Definitely not the place to go if you aren’t invited by a friend who has other friends. $6 wasn’t a bad price but there’s better things to do. Security wasn’t as rude as I was expecting based on the other reviews (maybe they were talked to.) Be prepared to line dance FYI. Also one thing I don’t understand is if they give everybody over 21 a wristband then what’s the point in marking everybody under 21 with a thick black sharpie line on both hands?

Favorite social place to go. I spent the summer in Collinsville for an internship and was lucky enough to stumble upon this place. Im not the type to usually go out or go to a club but Wild Country definitely has a unique feel to it that makes it very enjoyable. The atmosphere is very friendly to all personality types, and I never felt out of place. I regularly attended on Wednesday for free college nights, and occasionally on Fridays. I never left disappointed.

A cool place full of exciting people. Definitely has its own culture. If youre a newcomer you may feel overwhelmed, especially if you dont know how to line dance. Would like a free dance extension to the dance floor, if that makes sense.

Honestly, the place has just been going further and further down hill everytime I come. Music is more pop then country. $1 beers are now $1.50 beers with only 3 options. PBR, Stag, and Natty light. Its a Friday night and there maybe 100 people here. Its dead compared to how it used to be.

I got nothing but good things to say about the place. Thorough bar/club hospitality; including 3 bars, 1 concession ordering booth, pool tables both upstairs and down stairs, awesome outdoor patio area, and a punching machine. Great crowds, upbeat music, and a very well kept atmosphere. You can usually find me there 1 Friday a month before we make our run to Pops that night.

Not a true country bar!! Great Venue and staff!! DJ sucked and was playing to younger crowd. No couple dancing, all line dances. Which was pretty much hip hop, could be a great place!

Never really had a bad time at Wild Country. Ive been here a couple times over the past year on various nights. The weekends are obviously going to be busier than if you go during the week. Drinks are okay, food was pretty good considering I didnt even realize they had food there until like my third time going there. I personally dont dance but there is always a good crowd on the floor and the music is actually a pretty good variety. All in all, not a bad place to go to it just is a bit of a long drive from where I am located.

Partly line-dancing bar, part club, Wild Country is a unique experience. Come on a Wednesday and see what the fuss is all about.The line dancing here is extremely simple and after going 3 times, you will know all the dances- so its a great place for beginners.

This is the crappiest excuse for a nightclub Ive ever seen. Rude staff, rude people in the club, lousy music, weak drinks, and an overall dead scene. Would not recommend this place to anyone. Its a shame I cant give it zero stars.

Nice staff, hot people, but if you arent old enough to drink it gets kinda awkward. Anyway apparently the Bud and Coors is watered down according to Drunk Cowboy #29 (whos counting) who came up to tell me so. The pole dancing contests are a blast however. Just dont be a douche and hog the pole.

Terrible place. We went to a few small local bars, most had a good atmosphere with friendly people. Decided to go to wild country. There were 3 bouncers outside, they registered about a 6 on my douchebag radar. Then inside, at the metal detector, radar went up to a 7. Then ordering drinks, bartender and customers were beyond a 10. The atmosphere was awful. Thats the last time I will ever go to wild crappy.

I have travelled all over the place and never been to a place quite as crappy as this one. Charlie their bartender is extremely rude and cant handle more than one customer. Id rather burn my money than give him a dime of it.

When we first showed up the staff was very rude while we were going through the metal detectors and paying then when we got inside these “regulars” started stuff with my friends and I and the staff backed them up. Then one of my friends, friend asked for money to go get a drink because he was out and the staff came the second she pulled the $20 out and esorted her out then came and got the rest of our group and told us we had 5 min to leave. It is not worth the $6 to get in if you are under 21, it was completely dead, especially it being a Friday night. Highly recommend not going there!

Fun place for line dancing and having fun with friends. Wednesday college night is a hit with free entry for college students.

Outdated and staff are a**holes. Went for my first night on a Friday night and the first thing I drive up to and see is an old building in the middle of nowhere with a torn up canvas sign with letters that look like theyre straight out of the 80s. Walked in and was amazed to see roughly about 40 people in the club at 10pm on a Friday night. My buddy and I just spent $6 and played pool the rest of the night because we were so bored. Went for my second (and last) time on a Wednesday for college night and got kicked out after taking a breathalyzer test before I could come in and blew a 0.007... I was shocked because Im only 19 and I was driving my friend and had absolutely nothing to drink the entire day or night. After being hollered at and told to get the hell out I asked if I could blow again and I miraculously blew a 0.000 about 30 seconds later. Went in, grabbed my buddy and left. Place is a joke, staff are redneck morons, and the atmosphere is outdated to draw in any young crowd for more than about 45 minutes. Not worth the drive at all.

Horrible 1st impression!I called to speak to a manager and not only was the phone attendant rude and discourteous, she was argumentative and combative.If the manager cant take the time to take a call or at least have the attendant take a message then obviously they do not need my/your business.Customer service is key and this place has changed the locks.

Super fun when you learn the dances. Dont recommend going when the band is there though. Got a college ID? Get in free on Wedensday nights.

Review №29

Theres less security at Lambert. Ive never had to empty my pockets before going into a bar. It wasnt a big hassle though, but as we found out later, they couldnt catch everything. As my friends and I were watching the dancing, we started rubbing our eyes and coughing involuntarily. Thinking it was just stuffy, we got some water and returned to our spot. Our symptoms didnt improve, and we noticed that other people were also crying for no apparent reason. As it got worse, a bouncer told us that someones pepper spray exploded in her purse, so he opened a side door for people to get fresh air, but no refunds.

If youre from Texas this place will disappoint. Nice place but the music is terrible. All pop country. When. I requested cody johnson. Turnpike Troubadours, or Josh Abbott, not only did they not have ANY but theyve never even heard of them. They charge you a cover to get in, and the drinks are pretty expensive. However its the only Dance Hall close to St. Louis. Call first and make sure the Rocking horse band is not playing. They play way too loud and the music is not very good.

Not a bad place, very foggy from the smoke machine and to much rap for a country bar but a big dance floor with plenty of space

Review №34

They kicked my friend & I out because I smelt a drink. She swears on her life that she saw me take a drink & refused to breathalize me. So I politely asked someone else if they could please test me & he did. I passed my breathalizer test & proved her wrong. She still says I took a drink even after I passed the test. So they accuse you of stuff you didnt do. So watch out. They asked if I failed am I willing to wait for the cops. I said yes because I know I will pass it & I did. Sorry but they shouldnt go around accusing you of stuff especially after I passed the test. Yes after 5 years of apperently always being right you finally got proven wrong. Get over it
