Buckhead Saloon

Apparently there are spots in the middle of this establishment that are closed on a Saturday night. Was literally just asked to leave a barstool because «this section is closed» while with a group of 16 people. We are all leaving, music is good but we didn’t pay a cover to be kicked off barstools at 11:00p on a Saturday night. Also, bathrooms are gross.

I have to give buckheads no stars. The drinks have no alcohol in them, and you have to pay a cover to get into the bar. My boyfriend got denied because they said his Id was fake and we waited 30 min for cops to show up to verify the Id. It is his actual Id and he is above 21. No cops came, I don’t think they ever did call cops but the bouncers were not only rude to us but didn’t even look at other peoples Ids that were expired and paper ids work but real Ids don’t.

So i went here when i was 21 came back few years later for a bachelorette party and guess what? The live band was playing the exact same Tom Petty songs. Lol and when i went in March they were rationing toilet paper in the womens room. I wasn’t aware of this and wondered why there was no tp in my stall.twice. My sister ended up telling me that the bathroom attendant had to give you a few pieces. One more thing to detest this place. Drinks are decent hence the 2 stars.

Not a fan of this place. Atmosphere is kind of interesting in a rustic lodge sort of way. Lots of college kids here and everyone in my group kind of got that «douchebag» type of vibe in here. Bathrooms were disgustingly dirty. Staff was decent but not over the top either. Milwaukee has some awesome places to go out, try those before hitting up this place. I won’t be back.

Came here for a friend’s birthday. Cheap drinks, mediocre music/​dj but still had a good time.

Staff lost a debit card and Id. Charged the card $ 70 excess. Rude to patron who was the victim. Cards were found on floor!!! Patron had to replace cards at their own expense on top of it. Great way to do business !!

This place had some positives and negatives. On the positive side, there was a drink special that was $ 1 mixers. This was a good time as one of my friends had won a party. This deal was supposed to go until 12:30am. This is where the negative aspect came into play. At approximately 12:20 I purchased a drink and did not receive my deal. This was upsetting and I tried to speak with the bartender but he was rude and inconsiderate. If you come to this bar with a good group it is worth it. Otherwise, there are other bars in the area that are much better.

I came here after Lucille’s with my sister for her bachelorette party. They played really fun music, weren’t crazy crowded and had fun people there. We had a great time. What makes me give this place 5 stars is after a full day and night of drinking heavily the women I was with were really struggling. I went to the bar and asked for a pitcher of water and glasses. The bartender happily provided it without a dirty look or anything. Let me tell you how rare that is in Chicago (1 more win for Wisconsin) so big points in my book. Thanks for making my sister’s night fun and for keeping her friends from vomiting!

The only reason I gave this place two stars, was because the staff were excellent in serving me, but I didn’t like this place for a number of reasons. Personally I don’t like the atmosphere, mainly due to the clientele. The drinks I thought were reasonably price, but nothing really stands out to me about this place. I wouldn’t go again.

I use to go here a lot through out the years but it was a little hectic at times with the crowd. I do think it is one of the best locally-​owned places to have a party. I have rented out their cabin-​themed tables before and the staff is great and accommodating. They have a great selection of bottle service options you can choose from.
This is a place you can definitely let loose for a night! They play a great selection of music from current hits, 80s, country, to pop songs (that you know and secretly love), it’s always a memorable experience.
I love going here for girls nights, bachelorette parties or just a night on the town. The bartenders really handle the crows well, but at night it gets packed! One of the benefits is that you can enter in every time you go to win a keg party — A LOT of fun!
Feel free to dance, dance, and get crazy here!

Always a great spot when you want to just let loose and be a clown. Love to the beer pong Thursday! $ 10 and you are in. Bartenders work the bar, take care of you and make sure you are taken care of!

It was a free beer party! They did well. a lot 20somethings, Good music big place. Old log cabin feel

LOVED THIS PLACE!!! Went with a few guy friends after some bar hopping. Found this place on Unilocal while looking for somewhere we could dance and act stupid. We all had a great time! The DJ was great and played a constant mix of songs everyone could sing along with. From current hits, to 80s, to country, to pop songs you don’t want to admit you actually love! The décor is not what I expected… very cabin/​lodge like with taxidermy animals on the wall. Definitely makes it memorable though. I will for sure stop here again next time my friends and I road trip to Milwaukee!

The music is pretty terrible i must say; they DJ plays music that makes me feel like I am at a high school dance such as the Cupid shuffle… like every night. They have ladies night on Thursdays which is pretty nice. When they have events like bikini contests and what not it is a good time though. They have beer pong tables also if that interests you

Wanted to update my last review, since my friend met her fiancé here 6 years ago and we just celebrated her bachelorette party there last Thursday.
For $ 50 they had a cute table set up for us, a bottle of champagne, a personal waitress, and while I’m not sure what the special was generally that night, everybody in the bridal party got free taps/​rails/​smirnoff drinks, and the bride got to drink whatever she wanted for free.
People didn’t really start showing up to the bar until around 11 so it was pretty quiet there in the interim. We had a great night, tho.
Is spending the $ 50 worth it? Maybe. The decorations were cute (will be under the Bride-to-be’s name, not whoever booked it)! That was probably the most worthwhile thing. The champagne was nice but with so much other free booze not 100% necessary. I didn’t think the waitress was necessary, either — other than her bringing us our champagne, she wasn’t really present the rest of the eve. This was fine, since we weren’t expecting a waitress, but she introduced herself as the one to «take care of us for the evening» so the fact that she then disappeared was kind of odd.
Would this be a typically good bachelorette party pick? If the bar’s already your scene, perhaps. But we were working with nostalgia, and while a flock of near-​30-​year-​olds was a little old for the scene, it was still a really fun evening.

The music drew my BF and I into Buckhead this past Saturday evening, and we (okay — not me) were more than willing to pay the $ 5 cover to find out what was inside.
I’m not sure why this place isn’t rated higher, except maybe it is just a difference between Chicago and Milwaukee. The music was loud, but the band that was playing was great. There are a lot of tables to sit at and a large dance floor area. I found the whole place very clean and nice despite being a late night spot.
If the Saturday night bands are as good as this past Saturday and I lived in Milwaukee, I would likely be a regular.

I can’t say I’ve really experienced better…
This is a college dance club. Pour Some Sugar on Me, Jessie’s Girl, Brown Eyed Girl, and Sweet Home Alabama are the most popular songs. It is filled with college students during the academic year, and is a bit less packed during summer and winter breaks.
There is always some broken glass on the floor, so be sure to wear closed shoes.

Never in my life has my ass been more grabbed by random girls then here… and not in a good way nor by girls that I would want to grab my ass.
You get the picture. It is a fun dive bar for Thursdays though…

Come on Thursday, Come smashed already, or probably don’t come at all!
To start, if you’re going to come here, you need to come on Thursdays when it’s Ladies Night and guys can avoid a cover before 10pm. The drinks cost MUCH less as well, including $ 10 70 oz. beer tubes and $ 2 miller bottles. It sure beats the $ 4 bottles and $ 7 mixers on the weekend.
I rarely ever come here unless it is a Thursday because well, I’m a cheap drunk for one. Second, there is a beer pong tournament every Thursday. And lastly, there isn’t some crumby old cover band singing classic rock on Thursday nights, which Buckheads loves to shove out there EVERY Friday and Saturday for some reason. Thursdays they always have some DJ spinning some beats and current Top 40 /​Dance songs which really makes the dance floor more appealing. At least to me it does.
As the previous reviews state, its a cabin-​themed bar that is much bigger on the inside than you would expect from the outside. The crowd here is sometimes kind of sketch as well. When you’re shaking your you-​know-​what out on the dance floor, there tends to be a lot of random dudes basically creeping on the few attractive girls that are usually dancing. Doesn’t bother me too much, it’s just kind of weird. Might be a simple numbers game with there being wayyyy more guys than girls there. So if you’re a guy, be ready for some competition… unless you’re willing to lower your standards because then you will have no problem probably finding something.
So if you want to get buck, come down to Buckhead’s for some interesting sights and nights!

Do you wanna dance with douchey 21 year olds? Ok, come here then!
