Pleasantly surprised by how good the salad was for "bar food". Even more excited to learn that all of the NFL games were playing for those of us that didn't want to dance. Overall, the bar was entertaining for many of us in our group with multiple activities (dancing (instructors available beforehand), drinks, pool, etc.) or simply people watching. A great variety of music was played, as well!

Dj JT is biased. To the singles I've experienced as soon as he knows ur NOT single or ARE married he will ignore every request you put in. Extremely polite but will not play your song if he realizes he has no benefit, DJ Cobie is an angel and amazing, makes sure every song is played, I wish JT was gone he's not disrespectful but extremely inconsiderate I'd rather cobie than him on a saturday

Busy for my liking. I didn't order food. Nice atmosphere, love the music (country bar). Service depended on seated area and location. Don't care for the billiard tables being in the smoke room, wish they weren't!

I've been there a few times now and always have a great time
The French girl in me was amazed the 1st time I went there cause it's so American! I absolutely loved it!
I still need to get the courage to try line dancing especially since they offer free lessons.
Watch out when you start drinking though, get a table and that's your table for the night. If you drink at the bar you have to stay there. Rules are rules!

I find myself coming back weekend after weekend to dance. I've never had an issue at this place at all. Other regulars have been really nice and do introduce themselves creating a small community. I always recommend this bar especially for beginners learning to dance, please show to the lessons from 6pm-8pm to get comfortable on the dance floor and break out of your shell. Hope to see y'all there!

Fun place for line dancing and country music. Always a good crowd when I visit. Eclectic mix of people having a good time. You'll see young people there as well as older folks. Plenty of staff I have never seen any shenanigans. Everybody is just there to have a good time. The only complaint I have is a small cup is 4 bucks with one free refill. Just seemed like a lot to me. I know a lot of bars and clubs that will give designated drivers free soda. However, I wasn't looking for anything free, but come on, it seems a little outrageous. On the other hand, the fries and chicken tenders are delicious.

Yesterday was my first time here. Within a couple hours I had five Jell-O shots, two “white gummy bears,” and white claw (I am a lightweight). I was sober the entire time. I’m very concerned that this establishment is watering down their drinks. I’m not sure the validity of this, but I have heard they got in trouble for that exact thing years ago. Stay safe and order only bottles.

Over all good experience, I went to the bar first to grab a drink and the bartender that helped me, Christine, was really rude. She turned around and started making smart comments about my husband and I because i asked her what her favorite item was. i think she forgot there is a mirror behind the alcohol! however our server we had was very nice and the food was amazing. We will definitely be coming back because of our server!

What an incredible spot! The Banque is an absolute gem for anyone who loves a good time and country western music. From the moment you walk in, the warm, inviting ambiance makes you feel right at home.
The food is phenomenal—everything I tried was cooked to perfection, especially the Prime Rib and the steak bites. The drinks? Amazing! They’ve got a wide selection, and the bartenders know how to craft the perfect cocktail.
But the highlight for me is the dancing. The DJ’s are fantastic, and the dance floor is electric with energy. Whether you're an expert two-stepper or just a beginner, everyone is welcome, and the crowd is so friendly.
The staff here truly go above and beyond—they’re attentive, kind, and make sure everyone is having a great time. If you’re looking for a night out filled with delicious food, great drinks, and non-stop fun, this place is it. Can’t wait to come back!

2/10/24- I went with a group of friends and we had a blast. If you want to do line dances this is the place. I was so shocked that so many songs had dances to them. It was crazy to also see so many who knew the dances. They have a small dance area for people to practice. I do wish they would do a song or two with no line dance but I guess that is why you would come here.
There was a 7$ coverage charge. We got there around 10:30pm.
The tables were reserved but we were lucky and given a table after some people left. Our server was great and super quick with drinks/food. We ordered the mozzarella sticks and fries. Both were really good. The bar tenders were also great who helped us before we got the table. I would love to come back after I know some line dances.
