I can't believe that I have lived here for 10 years and have not been to Floore Country Store until now. A friend had an extra ticket to see Ian Munsick so I got to experience this historic small venu. It was such a great experience! They have an indoor bar area as well as an outdoor bar area and plenty of space with great visibility of the stage. It was such a fun experience, I'm so glad I went and I would definitely go again. I think it was a smaller crowd so it could potentially get busy and fill up the space. I was lucky enough to be dropped off so I did not have to deal with parking but the entrance and outdoor bar were well staffed. I definately would go again to enjoy this Texas gem. read more

This place smells like garbage ALL THE TIME. I've been multiple times the staff is rude and treat you like you're a walking scum of the earth. (Not exaggerating) their restrooms I'm happy they have more than 2 stalls but also smells absolutely horrible. Their prices on drink unless you make big bank out here go waste your money on half shit shows, horrible bartenders and overpriced drinks! Will NEVER be coming back. Would give zero stars if I could. read more

Always love the family night, twice a month: free, live music, family friendly, all ages. Lots of elderly and students come here. I love live music so it's always a treat to hear a great band. Bring cash for a donation. Really neat decorations hung around the ceiling. Floores is known for their concerts. Arrive at 3:30pm for a free dance lesson. Music starts at 4:30pm. Come early to grab a seat. read more

I've always wanted to come here. We planned on getting some food there, but they were not opening the restaurant till 7pm, and we were hungry. So we went somewhere else. Once we did to go in, it was pretty cool. The bands were going to play indoors, instead of outdoors. The ac was blowing pretty good, and it felt great inside. Once we got inside, we found us a table, seating was very limited for an indoor show. We got ourselves a drink, and the bar staff were quick and friendly. There were about 4-5 bartenders, and they did not mess around. Bathrooms are kinda of a hassle to get in and out of. I didn't check to see if the bats outside were open. The sound was great, you could hear everything that was being played. There was a dance floor, but the crowd was big and there was not a lot of room to dance. Still had a great time. Drinks are kinda pricy, guess the days when beer was $2 is over. read more

This place is bigger than I thought. The bar part is decently sized but they have a huge outside part which is where the concert was at. I will be going back in the future to get a feel of what this place is like for just their bar. I didn't get anything to eat there only a drink which cost $12 and the bartended didn't know how to make it. I had to tell her what it was. Maybe it was just up charged because of the concert but sheesh $12!? I had a great time at the concert don't get me wrong but floore's really should have done more for people's safety. There was no walk way to get to the bar like there was so many people... it was almost a safety hazard. The police or workers should have told the people to make a walk way for safety but nope! The inside of the bar was nice though I would like to come back and experience in a more calming matter so I'll update my review when I do go back! read more

This place is a really great outdoorsy place to got to. I just discovered this place while attending a concert. It was nice and was able to hold a lot of people. The concert was outside and was really crowded but a good crowded. This place is great for a concert or just hanging out. I did t have food but I'm sure it was good. The lines were long. read more

Good venue for a country concert. They usually have Texas country bands and classic country artists. The venue is big enough to accommodate many people. They also have an inside seating area with a small stage. Ticket prices vary. They have the VIP with a table section that sells out quickly. Then there's the VIP with seating. The seating is first come first serve and people do get there early. The general admission is standing. The VIP has their own bar. The bathroom situation is tricky. They have four stalls in the women's bathroom. They do have ports pottys. Free parking is limited. You can find parking for $20 across the street. They sell food in the venue too. read more

Came here for the first time and it was quite an experience. The space inside is pretty big but it can get packed quick so if you wanna ensure you get close to the stage show up early. Didn't try the food this time around but it appeared the kitchen was pretty busy so I'll have to check it out next time. Bartenders were pretty good and the drink I had was just right. I'm hoping to be back for more shows over the years. read more

The food was great. There was plenty seating for everyone to sit down and eat their food. The service was quick and it was affordable.

Recently moved to the area and bought tickets to see the Bellamy Brothers. The day of the show it was a very cold day. I had read reviews about this place and prepared but was not prepared to learn that the concert was outside on this cold day. We arrived around 7 and were able to find a parking spot without having to pay for parking...about a block away. There was already a line waiting to get in. I saw many women carrying blankets...wish I would have known to bring one...but I had assumed the concert was indoors. We had premium seats and as soon as we entered, we walked over to the front of where the band was going to play. Plenty of chairs available but not really an area to dance. If you happen to visit in the summer or on a sunny day, there's no shade or umbrellas unless you purchase terrace tickets which are more expensive. I did love our seats....great view and sound was perfect. They do offer all kinds of alcoholic beverages and I did see people order food. Overall we had an amazing and fun experience and will visit again one day. read more

I attended my first social distancing concert last weekend, and I kinda like it! My husband is a huge fan of Texas country and Floore Country Store has always been our go-to concert venue for all his favorite artists. We noticed they were bringing concerts back last week and decided to give this a chance. Here is what you need to know: 1- You can only purchase tickets by groups of four, six or VIP table. 2- Seats are not assigned, so it's first come first serve. You MUST stay at your seat the entire time, and they don't encourage dancing or standing during the concert. 3- Staff comes at takes your drink order at your seat and you can pay with cash or card. 4- Everyone must wear face masks while walking around the venue. They have a few officers around the venue making sure everyone is wearing a face mask. 5- Food is still available for purchase, but you have to order that inside. With all that being said, I really like this new social distancing concert style. If you've been here before, you know Floores get PACKED! I am 5'1" and is always a struggle to even catch a glimpse of the artists playing, so this new way of enjoying the concert from the comfort of your seat is pretty nice. I also really liked that you don't have to wait in line to get a beer! The staff was AMAZING and they would get your drink in no time. read more

I used to enjoy concerts here maybe 4-5 years ago, and i'm not sure what has changed but jeez man. I went to go see Ty Myers (and him and his team were amazing) The Floores staff was very rude. An older man was directing people to stand against the railing like we were cattle. shouting "move," with absolutely no regard is insane to me as a fellow service worker. the entire show was just really tense, multiple people around us were bickering throughout the entire show. when leaving i tried asking one of their "rent-a-cop" people if we could return back to grab merch... she didn't even let me finish before saying "no" rudely. maybe everyone is so tense at the shows because there is such negative energy from staff and security, old town helotes has lost its charm of southern hospitality. gross. read more

Used to be a great place to see a show with pretty solid bands coming through. Cheap beer, bit of a dive with gross bathrooms and a sewage smell in some places but you tolerate that for $2-3 beers and a good show. Then they started charging $8 a pop for Lone Star beers yet the place still smells like sewage so where is that money going? You're in Helotes, not downtown San Antonio. Quit ripping off your customers. read more

Saw Jon Pardi here last night. (And it was great!) Havent been to Floores in several years because I was not a fan of their set up.. Well, it's improved felt more "open" and I think there was a slight slant in the land going from back of venue to front of stage. I am pretty short, and towards the back, I could still see pretty well. Didn't eat there, but had drinks. Just basic beer, but they did have some other alcohol. OH! Best part.. I was trying hard to get tix. (Sold our show both nights) WELL! Floores has an area on their website to purchase other fan's tix. Yes. Like ppl who couldn't go for some reason post their tix for sale. THAT is how we scored tix the DAY OF show! Do not trust ppl online/fb to sell their tix. Scammers! read more

First off, I've been going to Floors for 30+ years. I've seen many great concerts there, both inside and outside. I grew up going there and now I go there with my daughter every month or two. It has that old school small town vibe...BUT things have been really rough the last few inside concerts. It's blazing hot put you in the hospital kind of hot. The ac inside is a freaking joke. They pack as many people as they can inside for a concert with really underpowered ac. You will be dripping in sweet 5 min into the concert. I honestly have no idea how the bands survive. They also charge a insane $9 per beer and $12 for a mixed drink. The bartenders are rude, and their selection isn't that good. You also have to watch your tab like a hawk because they added an extra $10 tip to our tab, and this isn't the 1st time it's happened. Floors needs to do a better job. read more

Amazing venue! Tamales are excellent, great place to see a show (Blackberry Smoke) was awesome! Loved the staff.

We've been her two times for concerts and it's a very fun venue. Though it does get pretty packed the spectators have all been friendly. All of the bar areas are organized and service is quick even though lines are long. I can't wait to attend my next event here or even drop by for a cold one. read more

I don't know the entire history of John T. Floore's Country Store in Old Town Helotes but it's a landmark treasure. Its probably best known as the musical birthplace of Willie Nelson. In October I had the pleasure of attending the Saturday concert of country music artist Jon Pardi. It was an awesome show that showcased his past hits and new songs from his latest record. I didn't get a chance to eat from thier kitchen but I heard they serve up some pretty good food. For smaller concerts Floore's has an intimate atmosphere with an indoor stage, dance area, with tables and for more popular artists the outside has a larger stage with elevated VIP sections along the side and back. General admission is standing room only in front of the stage and in the middle. So get there early if you want a great spot to see your favorite musician. Parking is available up and down Old Bandera Rd. Some of the parking is free but expect to pay about $10 to park at one of the many grass lots. Beer and liquor prices are about on par of what you would pay at a typical concert. Domestic beer like Lone Star is $6 a can. More for premium and mixed drinks. Floore's can't be missed. Everyone should go at least once for an experience you won't forget. read more

Today at John T Floore's I wanted cheddar bacon fries. So I went up and tried to order this. The lady behind the bar looked at me and told me "they don't like doing that!" I was shocked. They sell cheese, bacon and fries. (See pic) She was essentially telling me that the cooks are too lazy to fry up some fries and throw some cheese and bacon on them?? This is honestly the worst experience I have ever had in trying to order loaded fries! The rudest customer service ever. Will never order anything from this country bar ever again. read more

Great place to see a show! Outdoor elevated stage with lots of general admission space. Lots of Port-a-potties. There's also an elevated porch that faces the stage where you can pay a bit more for a table. The porch has its own bar and a couple of port-a-potties. You can also pay for a table on the covered porch just off the main dining hall. This is good because the stage is covered so shows go on rain or shine. Main dining hall has restrooms with a few stalls. The restaurant is basic grub like brisket sandwiches, etc., and a veggie burger is offered. Chips are the side and a pie selection is usually offered. Buy your food on the left and your beer/liquor on the right. Liquor selection varies, good selection of beers. Will definitely be back and will get a porch table. Loved the experience! Nothing like listening to great music with nice weather and a lightning show in the distance. read more

It's a very country establishment, classic country fare, boots on the ceiling. Bring your Hat and boots to fit in here. The food is good but really over priced. Drinks are show prices. Everything is bar order. No waitresses or waiters. It's really more of a spot to see a band and do the two step. read more

great venue and service. music was way to loud to enjoy. had decibel meter and it was hitting 112 with average of 105. ridiculously loud and speakers bleeding out over each other. I love live music and enjoy Roger Creager, but not tonight. read more

I attended a socially distanced concert during COVID! And I just want to say... I hope things can stay this way, even after the pandemic. It was so nice to not have to fight crowds, have people stepping on my toes, leaning on me, spilling their beer on my boots, or blowing smoke in my face. I was extremely impressed by the set up. You purchase your ticket based on the general area that you want. And then they have it set up with groups of 4 chairs together. With the next group of chairs at least 6 feet from you, side ways, in front and in back. The wait staff come to you for drink orders. The only time I went inside, was to leave, but they were having people exit either through the back gate or the building. All the tables inside were picked up and put away. Since there was 2 shows this particular night, to account for social distancing, you could not exit through the front outside entrance, as people were starting to check in for the next show. We watched them spray every single chair with a sprayer, and then go around and spray again and wipe down each chair. Very impressed Floores, very impressed. I liked the seating set up.. was not expecting them to clean the chairs. I might just be getting too old for the up close and personal aspect of a concert, so I really enjoyed this set up. read more

I'm no expert, but I have a feeling this is the best place to see the country acts that come to San Antonio. There's a small indoor stage and a wide open outdoor stage under the stars for larger acts. Acoustics seemed good and it's family friendly. I haven't seen any of the outdoor acts. As this isn't a bar, there is no smoking inside but there's plenty of outdoor tables. Food was served till 10pm the Sat night I went. Workers were very hospitable. They serve bbq, bbq related sides, and a small adequate selection of bottled beer. The brisket I had was as tender as I've ever seen, but can't stand up to Rudy's BBQ. Potato salad could have had more mayo for my taste but had an added twist of bits of jalapeno. Most nights they have cover. Parking isn't a problem since Helotes has expanded the street lots. read more

Life was good as a VIP until the Nazi showed up telling us to get out ten minutes after the show. That wouldn't have been so bad except for two things. One - we paid more than the people not being kicked out. Two - they allowed the bar to sell drinks right before the show ended. They then proceeded to tell us that the bar wasn't affiliated with the venue. Did you hire them? Did you make money off of them? Then you're affiliated. Learn how last call works, please. read more

This venue has been the place of many memories made with my friends. With multiple bars and open areas it is a very comfortable venue to watch a show and grab a drink. The restaurant inside serves fresh Texas BBQ, and is a real Texas honky tonk. Near the back bars are many portapotties so you never have to wait long. read more

A perfect Honky Tonk. I've been to Billy Bob's, been to Cowboys I dunno how many times, but for my money, Floore's has em beat. If you watch a concert inside, it gets cramped quick, depending on who's playing, but it is retro and classic..boots hanging from the ceiling etc. Outdoors has kind of a county fair feel to it, but then they open the inside as a restaurant. The brisket tamales are totally worth it ! It's become my favorite venue for live music. Try it out and it'll be yours too. read more

Nice venue. They lost a star because of the rude, crazy old man who was directing the parking in the back lot. He was horrible! Not a good first impression at all. The venue itself was good. Beer line was not too long and that's a plus. Restrooms are porta-potties but that is to be expected. Lots of smokers and standing room only so it isn't for the faint of heart. Good place to hear a good band if you can handle the standing, smoke and porta potties and awful old fart in the parking lot. read more

We enjoyed our first time here to watch Brothers Osborne (April 2022, so bit of a late review). We had VIP Stage tickets and got there early, so we didn't have any issues with parking nor getting a good spot - against the railing in front of the stage. Bar to the left of the stage was easily accessible and never had a long wait. When purchasing the tix, we considered getting a VIP table, but all that was available was like the first one closest to the stage, and we're so glad we didn't go that route. We hung out by there before the show started, and the view point was poor due to the way the giant speakers are setup, so I would not recommend that spot if looking for a VIP table. Leaving the venue and parking area was not much of an issue either. We would return for another concert and just make sure to arrive quite early again. read more

Used to be a great place but over the years it fell into younger management who could not run a day care center, They end up putting so called VIP tables in front of the stage, non reserved seats, charge a $14.500 ticket fees. Not to mention the cops out there are ASSHOLES. save your money and time, go to a better equipped venue read more

Wide open gorgeous venue. Do bring appropriate shoes as much of the viewing area is covered in gravel.

This is a cool place to see some up and coming artists perform. Being new to San Antonio I definitely felt a bit like an outsider, the staff seem to not really care about you unless they know you. read more

Attended the Dwight Yoakam concert last Saturday night. The opening band was great as was Dwight. We sat in the VIP general admission section and were thrilled to be up close to the stage. Staff coming to take our drink orders was great to. Now for the down side. There were 2 men and a woman who stood up (they were on the first row) and even after having folks yell at them telling them to sit down so they could see, one of the men yelled "stand up"! It wouldn't have been an issue because of course when Dwight came on everyone stood up to watch him. But the concert had just started and these folks were obviously tipsy and rudely stood up the whole evening. As if that wasn't bad enough that same man that yelled out then got into a fight with another man, punched the other man at least twice that we saw, and there was no security to be found. Once security was made aware they came and took the other man and yet the one that was standing up and drunk himself didn't get taken out. He was just as much at fault. We saw him punch that shorter man first. Bottom line security needs to be standing by the stage to help keep things like this from happening again. It took several minutes before security came around. All of us paid good money to be there and expect to be safe and have a good time. It's sad that these drunk people got away with punching a man but hopefully it'll be the first and last time they do. read more
