Worst experience ever ! We paid for a party of 6 people and the birthday was NOT ALLOQED INSIDE because he had a sleveless shirt. Although I quite encounter led at least 7 other different women with no sleeve whatsoever attached to their body. Obviously we flew out out of New York for jo reason , just tried to enjoy the ambiance we were told was absolutely great here but was the OPPOSITE !

Terrible experience, they kicked out my friends because they "looked too young", even though their ID's we're valid. The bouncers were rude and threatened to call the police. Would not recommend. It's a wannabe country bar. Terrible

For some reason, not sure if she was the owner but they randomly decided my ID wasn't real. Even though, I've been there 2x before & even after having it verified by the cops that were standing outside. The group I was w/ was able to get in, all the same age. Couldn't give us a legit reason as to why they thought my ID was fake but it definitely wasted our time. Would give 0 stars if I could.

I’m 21 and they almost didn’t let me in. If they aren’t going to let actual 21 year olds in, then they need to get a police scanner. They were SO rude. Very disappointed especially since I am newly 21 and have waited 21 years to be able to go to places like this and then get harassed and interrogated by the bouncer because he doesn’t believe I’m 21. Will never recommend this place to anyone ever.

Owner is HORRIBLE. Kicked people out for spinning out of a line dance. I witnessed the bouncers get up in a girl's face and grab her arm and assault her. The owner called us several horrible names for literally doing nothing wrong. This woman needs to be checked into a mental facility and definitely not owning or managing a bar with alcohol that may further impair her sense of reality. If you want a good country bar with a way bigger area for line dancing, definitely go to the Ranch!

Really nice place. Friendly personal, live music and DJ . Nice party place with good drinks and fun . Highly recommended . If you are in the area just stop and spend a Friday or Saturday night here .

Worst bar I have been to in Cape Coral. Had to go through a full TSA screening with security asking extremely personal questions, patting us down, had to go through a metal detector, get a picture taken, and my purse completely searched with extremely rude security and bar staff even before I needed to show my ID to get in. I was yelled at by a bartender when I went in the wrong the direction to find the bathroom. Will NEVER come back here. Not worth it, save your money! One of the worst bar experiences I have ever had.

As many have said, the owner is incompetent and unpleasant. Bathroom attendant is also extremely aggressive. Friend got kicked off the dance floor because he has one leg and therefore couldn't do the "correct line dancing steps" one of the worst bars I've ever been to and I'm a vet in the game.

Great place to go if you line dance! Everyone there having a blast. Younger crowd, beautiful cowgirls wandering around. Caught last call , everyone goes there after 2am as Dixie Roadhouse closes at 3am. Hope to go back soon, earlier in evening and check it out more! Update- Forgot to add had an awesome sausage and cold drink outside at Early Byrds food trailer! Pete the owner and chef is a great guy! Always nice to support great small businesses! Had a blast there on New Years Eve! Great food!!!

Do NOT go here if you look somewhat young. The bouncers will question you and will probably throw you out because you “look young” regardless if you have a real id. Fun place if you look 40. Would not recommend ever!

Definitely don’t recommend this bar if you aren’t white, wearing boots or match their patrons. The concept of the bar is cool. I’ll give them that as the line dancing is cool to watch but don’t step on their floor if you can’t line dance! The security is important at a bar of this caliber however OWNER (lady in pink shirt on 4/29 with ear piece) read your reviews. As they’ve been pretty consistent lately on the way people are treated. You and your bouncers are taking it way too far with discriminating against people and it will not go unknown!! Once the police and owner viewed video they determined that battery charges on my husband and I weren’t necessary as we were the battered in the situation. I will definitely be reaching out to local news stations/newspapers in the area.

Wouldn't let us in because they lumped us in with our friend who was to intoxicated. Even after waiting outside to make sure she was safe and into an uber they did not allow us to come back inside on my wife's 21st. I understand everyplace has to cover there self against lawsuits and legal action but this was not the case. You ruined a young woman 21st birthday! Well go spend our money downtown ft myers thank you cape.

We paid for a group of us to go in all of our first time there and we weren't in there for 3 minutes before they kicked us out, apparently if you are learning how to line dance you aren't allowed to be on the dance floor, we literally got dragged out by our shirts cause we were trying to follow the crowd in line dancing and a older man didn't like the fact that we weren't In sync with the the crowd on the floor dragged us out and said we weren't allowed back. Not the experience I thought we would get going to such a atmosphere. I don't recommend. They don't like "their type of people"

really enjoyed the awful line dancing, expensive drinks, and smoky environment until the security guard threatened to kick us out and call the cops after we had been there for 2 hours already claiming we had fake IDs. why would they let us in and serve us alcohol if we had fakes? I do not recommend this place if you are under 40. I won’t even mention the guy we saw doing a line a coke.

I tried dancing and got kicked out. Not sure what I did wrong, none of their staff or the managers would tell me. Was a little drunk but was minding my own business. My dance moves are terrible though...

Dixie Roadhouse promised a lively mix of country meets hip-hop, all night dance party, but instead delivered a prisoners entrance, a smoky atmosphere, and service that left us feeling unwelcome and ignored. Entrance Enigma: Arriving at peak hour, we were herded like cattle through two separate lines while the doormen checked IDs and bags. A standard protocol for most bars and nightclubs, although the authoritative tone and "step back" commands felt more akin to airport security than a bar entrance. Then, without explanation, a camera captured our faces, leaving us feeling like mugshots were being taken. Smoke Signals: Stepping inside, the hope for a fun night quickly dissipated. A thick cloud of cigarette smoke hung heavy in the air with the tenacity of a London fog, making the "no smoking indoors" sign seem eerily out of place. As non-smokers we were immediately put off. Barren Standoff: Eager to unwind with a drink, we approached the bar. Despite being the only patrons waiting, we were met with nothing but dismissive glances from the bartenders. No acknowledgement, no attempt to take our orders, just a blatant disregard that made us feel invisible. After repeated attempts to flag them down, we gave up, defeated and disappointed. Escape from Dodge: Leaving Dixie Roadhouse felt like escaping a low budget Western. The experience left us frustrated and questioning the establishment's commitment to customer service. If you're looking for a welcoming and enjoyable night out in Cape Coral, there are definitely other options that offer a more pleasant and smoke-free atmosphere, along with bartenders who are actually interested in serving their guests. *Author's note: On the plus side the 🎶 was banging and the dance floor was packed. Had we not wanted drinks I'm sure we could have salvaged this trainwreck.

I have to start off with this place is amazing! It has a great drink selection (recommend the scooby snack from the bar next to the womens restroom) and wide range of music. The staff is cool as hell and very sociable. Also for all those reading the the 1 star reviews just ignore them there are rules and guidelines and policies for a reason. If your told not to dance its most likely so no one gets hurt because you cant keep up and its not a teaching song. If your thrown out then your probably being obnoxious and can't hold your liquor so please drink responsively.

Gotta love their “sexiest” dress attire for men. Glad I wasn’t allowed in, our group had a better time at Backstreets anyway. On the way home on 4/30 around 1am multiple officers ran into the buidling.

HORRIBLE and demeaning experience. My bestfriend and I are 30 and have been coming here for the last few months. First, they almost didn’t let me in the first time and questioned my ID. Again, I’m 30. The security is insane for no reason but we became acquainted with regulars who taught us a few dances and overall we always had a good time with them. Until a “rent a cop” randomly asked my friend to speak out side off of the dance floor. Confused, she asked why and he said she neeeded to get off the dance floor and go with him. He grabbed her arm which is unacceptable. She wasn’t doing anything wrong, just at the edge of the dance floor trying to learn a dance. When I came up to ask what the issue was, we were both were escorted outside by a crew of rent a cops where the owner met us with complete disrespect. She mimicked me as I asked for a reason for her “security’s” aggressive behavior and if it was policy to take my friend outside alone because he felt like it. Meanwhile, girls are stumbling out of the bar being held up by friends for being over served every weekend. We will not be back and urge others the same. Who knows what that guys intentions were and the arm grab was unacceptable.

Bouncer and owner were incredibly rude they act like they are high on power. Definitely not a club for younger crowds or Hispanic lol. I present my driver license and the bouncer ask for 2nd forms of Id.- WHO IN THE RIGHT MIND GOES TO A CLUB WITH TWO IDS ? The whole thing was discriminatory my tree friend pass and none of them were ask for a 2nd for of Id. Not if they din’t let me in because I’m Hispanic but it was a rude experience. Just let the reviews speak by themselves. I hope this place change to something better is sad to see this culture represented that way by people like this.

Being a local and spending as much money as you do at this place, you'd think the owner and her employees would have some kindness and respect for her customers. Obviously she don't GAF

so I've been coming in here regularly for the last 3-4 months, especially since I got tired of downtown scene and actually wanted to take my dancing little bit more seriously. (I also go to an urban dance studio around the same time for reference). Staff here from the bartenders to securities are always professional and very attentive to what's going on. Lot of times you'll see security step in when people gets way too drunk. As far as music goes I recommend coming in Wed if you want to practice little bit since crowd is smaller, Friday and Sat is when you want show off your moves since lot more people just come in and watch. They do mix it up around midnight with top 40 and throw back, but you can always request songs you like. Hopefully I'll see y'all on the dance floor :)

As a 4th generation Floridian, this is the most disgusting bar I've ever been to. The LIB TARDS here are absolutely unbelievable. Now when I say this, I'm referring to management, The bartenders try their best . It's sad to see a place that has some potential go in the wrong direction.

Wonderful owner and employees! I brought my 80 year old grandma there to have some fun! They were so cute and carded her which made her day, the owner approached us as soon as we walked in and told us if we need anything to let us know. A security guard also cleared a path for us to exit. It was a wonderful experience for her! Thank you to all the employees and owner for being so considerate and making sure she was safe!

Staff was cool and so was service, but the dance floor was typical boring. Also, to answer Mr Doe's review, Dixie Roadhouse was inspected by the FBI in October 2020, and was cited for allowing what is known as dance floor grinding, which was criminalized nationwide by Congress in January 2020. Federal law now is 8 feet minimum between dancers, at all nightclubs nationwide. Five minutes of something other than line dancing is the very most this place can get away with. The federal authorities are still cracking down nationwide on dance floor grinding, and numerous other clubs have been shut down by the FBI for dance floor grinding and numerous patrons at other nightclubs arrested. The United States is a strictly line dancing only nation.

If you are visiting from out of the area, you may not consider this much of a country bar at all. From open to 11 pm, they played half hip-hop/pop songs. The other half were mostly pop country songs. An occasional decent country song was thrown in. The DJ was nice enough to take one of my requests after tipping a few bucks. Don’t come here expecting to hear any George Strait or Alan Jackson. Most of what goes on here is line dancing. There’s very little opportunity to do any other form of country dancing, like two stepping. I’ve had this same experience at pretty much all “country” bars in south Florida, so maybe my standards are too high for this area. Also, I stopped by the live music bar next door and the woman who was checking IDs was extremely rude and unwelcoming.

We visited the Dixie Roadhouse, and unfortunately, they were closed. The manager that was there took us for a tour of the place. It is great. The dance floor is huge. The atmosphere looks great and we are definitely going back. Looks like a real fun place! I highly recommended this place.

Came here one night with a group of friends as Florida started to open up. Short older woman who was the manger was very friendly to me as well as security was cool. Bar lady was rude to me and rushed me to order. The drinks were seriously overpriced, your paying for the 95% ice and 5% drink. They might need a better DJ to mix some music. . It’s a hole in the wall place, pretty much the last club you’d wanna come to. Recommend if you wanna overpay for an sweaty overcrowded dance floor.

for some reason the. bartender was extremely RUDE ! she accused me of not paying my tab, meanwhile half the table was going to the restroom!! and yelled at me saying “i wasn’t going to pay her”. luckily we paid our tab in cash and walked out. was the WORST experience ever at Dixie. the bartender was short, blonde with a small pony tail. in no defense am i trying to get you called out but you weren’t kind and extremely judgmental. you deserve to get called out. do better.

Pub Crawl review... to get in takes a little time but it's worth it. They record your drivers license and it keeps the undesirables in check. The staff was friendly, polite to a senior citizen like me and the drink was just o.k. Large place , line dancing lessons , definitely a place we will try again.

Dixie Roadhouse is a wonderful country-western bar that offers a relaxed and enjoyable atmosphere for people to unwind and have a great time. The bar is known for its line dance lessons and well drinks, which are a hit with customers. The staff is friendly and attentive, ensuring that everyone has a fantastic time. One of the standout features of Dixie Roadhouse is the impressive ratio of women to men, which is 4:1. This creates a welcoming environment for all, and the energy in the bar is always high. Whether you're looking to dance the night away or just enjoy a few drinks with friends, Dixie Roadhouse is the perfect destination. Overall, I highly recommend this bar to anyone looking for a fun and lively night out.

A lot of very attractive people enter the building and are here right NOW! That's all you need to know!

Been here 3 times and everything was fine. Tonight the security noticed a small scratch in one of the guys’ ID. Didn’t let him in. When we told the guard we got in with the same ID several times he answerede rudely; «I guess I gotta fire someone then». He also asked for the guys name again to «run the system» on the security who let him in earlier. Both a snitch and a bad person overall. Recommend his collegaues to quit. Greetings from norway.

Only 5 minutes of party music the entire night!? And then right back to endless line dancing. If you like endless line dancing for 8 hours straight except for just 5 minutes of party music, and I mean literally and seriously, 5 minutes of party music and then promptly back to line dancing with the DJ counting at the start of every song, then Dixie is the place to be. Otherwise, it's a good place to visit or meet up with someone and watch the line dancing (which tends to get boring after about 1 to 3 hours), have a drink or two, but not much else. They seriously need a lot more party music and party time. Just 5 minutes is not enough party and freestyle dancing for us, it's supposed to be from 11 pm to 3 like it was before. Security here makes you feel like you're in Detroit. They unfortunately no longer have food anymore as they lost their kitchen with the sale of the Rockade, plus food trucks now are illegal in Cape Coral.

Good for Dixie Roadhouse and management. I do want want to go into the Ladie's Restroom and find that I am next to a man, masquerading as a woman. That person can use the "family bathroom", or the handicapped facility. Until the identification is changed, you "are" what your ID describes.

I love the atmosphere. Getting in the door is difficult and everyone must have a valid id. I am 40+ and they scammed it several times and delayed my entry. There is a fun spin the wheel game and Wednesday night is always a fun night to be there. This is a great place for all ages and I love to watch everyone line dance. They play more than just the typical country music/ good mix of top 40 songs too. Some of the female bartenders are rude.

Staff was friendly, and the music was better than at most other clubs, but that endless line dancing and the DJ counting at the start of every single song gets boring after about an hour. It has gotten to where anyone who wants old school social dancing is going to have to teach themselves how to old school social dance to today's country music. Best area to practice is that part of the dance floor close to the elevated stage. And remember, in today's times in the United States, it's her job to ask him to dance with her, exactly like at Lookers. In Mexico and most other similar countries, it's his job to make the first move, but in the United States today, it's her job to make the first move.

I have been to this bar twice and both were horrible experiences. Once you might think it was a one off but two personal experiences plus the many other reviews noted here will hopefully steer people away from having the same terrible experience. The first time my friend and I were followed around the bar by a guy who refused to take no as answer- we told him no on four separate occasions to buying us drinks and after the fourth no, he went to the bar after we ordered drinks, found out our order from the bartender and brought us drinks anyways. We refused them again and left feeling creeped out. The second time, I was denied entry because I have a disability. Their “security” does nothing to keep this bar safe but they do discriminate against people with disabilities.

I don’t understand why people are saying they got kicked out because they didn’t know the dances. I have gone for at least 2 or 3 years and have learned most of the dances from the experienced dancers and the lessons they do most nights. I’ve only seen people get kicked out if they are intentionally trying to not learn the dances and getting in others way. Sometimes the service from the bartenders aren’t great and if you order water some of them roll their eyes at you and take their time in getting you water but it is still a fun atmosphere that welcomes everyone.

I felt in love with this place , but like always nothing good with word but. Security is dumb ,they kick out me for simple think - I get out to smoke outside (is what we do back in Chicago) and they don't let me back and same time kicked out my friends who come talk with security.

I was escorted out for absolutely no explanation. I’m not confrontational, but I did ask. No reason other than “you have to go”. You pushed me out of your bar. I’m a travel nurse. I came with friends. And felt randomly picked. It was very odd and uncomfortable.

The security guards are clowns. They went through my wallet, removed all my credit cards, rifled through my cash, just to get inside the bar. I told the moron to give me my wallet back and I left before going inside. There are way better places to spend your hard earned money.

Great Location and alleyways Fun!! Good Food and Drinks!

Great place for a night out with friends to dance. Bartenders are all great, DJ is on point, and security keeps the trash away as best they can.

Went on Veterans Day, army veteran, guy at the door refused to let me in with a cracked license. Complete nonsense. Veterans should avoid this establishment at all costs

Love this place. Great atmosphere nice people, fun times good music and memories

I heard you play rap music forget about it creates violence

Absolutely incredible and welcoming atmosphere, these low reviews definitely don't do it justice!

This was the one of the worst experiences I’ve had in a long time. We had Junior and Gus (who was in training). Gus had personality, Junior not so much - he was the worst. Seemed upset that we started with drinks and only ordered an appetizer to start. Gus took our order, which came out correct but mine was cold. No one would know because for the rest of the meal no one came to check on us. I went the entire meal without a drink. Tried getting someone’s attention, but nothing. WILL NOT BE GOING BACK! The worst, go elsewhere and save your $$. Place has gone downhill.

Dixie Roadhouse is never a let down, Wednesdays and weekends are always phenomenal experiences. The line dancing lessons are very fun, bartenders are great! Wednesday night drinks are $3 wells for everyone, no cover, be careful!

We decided to bring visiting friends to Dixie roadhouse. Such a terrible mistake! We didn’t get farther than the front door. The guy checking ID’s asked if he could look in my bag to check for a gun. I get that. Then he actually started rummaging through my bag and poured my ibuprofen into his nasty dirty hands. I had 2 Tylenol as well in there. He made me through those away. No problem, they all got thrown into the trash. Then proceeded to interrogate the young lady we brought. I’m all for safety, that’s ridiculous.
