John T. Floore Country Store is a GREAT music venue, drinks food A/C on the inside.Charlie Crockett
I can't believe that I have lived here for 10 years and have not been to Floore Country Store until now. A friend had an extra ticket to see Ian Munsick so I got to experience this historic small venu. It was such a great experience! They have an indoor bar area as well as an outdoor bar area and plenty of space with great visibility of the stage. It was such a fun experience, I'm so glad I went and I would definitely go again. I think it was a smaller crowd so it could potentially get busy and fill up the space. I was lucky enough to be dropped off so I did not have to deal with parking but the entrance and outdoor bar were well staffed. I definately would go again to enjoy this Texas gem.
I love this venue and want to go back! It is very "Texas" and that's what makes it great. Drinks were good as well and the people who worked there were friendly. Only problem I had was a hard time seeing the stage.
Such a great place for a show. Real nice people work here so please dont Judson ISD this place. Beers are still around $12 but oh well it is America. Oh and the vip tables in the back are the way to go.
I've always wanted to come here. We planned on getting some food there, but they were not opening the restaurant till 7pm, and we were hungry. So we went somewhere else. Once we did to go in, it was pretty cool. The bands were going to play indoors, instead of outdoors. The ac was blowing pretty good, and it felt great inside. Once we got inside, we found us a table, seating was very limited for an indoor show. We got ourselves a drink, and the bar staff were quick and friendly. There were about 4-5 bartenders, and they did not mess around. Bathrooms are kinda of a hassle to get in and out of. I didn't check to see if the bats outside were open. The sound was great, you could hear everything that was being played. There was a dance floor, but the crowd was big and there was not a lot of room to dance. Still had a great time. Drinks are kinda pricy, guess the days when beer was $2 is over.
Great place to hear some great music. It's outdoors and have an indoor space too. There was multiple places to buy drinks, sit and use the restroom. Beware of the long ladies restroom line inside. There are port-o-potties out back. Highly reccommend for a good time.
We bought tickets that were higher priced for a specific level of seating and there is no seating! It was completely full and we couldn't even get on the floor. We had to stand on the outside! Bathrooms and beverage are forever!
A very nice country bar and dancehall, with character and style. In the past I've taken a dance class, here. Today it was tamales, cocktails, and three hours of dancing, a great time and a wonderful band!
This place is bigger than I thought. The bar part is decently sized but they have a huge outside part which is where the concert was at. I will be going back in the future to get a feel of what this place is like for just their bar. I didn't get anything to eat there only a drink which cost $12 and the bartended didn't know how to make it. I had to tell her what it was. Maybe it was just up charged because of the concert but sheesh $12!? I had a great time at the concert don't get me wrong but floore's really should have done more for people's safety. There was no walk way to get to the bar like there was so many people... it was almost a safety hazard. The police or workers should have told the people to make a walk way for safety but nope! The inside of the bar was nice though I would like to come back and experience in a more calming matter so I'll update my review when I do go back!
Good venue for a country concert. They usually have Texas country bands and classic country artists. The venue is big enough to accommodate many people. They also have an inside seating area with a small stage. Ticket prices vary. They have the VIP with a table section that sells out quickly. Then there's the VIP with seating. The seating is first come first serve and people do get there early. The general admission is standing. The VIP has their own bar. The bathroom situation is tricky. They have four stalls in the women's bathroom. They do have ports pottys. Free parking is limited. You can find parking for $20 across the street. They sell food in the venue too.
Came here for the first time and it was quite an experience. The space inside is pretty big but it can get packed quick so if you wanna ensure you get close to the stage show up early. Didn't try the food this time around but it appeared the kitchen was pretty busy so I'll have to check it out next time. Bartenders were pretty good and the drink I had was just right. I'm hoping to be back for more shows over the years.
I attended my first social distancing concert last weekend, and I kinda like it! My husband is a huge fan of Texas country and Floore Country Store has always been our go-to concert venue for all his favorite artists. We noticed they were bringing concerts back last week and decided to give this a chance. Here is what you need to know: 1- You can only purchase tickets by groups of four, six or VIP table. 2- Seats are not assigned, so it's first come first serve. You MUST stay at your seat the entire time, and they don't encourage dancing or standing during the concert. 3- Staff comes at takes your drink order at your seat and you can pay with cash or card. 4- Everyone must wear face masks while walking around the venue. They have a few officers around the venue making sure everyone is wearing a face mask. 5- Food is still available for purchase, but you have to order that inside. With all that being said, I really like this new social distancing concert style. If you've been here before, you know Floores get PACKED! I am 5'1" and is always a struggle to even catch a glimpse of the artists playing, so this new way of enjoying the concert from the comfort of your seat is pretty nice. I also really liked that you don't have to wait in line to get a beer! The staff was AMAZING and they would get your drink in no time.
Recently moved to the area and bought tickets to see the Bellamy Brothers. The day of the show it was a very cold day. I had read reviews about this place and prepared but was not prepared to learn that the concert was outside on this cold day. We arrived around 7 and were able to find a parking spot without having to pay for parking...about a block away. There was already a line waiting to get in. I saw many women carrying blankets...wish I would have known to bring one...but I had assumed the concert was indoors. We had premium seats and as soon as we entered, we walked over to the front of where the band was going to play. Plenty of chairs available but not really an area to dance. If you happen to visit in the summer or on a sunny day, there's no shade or umbrellas unless you purchase terrace tickets which are more expensive. I did love our seats....great view and sound was perfect. They do offer all kinds of alcoholic beverages and I did see people order food. Overall we had an amazing and fun experience and will visit again one day.

Always an amazing experience out here. Parking situation can be a little tricky but it's never too terrible at all. The staff are pretty friendly, it's a lot of teens who work it but the adults involved are very relaxed. The environment itself is super neat, it's not like anything you've seen before. It's an old school place and you can tell, there's so many great artists who have played here! The food is good too, I've had a few small items here and there. I saw they have Reese bros bbq here now, that just be a great treat, I've heard that place is awesome. Overall, it's a fantastic experience out here if you get the chance, check em out. Have a ball, enjoy life! read more

Saw Jon Pardi here last night. (And it was great!) Havent been to Floores in several years because I was not a fan of their set up.. Well, it's improved felt more "open" and I think there was a slight slant in the land going from back of venue to front of stage. I am pretty short, and towards the back, I could still see pretty well. Didn't eat there, but had drinks. Just basic beer, but they did have some other alcohol. OH! Best part.. I was trying hard to get tix. (Sold our show both nights) WELL! Floores has an area on their website to purchase other fan's tix. Yes. Like ppl who couldn't go for some reason post their tix for sale. THAT is how we scored tix the DAY OF show! Do not trust ppl online/fb to sell their tix. Scammers! read more

We've been her two times for concerts and it's a very fun venue. Though it does get pretty packed the spectators have all been friendly. All of the bar areas are organized and service is quick even though lines are long. I can't wait to attend my next event here or even drop by for a cold one. read more
I don't know the entire history of John T. Floore's Country Store in Old Town Helotes but it's a landmark treasure. Its probably best known as the musical birthplace of Willie Nelson. In October I had the pleasure of attending the Saturday concert of country music artist Jon Pardi. It was an awesome show that showcased his past hits and new songs from his latest record. I didn't get a chance to eat from thier kitchen but I heard they serve up some pretty good food. For smaller concerts Floore's has an intimate atmosphere with an indoor stage, dance area, with tables and for more popular artists the outside has a larger stage with elevated VIP sections along the side and back. General admission is standing room only in front of the stage and in the middle. So get there early if you want a great spot to see your favorite musician. Parking is available up and down Old Bandera Rd. Some of the parking is free but expect to pay about $10 to park at one of the many grass lots. Beer and liquor prices are about on par of what you would pay at a typical concert. Domestic beer like Lone Star is $6 a can. More for premium and mixed drinks. Floore's can't be missed. Everyone should go at least once for an experience you won't forget. read more

Today at John T Floore's I wanted cheddar bacon fries. So I went up and tried to order this. The lady behind the bar looked at me and told me "they don't like doing that!" I was shocked. They sell cheese, bacon and fries. (See pic) She was essentially telling me that the cooks are too lazy to fry up some fries and throw some cheese and bacon on them?? This is honestly the worst experience I have ever had in trying to order loaded fries! The rudest customer service ever. Will never order anything from this country bar ever again. read more
Great place to see a show! Outdoor elevated stage with lots of general admission space. Lots of Port-a-potties. There's also an elevated porch that faces the stage where you can pay a bit more for a table. The porch has its own bar and a couple of port-a-potties. You can also pay for a table on the covered porch just off the main dining hall. This is good because the stage is covered so shows go on rain or shine. Main dining hall has restrooms with a few stalls. The restaurant is basic grub like brisket sandwiches, etc., and a veggie burger is offered. Chips are the side and a pie selection is usually offered. Buy your food on the left and your beer/liquor on the right. Liquor selection varies, good selection of beers. Will definitely be back and will get a porch table. Loved the experience! Nothing like listening to great music with nice weather and a lightning show in the distance. read more
I'm no expert, but I have a feeling this is the best place to see the country acts that come to San Antonio. There's a small indoor stage and a wide open outdoor stage under the stars for larger acts. Acoustics seemed good and it's family friendly. I haven't seen any of the outdoor acts. As this isn't a bar, there is no smoking inside but there's plenty of outdoor tables. Food was served till 10pm the Sat night I went. Workers were very hospitable. They serve bbq, bbq related sides, and a small adequate selection of bottled beer. The brisket I had was as tender as I've ever seen, but can't stand up to Rudy's BBQ. Potato salad could have had more mayo for my taste but had an added twist of bits of jalapeno. Most nights they have cover. Parking isn't a problem since Helotes has expanded the street lots. read more

This venue has been the place of many memories made with my friends. With multiple bars and open areas it is a very comfortable venue to watch a show and grab a drink. The restaurant inside serves fresh Texas BBQ, and is a real Texas honky tonk. Near the back bars are many portapotties so you never have to wait long. read more
A perfect Honky Tonk. I've been to Billy Bob's, been to Cowboys I dunno how many times, but for my money, Floore's has em beat. If you watch a concert inside, it gets cramped quick, depending on who's playing, but it is retro and classic..boots hanging from the ceiling etc. Outdoors has kind of a county fair feel to it, but then they open the inside as a restaurant. The brisket tamales are totally worth it ! It's become my favorite venue for live music. Try it out and it'll be yours too. read more
