I have never been to this place. But the pictures on google are of 3 different people. Standing in 3 different times zones. 10 out of 10 don’t recommend

If they played the music they used to it would be packed! They won’t even take any requests because the owners want a certain type of music played! You should listen to the crowd that is coming into your establishment if you want repeat business!

RUDE BARTENDERS. Went there for a bachelorette party and the one bar tender literally walked away when we came up to the bar then another bartender came up and was extremely rude to us. DJ wouldn’t play any songs we requested when we were the only people in there. All around a terrible bar. I highly recommend you never even consider going to this place. Don’t waste your time and take a chance on ruining your good night

My friends and I were treated very poorly at this bar. I’ve called and asked to speak to manager several times and no one will get back to me. This bar along with Hannah’s and Wagon Wheel are all owned by the same company and I do not recommend them unless you want rude staff and your night to be ruined. Never in my life when I have went out was I treated the way I was by their staff.

Im not one to trash a location, but this is the club to go to if you want to get messy. Overall, I would rate this place as NOT safe if youre a female. Its loaded with creepy guys, the kind of guys that make you want to keep your drink covered so nothing gets slipped into it, and the kind of guys that will start grinding up on you out of nowhere. Though if youre looking for the classic packed club experience with loud hip hop music, which we all enjoy from time to time, this is the place. Just know ahead of time what youre getting into.

Never been turned down before wouldnt let me and my girl in because of her shorts??? I mean its a dance club

Drinks are a little pricey, but great music and a good place to meet people on the weekends.

Some friends and I out celebrating a birthday last night, when walking to get into line an officer sees one of my friends and tells the doorman not to let him in.. we asked what the issue was and they just told him to leave with no explanation. Come to find out the officer arrested my friend years ago and recognized him. So our night was ruined, because the officer made it personal! Unsure if I’ll ever go back, or even recommend to others. I’ve been going here for years and never had a friend or myself treated this way and profiled. I hope employees and management read this and does something about it.

Just moved to Knoxville a few weeks ago and I was looking for nice spot to dance, the music was really awesome and they played a nice variety, the bartenders were also awesome and the drink prices were about the same as anywhere else.. I highly recommend this place if you’re looking for great place to dance and have fun!

Loved the experience here! Have to go back and check this place out again!

That bartender in the back was having a bad day and she was so rude about ordering drinks. We ordered 2 drinks and she was getting soo upset saying I ordered 3. Be professional. Dont make such a hassle out of nothing. She kept on saying she was not suppose to smile as a bartender. Lets get a new bartender in here that does smile!!!!!! You would never get tips as a rude bartender.THIS IS A CUSTOMER SERVICE JOB. I was a bartender for years and shes one of the worst services Ive had in my life. I am not going to believe in racism, but pure BAD SERVICE. 2.8 stars for a reason!!! The girl in front even tried to shortchange me 10$Went again and that Bouncer is always an ass. Dont recommend this place at all.

The bouncers are horrible. They wouldn’t let my friend in because he had a “jersey-like” shirt on. No team number or name was on it. Then he I.D me and felt I didn’t look like MY driver’s license. To validate, I was asked what year I graduated high school (I guess he can’t differentiate time) because then I was asked to show my Facebook page to confirm my identity. How stupid can you get. Such a peon. We were with a large group of people and he didn’t see anything wrong with losing all of that money. I will never go again. The place isn’t well kept anyway.

Theres a kinda chubby bartender, white male that is very rude, I think he has anger issues. The place has potential but the some of the staff is corrupt, the security guys at the entrance, the new female manager, the short black officer should all be fired in my opinion

I never go out. I finally do to Southbound on Saturday, just because it was 90s Night. We get dressed up in our 90s attire, stand in line, pay a cover & walk into Taylor Swift playing. How upsetting. I asked the DJ why he was not playing 90s music, he said he did earlier, for 2 hrs. So, I dont understand why it was called 90s night when only 2 hrs of that kind of music was played. I heard not 1 song from that era while I was there. How disappointing. Southbound always lets me down. Thats why I never go there. Yall need a new DJ cuz he sucks! The music is bad at Southbound. DJ is terrible

Anybody that’s been kicked out writes horrible reviews, but it’s a super fun place to dance and grab a drink! They do have a dress code, so dress to impress.

A decent crowd. Music is good. That bald bouncer gives this place a one star cause hes such an ASS!!!!

Drink are a little over priced for the quality. Pours seem to vary from bartender to bartender. Mens bathroom could use some work. Friendly crowd and staff. Good music!

Bouncers are shady. They will extort you regardless of having no clothing policy. I showed up with camo shorts and believe me i have seen worse walk into that club. The bouncer asked for 30 bucks fo entry. Do not go to this place.Add:My friend the other night talked to the cashier about change cause they still owed him money. He was not being hostile in any way. Out of no where the bouncer shoved him aside and away from the cashier.Management needs to get this bouncer situation under control. Your bouncers are reckless and they dont seem to know where the lines are much less do they seem to be able to comprehend a situation before taking action in a controlled manner.

Upon being sexually harassed by two men at this bar, I spoke to the manager regarding the incident only to be completely disrespected with subsequent laughter and eye rolling. I expected more professionalism from someone in a manager position. This establishment would benefit greatly by teaching its workers a little bit about respecting customers.

We started off at Hannas cafe which was great but waiting for the 2nd floor to open for the hip hop music we resides to visit next door to the soundbound club. Which was a huge mistake. We stood in the rain for awhile waiting to get to the door. The people in front of us and the others in from front of them was let to pass without a search. Men and women. When we got to the door they allowed me to pass without a search but due to my husbands nationality they stopped him right away. Asked him to empty his pockets and agree to a pat down. We was shocked about this due to we all had wristbands to get in. I agree the guards there have a huge issue with other races. Which shouldnt be allowed. Im very surprised their still in business seeing as over half of knoxville arent American. We wont ever go there to visit AGAIN. And let me note that its not about being searched. Thats fine thats their job but if your going to search then search everyone who enters. Not just pick and choose who you want to fill up on.

Terrible. Both times Ive been theres been no one there. The last time we went even though no one was there they denied us because one of our friends had Nike shorts on. Keep in mind that we were coming from a local bar crawl in the area. Whats a better way to bring business to the neighborhood then to turn away paying customers who are looking for a fun night? Bad business. After 3 strikes we will not be back again.

The one and only time I went, the security people were absolutely terribly rude. My friend got kicked out for no reason. She got her debit card stolen and they wouldnt let her in to get it back. Cops outside were buddy buddy with the managers and also rude.

Negatives-Overpriced drinks, sketchy atmosphere/patrons.Positives- Decent music and indoor smoking.

Its ok. Friday nights are the best time to go especially in the fall. UT pride! Love it. Saturdays are a little bit crowded and people are too handsy so ladies beware. Overall its a nice place to jus dance. Even if U dont know how.

Good atmosphere, good music if you like rap and hip hop music. Drinks are overpriced, but the bartenders are always nice and remember your drinks each time you go up. Some bouncers are really great, however there’s always one bouncer that sees My id and asks me a million questions, this past time he tried telling me and my fiancé our Ids were fake and almost didn’t let us in. Then we have one bouncer who sees me and says “ya I recognize you, I see you often!” And let’s me right in. I’ve seen so many people get turned away by the rude bouncer thinking he knows they’re so fake when they didn’t have a problem getting in anywhere else! It’s ridiculous.

Came in on business trip and had vip reservations for sat March 11th. Nice place but a few of the security were rude as hell to us , second floor wasnt opened, kept harassing us in vip about every little thing , didnt have our own server like was supposed to so had to go get our own drinks then on top of it we pay $75 for vip and get kicked out and was told to leave after spending about $75 in liquor per person in our group just cause one of them fell sleep on the couch in vip I mean really we are vip and paid for it and he passed out on couch not bothering no one and we all having fun so hell with it we left this was about 130 am and went to another club . WONT BE GOING BACK THERE ! Plus to dang crowded only thing good was the dj there !!!

Terribly expensive drink prices. The music is nothing special. I get the impression the crowd here can get violent quickly (heavy police presence, people fighting with bouncers, etc...). I had multiple rude and confrontational interactions with scummy guys who were disrespecting women. It was not a welcoming or comfortable atmosphere and I will not be going back.

It suck, we was stop at the door ,my husband had a pair of $300 pants on with one little hole thats how they come and he would not let him in ,but u got people in there with boots to there knees and hats on and the shirts . Its not on there Web site ,not from here , they need to do something about the door man he dont like whites ........ if I was the owner he would be gone , and I own two clubs .not professional.

Its a good place to escape from everyday work habits

Dj food musikGood prices in drinks.

That bouncer is horrible. Every time I come, that bald one is so rude. Hell let you in, but he always ruins my night !!! I never recommend this place anymore to friends

Great spot, cool place to mingle, good music as well.

My friend was not allowed in for wearing nike shorts which couldnt be seen underneath her shirt even though i was wearing leggings. there was one person inside.

Good Music but the crowd is a little too hands on for my liking. I had several issues with folks being too friendly with my wife and some of my girl friends.

The bouncers asked a girl to leave and started pushing her and her friends out the door. The place was crowded so I can imagine it was thought for them to leave immediately. Bouncers should not be aggressive, grabbing, and pushing towards women. And the drinks sucked

It is so amazing!!! !!

Nasty

We lit this place like a Christmas tree!

This place is literally where the trash of Knoxville go, there is not a lower bar than Southbound. I am surprised I didnt catch an STD walking in there. It is the definition of ratchet.

The club scene is ok drinks are a little expensive and bathrooms are atrocious

Fun!

Worst experience of my life - a man attacked my wife and the bouncers attacked me as I was rescuing my wife from being choked- DO NOT go to this venue
