Reviews Summary

Moonshine generally receives glowing reviews for its lively atmosphere, diverse entertainment (live music, karaoke, games), and friendly staff, with many praising specific bartenders. The venue is popular for events, offering family-friendly options and VIP areas. However, some criticize inconsistent service, including long wait times, billing errors, and poor management decisions.

Customer Reviews

First time for me. They have a elevator for handicap people the food was excellent service was excellent downstairs. They have arcades and cool tables upstairs is a different atmosphere. Very nice.

This was my go-to spot for going out basically since they opened but recently management has approached several of my friends to arbitrarily impose selective bathroom restrictions. I dont think I can bring myself to go back! Apparently some customers had complained about certain people being able to use the bathroom and instead of trying to finding a solution to appease everyone (like offering the alternative bathroom options that were forced on my friend), management decided to take some grossly discrimina

Such a cool lil venue!! We seen Ekoostik Hookah and loved every moment of our experience!! Great friendly staff and a warm welcoming vibe to the whole venue!! Hope Hookah comes back!!

One of the bartenders was discriminating one of my closest friends for simply just using the restroom not bothering anyone. Just existing as a trans person. Just know if you are LGBT, this bar is not a safespace for you. Absolutely disgusting behavior for a place that has LGBT employees.

This is an awesome looking place as soon as you walk in. There's lounges, tvs, games, a bar, and tables to sit and eat. The food is amazing!! Just know that there is about 4-5 bar staff but most just stand around talking. When ordering to eat there they do not walk up to you at your table you order the meals and drinks at the bar and then go sit back down. We came for 2000s night last night and got there about an hour and a half early, so it wasn't busy at all but we still stood at the bar and had to wait

Such a fun place. The bartenders are awesome and friendly, the drinks are awesome, and the vibe is great. i look forward to coming to their big events too!! my forever favorite spot! highly recommend going

I have to stop here every time I come back into town. Great place to hang out on the weekend, especially when Senekka is working. She's an amazing bartender and absolutely made my birthday here memorable. She engages her customers and makes sure they're having a great time. Moonshine is lucky to have her on staff!

It's a very nice place to hangout, BUT the service is almost always terrible. We have had two instances now where our credit card was ?lost? at Moonshine. Our tab was cashed out by someone (we assume) and our card was given to someone that wasn't us. On a persons tab that was in our group, random drinks were added? not one or two but FIVE. After the whole fiasco, a manager didn't even come to talk to us, you would think they would care more about their staff losing a card. We love moonshine but almost every

We heard one of our favorite bands, The Menus, were performing at the Moonshine Nightclub in Fremont and we decided to make the 3 hour drive to see them on St Patty?s Day, Sunday, March 17. We were very impressed with the MoonShine Nightclub, it was decorated for the holiday and they had a performer dressed as a leprechaun handing out beads while greeting us at our table. His name was Crazy Bob and he was very entertaining. This was one of the smaller crowds where we've seen the Menus perform and it was ni

Had the best time of my life! Senekka L was the best bartender I've ever had the pleasure to be served by. Please come by and have a good time!

I come here in the evenings for goth night and other dj events. Great place, great drinks.

This is an $8 sandwich! ?????????? comes with $1 bag of chips. Never again! Decent atmosphere to watch football though. Just eat before hand.

Senekka L. Is such a sweet heart and loving bartender,has the best service ever makes me laugh all the time makes the night better ,will definitely go back ??

Went to MoonShine Nightclub for the first time last night and I was VERY impressed with EVERYTHING!! The bar manager was a nice, respectful and enjoyable person, with a very welcoming personality. All of the staff from first walking in the door, to the bartenders, bouncers and entertainment were very kind, and welcoming as well. I don't normally leave reviews, but hands down Heather and the staff deserve credit where credit is due. Thank you all and looking forward to coming back and having a great time!!

Went with my wife on Superhero night got some of the themed drinks, the Amazonian Punch and Widows kick were great. Atmosphere is always very great. The pretzels and nachos and tacos were good pairs with alcohol as usual. 10/10. But most importantly our bartender Marc was very attentive. I've been to Moonshine several times beforehand and most of the time I spend waiting to be noticed to get another drink or food ordered. Attentiveness is easily the most important quality of a bartender and not only did Mar

Very fun, great service, food is okay! You guys do great. Keep up the good work!

Bartenders were awesome! Drinks have fun video game themes to them. Atmosphere was perfect for getting a few drinks, watching some football, and play pool. Would love to go ahead when I'm in the area

The atmosphere is cool but we waited 30 minutes for drinks and then when we got them she didn't tell us how much our drinks were so when she came back with our change we just told her to keep it and she rolled her eyes and gave us attitude (I'm unsure why). Unlikely will I go back because the service was garbage. We also had to pay a $10 cover charge just because a band was playing. They didn't even have stools to sit on at the bar so don't wear uncomfortable shoes because you'll be standing the entire time

This place is without a doubt THE spot in Fremont right now. Hell in this whole area tbh. It has everything you need. Family friendly until 9 with plenty to entertain younger kids and older kids too. Of you're looking to celebrate anything, or even just have a few drinks in a spot with great vibes. This is the place!!! Live music on Thursday nights, private lounges you can rent if you have a group and want to have some privacy and a guaranteed place to sit. Occasionally have some bigger bands play on weeken

As someone who works in the restaurant/ bar industry I would never recommend this place to anyone. For a BAR, or ?nightclub? to attempt to charge $4,000 worth of food is just ridiculous and sad! Then to deny that they attempted to charge that much and blame it on people ?being drunk? is a scam. There was a party with not even 75 people there and they attempted to charge the party for 75 pizzas, 75 orders of chips and salsa, 75 orders of wings, and 75 soft pretzels. A meeting was held before hand explaining

Moonshine Is Where It's At!! Everything About This Place Is Perfect!! So Much Fun!! So Much To So!! The Service Is Amazing & Everyone Is Always Helpful & Friendly!! Definitely Check Them Out If Your In The Area!!

Thursday night is Karaoke night and Is very laid back, so if you're afraid but want to, then this is the place for you. The two d j's running it call it no pressure Karaoke and that's the truth.

We were so excited to see a club like this in our small town. A place where we can play games and eat food with the kiddos or go out on a date without them for drinks. Well, they kinda hit the mark. Games: fun Drinks: delicious Food: the most bland execution of flavors We wanted to love this place and tried this place out, twice. I could go on about how poorly the food tastes, but they didn't offend me. I hope they see this and take a hint. Their other venues have far better food. In case they are reading

We went there for the buddy the elf breakfast, made reservations like restaurant requested . When we got there, I asked about our reservations and was told they didn't have the tables set up for reservations? so I was confused about the point in making a reservation when the tables weren't set up that way. Was not offered any other solution, so we decided to leave because we didn't have the proper accommodations for our youngest. We really wanted it to be a positive first experience with Moonshine, but unfo

Absolutely love this place. Everyone there really makes you feel welcomed. I'm so glad they opened it!! The bartenders are amazing, the managers are amazing and overall just a great place to be in downtown Fremont! ????

Cramped during concerts plus charging people to sit down on couches and chairs. Staff made it nice. Over heard maybe an owner saying "the right people will pay that price." Your customers are supposed to be valued not price gauged.

with all due respect the execution is not the best, they have good staff that is trying their best but the people that opened this place give off the impression that they had zero experience operating a night club. idk if the menu is the same as opening weekend but they had smothered burritos... at a bar. I studied hospitality and food pairing with drinks is so important. Table clothes are an... interesting choice. Point being, elroy's is successful, scarpettas- also successful. moonshine is that of a dumps

Had my daughter?s birthday party in one of the VIP pods, her and her friends had a blast! There's something for everyone, and the service was amazing. Great food, good drinks? you can't lose ??

The nachos were the best we will definitely come back and next time I will be the kids I can have grown up fun. While my kids can play Minecraft or other games on the four TV's. Skeeball basketball pool darts and much.

Moonshine is the place to be in Fremont, Ohio! Tuesdays they have karaoke. Thursdays they have bands. Friday they have Dj Werk-it !(The best Dj in Fremont) And on Saturday they bring in the best bands in OHIO! Just to name a few...The Menus! Old Skool! Master T.C.& the Vistors. Country stars Jason Nix, Josh Melton, Mark Burke. And coming soon Billy likes Soda, Disco Inferno, Stranger than fiction, and many more! Moonshine also has Keno! Video games, pool tables, dart boards and delicious bar food and drinks

Would not recommend this place to anyone!!! Especially if your planning on renting out a vip area. They over charge and under fill your drinks. If you have any problems you were just ?drunk?, even tho I was with multiple people this night that didn't drink and recall the night the same way. They are a scam!!!

One of the nicest and most energetic clubs I've been too. The atmosphere is amazing too with lights everywhere and games at every corner would go back again!

This place is incredible & very welcoming! It has everything you could want for a night out! I love being able to say i work here. Over all such a great place!

Very clean and nice experience. Lively on the weekends, and laid back for family?s on the weekdays! I would definitely recommend for a night out and drink specials!

Basketball hoops! Skee ball machine! TWO pool tables (when there isn't an amazing band playing!) ?.. Huge dance floor. Great staff!!! ??

It's a neat place and a nice addition to Fremont. Only complaint, our group didn't get a good mixed drink all night.

Spent 1000$ and was asked to leave ??

Great place! The food is amazing and the customer service is amazing and they are so friendly I will definitely be back!

The service was mediocre. A contract was in place but they still over charged for food. Then gave us a hard time for calling out their error. Ended up still over paying.

Such a great ambiance with great music and drinks. Fantastic customer service on top of so many things to do, I'm addicted.

Nice place! Good music and atmosphere. Hats off to Kelsey and the rest of the bar staff!

Great space and perfect for a private event. Awesome service. Delicious food and drinks. Something for everyone!

Love this place!!! Great service!! I will be back for sure thank you so much for the awesome experience ??

Lively, great staff, great DJ (DJ Werkit), good drinks, and a good atmosphere! Will be back??

Love this bar & the people that work here! Best bar in fremont hands down!

Best place In town. And the security made me feel so safe. Amazing !!!

Great staff an overall great place you must check out if you are in Fremont

Great place, great staff, and energetic atmosphere!

Great service and cold drinks.

???????? i love the bar ????

Frequently Asked Questions

What’s it like visiting an arcade today?

It’s a mix of nostalgia and high-energy fun! Many arcades blend retro classics like Pac-Man and pinball with modern VR games, racing simulators, and rhythm challenges — often with music, lights, and a social vibe.

Is it better to go alone or with friends?

Both can be great! Solo visits let you focus on your favorite games, while going with friends adds competition, teamwork, and laughs. Many people plan arcade meetups as a casual hangout or even date spot.

What should I bring to an arcade?

Usually just yourself and a way to pay (some arcades still use coins, others use cards or apps). If you're competitive, bring your A-game. If you're social, bring friends or meet new ones over multiplayer games.

What’s the best time to visit an arcade?

Weekdays or early afternoons are usually less crowded — perfect for focused play. Evenings and weekends bring the buzz, especially at barcades or venues with DJs, tournaments, or themed nights.

Can I meet new people at arcades?

Absolutely! Arcades attract a mix of casual players and serious gamers. Whether you're jumping into a four-player co-op or chatting between rounds, it's a fun, low-pressure way to connect over shared interests.

Are arcades still just for kids?

Not at all. While many arcades are family-friendly, there are also adult-oriented ones with full bars, 18+ nights, or vintage nostalgia themes. Arcades today cater to everyone — from first-timers to lifelong gamers.

Are there events or tournaments I can join?

Yes! Many arcades host regular competitions, retro nights, cosplay parties, and more. Whether you're into high scores or just want to watch and vibe, events add an extra layer to the experience.

What if I’m not great at arcade games?

No worries — arcades are about having fun, not being perfect. Try a variety of games, ask others for tips, and remember: the vibe is more “let’s play” than “let’s win.”
