Five By Eighty Country Club

A few coworkers and I were bar-hopping downtown and decided to check this place out. Unfortunately, the experience was disappointing from the moment we walked in. Staff members were outside smoking marijuana as we arrived, which set an unprofessional tone. Inside, the music lacked variety. The bartenders were so preoccupied drinking with other guests that I struggled to get service, despite being a paying customer. When I asked about the sticky floors and the condition of the bathrooms (which were extremely unclean), doors would not close. I was met with a shrug and no accountability. Overall…

I have yet to find the perfect mixed drink in Waco, until my husband and I found this place! Not only was the drink perfect, we felt like we had stepped into one of the saloons at the Fortworth stockyards. And to top off a great date night, the bartender was so kind ( don't know his name to give him credit but it was Wednesday night). Thank you and we will see you again!

Love the patio! Bring your dog. The food was ok. I didn't like the fact that the BBQ split was all mixed up. I like my potato salad and beans separate! Prices for drinks are reasonable and service was great. You have to get your own food and drinks.

5/5 for cool decorations and atmosphere. I could tell that the management used their creativity to make a fun space for everyone to hang out. I didn't like that the place was dead on a weekend. Maybe the club needs more advertising or promotions. I liked that there was no cover charge. I could spend my money on drinks, which is still profit all the same to the club.

Worst bar in Waco. Their dress policy tries to get a good crowd but honestly pushes away the crowd they need to succeed. They just want women in tight clothing. I went in a group of 6 and the one wearing the nicest shirt (a nice plain colored, un-collared shirt) wasn’t allowed in because it was not apart of their dress policy. For the first club in Waco, it should be great. It sucks. Please don’t waste your time. I

Bartenders have no idea how to make drinks. I asked a bartender for an Old Fashioned and they gave me a blank stare before telling me to ask the other bartender. The other bartender made me a drink, but it wasn't anything close to what I ordered. When I asked about it, I was told that they didn't have the ingredients for my drink, so they had made something else for me instead.

We came across the Saloon and had the best service! I told the bartender make me something "fruity" and he made me RainWater and its amazing! Ask for Ethan, he's great!

Always hire new bartenders who don't know how to make even the simplest drinks. I ordered a rum and coke and got a rum and sprite. They short you on the occasional drink they do make right. They increased their prices recently which make their drinks over twice as much as other options in town.

Tuesday night live music is amazing. A collection of different artists perform from rock and country. They even had stand up comedy!! Small area but great venue for sure.

Dead with one customer and LAZY staff and no drink selection... if I could have even got a drink. But no...stood at the bar 10 minutes and never got service.... and I was one of two customers. Was there tonight, 08/10/24 and won't ever go back.

Fun environment, always something going on for everyone over 21, ( of course ), dropped in and find you you a comfy spot, enjoy open mic night every Tuesday and singer/song writer every Thursday, and for those of you youngsters out there hip hop night on the weekends! Tell them Tiffany sent you.

Great local bar! The food is very good. The bands they have play are awesome. The outdoor area is great even in the Texas heat.
