It has a divey feel with some pool tables in the back and a vending machine that sells random things. The bathrooms were not that clean, adding to the divey vibe. The line to get a drink was a bit slow as the bartenders were stopping and talking to people. They have lots of beers in cans and mixed drinks as well. I'd stick with the beers however, which were fairly priced. We watched the band for awhile and even danced a bit on their small dance floor. The crowd there was friendly and we met some new people along with others in our group.

They did taste somewhat watered down. The bartenders were pretty efficient & responsive. $5 cover charge for karaoke was automatically charged when you open your tab. Free karaoke on Wednesday. This is why it's 4 stars - the 3 karaoke screens, space, sound quality, & mics. Ppl come here to sing and have fun & they do!! The DJ is very efficient & responsive to song requests. People kept coming even after midnight & everyone was just having fun! After a while, you don't notice the old cigarette smell anymore... lol. I have never seen so many ppl of all ages who actually came to sing & most were pretty good at it! We heard songs from almost all genres. The "spontaneous" decor, with no artistic values, is actually funny. So, it was absolutely worth what we went there for!

It was nice being able to enjoy live music and relax. Love the dimmed setting, wooden tables, metal hardware and fixtures, repurposed barrel tables, and neon lights.

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 totally…read moreunderstand them taking safety precautions, but in my opinion, if people are ready to go to a bar, they are ready to have some fun and play the games/entertainment available. The bartenders were very nice and accommodating. The bar was clean and semi-busy. All drinks were pretty standard. Nothing extravagant or different. Please open your pool tables and dart board, it will double business and give your patrons more reasons to come out and play. Other guests were also complaining about the pool tables and dart board being unavailable. We would have stayed a lot longer if it was available. We would definitely return and highly suggest everyone to try this place. Especially if you are looking for a casual, no-nonsense bar. The music is good, but not too loud. You can still talk to the person next to you.

Extremely disappointing and unacceptable experience - Halloween night…read more I visited Stockyard Saloon on Halloween night with a group of friends, and what happened was completely unacceptable. While we were using the restroom, a female bartender aggressively started banging on the door, yelling, "Hurry the fuck up," because she needed to use the restroom herself. Her behavior was incredibly hostile and unprofessional. Things escalated even further when she became confrontational, appeared to want to physically fight us, and actually pushed one of my friends. I have never experienced such disrespectful and aggressive behavior from someone working at a bar. There is absolutely no excuse for an employee to verbally abuse customers or put their hands on them. Management seriously needs to address this situation. Employees like this should not be interacting with customers, especially when they cannot control their own behavior. We went out to enjoy Halloween with our friends and instead had to deal with an aggressive bartender who made the entire experience uncomfortable and unpleasant. I would not recommend this place based on our experience.

I like how they have a dancefloor and they have an even spread of country and top 40/rap music throughout the night. The drinks are average price. The bartenders are cute and friendly. It really picks up as far as the crowd and dancefloor goes around 11:30 or so. This is the place we go when we have under 21 friends that come along. One night I was dancing on the dancefloor with a drink in my hand and a cop pulled me off the dancefloor and told me to go outside. I was pretty confused, but then realized my armband was under my sleeve. I showed him then he said "oh ok" and he let me go. They are pretty strict here as far as underage drinking goes, obviously.
