By far the best bang for the buck. In a town surrounded overpriced drinks with no entertainment value this bar really stands out. Especially since everything else has closed! Each month or two they have HUGE acts! I seen Miranda Lambert for FREE here :) Each night is a different thing like Wed 0.25 beer and free line dance lessons. Thur like $1 drinks for ladies. Fri hiphop upstairs and Saturdays they bring 2different professional comedians (Ive heard from comedy central type tour) which is AWESOME! Each room has its own theme Karaoke/sports, Country/pool tables and a dance room that will change according to the crowd. I like the upstairs which you can hear line dances, dubstep or rap depending on the audience and the DJ does live video mixing. so if your not into dancing you can watch the TVs, which we go seem to be these funny videos (MUST SEE). ohh and all the rooms are never a cover charge. Adding a 4th room which is a deck and looks promising. This bar is big on locals and military (Owner is a Marine/retired EOD instructor)... I have been a couple times have met the VideoDJ who doesnt want tips and will make your bday shoutout amazing. Couple bouncers who are chill and some kick ass bartenders.. even met the owner who was watching comedy one night. The UGLY: Fort Walton beach is kind of ratty compared to Destin up tights.. which makes the patrons seem redneck and the girls trashy/easy. This bar somehow still allows smoking??!!?? Bathrooms need cleaned more and updated and towels are out a lot. Final thoughts: This place cares about you, if you, act like a decent drinker you will make a lot of friends who work/go there really easily. Its the last place this area has besides small pubs I understand policing it. They care about their customers, safety and the community. "If ya can stand smelling like smoke the next morning, waking up to a girl you thought was prettier the night before and probably seen garth brooks 10 feet away, twerked on the poles, watched comedians, sang karaoke, rode a bull and only spent 25$ and got drunk ... its your kind of place!"

This place is a joke. Was eyewitness to some bouncer throwing out two young homosexual men this last week. Apparently the manager was too much of a coward to go talk to these two young men himself. They literally hugged a handful of times and kissed maybe twice. Give me a damn break. I saw women dropping low with no underwear on and other women were flashing their breasts all over the place and they kick out the two gentlemen who were there to have a good time without contributing to the pornography that was all over this place. No one had any issues with them and then the bouncer walks over and says "I love gay people. Hell my brother is gay. My manager, however, would like for you two to leave." Are you serious? Last time I checked the Gulf Coast towns, such as Fort Walton Beach, catered to tourists of all races, gender, sexual orientation, and so on and so forth. For a dance club/bar damn near on the beach to discriminate against someone as they did the other night is down right intolerable. So much to catering to all people equally.

They have a deck outside but you cant hear the music out there.... You walk in and pay then there is a karaoke room walk through it get to a country room with a big dancing floor and little places to sit keep going and there is a hip hop room the dance floor is small and in the corner... Music was outdated and wack.. Bartender didnt know how to dress a beer she instead handed me salt and lime to do it myself charging 7$ for 2 beers. Hardly anywhere to dance... It was packed more then the country and yet there was no where to dance there was 2 pool tables in there but they were more in the way this is more like 3 bars in one not clubs. Sucks but whatever not to many places to go here. I will say they didnt have cheap toilet paper lol but they could put some locks on the bathroom doors as they are just magnets holding them closed. I like going out to hear music and dancing thy need to swap the country and they hip hop rooms.

*Tracy Lawrence* was to be singing... Very upset that the concert that we spent $100 to get in (4 people) and several drinks later that we left @9:30pm. Per their website "the show was to start between 8:30-9:00pm". False advertising. I do understand things can delay a show but just let the paying customers know what the delay is instead of playing the radio. (We could gave went anywhere for free to listen to the radio). We drove an hour and a half to get there, arrived at 6pm, ordered drinks, stood on the dance floor until 9:20pm, got tired of waiting so we left. We walked out at 9:30pm and stiil at this point no Artist took the stage to sing. Wont be recommending this to anyone. Very disappointed and will never go here again. Should have been sold out but they let as many people in as possible. Packed like sardines.......

Drinks are on point with surrounding local bars. The drink prices have never gone up in the 7 years I have been going here. Karaoke block has by far the best sound system for karaoke in surrounding counties. Owner is consistent each year with bringing in named artists for country block to perform. Hip hop latest lighting, sound and TVs for your entertainment. Each block has its own different genre of music and age ranges. Smoking is still permitted in the club which could stray some people from entering but overall a great place for locals and visitors to unwind. Hope to see you...

No cover charge before midnight, which is great. The music was decent, and there is a pretty good selection of liquor for pretty typical prices, but it stops there. The bar is a smoking establishment, and it is absolutely disgusting as a result. It is extremely difficult to breathe comfortably inside, and I honestly cant believe that these days there are still bars that have indoor smoking. Also, there is no tap water available, even for our friend acting as a DD. They charge for all water, which I think is a little irresponsible.

While the 3 bars in 1 is a nice slogan, it doesnt matter if you get kicked out. Ive seen people kicked out for "dealing pills" while they were just sitting talking with friends... and not tipping the bartender "enough". SO A WARNING: If you dont tip the bar tenderer enough they WILL find a reason to kick you out. Ive seen people get dragged out by the several hundred pound bouncers before. I would NOT suggest this barclub to my worst enemy. And besides, why go to The Block when there is The Swamp and several other bars close by?

There are many times where I wanted to leave simply because the limits of what patrons are allowed to do and not due to the lack of knowledge of the people who work there due to clouded times of hypocricy. In short, the servers are too in experienced and untrained to handle a very busy social establishement and youll find yourself threatened often to be kicked out for things that are often socially acceptable in other nightlife establishements. Busy bar but terrible staff.
