    PROS: This place is the best line dancing bar ive ever been to. Ages 18+, music is good, numerous bars inside, arcade games, a mechanical bull, and friendly staff. Loads of parking and open late CONS: Ages 18-20 the admission is $40 and ages 21+ is $10 when it should be free. OVERALL: As long as you don't mind paying for admission this is an amazing place to go to

    Best place to show your friends or family who are visiting Texas. Such a vibe lol great music. Live music, country music and it gets fun later in the night. Hot dog lines outside. Easy parking. You're guaranteed a great time.

    Me and my girls come here on Thursday nights because ladies get in free. At first it was fun but now it's just too many young people. Maybe if i came on a day when it's only 21 and over. The young ones really ruin the experience.. like they don't know how to have fun without being belligerent. The inside is nice... the girls bathroom is always packed.

    I brought my cousins from Italy to Red River to give them the stereotypical Texas experience, and it was hands-down their favorite part of the trip. If you're looking for a fun time and a chance to meet some great people, I highly recommend Red River. It's also perfect if you just want to dance and work on your two-step skills. The vibe is versatile--some people are hanging out with friends, while others are in their own world with headphones on. With everything from beers to a dance floor and even a bull ride, there's something for everyone. I can't wait to go back!

    As someone from the Midwest who was in Texas for the first time - I couldn't recommend this experience more. Great to watch the people dance, they have plenty of bars and space in this place. So so cool to see - I also would recommend finishing the night with a hot dog from outside!!

    If you are looking for a country night out in Dallas to boot-scoot-and-boogie, then you need to check out Red River! We went to Red River on a weekend night and the entire place was packed with people dancing, sipping on brews, and singing along with the live entertainment. There is a large circular dance floor that allows people to dance while constantly moving throughout the place. There is a bull-riding machine, several pool tables, a few different bars to order from, and a large stage for entertainers to perform on. Red River mainly plays country music but every hour or so they will play some pop/rap songs to break up the genre a bit. Red River is a great spot to pull up your boots and start dancing! Add this spot to your Dallas list of fun things to do!

    Came for my wedding party as the groom going to be married this weekend... whole wedding party got let in except me cause I wore a collared shirt and khaki shorts, they didn't like that it had strings to tighten the pants....? Extremely bizarre dress code as my attire was very formal. Has never happened before... will never be coming back.

    We came here from out of town and had a good experience! I called ahead and booked a table for 15 a few days in advance, and I'm glad I did since the place was packed. We got the $75 birthday package on Saturday which gave us free cover and 10 drink tickets + a free bulk ride. Totally worth it! The dance floor is around a bar which was fun. No line dancing aside from a pretty bad attempt at Shivers But there were some steal circles and plenty of good dancers there which made it fun. Overall a great place for a group, and couples dancing. Lots of people asking to dance.

    This is my go to spot for country dancing. It is reasonably priced, especially if you go before 8pm, it is a free entry. Plus they give free country dancing lessons around 7pm. It has everything you would want from my country dance hall/bar. They have two set of big bathrooms, large dance floor space, billiards, and a bull riding machine. Their service was appropriate and professional. It's not all perfect, sometimes it gets really crowded, and the people can be rude, and the place could be a little cleaner. Though, it is what you would expect from a bar.

    Just a wonderful place and good time. Me and my wife had the best time and will be back soon.read more

    Adult oriented review…read more... Having been an open and active swinger every minute of my adult life, I check out as many swingers "lifestyle" clubs as I possibly can. I love seeing how different clubs in different cities set themselves up. Plus, any excuse to meet new people and play with them is a good reason. My wife had some business things to handle via zoom in the hotel room so I went over to this club myself. I had just visited the one in New Orleans a few days earlier and was excited to check this one out. Of course, there is always the waivers, fees and check in stuff when new at any club. As a single female for the night, they definitely streamlined the process. Single, attractive women that swing are treated like royalty at swing clubs. This club was no different. Once was inside, having forgotten to bring anything to drink, as this club was byob, I found myself alcohol deficient. I had to barter for drinks and had fun making trades. If you get my meaning. I found this club fun, clean and had plenty of attractive, fun and play minded men and women. The staff were all pleasant and I saw nobody pushing nor violating the rules. There was a good mix of ages from mid twenties to people in their sixties. Nobody pressured me nor made me feel uncomfortable in any way. I found four like minded women and really enjoyed their company. I only stayed for about three hours but I really enjoyed it. If I lived in the Dallas area, I'd certainly be a member and spend my Saturday nights there. If swinging is your thing or you just like to watch and enjoy the vibe, this club is for you.

This place has like 20,000 some likes on facebook and almost 2,000 check-ins so we decided to check it out on that basis. The men here are all Mexican Cowboys. Complete with 10 gallon cowboy hat, cowboy buckles, cowboy boots, cowboy style button down shirt. I think they had horse parking around the side of the building. Not my style, but we're already here, so f*ck it, let's go. Dominic is right about his Dusk till Dawn comment. Lots of the ladies here wear very little ill fitting clothing. It looked a little like the C-squad on a Wednesday afternoon at the strip club. And there is lots of mysterious, smelly 90's style stage smoke wafting around the place for some reason. Like someone forgot to turn off the smoke machine when that trend ended 15 years ago. Even though my friend and I had the most clothes on of all the women in the whole place, we still got plenty of attention. We went on Valentine's weekend though, so pretty much everyone was already coupled. We only paid for our first round of drinks, and it was about $10 for two mixed drinks. The night turned out ok because we got to chill in the DJ booth, and he played reggaeton at my request and I got to dance and flirt with the one hot guy in the whole place. Overall, the people and staff were generous and accommodating. I won't be making this a regular spot, but If you're just looking for something different and are open and adventurous, pop in to check it out. Probably bring at least one friend with you that speaks even bad spanish, and go in a group. P.S. The little taco shop next door is AH-Mazing and cheap, and open late. Noms.

Now let's talk about the vibe because BABY... from the outside, you would NEVER expect what's inside. You walk in and suddenly you're in a full-on 70s-inspired living room. I mean, the velvet-lined hallway and the beaded doorway *should've* been my warning, but nothing prepares you for it There's tons of seating too: comfy couches, chairs, tables, booths, it really feels like you're just hanging out at somebody's very cool house. They've even have a pool table, and right at 8pm an aggressively competitive Uno game breaks out, which was honestly hilarious to watch. This place is such a vibe. Fun, unique, and just different in the best way. 10/10. I'll definitely be back.

The comfy seats, neon lights and unique drinks make for an immaculate vibe. I got the sugar land summer and I really loved the vanilla foam. Thicker and tastier than any foam I've ever had, I want this again. The orange creamsicle part was a little bitter though. I really enjoyed my sweet surrender and would have ubered here instead to have another - the brown butter Bacardi and pecan was great. They cooked and left no crumbs.
