Great Music & Hot Bartenders – We boys and I went there last Friday and had an awesome time! The girl bartenders were hot and the guy bartenders were pretty damn cool. A guy bought my friends and I a shot for no reason other than we were trying to have a good time! We are going back again tonight just to hang with the staff!!!
Horrible Staff/ Security – I went here for a girlfriend's birthday on June 6th, 2009 and had a great time until the end of the night. I was in the bar and a fight broke out right next to me and was stuck in the middle, which included me being shoved and my purse and cell phone thrown all over the place. I had no idea who the people were fighting and a guy I did not know was nice enough to help me up and find my stuff. The staff did NOTHING to stop the fight, and when I went outside with a guy friend to explain there was a fi... read more
The writing in the description is as bad as the place – Went here with friends and found it to be rude and awful~since finding this website with reviews, I wish I had known about city search before going to Mad River. Since the majority of reviews clearly speak of how awful this place is, I would have never gone there with my group of friends. All the reviews, except the one or two that are probably written by the owner like someone else mentioned in their review, are horrible and mention how rude the staff is and how awful ... read more
Awesome Music and Atmosphere – Was at Mad River this past Saturday night and had a great time. The DJ was awesome and there were tons of cool people from Chicago and Michigan at this place. Great spot for a private party in the private room which I must say was a great deal for 30 bucks. If your looking for fun-this is a must see.
Regular Patron, Great Staff, Great Food, I always go to Tuesday Trivia! – # Having witnessed this horrible event put forth in the review of Kim 009.....The person in question WAS NOT allowed entrance due to insobriety and was informed as such by the first bouncer. ANDREW didn't say "I GUESS" he said "SURE". I can see why memory fails Kim because "I GUESS" sounds more non committal and strengthens her argument whereas "SURE" is a word commonly used in a sarcastic, dismissive tone...the tone Andrew inflected and was at the hea... read more
Extremely Poor Management and Staff – I went this past weekend with my friends. We got in in line, and a bouncer randomly approached us to tell my friend that he wasn't going to get in but didn?t give a reason. When we got to the front of the line and still got denied, my friend jokingly asked if it was because he was Jewish. Andrew the doorman said, "I guess." You may read this and say that Andrew just wasn't thinking but regardless, he made a gross error in judgment. We asked to speak to the manager and got PJ. We relayed ... read more
Awful, Just Awful - Bad Food, Bad Drinks, Bad Service – I recently spent an evening at Mad River, and I can say, without a doubt, I will never be going back. The food seems to be well covered in other reviews, so I will just say I was unimpressed. The service was atrocious, and when we brought this to the management's attention, they were flippant and disrespectful. I frequent serveral bars similar this, so I don't expect much in the "service and management" department, but the staff at Mad River left such a bad taste in our... read more
Great Food, Great Crowd – I recently met some friends at Mad river on a friday night, we had a great time My dinner was excellent and the bar picked up after dinner and we had a great time. I was crowded but not so bad that you couldn't move. I reccomend this place for a great night out.
Hopefully you're reading all the reviews, not just the first one. – This place was so terrible I had to write a review. After looking at the reviews, it's clear that someone with a stake in the establishment is giving these "not so bad" reviews. This place is simply the worst resturaunt I've ever eaten it. The worst food, the worst service and the worst layout conceivable. I have been once to eat and a few times for drinks and the place is never crowded. The only good thing about this place is television embedded in the wall... read more
