Went to see Thomas Rhett with some friends. The show was scheduled to start at 8 but Thomas Rhett didn’t show up until 11pm. The venue was so overly packed it was hard to move. I briefly left to use the restroom and when trying to get back to my friends a group of drunk girls/guys didn’t want me to get through and blocked my path. When I explained that my friends were about 15 feet up and I needed to get back to them — they again refused and pushed into a metal pole. I was assaulted, felt very unsafe. Not enough security for the amount of rowdy, overly aggressive drunk crowd. I will never return here.

Who’s running this place?!? Awful experience at the Thomas Rhett concert. Ticket said doors open at 8pm but yet by 8:50 the more was still a line wrapped around to the back parking lot. We didn’t get in until 9:30 and then when we did there was ONE bartender at the main bar for thousands of frustrated people. The entire place was entirely too packed. Thomas Rhett didn’t come on until 11pm. We could not locate any information prior as they no longer have a functioning website nor anyone answering the phone or Facebook messages. This was one of the worst set ups I have ever been to. Be prepared to be standing for hours waiting every where you go. Except the bathrooms, there are plenty of stalls.

Worst venue for a concert. It’s now 11PM and the Thomas Rhett concert was scheduled to start at 8PM. This is the most poorly organized event I have ever been to. 94.9 should be embarrassed.

The logistics suck. Poor parking planning. And line is way to long and moved way to slow?! Figure it out already!!?

Need to update their website — it’s 2016! Went to Wild Bills for Line Dancing Wednesday only to find an empty parking lot and closed venue. Very disappointing.

WB’s used to be our go to spot. We have enjoyed going there for years. Since the beginning of 2015 it has gone down hill. Everything is different since it was sold. The main bar had less than 10 liquors to choose from and this was new year’s eve(12÷31÷15) Now that parking is $ 10 and a 12oz can of bud light is $ 5.00 you would think they could have an adequate selection of liquor. The mood was somber and several of our friends left early. The new bartenders are extremely rude. We miss the lively bartenders that have served us for years. It was nice to walk up to the bar and be smiled at and greeted instead of having someone just point at the beer and hold up 5 fingers without saying a word. It’s really sad to see the changes that have been made over the course of 2015. Our days at WB’s are over, we will never step foot in there again. Oh and new owners of wb’s…spend the $ 10 parking fee on real parking passes instead of blank post it notes.

I love Wild Bills! I went to see Almost Kings here and the sound was awesome in this space. Love the stage space and the tiered levels, making it easy to see the stage from wherever you are. Nice big dancefloor! The drinks were strong and the bartenders were friendly although they were clearly overwhelmed. The lighting was good, bathrooms were decent and did I mention that Almost Kings is dope! Great music, great crowd, great energy makes a great music venue. I had a blast here!

Went to a mixed martial arts fight night. We purchased vouchers to attend the event at a discount. Neither of us had been to the venue before so were unaware about the parking situation. To not deal with any hassle, we just parked in front of the building and paid the parking fee. However, this made getting out a bit tricky cause everyone was leaving at the same time right after the event. Pretty spacious venue. The seating area though wasn’t as big as I thought it would be. However, that was great for us. We had a great view of the cage. Of course, this is not a big time venue like you would see for a UFC fight. But suitable for the level of the competitors and price. Drinks were small and expensive. Luckily, I was able to make it through the night with just one cup of soda. We didn’t eat here so I cannot comment on the food. We went to a nearby restaurant after the show instead. At the end of the night, they asked for volunteers to help brak down the cage. You could get free entrance to a future fight. Kinda suprising they don’t have enough staff to do the breakdown in a timely manner. But a good opportunity for folks that want to take them up on the offer.

My lovely place! Every Wednesday night is a Line Dancing Day, easy to gather with nice friends and easy to have a fun there; Only $ 5 you need to pay for 1 hour dance lesson and free to stay after the lesson to dance with friends.

I had a great time at the Yelawolf concert the other night. It’s a great place to hangout on Saturday nights.

Attended a Colt Ford-St Jude charity country music concert. Dirty and smelly. One of the male restrooms was out of service. The whole place just smelt really bad. The food was awful. As for the drinks — what a rip off. The large video screens are so old it’s a joke. They looked blue. The sound was really bad. Very distorted.

Bleh… don’t know what happened to them but its not a club anymore. They cater more to the country, concerts, rock bands, and ufc fights now. I use to go here because it was close to my house and beats driving to downtown for fun. But now? No more foam parties or club dancing. Sucks. The drinks were a little bit heavy on the alcohol. Guess its peer pressure to keep buying and buying! I had to stop after the second because it was a lot. However, my last visit was two years ago. Yeah. can you believe that? Thats how much they changed over the years. Sorry guys.

Huge and spacious venue with plenty of parking in the front and back. I was here to check out a rock concert. I like how the space was divided into sections more like quadrants with the dance floor. In each quadrant there was a full bar so access was not an issue. The restrooms were really clean just some areas the stalls were dark. You wouldn’t be able to see anything. Overall a nice venue perfect for concerts. They lose 2 stars because, of a smell I caught while standing in one area. My friend and I moved to the opposite side of the room but it was too late. Whatever it was made me really sick and I stayed like that all night. I wasn’t even drinking. It got to the point we had to leave before the concert ended. Bummer. I’ll give it another chance and check it out when its just a club. I’ll be back… maybe.

This was my 3rd time at Wild Bills but first time in over two years and first time seeing an NFC Fight. We arrived an hour early and was able to pay $ 5 for close parking which is worth it because the surrounding areas are sketchy. The layout of the venue is cool with multiple bars around the room and high seating all around. That was about it on the positives. The drinks are insanely priced. I paid $ 5 for 1 Bud Light in a can! We also had an older overweight bartender who was probably the rudest person we’ve met. The staff here is not really friendly. Also, make sure you eat before you go because they have 1 kitchen in the back building that is understaffed and it took 45 mins for us to get a basket of wings and they were out of fries and pretty much everything else. All in all our experience was OK. We went to support our friend who was fighting. But it was too pricy of a place to become a regular at. We paid $ 5 parking, $ 30 general admission ticket, $ 7 for a basket of wings, $ 5 per can of beer and to sit down at a table and not stand the whole night, you can ‘upgrade’ your seating for your group for $ 10 a person or roughly $ 40 per table. The fighters were entertaining, but you better bring buckets of cash to spend here.

Wild Bill’s tries, they really do. But they are either hit or miss. Mostly miss. I’ve been there maybe 4 or 5 times, and only events have ended up being a decent time. I have been to 2 concerts here, and those times were actually pretty good! There were a lot of people, the staff seemed to be friendlier, and you were really close to the artist, which — in my opinion– is amazing. Everyone at the concert seemed to be having a good time and that really changed the atmosphere. It almost seemed like Wild Bill’s was always like that. However, my friends and I made the mistake of going on a regular night, with no events whatsoever. This time, the place was packed with awfully rude drunk people who needed to go home. In addition, the staff seemed a lot more rude and slow; it took almost 30 minutes to get drink because the bar staff completely ignored us. Not to mention that the place is carpeted, so you can still smell(and see) the stains from every spilled drink and bodily fluid that’s been on there. The group of the friends that I went with thought that maybe we had a fluke experience. So, out of the bottom of our hearts, we tried again. This time, there were still rude drunks, and it still smelled terrible, but the staff was pretty helpful and we got drinks instantly. In my opinion, only go to Wild Bill’s on an event night because otherwise you’re not going to have the«fun night out» that you had expected. It’s just not worth the money that you have to pay(especially if you’re under 21). However, I recommend the event nights if you’re okay with being in large crowds.

Ever wonder where carnies go for a good time? Ever wonder what a carpeted bar smells like? Ever think, gee I sure would like to wait in line for over an hour to get into this concert? If so, you can find the answers at Wild Bill’s. After being offered a free ticket to see Montgomery Gentry with some friends, I ventured out to Wild Bill’s on a Friday night. The opening act was supposed to start around 9, so we showed up around 9:30. The parking lot was packed so we had to park at the near by mall. This was only moderately sketchy in comparison to the rest of the night. Then the waiting game began. We had seen the line but thought surely that can’t be the will call line. Wrongo. The line was wrapped all the way around the building. We would occasionally walk up to the front to see why it was moving so slowly and realized that cutters were the culprit. I don’t hate many things, but I hate a line cutter. After an hour in the freezing cold a rent-a-cop showed up and line started actually moving. Whoever thought one door for a concert venue that holds 5,000 was a good idea needs to rethink every decision they have ever made. After paying $ 3 for coat check(it was worth it, the room was super hot), we entered into the madness. Despite the smell, I actually like the way the room is set up with a huge floor in the middle and then tiered levels around it. It was relatively easy to work our way to the middle for the show. The show was good and drink prices were standard. There are several full bars as well as several beer carts around the room. The clientele is 18 and up and I believe under 21 have to pay an additional $ 5. Be warned, there are some real sketch people at Wild Bills. You will hear and see things that you never could have anticipated. After the show people stick around to dance and line dance. I’m a sucker for a good line dance I gotta say. It was a hilariously entertaining evening, but Wild Bill’s is not my favorite.

I came here for FIGHTNIGHT. The parking lot was so packed we had to park in the mall parking lot behind the huge Wild Bill’s parking lot. I am a bit biased about liking this place because we got VIP… so that’s just a disclaimer. This place is HUGE. I felt like I wasn’t in Atlanta anymore just by the atmosphere. You are definitely in for an experience no matter which event you go to here. I hear they have all sorts of events here from foam parties, concerts, fight nights… you will have a good time.

Again, this review is for the WEEKLY Wild Bill’s car meet. Due to certain circumstances, it now costs [a mere] $ 2 per spot for parking. The money goes towards paying for Gwinnett PD to ensure everyone’s safety, since some idiots have been doing reckless things, revving, trying to show off and whatnot. Security has said, and I quote, «Mall security will have unattended cars towed» if you park at the mall. Last week, no cars got towed though so. park at your own risk. Only 1 entrance from Mall Blvd will be open. Entrance coming through back side of Wild Bills will be closed. As an incentive, and help out WB’s business for using their valet lot, all the meet attendees will have a FREE entry to Wild Bills(21+, Discounted $ 5 under 21), get FREEVIP Bands for the VIP Lounge. Everyone will be able to purchase products from vendors at a discounted rate available only at the meet. — Don’t know if this goes weekly, or if it was only for the first week of paid admission. I will update. Come out this Thursday for the NOPI Kick-off Meet! Atlanta G’s /Z Atlanta, we have a dedicated parking area so just ask. Or if you drive a G/Z, come join us!

Haven’t been inside of Wild Bills since. I was a freshmen in high school! Lol, but they allow us to hold a monthly car meet, usually right after the Varsity meet, to gather up before, potentially, heading into the club. I think the better the club event, the more people who come out. Last night’s event was a Foam Party so it definitely attracted a lot of people out. A lot of our friends headed in, but we decided not too since it was roughly 50 something degrees out, and didn’t want to potentially freeze on our way out of the club. But Wild Bills is definitely known to host car meets in their parking lot. Wanna come out to the next one? First Thursday of every month, roughly around 8−9pm. :]
