    This place was great, I had heard may great things about the venue itself with the surrounding historic Gruene area. The entrance to the place itself was very smooth and easy to access. There was plentiful of space in the area for parking close by. The staff there were super helpful when asking questions. I didn't try the food but I saw the bar was super packed and seemed to be getting much business.

    Gruene Hall is Texas' oldest dance hall, offering a unique, historic live music experience with great bands and a lively, sometimes hot, atmosphere (no A/C!), perfect for dancing or enjoying drinks on the porch, though it gets crowded and sweaty inside, making it a must-visit for its authentic Texas vibe and history The place attracts big-name country/blues artists and features local talent; great bands are a given. A true Texas dance hall, perfect for two-stepping and soaking in the culture. Even during the day, sitting outside with a beer offers a great experience. Staff are efficient, accommodating, and kind. as for cleanliness, the venue is kept spotless. There are a few things to consider: It gets extremely hot and sweaty inside, especially during shows. The venue is very popular, so expect large crowds and standing room only for many shows. While cards are accepted, having cash for an ATM across the street is useful. In terms of parking, the surrounding Gruene Historic District is busy, so it might be a little bit challenging. Overall experience: It's considered more than just a venue; it's an experience. Go early for the daytime feel or brace for heat and crowds for the legendary live shows inside, but either way, it's a cornerstone of Texas music history.

    Stopped in to listen to the live music and check out the building. Such a cool space, and kept pretty true to it's history it feels like. The also have an outdoor space where kids can play basketball and run around a bit. Definitely worth stopping in! Next time we will try the drinks

    The Greune Hall is 145+ years old and is a fantastic place to go. Behind it is the famous and amazing Gristmill restaurant over looking the Guadalupe River. The entire Greune area is amazing place to go hang out. Huge oak trees, great music 7 days a week at the Greune Hall (and some pretty big names) and great food. And all around it are super fun and cute shops. Super clean and nice. Every shop you go into is delightful and so nice and this is especially true at the Greune Hall. There is also outdoor seating at the Hall if you do not like standing and listening. Great for groups and all around good times!

    Gruene Hall now takes credit cards. This is so helpful since so few people carry lots of cash on them. Although the hall has always been reasonably priced for beer in this neck of the woods

    It's a must visit site. And hard to add anything new that hasn't already been said about the oldest TX dance hall. It's got history and nostalgia, old songs and celebrity photos, a wobbly wood floor and all types of people with a big outdoor area. Just find a band and go. Get liquors up at the Grapevine nearby before you go.

    Oldest continuously operating dancehall in TX!! Absolutely loved it! Rang in the New Year with Pat Green TX country style Quaint, historic, friendly!

    This was the coolest place ever!! So much country music history here and the way nothing has changed. The staff is very pleasant and loved talking about the Hall. The pictures on the wall really tell the story for the place.

    I've been here so many times that I can't believe I've never written a review. This historical honky-tonk is a no frills venue that continues to pay homage to its roots since inception. So many famous folks have played here. We were lucky enough to catch Morgan Wade performing during our last visit. The employees are efficient, super friendly, and happy. Beer prices are average and affordable.

    A neat place with a lot of music history. Lost on the policy of letting small children in for concerts. Offers a more tourist vibe with that situation. Our one trip to the bar experience was weak on service. I would recommend to go at least once.

    Stop and have a cold beer when visiting this historic building. So many country western stars have graced the stage here. There is a bar at the front which is open all the time. They let you go into the hall and check it out. I've stopped here twice, once during the winter. They had the pot belly stove going and it was toasty inside. They remove the stove during the warm months to make more room in the bar. Across the street are some real cool stores and there are good restaurants next door and down the street. Great small town vibe. Highly recommend the drive out here if you are staying in San Antonio.

    Really cool historic must-see when visiting Gruene. For the history alone and walking around to see all the signed photographs of country artists who have come/performed here. There's a wood burning stove for heat in the fall/winter to add to the charm. There is always live music and often times it is free. They serve beer and wine only, no liquor, and a few bags of chips up front. We had a great time and the bartender was friendly and chatted with everyone coming through the bar.

    Gruene Hall is filled with history.

    I always wanted to step into the oldest dance hall in Texas, but never seemed to have the time or a reason during numerous visits to Gruene. The group Soul Sessions gave me the reason and a friend and I made the time. Both the group and the hall did not disappoint. The place is filled with history and is like stepping back into time. The acoustics are great and the atmosphere was upbeat and pleasant. My friend had a beer and I had some wine and we were both pleased with our choices. We sat at one of the long bench tables and occasionally got up to dance and then returned to our seats. We can't wait to go back!

    I see the words "dance hall", but in all of the posted pictures I see very little dancing. Is there dancing, or is there just music for listening?

    If there's dancing music being played, there's definitely a few people dancing up front; but this is first and foremost a concert venue.

    I notice they open early. Do they have music during the day, or only in the evening when bands are performing?

    Afternoon /evenings on weekends ( evenings on Friday and Saturday usually paid show depends who's playing) and evenings during the week (free). Don't come early! There's no music

    I hope to be moved up there by thanksgiving.iam moving to Canyon Lake. Wonder if I will get to meet a famous singer?

    Well you'll see them perform not sure you'll meet them. Gruene hall has had the likes of Willie Nelson, George strait, private party of ZZ Top( I wasn't invited and I live down the street ) Flaco Jimenez ( lifetime grammy award winner )always has… Read more

Plenty of seating options from stools to Adirondack chairs, as well as fire pits for those chilly nights. They don't actually serve food, but there is a food truck outside the entrance. I don't know if it changes, but this truck offered tacos and quesadillas that night. We didn't have any. Drinks are just OK. Beer selection is poor if you're a picky beer drinker. The margaritas are from a machine and a little on the weak side. Since I was the DD, I ordered a soda and it was awful. A lot of bars go cheap and serve off-brand sodas because people will mix them with alcohol and not notice that they aren't the "real deal." I couldn't drink it. It was so bad, I shuddered after every sip - and then I gave up. I ordered a water, and that was just as terrible! I don't know if it's the dispenser gun that carries over the flavors of everything else that comes out of it, or the ice is funky, or what, but I couldn't drink that either. I wish they'd have bottled water or something. Canned soda? Something that will make it enjoyable for everyone, not just the alcohol consumers? Being an occasional DD, there has to be something for me to enjoy, too, since I'm the one who decides how long we'll stay and when we'll leave if it's not good. Service was walk-up to the bar. Still, I give it 4 stars just because the overall vibe is really cool and the band we love was playing that night.

    Not much color. Is what it is, I mean, we know it's in New Braunfels. Went on a Wednesday night…read more Ordered a Dos and a margarita. Come up to $13. That wasn't bad. They had a live band this night. Loved that. Soul something. Pretty good set. The place itself was nice. A lot of seating and room to move around.

He was playing do a wrangled up my wife, Maria and we went. This place is a bit hidden, by the walls that cover the seating area, outdoors. They have an indoor bar, very welcoming staff.

They have a trailer for a stage, very country, lol. No hay bales to sit on, so it's not too country. Plenty of seating, picnic tables, outdoor bar. You can sit on the patio, or out over the grass. They have two ramps to get up to the indoor bar, good lighting for the stairs. The bathrooms are clean, four rooms, one is a family bathroom and the other three have unisex bathroom signs.

The bartenders are fantastic, and the owner and his partner are incredibly friendly and outgoing. They genuinely make you feel like a regular, even if it's your first visit.
