 busy street at night
James F.

Nice honky tonk type place. Paid $45 cover for three only to play pool. We made a reservation; told the staffers at the door we would be most likely gone when the band started. Drinks were fine. Bartenders were nice. Servers that were checking on our abandoned reserved table were friendly too. We played 5 games and literally when the band started jamming we lasted about 15 more minutes and headed back to the hotel. Not exactly good value here; I could have bought a pool table on Craigslist cheaper and played in the hotel parking lot and left it. Guess it was at least worth some dollars having not entered a bar in Texas since the virus started

Super fun vibe inside. The stools are hilarious. There is a ton of space inside. There was a musician later in the evening as well. The bartender was attentive, engaging, and fun. She had a positive attitude and was informative. The drink options are plentiful. This end of the street is just as good if not better than where all the shopping is. It gets more happening the closer to the weekend however. Most places down this end closed during the week.

Hilarious bar stools

Great place for some fun dancing. Great people. Great drinks! Try the mini chocolate and Guinness shot. Yum!

Great bar for learning two step! They have live music that plays good two stepping songs. It was more of an older crowd when I went here. There is a cover to get in here though. I like how they have more than just beer. There's a good selection of shots to choose from. All of the staff here are friendly.

Super fun bar, great vibe, live music, friendly bartenders . SO glad we walked out of McNastys next door, that place gave me the creeps.

My favorite place to dance in the stockyards. Has the old Texas Honky tonk atmosphere that I crave. The bands are always good too.

Ask the Community - Lil' Red's Longhorn Saloon

Do they have a band, there on Wednesday night? And do they have dancing there on Wednesday night?

Yes, we have a band every Wednesday night, Landon Dodd and the Dancehall Drifters 7-11pm, cover is $5.00. A lot of dancing going on every Wednesday Night.

How old can do children have to be to go with adults?

I would just ask Red, the owner, on his facebook page. I think they respond quickly. I have seen children there. Sometimes on private events or for fundraisers.

Very fun atmosphere. Came on a Friday night and there was no cover charge, live music from 2…read moreseparate bands, and very reasonably priced drinks! The place was very busy but they have tons of seating which makes it still very enjoyable and lively. Would totally come again!!!

This is the most welcoming and coolest bar in the world…read more This massive, high-energy outlaw country space is an amazing, unpretentious venue you must see. The double-story building is a large, open Texas beer hall that blends modern and traditional saloon styles with an intentionally eclectic, whimsical vibe reminiscent of a theme park. For instance, the bathroom doors look like jail cells with hands on the bars, while the pristine stalls feature portraits of Merle Haggard and Johnny Cash. I used the Willie Nelson and was "on the commode again". The centerpiece is a huge, three-sided bar adorned with neon signs, vintage Western memorabilia, industrial brewing equipment, and a massive wall of taps. It serves both classics and ready-to-serve frozen drinks, which you can enjoy in the pet-friendly beer garden backyard party. Order you "two pina coladas and hope they fill 'em to the brim if your world is kind of rocky and you need to learn to swim." (That was Garth Brooks or Maya Angelou). The casual, amphitheater-like patio faces an outdoor stage built into the bed of a vintage truck. The live music (even 12:30pm on a Thursday) is loud enough to be festive but managed so you don't have to scream to be heard. The entire area is covered by a massive glass and steel retractable roof, ensuring comfort in any weather, in case you don't "love a rainy night nor think it's such a beautiful sight, and hate to feel the rain on your face, taste the rain on your lips in the moonlight shadows." (That was Eddie Rabbit or SunTzu). The seating options are excellent and varied. Groups can share high-tops around a gas fire or a lit tree, or even sit in kitschy sawed-off pickup truck beds with bench seating. You can also find lounge chairs near the outdoor fireplace, huge swinging benches, and plenty of folding beach chairs on the astroturf. For dining, you can order affordable bar food from a window and receive a pager, so there is no need to "might as well lay down and nap 'cause you've spent half your life just waiting on a nacho." (That was Brad Paisley or Abraham Lincoln).

Since we were already heading to the Stockyards, we were recommended to check out Billy Bob's…read moreTexas, especially because I brought my friend visiting from Ireland who was super interested in country line dancing! General admission is pretty reasonable--usually around $6 to $8 depending on the day and time you go. The place is absolutely massive!! I had no idea that it was so big!! Not only is there a whole dedicated dance floor but tons of pool tables, arcade games, and even a full indoor rodeo arena for live bull riding! I was misled and thought there was a mechanical bull.. there is not unfortunately but there is like a fake bull you can pay and take photos with. We happened to walk in right in the middle of a line-dancing class, which was super fun to watch! It's pretty amazing how quickly the dancers, both men and women, picked up the steps and choreography. They were all super good! Afterwards, it transitioned into open floor dancing, which was equally entertaining in my opinion! As a first-timer, it was a total blast and it's easy to see why it's such an iconic tourist destination. We didn't end up eating here since we had just grabbed dinner at Cattlemen's nearby, but the BBQ and other food options here didn't look super appetizing. Still, for drinks, dancing, and authentic Texas atmosphere, it's a must-visit when you're in the Stockyards!

I visited Billy Bob's as part of a private event. This was my first time visiting a Country Bar…read moreand Rodeo. I have to say that the experience was amazing. From taking pictures with the bull, to the amazing food and drinks, I had a really good time. The staff were friendly and professional and the band was awesome as well. The rodeo segment was really fun to watch as well as engaging and it made my experience next level. Overall this place was a total vibe!

First stop of the night and honestly wish we would've just left right away…read more The bartender with locs had a really bad attitude from the jump. No greeting, no eye contact, just came off annoyed that we were even there. When we tried to order, she was already snapping at us and then started cussing at our group. It wasn't just us either, she was talking like that to other people around the bar too. It made the whole vibe uncomfortable. We tried to play pool and didn't realize she was holding the white cue ball. We moved the table a little thinking it was fine and she immediately shut it down and said we couldn't play at all instead of just explaining it. Felt like an overreaction. Then I asked for a bucket of beer and she said aggressively she'd give me six beers but not a bucket... for no real reason. At that point it just felt like she didn't want to serve us at all. Not sure what she has going on, but that kind of service is not it. Definitely not a good look for the bar. I wouldn't come back and I'd rather spend my money somewhere else

Don't know how the bartender (locks) still has a job there. She is completely rude and seems like…read moreshe hates her job. First time at the stockyards and will definitely not be checking out this bar again. She tried to kick out my group for absolutely no reason. I've seen other reviews about her so I think we know who's the problem
