This place has gone down in a tail spin for years. Their "DJ" Kermie or whatever doesn't seem to understand that the "Stampede" is a country bar. There's nothing country about this place other than the mechanical bull when you walk in. When asked to play country music, I was met with, "This is country." When he was playing pop, hip hop, and borderline techno. Seriously disappointed in this place and hopefully management can make a change back to their roots, but I strongly doubt it. Maybe a name change of the bar is in order. read more

Welp, another visit, another disappointment. Probably our last visit. After talking with people at another table, it looks like a lot of the people who like country music are now going to the wineries like Fazelli, Vitagliano and Lorimar for COUNTRY line dancing. Left early again because the music was terrible. The DJ seriously sucks. read more

Such a fun bar! The mechanical bull was very fun. The line dancing was a little too serious for our group and the cover was a little excessive for an afternoon with no one in there, but we had fun read more

Went with some of my friends! We were invited by our co worker. Her Dad was a dancing instructor. We had so much fun! Our friend is going back this coming Friday. We ordered some food and drinks. The food was okay! The service was great!!! The DJs upbeat music made you wanna dance all night long. Love the music Bring your friends it will be fun read more

I had a good time. idk why there are bad reviews. Have only been once but everyone was nice and the dancing was fun. There are line dances until about 11pm and then it's just normal dancing so plan accordingly. read more

I was really looking forward to visiting this place yesterday, but unfortunately, I left feeling disappointed. I fully cooperated with security during the entry process. As part of their search, they asked to check the bottoms of my boots. I had no issue with that and briefly held onto my friend for balance while lifting each foot. After that, one security member cleared me to go through, but another stopped me and claimed I was too intoxicated to enter--simply because I had held onto my friend. I calmly explained that I wasn't intoxicated and was only maintaining balance during their check, but they still refused us entry. It was a frustrating and confusing experience, especially since we were excited to go line dancing and enjoy the night. Security's judgment felt unfair and left us very disappointed. read more

OK I wasn't sure what to make of this place going in I'm not really into line dancing, and this place is all about the line dancing. We got there rather early 730. They already had their line dancing coach ( Phillep) right in the middle of the floor . We boot scooted ourselves around that floor for close to four hours, and we only paid a five dollar cover fee. Whhhhaaaaattttt! We burned off so many calories I was ready for a second dinner . The people were also nice , the music was great. It was very safe they've got tons of security around the building. They've got the mechanical bull if you feel so inclined. The cocktails are extremely reasonable in price. They don't bite your head off when you just ask for a glass of ice water . The bathrooms were very clean, air, conditioned dance floor. Again , I wasn't sure how I was going to feel about this place. I've heard reviews from people saying good, bad and just ok. However , I liked it. I liked it a lot and I think I'll go back and I'll burn a few more calories. read more

I came here on a Saturday night with a group of friends. There is a line to get in and security pats you down and everything which takes awhile. You can pay cover with a card though which was nice! Dance floor is large but it has railings which was unexpected to me. Railing on the edge and in the middle such that there was a square-ish dance floor in the middle and then a kind of "track" on the outer part for two steppers. For being a country bar, not much country music was played which was a bit disappointing. But still nice mix of line dancing and swing. Very spacious place and there were fans so no overheating thankfully! read more

Made this account just to tell you how much it sucks, the bouncers steal your stuff and are bullies. Drinks are mad mid. Atmosphere even more mid, hard to recommend this place with so many better places within 15 feet of this dump. Not to mention the staff overall just have a bad attitude and are incredibly rude. This is a must miss turd. read more

had an amazing time the other day. my first time there all the staff was so nice and they had great music. good drinks and food. Definitely a fun place to visit read more

I just went to the Stampede to celebrate a friend's birthday. OMG this place is so fun! The ambiance was great from the moment we arrived. They had fun lighting, several bars and food, a shop and bull riding. The music and line dancing was a total blast. We drove three hours to get there and are already planning another girl's trip to go back. 100% recommend! read more

First time at stampede, Paid the cover charge and within 5 minutes they escorted us out of the building for "multiple complaints". We were watching and waiting for the next song to go out and line dance. read more

We stood in line for 20 minutes when the bar was completely empty. When we got to the front they gave us a very hard time for having breast milk in a small thermos and pump parts and did not want to let us in, we felt extremely unwelcomed and charges a cover. We left after an extremely unpleasant experience that felt discriminatory towards new mothers. read more

Went for line dancing and had a great time on Friday night! Tony, the teacher, was very nice and inclusive of everyone of all levels. Music was good and the vibe from the crowd was great, too! Will be back! read more

When you prepay for a ticket and you stand in a NON MOVING LINE for an HOUR. Absolutely ridiculous

DON'T WASTE YOIR TIME OR MONEY! $10 cover charge to listen to a DJ play a few country songs mixed with other genres of music. As big as this place is and the set up they have, there is so much potential. Being the biggest country bar on the west coast is nothing to brag about if you don't have a live band that plays Country music. FIGURE IT OUT AND DO BETTER! read more

Highly don't recommend letting our kids there. Watched the security guard push the a disabled man with a dog onto a the ground. No one helped. I had to help him up and Temecula PD stood there watched. read more

Don't recommend this business. It's just not as fun as it used to be. We came in early for some lessons and that part was alright. This guy on the picture has this shirt but tells you he's taking a break. Fire him already. They only dance with girls they want to. We were also in line for drinks and lady behind us told us not to get food because it sucks. We ended up getting nachos just to munch on something and I think the nachos at 7/11 are better. Do I have 85 characters? I thought I posted this a couple months ago. read more

I'm not sure how they can even call this a country bar anymore. Or maybe they don't but it used to be. They didn't play one single country song while I was there. There was hardly anyone there on a Friday night. I left after about an hour. read more

This place is not it. Girl at the front with black hair checking my id gave me a look like she wanted to run me over whilst I got mine out to show. She continued to stare me down for the rest of the night and was a bystander to a situation in which a woman came up to me and told me to get off of the dance floor with two other people on it saying that I was going to bump into them, mind you I believe they worked there. So basically I paid 10 dollars drinks tips just to get treated so poorly when I know more line dances than I can count and have been line dancing since I was a child. Very rude staff. read more

Super fun! I love the vibe here! This place is huge. They got the mechanical bill in the front and big dance floor in the back. Everyone here are amazing dancers. You can definitely tell they are regulars. The shop owner was friendly. Cover is $10. I wish I knew all the line dances. Would definitely recommend coming here to have fun! read more

I wish I could give them 0 stars but a 1 star is the lowest review possible. I never write reviews, but this was probably the worst experience I've ever had in hospitality. This place is completely discriminatory, particularly towards Hispanics. I would even go as far as to call them racists. All of their staff was Caucasian, expect for one African American security guard. The night started when my wife and I decided to go there after our wedding with some of our guests. Once we arrived, they immediately denied us entry because they claimed my wife was "too intoxicated" and that "have higher standards at this establishment". This wasn't based on anything other than his opinion. My wife wasn't stumbling, slurring her words, or showing any sign of intoxication. I informed him that we are coming from our wedding and of course she has a few drinks but she wasn't drunk. She started getting snooty and I asked to speak to his manager. Once I explained the situation to the security manager, he even gave his employee a look like "come on dude, it's their wedding night" and he let us in if we promised not to consume alcohol. Within 5 minutes of us entering, they escorted one of our guests out for "being aggressive". However, there was no aggression present. My cousin had paid for the mechanical bull ride, signed the waiver, and as soon as he got on the bull, the employee told him to get off and start the process all over again. He explained that he already paid and filled out the waiver and she said "I didn't tell you to get on". After a few snarky comments, my cousin finally said something back and she had 3 security guards escort him out for being "aggressive". My cousin is a gay Mexican man weighing 120 pounds and is no way aggressive. This was about control. I asked to speak to the manager to find a middle ground and he was the worst of the lot. This manager was different from the security manager. This guy is also Caucasian, about 6'2", tattooed sleeves, and for lack of a better word, douchey attitude. When I asked why was he kicked out and if there was any middle ground we can find, he just smiled and said "I've never had any issues with this employee before and I'm not taking your cousins word over hers". I said "that's completely understandable as a manager, but that's only one side of the story. I've known my cousin longer than you've known your employee and I know he's not aggressive, so I in turn can't take her story over my cousins". His response was "you're being argumentative so guess what, you're kicked out too". I then said "it's our wedding day, and we brought 20 people to spend money and line dance here. Can't there be any middle ground?" He responded with "kick rocks". That's when I understood that he's the ring leader and why all other employees were acting the way they do. They think they can talk to guests however they want and kick you out if you call them out on their poor service. Since they kicked us out, all of our guests went to another bar down the street only to find out that manager called the surrounding bars telling them "don't let the bridal party in". We found this out when we arrived to next bar. Their security asked "are you the bridal party?" I said "yes" and he told us that the stampede manager called them to block our entry. But he said no way and let was kind enough to stay open after hours just for us. So to the smart ass manager at Stampede, looks like the jokes on you. read more

Terrible customer service and food is awful. You will get totally sick and health and safety needs to inspect that place.

Got kicked out by some power-tripping worker named Stan, who clearly thinks running a bar means running a dictatorship. We weren't loud, we weren't causing trouble -- just existing apparently offended his fragile ego. If you like stupid empolyees like Stan, and getting kicked out for breathing wrong, this is your place. Otherwise, literally anywhere else is a better night out. I lowkey enjoyed this place for the 5 minutes I was in there. I'm disapponted. good line dancing going on. Stan ruined our night thanks Stan read more

My friends and I are 21 and we decided to go to stampede on an 18+ night. We walked in and were excited to have a good night, we were having having a great time until a team member came over and told us that my friends and I were too drunk and she drew an x on our 21 year old hands. We did not appreciate this and tried to talk to people and they'd ignored us. I would not recommend this bar to anyone I had a very bad time . read more

Temecula Stampede - The fact that they drew this on our hands as legal adults - Dance Clubs Near Me - Temecula, California

If you're new to line dancing, don't bother coming here. A lot of try hards hijack the song requests and play a lot of dances no one knows to just to show off in the middle of the floor. Wish they played more songs that a majority of goers know. Such a shame. read more

Banned me for a year because they THOUGHT I was drinking alcohol, I'm 20 btw. Think they're bid d**k for banning 20 year olds. I wasn't drinking any alcohol, also did not get my money back and all the 18-20 year olds are drunk as is it. Also very rude. Never coming back even when I'm not banned! Goodbye. read more

The DJ tonight, Kirby, was absolute garbage and prejudice. He was so rude and negative, didn't even want to play country music. When requested country music he ended up acting so bitter even though the whole club wanted to hear it. He ended up clearing the whole bar with his snarky remarks and negativity. If you want this bar to survive, I highly recommend firing this dj! read more

The venue is huuuuge and gorgeous! Mechanical bull riding, a huge dance floor, multiple bars, and extremely friendly staff. However, it is SOOOO hot in here. like it should not be legal with how hot it is. Multiple people in my party felt sick from heat exhaustion even if they weren't dancing/ drinking water. There are a few fans in the place and everyone is clumped in front of it, the heat is that bad. Love love love the people and vibes here, but definitely don't come until late fall at the bare minimum. read more

LAME. Not for newbies or anyone not a regular. Not for country fans. Not for line dancing fans. Seems to cater to a very limited clientele of arrogant, scantily clad showoffs who try to impress everyone. Anyone new has to just stand or sit awkwardly and watch the "show" because we sure don't feel welcome on the dance floor. Came at 6 for lessons at 6:30. Lessons didn't start til 7:45!! Then it was 3 VERY short lessons, not very well taught, no apology for being so late, with 40 min of complicated dances for the regulars in between. Just no fun for anyone who doesn't come every weekend and can't possibly pick up the absurdly complex dances. Plus 70% of the songs were pop remixes, not country. Don't expect line dancing classics like Incahoots used to have! No cotton eyed Joe, watermelon crawl, god blessed Texas, boot scootin boogie, or cowboy cha cha. Just song after song of super fast pop garbage and complicated twirling dances only the regulars know. I even made some classic requests and they never got played. Just not a fun vibe for anyone looking for a true line dancing experience. Too much ego, showing off, arrogance, and superiority from those who have the ability to show up regularly. Newbies are not welcomed or wanted. We just get in their way apparently. Not worth the drive. Not worth the cover. Bring back classic line dancing and leave this crappy music and showoff vibes to regular clubs! read more

Love the vibe. Lines were long but it was worth it when we finally got in. It's not a typical slow paced country bar. Worth the visit. Loved the DJ! I can see why locals love the Stampede. Looking forward to coming back next time I'm in the area from LA to try to learn a line dance or two. read more

Lots of people are saying the DJ only plays hip hop, but as someone who enjoys both country dancing and pop line dances that isn't much of an issue. What is an issue is that Kermie is a horrible DJ. He has no musical sensibility whatsoever and often makes line dancing less fun by talking through songs and remixing needlessly. Line dancing doesn't need a DJ, it needs a cue of songs people want to hear. Additionally freestyle lasts too long and kills the pacing of the night. If I wanted to dance like I was in a club I'd go to a club. I paid to country dance. Stampede has so much potential but until Kermie learns how to serve the dancers better it will never live up to it. read more

Got kicked out cause Chloe pushed us thru the security line .. se curity girl followed me to the handicap restroom (I'm handicap) just to ask for me out of the restroom and make sure I wash my hands.. to kick me out! And she couldn't reassess me through security (George), said there's nothing she could do to get us back in I've been told by previous employees that is it hell... Just trying to enjoy mine and my husband's anniversary and got kicked out of a club like never before from getting entered from one of their workers and then getting kicked out. Made us feel less than read more

I went here looking for a good time listening to country music considering very few places play country in Southern California. Looks like a classic country bar but...They don't even play country... all pop songs and weird line dances...waste of time :/ read more

Me the wife and two friends went here and it was straight up awful. We paid cover got in, got the wrist bands. Then we decided to go elsewhere because it was dead and the security were creeps just staring at women. So we left and then after an hour we decided to go back because the wife wanted to dance. And we had one drink. Well I got back in, then they refused to let my wife in claiming she was drunk which SHE WAS NOT and she even walked in a straight line when asked . So I went I went to talk to security and they said she was drunk, and wouldn't give any viable reason. I asked for the manager and some dooche bag claiming he was the manager didn't care, and basically blew me off and I was being nice which was crazy. I asked for a cover refund since they had no viable reason and they refused and kept my money, shits wild like that. In a nutshell that place is horrendous and with terrible customer service. The security are creeps and treat people like ass. This company needs to fire all the security and get some with customer service or know how to run security especially when the people cooperate with them. Drinks are terrible and weak. I don't plan on going back, and people should read reviews before they go here. Other bars in Temecula are way more enjoyable than this place. Have a good day. read more

I wasn't the biggest fan of my time at stampede. Mostly because we had to stand in the pouring rain for 25 minutes while we waited to go inside (wouldn't let you under the cover outside) and then they searched you so aggressively it seemed unnecessary. Then there was a $10 per person cover charge. My friends and I got a drink and went right to the dance floor and then immediately dragged off because we had drinks in our hands. Whoops!? It was neat to watch the line dancing but I didn't even go back on the dance floor since everyone takes the dancing so seriously I would have gotten some looks for not knowing any of them lol. We rode the mechanical bull then we headed out! The bull felt like it was going so fast but watching the video back it was barely moving haha didn't even last 8 seconds, it was hard! Will probably only go back if it's sometimes birthday / an occasion to be in town. read more
