MoonShine Nightclub — Restaurant in Fremont

We heard one of our favorite bands, The Menus, were performing at the Moonshine Nightclub in Fremont and we decided to make the 3 hour drive to see them on St Patty’s Day, Sunday, March 17. We were very impressed with the MoonShine Nightclub, it was decorated for the holiday and they had a performer dressed as a leprechaun handing out beads while greeting us at our table. His name was Crazy Bob and he was very entertaining. This was one of the smaller crowds where we’ve seen the Menus perform and it was nice because we got a table up front and were able to dance. The Menus knocked it out of the park, awesome performance and they were interacting with the crowd. It was Crazy Bob, the leprechaun that really made the night for us. Between sets, he performed a couple contests with the crowd. Lots of laughs! It was funny watching our friends entertain us, we haven’t seen a bar that had contests like this in years. Bravo Moonshine Nightclub and Crazy Bob! I wish we lived closer or that we had a place like this where we live. The Moonshine Nightclub was very clean, bathrooms were new and well maintained, nice lighting for the band, and mood lighting throughout the bar. There were lounge areas for relaxing with groups of friends. Several games and a pool table too. The service was good and friendly, even had bar tenders come out to our table to check on us. We had eaten before arriving, so I don’t know anything about their food. There was a food truck when we arrived, but it left early. It was cold and windy outside and I didn’t see anyone in line for food when we arrived. I would highly recommend the Moonshine Nightclub in Fremont for a night out with friends. And watch for the Menus performing...

This was my go-to spot for going out basically since they opened but recently management has approached several of my friends to arbitrarily impose selective bathroom restrictions. I dont think I can bring myself to go back! Apparently some customers had complained about certain people being able to use the bathroom and instead of trying to finding a solution to appease everyone (like offering the alternative bathroom options that were forced on my friend), management decided to take some grossly discriminatory actions. After the first instance, my friend had talked to them about the issue and voiced their concern. Management assured her that they would discuss a better future option and instead came up with this spontaneous bathroom policy which forced certain people to track down a specific member of management to accompany them upstairs to unlock a single stall bathroom! Coming to this "solution" feels very malicious and discriminatory on Moonshine's part, though I hope it's a horrible case of extreme ignorance (still no excuse in the age of Google but still). They could have easily offered for the folks habing the issues and lodging complaints to use the upstairs bathroom instead of targeting people who were not hurting anyone. I understand that it can be challenging to find solutions that keep all guests happy but Moonshine has beyond drop the ball on this occasion. The atmosphere seemed decent and friendly when I had gone before but with this kind of response, my friends and I no longer feel safe visiting this establishment. I sincerely hope Moonshine can learn from this injustice and adjust their policies but I seriously doubt I'll ever feel comfortable stepping...

This is an awesome looking place as soon as you walk in. There’s lounges, tvs, games, a bar, and tables to sit and eat. The food is amazing!!

Just know that there is about 4-5 bar staff but most just stand around talking. When ordering to eat there they do not walk up to you at your table you order the meals and drinks at the bar and then go sit back down. We came for 2000s night last night and got there about an hour and a half early, so it wasn’t busy at all but we still stood at the bar and had to wait 10 minutes for someone to walk up to us and say “you need something?” So we could finally order food. If you offer a pretty nice selection of food I would’ve assumed you actually had a waiter/waitress, but that’s fine. After the event started it took an hour out more to get served at the bar. Most of the staff was complaining and talking with each other and a couple people at the bar or serving people that just walked up rather then people that have been standing there with money in their hand trying to get their attention. They weren’t very friendly either. & I can understand an event like this could be stressful so I could excuse it if the service didn’t also suck when it wasn’t busy at all. The food did get done fast though so I’ll give them that too! The atmosphere was amazing. The group was mixed of all types of people. Older, middle aged, younger, & everyone was just vibing together. It was an amazing time with so many good vibes from everyone there. Definitely...
