Wrong Side 812 — Restaurant in Jeffersonville

My experience only relates to bands who are scheduled to have a gig at this facility.

The venue has a separate enclosed room for musicians to play. While this may be neat in concept, the execution is horrible. Unless you have earplugs with you, there's no way any patron would ever stay for a full song. It's way too loud. If management's not going to change the structure, they need to at least offer easily accessible earplugs going forward.

The bar had music playing in their section while our band was playing in our enclosed room. This choice was questionable as it influenced the customers to stay comfortable in their area and not check out our music. If you're going to have music playing at the bar, why on earth would you ask a band to play for your venue? You can't have it both ways and get a successful turnout.

The storage for your equipment as a band playing a later show is unsafe. We were asked to store our equipment on a patio outside that can be accessed by anyone if they wanted to sneak out in the back. Open to the public. You have to keep an eye on your equipment at all times in hopes no one tries to steal anything.

The bathroom needs to be remodeled ASAP. There's no "sure" way to know if someone else in there. I'd have to bash the door shut if I wanted privacy and security. No customer should have to be fearful when using the restroom.

This review is not in the perspective of a typical customer as I was there to play as a band. I must express my frustrations in hopes for change. Bands need to know what they're getting themselves into when they sign up for a gig at...

Wrong Side 812 is exactly what a dive bar should be. Rough around the edges, nothing matches, the food is greasy pub fare, and the beer list is pretty much “whatever’s cold before the keg kicks.” But that’s the charm. This place (and more importantly the people inside) doesn’t pretend to be anything it’s not. It’s loud, chaotic, full of character, and unapologetically real.

If I wanted clean lines, sterile decor, and subpar drinks, I’d go to Applebee’s. But when I want to sit in a room with three different kinds of chairs, eat a burger or hotdog that drips onto the wax paper, drink whatever cold beer they have available, and pay ten bucks to support a local metal band? I go to Wrong Side 812.

We happened to catch Throwback Thursday the night we went (on a Friday naturally), and they crushed it. Easily one of the most fun, authentic nights out I’ve had in a while.

Long live dive bars like this.

(Side note; the fries were actually really really good. Like both flavor and texture. I don’t like fries normally; they were...

This place was soooo fun! They have a sign that says "buy a round for the bartenders $15". My fiancé fell into the temptation and we had a blast with all the bartenders. Beautiful people arrive there, beautiful staff works here, and they have a nice closed in patio where they have kareoke. The drinks are cheap, they have a decent selection of beer. They have pool tables as well. The tables take quarters ($1). We stayed here until they closed. They have a HUGE parking lot across the way. This was a nice little travel from where I live. Cool to get across the 2nd street bridge to get...
