Maddy’s Lounge and Grill

What a Dive, $ 15 cover dosnt make up for the cocky staff whom thinks is club 54 and inexperienced Bar staff.

This place is ridiculous! Terrible service at the entrance… I showed up with the band that was playing that night and they treated me like if they were doing the favor to let me in! Not only is a stinky place (especially the bathrooms) but the people «in charge» are really not worth the ridiculous $ 10 cover. The manager or whoever he thinks he is went in smoking. hello… the only person who was nice was the waitress.
I’M NEVER GOING BACK TO THIS CHEAP PLACE.

Went here for a friends birthday celebration. Good time had by all. DJ rocked it with some great dance tunes to keep the dance floor hopping the whole time we were there! Some people had won their bowling league and were dancing around the trophy in the middle of the floor. I had to bust a move and celebrate with them. IT WAS AWESOME! Totally made my night. Not a fan of cover charges especially when I’m staying on the bar side to dance but oh well. Beers are little high priced but thankfully they had HL’s for me. YEAH! Would go back with a group to go dancing again.

I just can’t.
We stopped in here after dinner at Sake just to check it out. The cover charge should have been a deal breaker but I was feeling richer than a young Arab boy so we swept our way in.
Maddy’s is like the foyer outside of a Divorce Court — what’s this, the new Vogue? They do have Bass Ale, which is a plus, and two rooms, one featuring a DJ spinning hits for the gyrating cougars and the Affliction-​shirted 60 year old men with grossly inflated arms; the other room with a band featuring a sleazy, slinky lounge singer that was a parody of Michelle Pfieffer in the FABULOUS BAKER BOYS, singing, of all things, Madonna’s VOGUE, but not actually singing, more like when Stevie Nicks has one too many and is slurring/​humming the song really loud.
One and done!

i got trashed here last night. i paid a $ 5 cover, but it was to see my friends band. if i wasnt here to see my friends band, i would have spit in their faces. this place is a dump. the mixed drinks were weak & they dont carry sam light. … if its the weekend & i cant pull my whole ‘sam lights/​all night!’ routine; im fucking bullshit.
needless to say, i went straight into shots of jack daniels.
a shot of jack daniels was $ 7, but the cougar watch was priceless. there was a woman in a knit-​sweater dress /​suede knee-​high boot combination that kept me entertained when i was too out of breath to dance or smoke cigarettes. OH! and, some piece of shit stole my cigarettes off the table.
final word; only come here to see your friends bands, & DONT fucking touch my cigarettes.

Use to be great for dropping in for a drink (wayyy overpriced, weak and small) to see a band. some good, some not so, and people watching BUT now they charge a cover. usually $ 5.sorry, not spending $ 5 to get in then a $ 8 drink and listen to’ just ok’ cover bands. its not about bein cheap, JUST LOSE THE STUPID COVER… You make enough on the overpriced drinks!!, GREEDY KOWLOON!

horrible. They sell chinese food give me a break. Chinese food, that blew my mind, I thought it was an Irish type pub. There wasn’t a Chinese person around

Wow I swear I’m not in Saugus anymore. Like an acid trip without the acid. All ages mixed bag of social beavers. A most enjoyable stop for fun and shake your Booty! I swear I saw Transvestites in here before! NOW WITH THE COVER CHARGE LESS RIFF RAFF.

Been here a few times. I was definately the youngest person there, next to my date of course. Owned by the same family that owns Kowloons, so I expected too much I think. But just like Kowloons, the drinks are too expensive. Food is appetizers and not much else. It’s ok to hang out, play some lottery, watch the game or just dance. I wouldn’t go to get drunk, or you will be broke when you leave. I was.

Oh Jonathan, Yes yes yes, it is all you said and more! Mullets galore, women with 80’s hair, bad clothing, and cleavage that should not be seen by anyone BUT you gotta admit, when your out, having a few cocktails, what more can you ask for to beat the boredom but to people watch and have a few laughs. …Maddy’s can be quite the people watching place!
Some of the live music is very good, others can be painful. Go a few times and you can figure it out. Not a place for the younger techno crowd. Go to Boston for that.
UPDATE 3÷09− Mojo Slim was the band, Awesome. The crowd… well, let’s just say, plenty to look at. Some eyesores and some easy on the eye. Eyesore example: bleach blonde BIG hair, stilletto heeled strappy sandals (it’s March for godsake) bare legs with a MICRO mini skirt with an oversized mens’ dress shirt to cover the big belly… well at least she covered it, which is more than I can say about others… oh, hey, look at those two dirty dancing, I think I may have to throw up.
Then there is the girl in barefeet dancing alone. What drug did she take tonight? Maybe it was the moonshine. This crowd had me wondering if Arkansas had just overtaken Massachusetts.
The music was fabulous and my head was spinning so fast trying to look at all the freaks with some normal people mixed in. Yes, I did feel like a VS super model because the cast from Deliverance was there.
A+ for last nights music and the people watching. The drinks are a little on the pricey side for a dive but there was no cover charge.

Always good for a last call…

I was absolutely mesmerized…
We were driving by this place, going somewhere else and saw the parking lot packed. As the anticipation of perhaps finding a decent place to drink in Saugus built we stepped inside. Here is where the magical mystery tour that is Dive bar Nirvana begins. We took a step to the left to find a brightly lit bar that included people of all ages, We’re talking 20’s to 60’s but that wasn’t too strange.
We grabbed some drinks from the bar and grabbed a table to relax. The drinks were a little on the pricey side considering its a dive bar but whatever, at that point we were content to a one drink and leave mentality. Then it happens. Sometimes in life you see something so perfect that words cant describe it… it is sheer perfection and no matter how hard you try you cant manage to take your eyes off of it. As I was frozen, gazing unabashedly at quite possible the greatest mullet of all time Maddy’s true power struck me… this place is the Queen Mother of all dive bars.
Yes that includes a dance floor on the other side. And walking into this dance floor was just as inspiring as the Über mullet. There was an actual real live disco band… I will repeat that a live disco band. It was amazing… a sea of awful haircuts bopping up down to Donna Summers songs and yes a man playing a bongo.
You gotta stop here, even if its just for one drink, it does worlds for your self esteem!
