I recommend this place for adults. Read the reviews and you'll notice all the negatives come from the under 40 patrons. Yes the cover is typically $10.00 but, this is a live music dance venue. If you're under 40 and looking for cheap drinks and a place to misbehave... this ain't it. Well managed and staffed to attend to your request. The food is great and the bands are excellent! The dance floor is kinda small for the dance crowd this place draws and free dance lessons are scheduled regularly. read more

It's an amazing place, great food, good time. Definitely gave a Patrick Swayze road house kind of vibe.

This place is one of the few places to go out in this area but it's RIDICULOUS that they make you pay a 10$ cover. Especially being in this area with this average income, this is absurd. I get paying a cover for live music but they'll still charge this even when the music is done. I'm hoping they change this soon! read more

Best place around. Good food, good drinks, and great music! Always a good time! Live music is always a nice touch on the weekends.

The Good: The staff was friendly, we felt safe, the drinks were inexpensive (Tequila Sunrise & Angry Orchard), the nachos were good. There was a live band that sounded good. The Meh: If you want to dance with your parents or grandparents on a Friday Night, this is the place for you. I asked if it was always like this & a staff member said on Fridays they cater to a much older crowd and play music they like. They played three modern songs, the dance floor got exciting and then it was back to slow country & 80s "rock". The Bad: $10 cover charge per person. read more

Bo's Barn - Dance Floor - Dance Clubs Near Me - Temple, Texas

Being from Northern Virginia, we were very out of place. Visiting friends that recently moved here and I love these types of bars (not holes in the wall, but classic, old fashioned bars). From walking into the front door, hearing the witty banter between the lady at the front desk and everybody laughing, enjoying their time even before walking in really made me feel comfortable. Places like this where the staff knows their guest on a personal level is what makes a business really grow. The bar staff, ever the cocktail waitress, really made an effort to see how we were doing and if we were enjoying our time. The other guests are upfront, but polite. They could tell we weren't from the area (we're from outside of DC, it's not hard to pick us out of this crowd) and invited me to the dance floor. I'm not always great with confrontation like this, but it was fun; Will definitely be coming back when I'm back in the area! read more

Thought my wife and I would check this place out. We arrived about 5:30 pm and were the first there on a Friday night. We ordered some burgers and a side. I recommend eating before you go. Happy hour was until 8 pm. Pretty good draft beer and well drink prices. Upon paying a $10 cover per person, we found out all of the tables in and around the dance floor and bar were reserved for "regular" customers. This puzzled us until about 7:30 when the "regulars" started coming in. By 8:15 it was apparent that the medium age was 75 yrs old. We felt way out of place as did anyone who came in under the age of 60. We saw a few 20/30 somethings come in, have a drink and leave. It appears Saturdays are more of the younger crowd gathering, while Friday is the older crowd. I can't tell you what karaoke night is like. The band tonight was really good. The volume was low enough so you can hear the person next to you. So words of advice for anyone looking to meet people to dance with, don't go on a Friday unless you like dancing with your grandparents. ;) read more

We had a great time scooting around the wood dance floor. Service was good and drinks were priced well. Will visit again when we skate in town. read more

Was there Saturday night. (8/10/24) My first time. My burger was good,tater tots too. Our waitress was sweet and kept the beers coming. The band was great. They were taking requests and singing Happy Birthday to those celebrating. I'll be going again. Pretty damn sure.... read more

Excellent staff and Lola (owner) is always there if you need ANYTHING! If you're hungry, try their Fiesta Potato Skins or even just the French Fries (air fried with special seasoning). Lots of great people go here every weekend to listen to great Texas music and catch up with the regulars...and yes, am one!! read more

Horrible customer service food was not Cooked well and over priced. The establishment is not professional.

This place sucks. I was tattled on because I put my hat backwards and was targeted after that. I did it again because it's a habit for me. Not 5 seconds later one of the floor staff told me I'd be kicked out if it happened again. I understand they have a dress code but it seems like it is only for men. Because there were plenty of women wearing daisy dukes and see through shirts which is also against dress code. read more

Would be a great place for a good night. Ladies at the front are highly unpleasant. One lady's braces must be too tight making her a crabby patty. read more

First of all, I always think it's important to note that this is a smoking establishment (Yuck with a capitol Y!). However, that seems to be the norm in Temple, TX. The only reason I stayed is because they seem to have a pretty good ventilation (although I don't think I'll go back because the next morning I had a scratchy throat from the smoke pollution). There was an $8 cover and they had a live band. I had a really good time. Met some nice post grads from Mary Hardin-Baylor and overall I just love dancing so much that I had a really good time. read more

There was a cover charge for everyone, which seems ridiculous if people were gonna buy drinks anyways. I understand not being charged a cover if you're not 21 but literally lost the business of 6 people because they do charge. Also the establishment allows smoking so that's pretty disgusting. read more

The dance hall had live music in addition to a DJ and the place was very clean. You could shoot pool or sit down and enjoy a drink and something to eat. No smoking inside which is nice for people like me who are sensitive to it. People really seemed to have a great time and the band they featured was so easy to dance to you! I can't wait to go back! read more

BEST HAMBURGERS EVER! Big MEAT: Little BUN! Best sweet bread I've ever had. Clean atmosphere friendly people. read more

I continue to enjoy this place, the Bands always play good dance music the floor gets a fresh sprinkle for dancing every night. Yep it's a bar that I like to call My Cheers, and a dance hall that I can enjoy the Ladies on. Happy New Years, Ye Haw read more

Bo's Barn - Dance Clubs Near Me - Temple, Texas

Apparently to get a seat anywhere on a Friday night you have to call on Tuesday to have it reserved! We found out the hard way haha. Tonnnnns of people dancing and the band was awesome ! Happy hour was from 5-8 I believe ... Everyone working was real friendly . It's hard to practice our dance moves cause the dance floor was so crowded! Had the appetizer sampler with onion rings , motz sticks and jalapeño poppers. It was good! We will be back before we leave Texas ! read more

Hubby and I loved going here for a night out. Decent sized dance floor. Often have great live music. Happy hours were good. Owner and staff are nice and helpful. Call ahead to reserve a table.

Great place for dancing. Many ladies were receptive to dance requests. Rum and Coke cocktails are a bit weak IMHO but overall a super fun place to spend an evening practicing your Texas Two Step moves. Would highly recommend! read more

STAY AWAY from this place. As nice of an atmosphere and prices for drinks may seem, was not what it seemed. Was way overcharged on my tab that was closed, very shady business. read more

If you're fresh 21 but like country music and dancing i wouldn't waste your time here....The regulars stare, dance floor is small, and drinks were okay. Best just to drive to Waco & hit melody ranch. read more

I had so much fun! The band was great, the dancing was great and I had an overall great time! I don't know what kind of ventilation system they have but it was great, the smoke got sucked away right away! read more

Great environment, large dance floor, great drink specials and amazing food located off of I-35 and close to plenty of local accommodations. Thursday karaoke and Friday and Saturday always have live bands. read more

the worst. don't even try and come and have a good time. we came to dance, have a good time, made us buy their t-shirts after paying to get in because 2 of our men had sleeveless shirts from a concert thennnnnnnnn they kicked us out after going to the bathroom and kept our money for the shirts! do not waste your time and fun on this place. it's an absolute shame. the music is awful, and the staff is awful. it's psycho, don't do it. read more

The staff is rude as hell. Honestly if you want to have a good time you should rather stay home and drink , definitely never showing up again read more

This "dance hall" doesn't even deserve one star. The "dj" was disrespectful and in no way excited about his job. I was personally disrespected by the bartender and referred to as a b****. One of the bartenders tried to serve a friend and I after last call. I would not recommended this bar to anyone. It is boring and an unprofessional place of business. read more

Definitely not a place for anyone under the age of 40! My neighbor and I are new to the area and decided to have a ladies night and check out this place. The parking lot was supper packed so we figured we'd go in and do a little country dancing. The cover was $8...I'm wishing I would have spent that $8 on my weekly cheat meal at Taco Bell and dealing with the consequences of Taco Bell at 2am would have been better than this place. Everyone in this place stared at us as if we were wearing their favorite outfit just stolen from their closet. 95% of the people in this place were over the age of 55 and there was no new country playing...just the stuff played back when country started...1800! We sat down at some bar stools that were out of the way and clearly not being used. We were immediately approached by Susan with a bad attitude telling us how those seats were taken and once the owners of those seats returned from their dance we'd need to get up, I politely looked at her and said ok. A few minutes later I could see people were coming back so we got up, as we were already up and looking at them Susan comes over again and tells us they are back. We obviously saw that as we were already standing up...Susan is real smart! A few more minutes go by and one of the ladies in the group proceeds to tell us that we can have her seat once they all leave. Great, so happy I needed her permission to have a seat once they were gone. Anywho, we left at the same time they did and spent a total of 15mins in hell where old, miserable people go to die. Don't waste your money at places that clearly suck in every area. Anyone looking to move to this area....it's pretty sad besides the lake. read more

We've been here a few times and have always had a descent time. We were having a few beers celebrating my husband's promotion last night at a hole in the wall and decided to go to Bo's to dance and get some appetizers because the little place we started at had no food. When we got to Bo's it was around midnight and my two girlfriends were laughing and making fun of my excitement to get some food. I guess they were laughing too loud because the door girl told us "I can see that you have been drinking and I'm refusing to let you in". We had a few beers prior to that but we had a designated driver and nobody was tripping or puking or anything. It just came off very rude all over some laughing as we were walking in the door. I guess laughing and having fun with your friends is not ok in this bar. I think it's unfortunate that people seem to forget they are in the service industry and don't greet guests with a smile and welcome them and treat them politely. Left a very bad taste in my mouth for the place and we won't be recommending our friends to this place anymore. read more

Over priced! Waitress sucked music sucked, I will note be going back again. Please find somewhere else to spend your weekends. This place is not worth it. read more

Best country bar in central Texas since Melody Ranch in its hay day back in the 80's.

12/13/14 The band Pat Waters and Chainlink were playing and they are AWESOME!!! They play good ole 2-steppin music by the real country artists; Ray Price, George Jones, Hank Thompson, etc. We really had a great time. The smoke didn't seem to be an issue as it usually is at other bars that permit smoking. The dance floor is large enough, our waitress was terrific, very friendly. Hopefully, Pat Waters and his band will be back out there a lot and other bands that play good ole 2-steppin country music. read more

I visited Bo's Barn Dance Hall one time on a Friday and had a great time. I did not know that in order to get a good table a reservation is required but got a good location anyway right in front of the dance floor so I could watch folks dancing and having a good time. For an evening out with drinks, food, and a great band to dance too, I highly recommend this business although they should have a floor plan showing a number on each table and/or location in order to make placing a reservation much easier Bob Stone Harker Heights, Tx read more

Saturday night, not crowded. Table beside us full of loudmouthed smokers who kept redirecting the large floor fan onto their table and blowing their smoke onto us. Waitress informed, she could not have cared less, even laughed at us with the adjoining table. Our service stopped after that and we were forced to o to the bar and get our drinks. Will NOT be going back to this poorly managed dance hall. read more

Upon leaving Schoepf's BBQ's free live music of Roger Creager, my friend and I proceeded to Bo's Barn for a little bit. Once entering the establishment we learned of a $2 cover for guys only and not the ladies. Of course I inquired about why there was even a cover because Bo's has never charged a cover on Thursday evenings. I asked when they decided to implement a cover charge on Thursdays and the response was that they had just started charging the cover this very week. I then asked them if it was because folks go straight there after the live music at Schoepf's. The response that I got was astonishing. Bo's is charging a cover on Thursdays due to the fact that it gets busy and that glasses 'sometimes' get broken and that it's to cover the cost of broken glasses. If the glasses issue were true, then the establishment should take action and maybe implement PLASTIC THROW-AWAY CUPS instead of using ones that break during busy times? However, when I went to the bar and ordered my beverage, it was placed in a PLASTIC CUP! I am not concerned about the amount of the cover, but just that there is even a cover to begin with on a Thursday. There is only Karaoke (which is mediocre because the one heading it up doesn't really get the crowd pumped up). As a Temple resident I am very disappointed in the night life establishments due to the fact that they all charge covers when there is entertainment, whether it be $2 or $5. Charging covers really just puts a damper on the time spent at the establishment. Bars should cover the cost of whatever entertainment they have going on because if folks found out there wasn't a cover, it would bring in more people and hence purchase more beverages in turn making the establishment more money. Needless to say, if this is going to now be the new norm at Bo's on Thursdays, I intend to take my business elsewhere just as I've done with O'Briens and The Green Door. read more

I used to love to dance on Thursdays here at this dancehall. My friend and I are pretty good dancers and sometimes dancing is not a super modest sport, and slip ups happen. While we were dancing a staff member was staring at us the entire time. This made both of us mildly uncomfortable, but we ignored it. As my friend and I came off the dance floor a staff member came up to me and said "you should watch your dips I can see up your shorts and you really should keep your legs together". I understand coming from a place of concern; however, the way he did this was wildly creepy and inappropriate. As a bouncer of a bar you should be taught not to make customers feel uncomfortable. Finally, if this man did have a legit concern that would be a place for a woman to handle. He could have grabbed a female staff member. I will never step foot into Bo's again because this made me so incredibly uncomfortable read more

The owners are some of the nicest people I've ever met! Best small bar in town and the best place to be on a Thursday evening/night! Great specialty drink prices. Always a great crowd to hangout with. Check it out if you're rolling through town! read more
