Review
This honky-tonk has a dark cavernous interior with a huge dance floor. (Ask about free two-step and line-dancing lessons early in the evenings.) There are DJs and live bands. But, what happens outside is what really sets this place apart. A rodeo pen next to the parking lot features "Buckin' Bull Nights" Saturdays with live bulls (there's a mechanical one for novices). Just say, "Yeeehaaaawww" and watch the pros try to hang on. (In order to score, a cowboy needs to stay atop the bull for 8 seconds.) Country stars rising up the charts occasionally hold concerts here. Open Friday and Saturday from 8pm to 2am.
