    Nice little spot. Very quintessential old Texas dance hall. Nice family came and brought it back to life.

    BRIDES BEWARE My sisters wedding was this past Friday at…read moreThe Oaks at High Hill and while the venue is beautiful, I urge you to not use their wedding "coordinator" Presley. We did receive a partial refund for her services but you can not redo someone's special day. Let me preface this by saying she is very friendly this is not a personal attack just my personal experience. 1. She arrived late on wedding day 2. We had to ask where vendors were 3. Grooms lunch was late 4. She did not direct photographers 5. We had previously asked for assistance with clean up during cocktail hour and after dinner that was not given. 6. She spent a good amount of time behind the bar. 7. We found out we were her first ever wedding as it was happening. Which should have been discussed before we hired her. 8. I did not see her for most of the evening. Nor did the guests. I missed so much of the wedding because I was acting partially as coordinator. This is time with my family and sister I can't get back, I am truly disappointed and we did not receive day of planning services as described. Had we known that this was her first wedding we would have never proceeded with hiring her through the venue and would have found an outside professional.

    Sunday, 5-31-2026: We were visiting the quaint little town of Gruene (pronounced "Green"). It's…read morevery historic. At one time cotton was grown here until a boll weevil infestation wiped out the crops. Anyhow, I could hear live music emanating from this dance hall. Some of our family entered the hall because they needed to use the restrooms. We waited while listening to some good, live country music. I could see it was a very relaxed, casual, & family oriented gathering place. Then I found out this dance hall is one of the oldest in Texas! My husband and his family have fond memories of being at dance halls. This was so interesting to me because it's such a different culture from mine. We didn't have dance halls in the Philippines or California. There is a bar you pass by to get beer and other spirits. I don't as told that locals & visitors will leisurely hang out here. There are photos of notable people who have played music here.

    It's quite an experience to be inside this hall. A historic landmark and a popular event venue in…read moreTexas. When we walked in, I see the pictures of popular artists and performers who had been at this place posted at its reception wall. We happened to catch a nice band playing country songs that we liked on our visit. It would be nice if they have open up the dance floor but I guess it's only during nighttime visit that they do that. You could place an order of drinks or an appetizer while watching the show. Or if you feel like staying in the bar, where you could still hear the band , you are welcome to do so . How cool is that ? The location is in a busy community street and popular small town. It's worth swinging by during a visit in this area.

    this is my all time favorite bar and dance hall. i LOVE this place with my whole heart. mind you, i…read morelive in new braunfels and make the hour and a half commute to be able to make it every wednesday. the staff is amazing. all of the bouncers are so sweet, and all of the bartenders have been great with the few interactions i've had w them. i don't drink so i don't have much to contribute in that area. the overall vibe here is the BEST. i've been to a lot of dance halls, whether that be mavericks, gruene hall, etc., and the ambiance at wild will forever be so much better. other places feel like clubs, don't have great dancing, or people are very sociable. my experiences at wild people have always been so kind and are like family at this point. it's not too bright or too dark, they play great line dances and maintain balance for country dances and line dances. wild west has my heart and will forever be worth the drive and worth me adjusting any plans i have lol. for those complaining about no country music or not the vibe you were wanting: familiarize yourself with their calendar. if you're wanting to two step, go on a wednesday or a friday. if you're wanting mainly line dances, then saturdays aren't going to be up your alley. i will forever move mountains in my schedule to be able to make wild wednesdays lol. if it means i miss a day of a trip i don't care, i'll be there. i think yall get the gist. thank you wild for giving me the best memories and such amazing friendships

    Great service! There are several different drink options including beer and whiskey. I had a few…read moreDos XXs and good conversation. The bar offers free dance lessons with the cover price entry ($6). Come one Come all, just come.
