Harold's Honky Tonk Bar & Grill — Restaurant in Gainesville

I had really high hopes. Love the idea of a country bar that has line dancing. Went last night for the line dancing and celebrate my sisters birthday. Got there early so we could eat first. We kept being sent back and forth to tables to be seated. Took forever for someone to come take our drink order. Do NOT recommend any mixed drinks. Apparently they have “Alternatives” as their liquor has a licensing issue. It’s awful! Ordered a margarita and it tasted like mud water. I’ve never had mud water but I assume that is what it would taste like. Asked a different bartender to make them again and it wasn’t until then they we were informed of the “alternative” liquor. This should be told up front when someone orders a mixed drink or advertised on their site and charging people for that awful liquor. Or better yet not serve any liquor until you can get the real stuff. It was not worth the $19 we were charged for both drinks. The bartender was really nice though with trying to explain everything. Which is the only reason I am giving it a 2. We ordered food and it took over an hour to get it. We wound up leaving after we ate and went somewhere else. So disappointed. Hopefully it improves...

We came here for a bachelorette party on December 8, 2018. From start to finish, the experience was awesome! I emailed to ask what we could do to decorate as only the bride is local and everyone else was traveling from out of state. Not only did Robin allow our bride’s fiancé to drop off our decorations, she took care of the decorating! She even sent me a picture before we arrived. It was even better than we expected. When we arrived, the bouncer greeted us with a friendly smile and fun personality. Our bride was overwhelmed when she saw the table! Ashley immediately came over and got to work. She smiled through crazy drink orders and offered suggestions when we were undecided. Robin even sent over complimentary shots! All night, Ashley was on point. She took our pictures, even bringing our drinks to the dance floor. She didn’t miss a beat. The band was fantastic and we just had the BEST time. I cannot say enough good things about this place, and most especially Robin and Ashley. Thank you so much for making a special night so spectacular. I cannot...

BAD MANAGEMENT & CUTOMER RELATIONS! IESHA is the only GREAT EXCEPTION! Just wanted a fun place to have a drink & play some pool. The table started out fine, and others from out of town joined to play. Then the balls got stuck. I asked for help. Waited & waited some more. I asked for more help & this cycle continued on. The other patorns left because they were tired of waiting. The management couldn't help because she didn't have or couldn't find the key. Then she stated, "it's just a pool table" and that I "should get over it" and WALKED OFF from me, only to send a dishwasher out to try to "take it outside" with me. So let me set you straight! "Just a pool table" is all 37 Main has going for itself!!! Cause one "live band" sounds like BAD KARAOKE!!! AND, another country band cover singing about "windows to walls - till swet drop down my balls" is even worse and not worth listening to!!! You lost a party of ppl, and more than a couple repeat customers over this, due to poor management. Go to Mule Tavern, 2 doors down...
