Moontower Saloon — Restaurant in Buda

If I could give it a zero I absolutely would!!! I went there with friends and my dog. We were all having a good time, catching up with old friends and people constantly kept coming to my dog and telling me how beautiful she is and how well behaved she is. She's only 1 year and 2 months and very well behaved. After a while, this very rude individual named Chad approached our table making very rude comments. One of his many rude comments was your dog is having too many outbursts and our place is big enough so you should probably move around! I asked why and he said because she's barking too much. Are you kidding me?? The only time she barked was when a dog went by us because she wanted to play with other dogs. It was a very slow night so there weren't even a whole bunch of dogs just passing by us. Dogs have a way to talk and that is called barking you idiot!! I'm not even sure why he works in a dog friendly environment if the dogs can't even make a noise. Then you should remove that benefit from your venue!! I started asking tables around us if my dog had in fact offended or scared anyone and not one person said yes to me! Matter of fact, they all wanted to pet her and said how well behaved she is.This Chad guy is completely unprofessional and a real jerk to people with dogs!! He also was very discriminating towards my dog. Made comments such as You're by the walkway and I'm not saying she's a bad dog but she could bite somebody!! I'm like WOW!!!! She's not only on a leach but I'm also holding the leach!! If she was going to bite someone, trust me she would have already done that with the many people who pet her that day. I noticed several other dogs inside the place by the bar and outside barking and he wasn't letting any owners have fun!! There was 2 gentlemen who passed my table and saw my dog and made a remark stating we can't let our dog approach or talk to anyone I guess with confused and angry faces!! This is ridiculous... Before we left, I asked to speak to the manager and guess who came out of his cage to talk to us, the same rude Chad!!!! I said to him. Are you the manager and he said yes. I said wow that is VERY disappointing!!! I was trying to hash things out with him and ask questions concerning his rude and unprofessional approach but he kept interrupting me and being very rude once again!! One of the ladies who came and pet my dog earlier was a bartender who was sitting because she was done with her shift and complimented her about her behavior. She was wearing a green dress but her supervisor Mr. Anti dog lover could only see the bad in dogs. You should really consider working elsewhere where animals aren't allowed!!!!!! Someone needs to retrain this guy and he definitely isn't management material. I asked who's above him and he stated no one other than the owners but the owners he said would never talk to people LIKE US!!! Meaning they would never handle a more than...

I have really mixed feelings about this place. I like the outdoor area, nice selection of drinks and seen music here and trivia before but…had some really off-putting experiences with the staff. Especially a few years ago I had maybe one of the worst stories at a bar ever. Which maybe should lower my rating but…I’ve tried giving it more chances. Sadly that one experience will always be in my head. I’ll try not to make this TOO long but, but a few years ago my two friends and I stopped to have a beer here. I had not drank any alcohol before that. Literally a beer (and a light one at that). I had taken my own car and my friends were in another. I left a few minutes before they closed. In my car, I sat there for maybe 8 mins or so trying to figure out a plan with some other friends on my phone. I was looking down at the phone. All of a sudden a little golf cart comes and parks behind me. The guy gets out and says he’s not letting me leave. I was super confused and asked him why he was saying that. He told me he saw me “passing out in my car.” I told him I definitely was not passed out- looking at my phone trying to figure out plans. He told me that’s definitely not what I was doing- he “saw me” and I wasn’t going anywhere or else he was going to call the police because “I was drunk.” I told him I had one beer and he said “alright now you admitted to drinking so you really can’t go.” I reassured him I literally had one drink and was very sober but he wasn’t having it. All of a sudden he tells me that his bartender said I was “yelling at her inside.” I never even went to the bar- my drink was bought by my buddy while I waited outside. And I’m not even someone who yells. Especially at some random bartender gal. I’m a very chill person. I said he must have me confused with someone. Then she came out and said “yeah that’s him.” I felt like I was living in some alternate reality here. I said “No, I promise that wasn’t me, and I only had one beer and didn’t even order at the bar.” But the guy told me I had to get a ride out or he was calling the cops. I’m not looking for some cops to come in this now so I say fine. I couldn’t reach the friends I was with so I paid for a Lyft home, didn’t go anywhere and my roommates drove me back in the morning for my car. It was wild…and has never happened before or anything like it. I WANT to like this place and I know it is probably rare that it happens again, especially since it was a few years back, but…whew. And I guess parking there costs now? Maybe not all the time but the past couple times I’ve stopped in have been. Okay. Long...

I really enjoy the atmosphere and how it is laid out. Sometimes I have had fine service. There was just one instance when I was only texting in my car while parked in the lot and the guy in the go-cart thought I was asleep (from drinking.) I had only met my friends out due to a congratulatory time for my friend. I did not have one drink, due to getting out of work late, arriving late, and being tight on cash as well. The man would not let me leave and would not believe that I was only texting while parked. He blocked my car and said he’d call the police if I left and then told me I was “yelling at the bartender.” I am a very conscious person about my behavior and have great control. Being friendly is something I take pride in. I told him that was false too and told him to have the bartender come out. She looked confused but halfway agreed in a confused manner that it could have been me. I told them my situation and the man wouldn’t budge. I had to take a $20 ride-share out of that place due to my friends already being gone and come back the next day in a ride-share. The security system there is a little odd. Some big bouncer checks ID’s before you go into the parking lot. Haven’t ever had GREAT service. Usually get ignored or they seem miserable, which is not the case at any other bar (the getting ignored part.) If those things were better, I’d rate it 5-stars. Environment is nice. Fire pits and sand volleyball. The staff has just always been unpleasant, and with the aforementioned happenstance, costed me money and time over something that didn’t happen. I may give it another chance but it hasn’t ever been a “let’s go there!” moment since that happened. I get not wanting intoxicated people driving (even though it’s a parking lot at a bar) but... That’s not even what I was doing and still had to leave my car and it was very frustrating and inconvenient when I was running low on cash (one reason I didn’t even have a drink that night.) I want to like this place,...
