Our karaoke host, Kitty, was absolutely amazing. She brought such great energy to the room and got everyone involved. Her vibe made the whole night so much fun, and you could tell everyone was having a blast. We came with our group and sang our little hearts out! The crowd seemed like a bunch of friendly locals, and everyone was so laid-back, welcoming, and supportive. The atmosphere was honestly one of the best parts of the night. Shoutout to Sammy the bartender, you absolutely killed it! Not only were the drinks great, but your singing was incredible too. You were seriously multitasking like a pro. Overall, this place gets a 10/10 from me. Amazing people, amazing atmosphere, and an unforgettable karaoke night. If I'm ever back in Houston, this will definitely be one of my first stops! read more

We had so much fun stopping by on a Thursday evening. We missed some of the line dance lesson (which starts at 7:30) but caught the end. It was packed! I like how the instructor talks about the steps on the mic but there are people positioned throughout the dance floor who know the dance who you can follow. We stopped by with a few of our friends who come more regularly and have mastered some of the dances! Some are more complicated than others but in general these are fairly tricky dances. There's a website you can use to practice the dances at home to prepare for each week. After the lesson there is more open dancing and they play various line dance songs for anyone to join. They also include the song that was covered during the lesson. It's fun to watch - so many folks here are really talented. We only bought some waters and did not try any of the drinks so I can't comment on those. Service was good and the lines at the bar move pretty quickly. We've already been talking about going back here to check out another line dancing class! Would definitely recommend. read more

Everyone is a friend here, from dancing to karaoke, it was an absolute blast, bar lines weren't insane, and we had the most fun ever.

Pretty good vibe and good crowd. I went during a busy Saturday night and sadly karaoke was booked for an event other wise I would've done that. Line dancing was fun and people were super creative with the dance Overall it was goo read more

This is a cute country bar! The dance floor is decorated with very eye catching decor. They play a good mix of music to two step and line dance to. I liked that there were pool tables, darts, and a karaoke room as well. The place does get a little stuffy, so I found myself standing underneath a fan a lot throughout the night. Drinks were also pretty affordable here. A BIG criticism I have about this place though is that they charge for water... who does that?! Their competitor, Whiskey River North, has free water stations located throughout their bar so coming here and finding out I had to pay like $2 for the tiniest cup of water was a bit insulting. Y'all better do something about that. Other than that, I'd like to check out their line dancing Thursdays sometime.... They seem fun. read more

I've been to Neon Boots a few times, only when Mario, Stephanie, and sometimes Lindo are teaching West Coast Swing though. They are fantastic instructors--I've taken classes with Mario and Stephanie elsewhere, and they're both super nice and incredibly talented. While I personally prefer a more structured classroom setting, this is still a solid place to get your dance fix. Neon Boots is a good spot if you enjoy country-western. If you're into West Coast Swing, it depends on the night. It's generally an older crowd unless the west coast dancers are there. Because of the timing for classes, traffic is a nightmare coming from the downtown area. If you are coming from west Houston, it won't be as problematic. Another nightmare -- the drinks. The wine is terrible, the margaritas are worse, and the cranberry vodka tastes cheap --barely tolerable. My official recommendation? The water. Overall, this is a good spot, but be prepared for a couple of older guys leading whip instead of west coast. They can be pretty rough - I hate it, but it's only three minutes of pain and suffering. read more

A few friends and I wanted to learn how to line dance and saw that Neon Boots had a free class on Thursdays so we went out to learn a couple of dances. When deciding to go, we didn't do much research and had no idea it was primarily for the LGBTQ community, but that wouldn't have stopped us anyways. While it's pretty empty at the start of the class... the dance floor is packed by the end of the class. I will note that we have been multiple times and our experience has varied based on the instructor and the dance difficulty. For our first class, we had two great instructors with medium level of difficulty dances and had an incredible time. The patrons visiting are so friendly and everyone helps each other out with the steps as needed which is also nice. Our second visit had a difficult dance and even the instructor seemed to be lost so we didn't really learn much and just ended up chatting most of the time but regardless - it's a fun place to visit. The drinks are reasonably priced and they also have karaoke! Definitely worth a visit! read more

Great music, nice band, had karaoke. Even had a great poke dancing contest. Lots of fun, just wish they had stronger drinks.

Caroline was a bomb ass server, she's so cool! Excellent drinks and conversation. Omar was playing karaoke the other night and he was so charismatic. I will definitely be coming back! read more

Highly recommended. Great location to dance & celebrate a birthday. Great management team.

Awesome inexpensive place to dance & karaoke! I came Thursday night when they have line dancing lessons and it's country themed (I think). It was actually pretty crowded and parking was a little challenging. I loved the energy! The lesson was at a good pace for me who is ok at dancing (If you aren't coordinated, the lesson may be too fast paced). After the lessons, they have open line dancing and the regulars know the dance to each song. As a newbie, it was intimidating to see how everyone seemed to know the moves to each song - I'd jump in sometimes and not figure out the steps until the very end of the song. FYI, the music can be loud - if you become a regular, I'd definitely recommend getting earplugs. They have a separate room for public karaoke - luckily, not many people were there when I went so we were able to get in plenty of songs! They have free popcorn, $1 jello shots (I think), complimentary water. I definitely want to come back for the free dancing + karaoke opportunities. The atmosphere is very inviting and chill! read more

Online/social media they seem to post pictures of t crowded on weekends and that it's a great place to go. While drinks are cheap for Houston, when I went, we still paid a 5 dollar cover charge for an almost empty space on a Saturday night. The crowd was also very weird (people sucked each others fingers while dancing) and the dance floor was almost empty the whole time. If looking for a good dancehall vibe in Houston I would look somewhere else. Also had a one stall bathroom for women and a male bathroom with no door read more

We've been coming here on Friday nights each week, and let me tell you we fell in love with the place. The music is great, they have two rooms one is karaoke and one is for dancing. Friday nights is Latin night and also gay night. It's straight country nights the rest of the week; they even have line dancing lessons I believe in Thursday's. read more

We had so much fun here...can't wait to come back! Everyone was super friendly and drinks were not overly priced read more

The bartenders have NO sense of urgency. The music was also a miss for me. There was nothing about it that said "Hey there cowboy! Do you wanna two step?" The drinks were a little weak as well. read more

Love love love the vibes here and our favorite part is the karaoke room! We had such an amazing DJ and her voice was a blessing to hear! Definitely made us feel like the life of the party! I will for sure be coming back when I am in town! read more

Super fun dance hall! The history in the place is amazing, firstly. The old Esquire ballroom was a huge deal in the 20th century. All of the big Country Western singers came here, and the huge dance floor is still original. We came on Saturday night, which is country night. My husband and I love to dance so we were stoked to finally find a "honky tonk" to dance at. We were not disappointed. They had a DJ, who played requests and a great mix. This is a great place to dance, even if it's not on a country night... Check their schedule for all the cool stuff that's happening. Also, this is an LGBT+ friendly place. I'm so glad to find that openness on the northwest side of town! read more

The music was great, we loved the dance floor -- And the karaoke was so much fun with a stage and microphones - so perfect! AND there were great photo ops. And good drink deals too. Thank you for a great night!! read more

Neon boots is a better option than other country venues for Houston dancers that want to practice west coast swing as they play a more balanced mix of country and west coast swing music. Plenty of space to dance on Sunday evenings. read more

Yeehaw! I finally found a place to fulfill my weekend nightlife. I'm becoming a regular on Friday nights. It is advertised as a Latin Night, but they don't just play Latin songs. My first time here, I stayed from 7 pm to 1 am and witnessed variety of entertainment. Neon Boots Dancehall & Saloon is the most diverse club I could find. Talking about diversity, there are men/women, gay/straight, young/old, multi-ethnicity crowd, interracial couples and music from country to popular genre in English and Spanish. It was fun to watch people moving from Boot Scootin line dance to electric slides to cupid shuffle to cha cha slides like no big deal. The disc jockeys really know how to work the crowd. I don't think you'll see me on the dance floor anytime soon. But I plan to take some line dance lessons before I step my own toes. I spent most of my evening in the Esquire Room, where karaoke took place on Thursday, Friday and Sunday. The karaoke jockey is skilled to make you feel welcome. I'm so amazed with his resource because he could find any songs from his online library. If there were no one singing, he'll pick up the mic and entertain everyone in the room. Unlike other karaoke bars, I never felt out of place here as have to worry about competing with highly skilled singers. I select my songs and practice with my baritone voice beforehand. So, I won't make a fool of myself. When I first heard about Neon Boots a couple of years ago, I thought it was just a gay bar far away from the typical Montrose district. I was wrong. There are so many different venues during any operating week: Bingo night, steak night and dance lessons. Occasionally, few non-profit groups use their spaces for fundraising activities. No wonder Neon Boots has been recognized as the biggest and best dance club by many local publications. If I had an out-of-town guest, I'll include Neon Boots Dancehall as the final destination. There are more culture experiences to share under one roof as nowhere else on Earth. Watch my in-app videos for various angles at this huge facility, as well as on YouTube https://youtu.be/Orur6ZS9E9E. (Corrections on my in-app video captions: Friday night karaoke opens until closing and "go cowboys" was not implied to the football team.) read more

Amazing service and lovely ambiance! They have free line dancing on Thursdays! Would definitely recommend

They charged me for 9 tables when I only received 2. I've been contacting them for a refund but they have continuously ignored me.

The place just did some renovations to their back patio area and it looks amazing, so nice. They also have a karaoke section. If that's your thing you enjoy. We took a friend there for her birthday on a Sunday and it wasn't too crowded again probably cause it was a Sunday, but she loves karaoke, so we enjoyed that for a little bit. The Dance floor is amazing. Plenty of room to dance around . The staff are amazingly nice. We will visit again when we are in town. read more

Awesome place to dance at. Dancefloor is about as good as Guitars and Cadillacs in Ft Worth, or Mavericks in Austin, TX. I'd highly recommend the Gummi Bear drink, it's so good! read more

One of the best country bars I've ever been too. The music was great and Fridays Latin night was crazy packed. I've been a few times ands besides the dj playing the same songs every Friday I love the place. Stephanie is my favorite bartender!!!! She makes the best drinks and has the best attitude. I only go to her when I'm there read more

This used to be a popular bar on Saturday nights, The only thing keeping Neon Boots doors Open are the Latin Nites on Fridays, I arrive near 9pm. The parking lot is near empty and the inside a Morgue.. I arrive before 9pm to avoid being charged a $5 cover to sit in a empty Bar and Dance Hall read more

Every time I have gone to this bar, the male bartenders are freaking rude. It is NORMAL to be hollered at and interrupted by them. They're angry older gay men and really should just retire already. I have seen them do it to many of the female patrons. The Dj...what a joke! For a country music bar, they play a lot of Spanish and pop music. Many times, clearing the floor. I brought my tip money up to the booth and requested a song (not one person was dancing) and the dj told me that it was going to kill his vibe. You don't tell a customer that and I asked him what vibe...no one was dancing. He played my country dance song and couples spilled onto the the dance floor. I think the dance hall is a great idea but the owners really need to clear out the angry old men and hire a more professional group of people. Gentlemen, we are on the same side, be nice! Mr. Dj, chill out on the Spanish music...one or two songs an hour should be enough. As soon as another Spanish song comes on, the dance floor clears and you're customers are bitching about you. Take the hint. read more

This place could have been a great experience but when bartenders skip you 5 time while your waiting to order and don't offer itemized receipts seems shady. I would probably not be going back and also the fact they have no food available for the customers is sad. The vibe was good but wasn't able to enjoy because of the service. Hope this helps. read more

This place was awesome. My husband and I were invited by a friend that is a regular here. She said we would have a blast and she was so right. The staff was amazing and everyone was there to have a good time. We met some really great people. I loved learning the history about the bar. They have a wall of all the famous people that performed here. It was so cool. We can't wait to go back. read more

Went here for a comedy show (which was super fun) with a group of friends. When the Lyft driver first pulled up we were "uh oh, what is this place". On the outside it looks like maybe it used to a church? Or a strip club? It looks pretty sketchy from the street. However, once you walk in, it is huge and beautiful and super clean! The female bartender was hella slow, but the drinks were tasty! The outdoor area was quite spacious and also very clean with live plants and all kinds of seating arrangements! The crowd was a little older; I didn't really see many young folks there, but the people were very nice and genuine without all the fakeness and drama that comes from the young ones! We will definitely be going back when another fun event happens here (there are signs everywhere for Halloween and other upcoming events) and I heard they do good drag shows for charity. read more

Love this place get your dance on with tejano and country music !! A great place to get rid of your stress from work and family lol

One of my favorite places in Houston! I don't think you'll find a cleaner, prettier, roomier LGBT country and western bar! Beautiful dance floor, beautiful decor, friendly staff and great drink specials. And everyone is welcome - it isn't just for LGBT people. The owners put a lot of heart and soul into this place and it shows. They have a beautiful large patio, free dance lessons, game nights, karaoke nights, they host shows for different community organizations, as well as concerts by country artists like Ty Herndon. Check out their website for specials and to find out what's going on there throughout the week. Then come show off your boots - but don't forget, NO DRINKS ON THE DANCE FLOOR! read more

I visited your bar, tonight December 30th. For the first time since Covid with 7 friends to celebrate our friends 31 st Anniversary! We arrived there about 10 ish and went to the bar where 2 female bartenders were tending . There were 2 patrons at the bar. We were never welcomed and never acknowledged. We stood there waiting for one of the 2 bartenders to ask what we would like and they totally ignored us, like they were too busy to take an order. You would think after Covid you would want the business, but not these two women! So we left!! And took our business to another gay club! These two were at the front bar, where they were the only ones! I have been to your bar a number of times and never treated so rudely! My friends and I won't be back anytime soon! Maybe you should train these two bartenders on how customer service works! I will be spreading this treatment to many of my friends! There are other gay clubs to go to that know how to treat their customers! They should be ashamed !!! read more

If you are a member of the gay community on Houston, this should be on your radar. Not just as a place to go get your two steppin' and drink on. This is a great place for so many benefits and fund raisers for our community charities and organizations. I am not a go out and close the bar down gal anymore. But I do enjoy a good game of darts, pool or bingo! So I am not reviewing the place as a night club. I am a happy hour or special event bar goer these days and this is a nice place to do that. But if you check their website or Facebook page you are going to see a LOT of events that benefit local gay charities, steak night, dance lessons and special Saturday's for us middle aged ladies who remember The Ranch. If you are a middle aged guy or gal who likes a big safe parking lot and a mug of Jack and Coke and clean bathrooms, this is a great place for you. read more
