Great location and long bar with back deck that has a great view of the river. Awesome Bloody Mary, ice cold beer, chill folks, cool locals. This was a great stop during our visit to Witches of the River. Thanks guys, Grafton was a fun visit!

★★★☆☆ 3.0 Scott Reinhold · Sep 2024

I was told this was a can't miss spot, but honestly I found it pretty average. Small and cramped inside. There's a little deck out back with partial river views. Beer and bourbon selection is nothing to write home about. In Grafton, you can throw a rock in any direction and hit a place like this, so I don't get the hype. Didn't hate it, but I don't classify it as a must see place.

★★★☆☆ 3.0 Joan H · Nov 2025

Apparently the place is changing owners. Hopefully the next ones will give it a good cleaning. The drinks were ridiculously high priced.

★★★★★ 5.0 Maddie Burton · Sep 2025

Great service and a fun atmosphere! We stopped by for drinks and enjoyed our short visit, would definitely come back!

I had a freaking good time at The Bloody Bucket Saloon. Kerry Lee was playing that night 🎶 and we helped hype up the music.There was no food,but they did have popcorn 😀 10/10 I would definitely recommend. The outside patio is also spacious. And the patriots where a blast.
