Dirty Dawg Saloon - Manhattan, Kansas

Curly headed bartender I think her name was Baylee was standing around and ignoring customers while the other bartender was working. When she did finally start helping she had an attitude with the customers around me and was very rude to them.

I observed underage people getting dangerously intoxicated. When asked, bartenders at both bars refused to supply water, citing the decision of management. This place should be put on notice and shut down if they can’t maintain a safe environment. Truly horrific.

I’ve been here a few times because my friend loves to line dance. First time one of the punching machines ate my $5 and when I told someone they said it’s been doing that all night but it’s from another company and they can’t refund me. That’s fine, but maybe put up a sign? The last time I went they told me it was $2 for water, even tap water. I don’t know if it was that particular bartender or if they actually charge for tap water, but that is crazy.

Really fun place to dance. Always a great crowd. I’m giving two stars because of the management and bouncers. I have had multiple bad experiences with the bouncers thinking they are law enforcement. My friend got free drinks for a week because he was assaulted for dancing with a girl that a bouncer liked. The security needs a huge reality check.

The swing dancing is wonderful! They play a mix of mostly new and a few older country. If you want an open dance floor, go earlier in the evening. The line dances are great later in the night:) 10/10 would recommend.

Great atmosphere if you like a country bar, the 4 pool tables allow for plenty of people to play and there is plenty of outdoor space. Bartenders are awesome and always trying to smile even when overwhelmed with people. The owner does everything he can to be fair if he has to have his bouncers step in and doesnt discriminate on who he has to remove. All in all great place to enjoy a night out. Personal note if your looking for the best mixed drinks in the house ask Tiffany!

A Dry Experience at Dirty Dawgs

There's a certain expectation when one visits a bar - to enjoy a night filled with fun, laughter, and a sense of camaraderie. Unfortunately, my recent visit to Dirty Dawgs was far from this picture, with the establishment falling short in an area that is fundamental to their business - hospitality.

Firstly, it's important to note that this bar charges a heavy $20 cover fee for minors, a fact that left me with raised eyebrows. But what truly spoiled my experience was their policy of not providing free tap water.

When I, the designated driver for the evening, asked for a glass of tap water, I was asked to pay $2. The justification? They don't 'make money on minors' - an explanation that seemed rather odd considering I wasn’t a minor and they already charge minors a cover fee.

In a world where we are trying to promote responsible drinking and the critical role of designated drivers, Dirty Dawgs seems to be swimming against the current. Charging for tap water, a basic commodity, and especially to those ensuring the safe journey home for others, is simply not in good spirit.

This isn't about the $2, it's about a principle, a principle of basic hospitality and respect towards patrons. At Dirty Dawgs, I felt this was sorely lacking.

A bar is not just about the drinks it serves, but the atmosphere it fosters and the respect it shows to its patrons. Sadly, my experience at Dirty Dawgs left me thirsting for a more hospitable environment.
