Chesney's Whiskey Saloon (Bodegas) — Restaurant in Amarillo

Paid cash to get in, since they do not take card, and was told 45minutes after I paid “you don’t have a wristband so you didn’t pay. Get out.” They do not offer/provide receipts to prove you paid, just their employees “‘recollection” on if they remember seeing you come in or not out of the 200+ people they have already seen that evening. Their front entrance employees did not do their job of giving me a wristband, which I was not aware we were supposed to have, and apparently this was my fault. The bouncers then continued to get physical with one of the other people I was being kicked out with because they were trying to have a civil conversation with them, but due to their ego, they could careless to have that mature conversation. The disrespect experienced was absolutely ridiculous. This place is not worth your time and definitely not worth your money....

My friend left her purse in the bathroom. When she realized it, she went back to the restroom and found her purse, No phone. Once the bar closed, she waited. Tracked her phone active inside the bar. After threatening to call the cops to get her property. She walked in and found an employee. Male, 5’11 with dreads was holding the phone in his hand. He didn’t turn it in to management, so it was all very unprofessional. As, I left my card, and called back to claim it, since my name isn’t on the card. I was hung up on, no name asked, number no information. Yet I paid to get into the establishment, and received nothing but poor service. Very disappointed in my experience as someone born and raised here, and I love my city. It’s a very bad experience, to which I wouldn’t recommend it for a place for a trustworthy...

We were treated well. You are allowed to tape. Security was professional and helpful. Although the owner was stern about exits and interences, it made us feel safe and he was good to us, even though he was extremely busy. Answered our questions; was professional; and gave us direction. Well he was giving everyone direction...lol...he's a natural. Staff was polite very gracious. Even the people were friendly.

Inside there are two bars and DJ booths. Stage for entertainment. Outside is a beautiful smoking area w lined seating and standing area great place to tape and conduct live interviews.

We recommend this place to any media team. Bodegas Amarillo with the Red Doors.
