    Racist as hell. Blonde bartender claimed I caught an attitude after speaking up because she “couldn’t hear because it was loud”. She then said “try your luck with another bartender” & walked off. I followed her and told her I only spoke louder because she claimed she couldn’t hear me, she then called security to kick me out. I’m glad because I was about to spend ALOT of money in an establishment that doesn’t even like my kind. Hope she had a good time picking up the stuff I knocked off the bar on my way out! ❤️ Thank you!!!!

    Pay attention to these reviews. This place is not for everyone, and they do a great job of letting you know it's not for you. I disregarded the reviews here and decided to go. I found out the hard way that all the reviews are correct. This is a place that is stuck in the time of the old ways of old Alabama and not what they're trying to grow to become. Yes the music is attractive but, it's not for you. "You" being whats understood , don't need to be explain

    THEY ARE RACIST!!! After attempting once to head inside with my friend of color they turned him away and he went to the car to change because he was breaking a overdramatic dress code they let him in once. After days upon days of me going and having to change my outfit I eventually brought my friend back and suddenly there was yet again another issue with his outfit, so he changed and they refused to let JUST him in because they said you only get one chance to get in which is very much not true because I had had to change Multiple times(I am white) so absolutely disappointed!DO NOT GO HERE

    The bouncers here are “intellectually and developmentally disabled” to put it nicely. My girlfriend was having a tough night after a death in her family and was intoxicated. I specifically asked the scrawny bouncer to help me out so that I could get her home safely and help her sober up. The trashy bouncer gave me a feces-eating grin and stamped her hand and admitted her into the bar. To say they are incompetent is an understatement. This bar and its employees prey on the misfortune of others. Avoid this place at all costs. EDIT: Since the owner chose to respond—prohibiting people to enter on the basis of their race and skin color is “very controlling and very creepy”. Racial discrimination is unacceptable. Your bar smells like stale urine and your bouncers are puny rednecks that could use a gym membership. How you can afford to keep the lights on in 2023 is beyond me 😂

    So for 2 years straight I've been able to get into Sammy T's no problem, but recently in the year 2020 I haven't been able to get in. Last time I tried to enter I was declined at the door for wearing baggy pants like I was wearing windbreakers. Before that my cousin was denied for ripped jeans and I tried to be reasonable, but when we came back with a new pair of jeans he was denied again for White shoes. People I live around the area and I know it gets boring, but there's so many other places to get drinks and an establishment that's "picky" doesn't deserve your time or money. Please take this review into consideration and take care.

    this place has always sucked and been grimy. Huntsville needs better bars/clubs than this that people actually want to go to. I refuse to step foot in this place ever again. And the racist stories just confirm that even more. I can’t. Everyone stop giving your money to this establishment so it will close down. I always thought it might get better over time. No it sucks and hopefully Huntsville will open better nightlife establishments in the near future.

    This club should be shutdown. All the Security guards at this club should be fired. This club is very racist

    Fun place to go hang and dance with friends, but terrible management. Women can go in there wearing whatever they want(which isn’t a problem), but they’re strict on guys. Me and my friend got denied because we were wearing a white shirt and it was supposively “gang affiliated”. They also wouldn’t let me friend in because he had a couple of holes in his jeans. Guys can’t wear jerseys in there either. The DJ will also play the same songs over and over and it just kills the vibe. Overall a 3/10

    Me and some friends went to this place on Friday March 10, 2023 & it was the worst experience ever ! I have never experienced RACISM since I been in Huntsville. My friends was denied because they had red in their shoes and ripped jeans. Then when we ask the security guards what wrong with our clothes he said read the policy & it will tell you. The rules for this club is for BLACK PEOPLE ONLY. I saw many white people going in with the same thing on but yet we was denied. I’ll never recommend anyone to go here ! If I could leave -0 stars I would !

    This is by far the worst club in Huntsville. I was denied entry for wearing light blue slacks. The guy at the door said I had the wrong color pants on. As I’m looking in the club there were all type of colored pants and clothing that people were wearing. It’s another way of him saying that my skin was wrong color. I noticed quite a few men of color being denied entry. Modern day racism at its finest. So sad it’s about to be 2023😁

    Normally sammy Ts is the place for me but after tonight never again! The stupid dress code sorry I have more style than most people that come in there. And the bouncer let me waste my time and drive 20 mins out the way so I can change and come back to tell me I cant come in once denied entry the first. Mr. Sammy Ts make it make sense!!!

    Haven't been here in over seven years. I got fed up with the "dress code." Ladies have no trouble getting in but man the guys...from the comments it looks like nothing has changed nor improved. It's giving bde 😐 (big discrimination energy). Alabama is known to be pretty religious so we are aware of forgiveness. Turn that review around! Dreatravel Lifestyle Media Voyage Guide.

  • 1/5 rachel c. 9 months ago on Google
    It was my 21st birthday and my bf got denied for his shorts that he was wearing bc he had on athletic shorts. Then we went to are car bc he had jeans in his car we had walked a long way and waited in a long line twice. He got denied the second time. Bc apparently once u get denied the first time u can’t get in. I honestly wish someone would have said something to us instead of wasting our time and honestly the security guard was really short and rude just wanted some type of power. Do not go here.

    This place might be the most racist place in Huntsville Alabama. The dress code is understandable if it was a place of class, but it is not it is full of underdressed security guards that think they are better than God himself. Let me start with the first week I tried to get inside. I was wearing red and gray SB Nike Dunks(picture below). The security guard said to me that the shoes had exotic colors and I couldn’t get them. When a white woman in an all-red sweater walked in right passed security I asked if is red an exotic color or if is it just an exotic color for black men. He proceeded to say the dress code only applied to men. I knew then that their racism was in full effect. I came back a few weeks later and made sure my dress was up to code to these ridiculous standards. The same security guard stopped me and said my JORDAN 11 “cool greys” (pictured below) were patent leather and they were too shiny. I debated with him for a while and asked for his manager. The guard flagged down the police as if I was stealing or robbing him because I asked him to speak to someone above him. He also stated, “how dare you tell me what I can do”. This statement made it seem like he was in a hierarchy and I was less than them. Jim Crow has been abolished for years now but places like this still enforce some of the same rules. They need to be shut down and bought out by people who want to have a good time and want business from all shades sizes and colors. STAY AWAY FROM THIS RACIST SLEEZY PLACE.

    Very sexist dress code. My friend (female) and I (male) we’re both wearing sleeveless shirts, but was denied entry because men aren’t allowed to wear sleeveless shirts apparently. The music was mostly the same. Not much variety

    They discriminate based on people’s color and ethnicity. Will not let you in unless you are like them. The owner of the bar could not give me a reason why my friend from another country could not get in.

    RACIST! This club makes their own dress code specifically for blacks. We were let in the BACK door because one of my friends had on blue shoes. There is NOT a great mix of music only music for mostly Caucasian. Do not recommend going here, DO BETTER HUNTSVILLE.

    Very racist discriminatory club. Crazy a place like this can exist in Huntsville, which is often said to be the most tolerant city in Alabama. This place needs to be closed down or heavily investigated, bans non white people under the pretense of “dress code”. The dress code shouldn’t even be a thing considering how trashy the place is inside, with urine covering the floor and trashy workers who desperately need a hairbrush.

    PSA!!! To any black male thinking about having a fun night out, this isn’t the place for you. They will find a way to deny entrance!

    Very dehumanizing experience at Sammy's. The dress code is absolutely deep seated in racism and prejudice against unique and queer people. Staff was extremely rude and condescending. This is not what Huntsville is

    Went to the Halloween party tonight at Sammy T’s. My girl had two Michelob Ultras and I had one coke. The tab was $17.59. I realize inflation is taking its toll, but this place is taking it to the extreme. I’ll never give them another chance to overcharge me.

    I've never been here since I don't drink, but I do regularly walk around downtown and have been given dirty looks by management, staff, and owners while walking by in hijab. I've had countless friends denied entry for "dress code" which is pretty obviously code for being Black. Usually I don't like to review businesses I've never been to but I've had enough negative interactions with staff, enough friends insulted and discriminated against, and enough embarrassment from living in the same city as this disgusting place. Before you waste your time at Sammy T's, go instead to Phat Sammy's where diverse clientele are treated with respect

    This place discriminates and the rules are contradictory. They will not allow men to bring in a small shoulder bag, to keep cigars in, but they would allow women to bring in purses, And they also do not allow you to smoke Cigars inside but they allow you to smoke cigarettes and blacks n milds.

    The male bartender that's closer to the dance floor steals money from you by lying about drink prices only to black people and he doesn't put liquor in the drinks ,I was charged 47 dollars for three 7dollar drinks , yeah he charged me more than double but you know krama is my boyfriend so let the fun begin.

    I’m from out of town and the DJ is cold! He played so many different genres of music and I love it. However, the bathroom is horrible. Omggggg it was so bad. It was like women was peeing on the floor. The entire place was wet due to spills and nobody trying to clean up. Drinks should not be allowed on the dance floor. The entire place was wet. I couldn’t believe no security was by the large crowds of people. So many people kept falling on the floor and one day the wrong person is going to fall and a lawsuit will happen. I hope they get a cleaning crew and be more aware of what’s going on inside the dance hall. Overall, the vibe is amazing. I’ll come again when the bathroom get better lol.

    It's wrong a guy can't have rips in his jeans with patches but girls can have fully ripped jeans with skin busting out.beer way over priced 5.25 for a bud light. And it's always full of kids if your not 21 why are you there you can't drink

    I’m from another state, came here 3 times and the little leprechaun security guard at the door wouldn’t let me in because he’s a racist. All these rules and regulations like the club is in Miami on Collions 😂 cut it out this is a juke joint. Every reason he said I couldn’t come in the club I saw a white person with the same thing on and was welcomed with open arms.

    First time going, idk if it was the shot of vodka that I reacted bad to (I can handle my drinks), or maybe someone in the crowd was sick, but the day after I went there, I was horribly sick with a headache for 4 long days. Club was mid anyways, no one really started dancing till the last 2 hours (they closed at 0200), DJ was bad, crowd looked bored tbh. Just overall didn't like the place, bored crowd, and mid music. There's better places.

    I see the owner won’t respond to any of the reviews about racism. To be perfectly clear the atmosphere, if you are black and can even make it in ; is great because they play our music and pop music. They let few blacks in but you definitely have to look the part to get in ;while they let white people in looking tattered with no problem. This girl literally got in with holes in her sweats and the bottom of her sweats looked like she just walked through mud but you won’t let certain clothing on a black person in?? A change needs to happen for real. You can tell the people in the front hate letting blacks in because their whole demeanor changes , even if you smile and speak. We like different types of music, we like interacting with other people with different backgrounds and ethnicities. Stop treating us like we’re not welcomed and if not make it clear and put a sign up . Be bold if you’re gonna be racist . Your bold in your disrespect towards us in person . Let’s see how long this place last once the right people see this. Other people know people in high places as well. Be aware of who your disrespectful to and show kindness to everyone no matter there skin color .

    Do. Not. Go. They are extremely racist and kicked my friend out simply for being black. The tried to take her very real I.D. This establishment needs to be shut down. I called and my call was declined every single time. Stay away.
