![]() So, Deirk's only succeeded in ensuring we don't come back and that all five of us would write a bad review. But they couldn't get us out of there fast enough. Furthermore, I think it's reasonable that if you (Deirks staff) acknowledge you made a mistake (by not telling us the table was reserved) then you would try to make it good. Anyway, there was a real disconnect between this sudden surprise and great customer service. He apologized and said as soon as you pay we have other people that will sit here. I told him we just found out that we were being kicked out of the bar 15 minutes ago. To add insult to injury, we were waiting for our waitress to come back with change when a bouncer/security guy came up to tell us we had to leave. Actually the other option was to move to the bar which was now very crowded (the reason we were glad to have the booth) and they took the bar stools out. I could understand if one person misunderstood this little tidbit but there were 5 of us and all of us were shocked to hear we had to leave. But we said no one told us about a reservation and that we'd been expecting to hear the band and see Deirks. She said that the hostess seating us should of told us. ![]() I told the waitress we were unaware of that, that we were expecting to hear the band. We were told that our booth was previously reserved. We anticipated seeing the band at 10 but 15 minutes prior. If we were smart we would've left at that point. Took waitress more than 20 minutes to get us our drinks and 40 minutes after that (1 hr total) to take our food order. Seated in a great booth early in the evening. Just no Country Western music or dancing.Saturday night with hopes of seeing Deirks after his local concert. Food and drinks were great! Dance floor was large. The atmosphere was based on a nice open air area and had a room for kids to play in while families waited to be seated. We did find a very nice restaurant, in a nice town, with lots of parking and a friendly place to have a terrific meal. We did not find that at Whiskey Row Gilbert that night. WRAP UP: Remember, we are country western dancers, looking to two-step, linedance, and WC Swing. Newbies: This is not a place to learn or dance country western dancing. Security: They had lots of security at the door and inside.Īttmosphere: It was very festive inside with lots of people dining and socializing. ![]() It was a Friday night of free style dancing.ĭancing: No one was dancing two-step or line dancingįood: They have terrific food here, and the service was very good.īeverages: Full bar and they had tasty iced tea too! They did not play one country western song while we were there. Last word on that!ĭance Music: When the band, Yankton, came on at 9 pm, it turned out to be very disappointing. Honestly, the dance floor looked like it had not been properly maintained in a very long time. From our vantage point, I could see at least 15 or 20 gobs of gum that had been mashed into the dance floor. When the tables were moved from the dance floor, some napkins and utensils were picked up, but no one thoroughly swept or cleaned the floor. We could see lots of things being spilled on the floor, including food, napkins and utensils. ![]() We were sitting right on the edge of the dance floor for 2 hours. This is an unsafe practice.ĭance Floor Maintenance: Before 8 pm the dance floor is filled with removable tables for dining. We also watched several people dancing while holding a drink in their hand. So, we decided to look around.ĭress Code: No dress code (one review said the doormen got to decide)ĭance Floor: A fairly large wooden dance floor, but it was not well maintained. That’s when the bartender told us the band didn’t start till 9 pm. So we parked, walked in and sat at the bar, ready for a night of country dancing! We ordered some dinner and excitedly waited for the band to play. Before coming here, we read and heard lots about Dierks Bentley’s country western music and Whiskey Row Gilbert, with its large dance floor. The town of Gilbert has a Historical District with multiple restaurants, shops, historical sites, and late night fun. It was so busy, that we had a hard time spotting our destination, Whiskey Row! And this was at 6 pm in the evening, Folks. The Arizona weather in the evenings is awesome in the Fall. When we arrived in Gilbert Arizona’s Heritage District, we were surprised to see lots of neon lights and lots of people and families strolling and sitting in the downtown area. We are excited to tell you all about them. Hi y’all we just got back from Arizona and we visited some interesting Country Western venues. ![]()
