I was so excited for to finally be able to experience stampede since I had been anxiously awaiting the opening! Livermore definitely needed a country western bar and my family and I met on Wednesday to take line dancing lessons and experience the place. At first, the ambience definitely resembled a country western bar. The drinks and food were decent. Service was OK. You could tell a lot of the servers were new when you asked questions even at the front they had to ask because they were unsure which is understandable for a new bar, so I’ll give them grace on this Upon arrival around 6:30 the average age was probably 50 for the record I’m 60. Dance lesson started at seven. The music started out kind of country and then they started playing rap and other music that did not even resemble country our whole table even people that weren’t with us and even younger people were like isn’t this a country bar what’s up with this music? We actually stopped even taking the dance lessons because the music was not country as the night progressed around 8 o’clock. It got younger and younger, where it was almost a teenage club and even small children running around the dance floor very strange. When we asked the server how come they weren’t playing country music he said it’s because if the crowd young, they play to the crowd… ok…well the people at tables eating, drinking and spending actual $ sitting eating were older crowd (30-60) but everybody on the dance floor dancing we’re just dancing looked to be early 20’s Ana teenagers!!! I would think that you would want to cater to the crowd that’s actually spending money many people actually left! Very disappointing to visit a country bar that didn’t play country music or have a country vibe at all! I will give it another chance maybe on a Saturday night when they have live bands assuming that would be more country maybe this place is still new and trying to figure it out so I’ll definitely give it another chance but first experience pretty...
Read moreWe stopped in around 5pm with a group of five after another event. Ordered drinks at the bar and later at our table. Service was poor from the start—we had to flag down multiple people just to get food, drinks, and even water.
After nearly two hours of spending a good amount of money, someone suddenly came around with a card reader demanding $10 each for a “cover charge.” This was never mentioned when we arrived or even when we ordered our last round of drinks just minutes before. We were told if we didn’t pay, we’d have to leave immediately. They also refused to let us take our drinks to go or refund them.
After speaking with the rude manager and another server, we were given 7 minutes to finish our drinks before being forced out. They even brought over security. 🙄 Absolutely unacceptable treatment. We are professionals who came prepared to spend money here, but will never return after such a hostile and...
