Quick info
About Drifters Country Saloon
On N Bragg Blvd in Spring Lake, Drifters Country Saloon is a bar built around its large pool table area, with eight tables that draw a weekend wait. A full bar runs the room, and the weekend lineup adds line dancing, beer pong, cornhole, and giant Jenga alongside the pool tables. Sunday evenings bring live band karaoke. The saloon operates on a walk-in basis and opens daily, with no reservations taken. It sits in a setting shaped by the nearby military community but draws both locals and service members through its doors. Dogs are welcome on site, making it an option for patrons who bring them along. The format stays casual throughout, centered on the games and the bar rather than a food menu.

Customer Review Summary
Pool takes center stage at this dive bar, with reviewers highlighting the eight tables and describing weekend waits to get a spot, though weekdays are described as chill. Close behind is the activity lineup: line dancing, beer pong, cornhole, giant jenga, and karaoke, including a Sunday live band karaoke session where one reviewer praised the drummer for letting patrons sing or sit in. Several call it a classic small-town dive bar with reasonable drink prices, good vibes, and a mascot dog on site. One reviewer reports being sexually assaulted by a worker and says the bar responded with a 90-day ban for the reviewer rather than any consequence for the employee. Other complaints include a restroom without a stall door, which one reviewer found uncomfortable given a medical need for privacy, and an account of waiting over an hour at the bar while bartenders took their own breaks instead of serving. Service is not uniformly criticized though: one visitor credits an attentive bartender for making their stay enjoyable.

“Had to wait a hour just to get a table to shoot pool which was the reason for coming a 40 minute ride!!! No sir DEFINITELY NOT WORTH IT”
- Jace Scott
“First off, the place itself is great, good environment, friendly staff, and reasonable prices. However, I’m leaving 1 star solely because of the restroom setup. The toilet does not have a stall door, which means there’s essentially no privacy. I have a medical condition and need a reasonable level of privacy when using the restroom, so this made the experience very uncomfortable. If management addresses this by adding a door, I’d be more than happy to update this to a 5-star review. Until then, it’s unfortunately not somewhere I can return to.”

“I love the atmosphere they have line dancing, beer pong, cornhole, giant jenga, karaoke on the weekends, and 8 pool tables! Usually a wait for the pool tables on the weekends when it gets very busy but its usually chill throughout the week. …”
