. He was down-to-earth friendly and relatable. I spent all my dollars and tip money at his bar for the rest of the night and I purchased plenty of drinks all night. If I ever return to this establishment I will never patronize the other two bartenders. They need to stay at home because they do not know how to entertain their guests properly. Overall, Whiskey River is an exciting and fun place to be on a Friday or Saturday night if you want to dance or even ride the bull. Bull riding was fun but impossible to stay on during the whole ride. You will get thrown off no matter what. From the looks of the bull, it seems as if it's designed for you not to be able to stay on. Everyone gets thrown off no matter how hard you try to stay on, but it was so much fun! The dance floor is a nice size but can get overcrowded. The food is absolutely delicious, especially the beef quesadillas. Be prepared to show your ID before entering the building. There's a bouncer at the door asking the guests to show identification before being admitted. Would have given 5 stars if it hadn't been for the two rude bartenders' sore attitudes.
