On this past Saturday, My friend celebrated the second part of her 50th Birthday Sparking-chic at Whiskey River West location. We arrived in a nice luxury party bus. When we got off the party bus they offered us a one complimentary drink ,and one free bull ride card. So of course, everyone was excited to get on the dance floor. Also, they had two DJ's one inside and also on the back patio outside too. We definitely had an amazing time. I can't wait to try out the other locations too! read more

As a regular, I have to say I am genuinely disappointed with the new patio DJ. DJ Kaos's rude and disrespectful attitude when I asked if he could play a popular country line dance--one many of us in the dance community were looking forward to --really dampened the experience. It truly justifies why many of the line dancers are moving and spreading to other Houston country bars! read more

We had a freaking blasts! We saw the packed parking lot from the street and new a time would be had. Was out with military so very easy parking. Tall glass of water checked our ids. They are very well versed on the neighboring states so please don't come here and get embarrassed. You will be out entertainment! Ambiance - country mechanical bull but also lots of chandeliers Food - small side area that has tacos, nachos, quesadillas still serving after midnight. Thankfully you can easily get these items without meat. Service - fast and fun. It was girl's night, spring break, rodeo was in town, some folks got engaged, bartenders were busy. A few pulled out some HOT trips that has fire moving from left to right. The dj was amazing. There's no way you can stay seated. We missed the dance lessons but will try them later. A great way to have a good night out. read more

Great environment just a bit packed on Latin night, overall decent prices an great DJ

I have to give a big shout out to the reservation director Joey Huhner at Whiskey River West. I decided to go out of my comfort zone and celebrate my 50th birthday out on the town. I chose Whiskey River West because I love me some country music and dancing. When I booked my party Joey told me not to worry and everything would go smoothly. When I showed up with my party we were escorted to our tables and introduced to our server Jade. Jade again ensured us she would be taking care of us all night and if we needed anything extra aside from our already ordered drinks to let her know. I have to say this place got packed and rightly so. The DJ was playing a great mix of music and dance songs. Jade continued to make sure we were taken care of and my party was amazing. I was surprised when the staff walked out holding signs and sparklers to celebrate my birthday. Embarrassed was more like it but I enjoyed it very much. There was also a taco set up so we could grab some late night snacks on our way out, separate from the establishment but still within. Needless to say I so enjoyed my BD and I highly recommend this place for your next celebration. Thank you Joey and the staff for everything. read more

What really went well together was my Dance Instructor/ Dance Partner and 1 hell of a lover Jan Bonner & I .He taught me to dance..and we danced for ever until it stopped one day.....I am still hanging on to the memories no one can ever take away.... Good and Memorable times were made here!!!! read more

They have a mechanical bull-$3.25 per ride. The dance area was great. It is very busy on Saturday nights so expect a line around 10 pm. Bar tenders were easy to flag down and drinks were strong. Music was mostly country with some dance/pop mixed in- easy to find someone to give you dance lessons here! read more

Ok...look I know many of "US" be worrying about who's there...LOL it was a cool vibe, hip hop videos playing, during country music ...LOL but it works! They do switch it up and play different music..Staff is great and you can ride a bull...it's got a cool vibe! read more

Customer Service is atrocious. The uninformed security "bouncer" who scans cards at the door will not let you in even if a picture of your card scans and is valid. They claim it's TABC regulation which it is not. Be prepared to be turned away even with valid IDs. read more

I have been to this place multiple times. I loved the Patio and the amazing bartender, Keeley, that has been there for about 4 years. I went last night and she is NO longer there. She loved her job and was great at it. What I would like to know is WHO is the complete MORON that thought it was a good idea to let her go. She has a large following of regular customers(who I hope all see this and never come again), and was a loyal employee. I am not sure what made either the manager or owner do such an idiotic thing, but they might want to find a new profession because you stink at valuing your employees. You apparently have no idea what a good employee looks like! read more

I went last weekend and some little white kid came up to me and wanted to fight but just was doing a lot of talking really never actually swung on me, then he proceeded to call me and my friend the N word so the security decided to kick out me and my friend I guess because they didnt like the way we looked either, anyways after they kicked us out the security asked me for my id and stole around 300$ out of my pocket along with some other personal belongings and told us we would go to jail if we didn't leave, if you're white you will probably be alright going but I'm never going back read more

I was with my friends coming down the stairs and i accidentally spilled my drink because a big girl bumped into me . The security said I was cut off after that . I was like whatttt I think they need to hire more professional security because that was very unprofessional, The general manager was very professional in resolving this issue I give her professional credit for this.. But all my Friends was disappointed about how the security kicked me out they were 4 of them ready to punch me I said guys I'm good but all of them were pushing me My friends were disappointed by what happened, unfortunately they had to leave there too. read more

Whiskey River West - This is of them - Country Dance Halls Near Me - Richmond, Texas

Driving through Texas I wanted to stop a bar that had country dancing and mechanical bull-riding. Found it all here and more! All the staff were super cool, the guy checking ID's, the bartenders, the food vendors, everyone. Someone showed me how to two-step!! I didn't do too well on the mechanical bull but it was so fun, overall had a great experience. Exactly what I needed. (: Also the beer bottle chandelier was the cherry on top. read more

Giving it a 1-star since negative isn't an option. What a horrible experience! I would never go back and wouldn't even recommend it for my worst enemy. Besides being in the middle of nowhere I did not feel safe at all. The main parking lot is reserved for valet but about 75% of seemed to be empty. The self parking was across the street in what seemed to be a poorly lit, lot of unmarked spaces. The staff did not appear to be trained appropriately, didn't know what they were doing and on top of it all were extremely unpleasant. What a winning combination! I couldn't wait to leave. Save yourself the trouble and avoid this like the plague. read more

Wholy crap yelpers..... Well its a pretty cool place to hang. Make sure you get there on happy hour or get charged 10 bucks for a crown and coke... Always a good vibe. Two stars is because live behind them. I was in a mad rush and bought a bouse without the research... my bad. Wholy crap its loud at night. The people that live in the subdivision has complained but thats all a persone can do. They continue to keep the music loud. I give them a two stars because they are not working with the public to keep the music down. Ok ok yes I get what your thinking. But Bobby J you go there isn't that being a little two face? Well yelpers I don't mind the Friday Saturday and also the Thursday crowd. But come on, I'm up like 530 ish on Monday. Can they just keep the Sunday crowd music down....?? Well, I've invested in a fan and Boise ear pods with noise canceling. That works pretty good. Peace out yall..... read more

They advertise a Thursday Latin Night special, but don't let anyone in until the special is over. It feels misleading--why promote something on flyers if you're not going to honor it? It's frustrating and seems dishonest. They make us wait in lines for hours while it's hot the least they can do is have fans put up and offer cold water . read more

If I could leave 0 starts I would got there at 8pm waiting in line for 2hrs for them to tell us they're at capacity and VIP is their priority! Could've told general admission they were at capacity instead of having us wait 2 hours in line in this heat !! SMH DO BETTER! read more

DO NOT SHOW UP ON HOLIDAY EVENTS! (Easter, Fourth of July, Halloween, etc) No proper management as far as admission process. Super long lines & people WILL cut the lines. It infuriates folks & can cause fights which is a major safety concern. If you show up @ 8PM on a holiday event, you will be in @10PM (VIP will be tended to first & learned it is inexpensive). On holidays, VIP will only allow 1 person instead of 2. Any other day, its a great time! Asinine is the best word to describe it all. read more

This place feels like home to me. Moni is very helpful and manages so well. Every single bartender is hardworking and knows what there doing, Especially the front bar. Miguel and his family at the front bar are dedicated to serving you and giving you the best experience possible. The security, Thomas and Steven Specifically not only care about the safety of there staff, but the customers as well. The bar backs work wonderfully at keeping the place clean during business hours as well. The vibe is always fun, and carefree. The girl at the front desk always greets with a smile as well and is there to help. DJ Damian is my favorite, and always gives a wonderful variety of music. If your hungry, don't forget to get some tacos near the front door. So yum after dancing the night away! Like I said. It's home. read more

Latina/mexican bar tenders do not give u option to freely tip. They closed your tap with an automatic 20% gratuity, and do not like giving receipt when you charge. Go to Mo's saloon, they have more honest and less hassle bartenders. Only the mexican staff have entitlement attitude read more

Went to Whisky River West for a lil coworkers night out and it was funnnnn! Everyone was dancing and we had a great time in the mechanical bull read more

Always fun when friends and good music are involved. The parking lot is full so go early.

If I could give this shithole zero stars I would. Blasting terrible bass boosted music until 2 in the goddamn morning, and the music can be heard from over a mile away. Called the police and they said they couldn't do anything. Not sure what absolute idiot made that rule. Don't go here, don't buy a house within a 3-mile radius of this absolute dump. read more

Fun night! Bartenders were passive but the drinks maintained a consistent taste standard.

The place is AMAZING. Went years for the first time I enjoyed myself. The music, service EXCELLENT. I didn't try the food tho but am Definitely going back read more

Had a great night till I found out I was charged 17$ on my card. Didn't walk a tab or anything when I asked about the charge I was told it'll go back in 4 days. Needless to say it didn't. read more

Yee-haw!! Get those cowboy boots on darlin, its time for a good ol' fashion ho-down! Texas Style. Whiskey River is definitely a cool place to get your dance on. The atmosphere is nice, and on Thursdays they do Latin Night. If you show up early enough, apparently you don't have to pay for the cover, but it looks like you have to do that nonsense online before 10, or some mumbo jumbo. Not to sure, but unfortunately we pulled up at 9pm, and still had to fork over those 10 bucks. No worries, it was absolutely worth it. My girlfriend is from LA, and she was looking for a place that would represent every image she's ever seen of Texas on TV. Whiskey River was the spot. Although we were there on Latin night, the Dj mixed up all types of great music. There were great drink specials, a cool mechanical bull inside, pull tables, and outdoor patio with games and different music bumping as well! The vibes were friendly and fantastic throughout the entire club. There was never a moment where I felt like I need to clutch my purse, or hold on to my boots! Plenty of parking, but the place can get very packed easily! Lots of cool areas to take pictures to flex on the gram. Pretty big place as well, although I hear from the locals, that the OG Whiskey River in Far AS Heck, Texas is much better. No idea, this please was cool! All in all, a fun time. read more

Horribly ran place, security seem to be the only people who do their job correctly. The pregnant manager lady waddles around and solves no one's problems, who hired her?! Bartenders are rude as hell, it literally sobers me up trying to order a drink while getting so much damn attitude from them. Feels to me like Whiskey River is all about a quick cash grab and they couldn't care less about customer service. I think I'll take my business to the new place down the street, seems like a much better option. read more

The only reason I'm giving it 4 starts is because the music is wayyyyy too loud. You will literally go deaf LOL. They played a good mix of all music, threw in some line dances as well! But, overall we had a great time. It did take awhile for people to start asking other people to dance, a lot of parties/birthdays/bottle services going on. I love how they have an area outside to hangout/dance as well, I just wished the "dance floor" outside was better. The bouncers were also SO observant and noticed a creepy guy dancing with my friend making her uncomfortable and he came up to us after to check on her. Definitely made us feel safe as we went out for a girls night, props to y'all for that! read more

This club is overall a really good place to come to if you are looking for diversity, inclusivity and an overall good time. I always enjoy coming here! However, tonight the DJ was quite disappointing. We were outside mostly with DJ Oz and despite his saying that we could request up to five songs to play (of any genre), he chose NOT to play any of the songs that were requested by my niece and her friend. Clearly he was just wanting to get a follow on his social media. It was mostly country music that was playing outside tonight when usually it's a very diverse and eclectic style that is played for the crowd, (even though we normally bounce from outside to inside to get a listen from both DJs). For some strange reason DJ Oz chose to cater to the country music crowd, nothing against country, but I like to hear an all around balanced sound in music whenever it comes to being at a club that way everyone is included. I usually always enjoy myself while I'm there but tonight was kind of a blah time. Whatever night DJ Oz is going to be there, count me out for sure. Other than that the place is very great. I love the ambiance and I love the people and the energy. I love that despite all of the madness in the world, this place creates a space where we ALL can cast away our stresses and just enjoy ourselves in the moment. I love the service and I definitely love the drinks! I did not get the name of the young bartender who serves on the outside of the bar but she is ALWAYS rockin' it with the drinks! . read more

I'm so glad this place opened back up after Covid. The atmosphere is euphoric! They have great music, great food and great drinks! We visited on one of their dinner deal nights and we loved it!! At first it was a bit slow but once it picked up it was buzzing with people laughing, dancing and having a great time. I recommend this place to anyone who loves Country music and wants to dance the night away! They also played Latin music and various genres to satisfy all tastes! read more

Whiskey River West - $12 Thu Special - Country Dance Halls Near Me - Richmond, Texas

Fun spot, but disrespectful outside service, especially one "hostess" in the front wearing glasses and a cowboy hat. He disrespected 2 veterans upon leave tonight, he gave off very much "bully" vibes. When he was lowering the flag, he put it by his crotch and laughed which was very disrespectful. Will we return again? Not sure. read more

Good vibes! Always had a good time here. Definitely coming back. Thursday for Latin night are so good! 10/10 recommend. read more

Whiskey River West - Dancing - Country Dance Halls Near Me - Richmond, Texas

This location is an actual POS, a group of us went for Latin night on Thursday 12/26, when we got there around 9:30pm there was an extremely long line and we were hoping to get in before 10:00. The line was moving E X T R E M E L Y slow, like so slow it was ridiculous. Fast forward way past 10:00pm we're wondering why it was taking too long to get inside and of course part of the reason had to be because they were way over capacity. We stood out there for almost 2 hours at the front of the line and went around to check why it was taking so long to get it and the doors were closed they weren't allowing anyone else inside because they were at max capacity and instead of saying something they were allowing all those people to stand out there waiting for nothing, they were gonna close in line 2 hours and people were still in line waiting to get in. The most ridiculous thing I've ever witnessed, say yall are at max capacity idiots. read more

The music is good, the taco stand is a rip off. They put out a sign for 3,50 per taco. The Hispanic gal told me 14.50. That's 10.50. So where did the extra 4 dollars come from? I asked. The Hispanic gal said it was just in the computer. She couldn't change it. I handed her 15 dollars. She gave me 5 back. I asked where my 50 cents was. She told me they don't have change. Therefore, they have false advertisement and are liars, cheats and thieves. I spoke with a brunette woman who said she was management. This dimwit told me it was tax. WTF. Does she think everyone in the world grew up on liberal common core math. Tax on 10.50 is 87 cents. She is also another one that seems to think people are stupid. Full me once FU on the next ho around won't be back to this SH. . read more

$10 valet, $10 cover after 10pm. People are friendly, will ask you to dance, friendly service. Police are there watching for security and I'm sure dui's. Make sure you don't drink too much. It was a pleasant experience, music was good and had variety. I'll be back read more

The women here are absolutely gorgeous and the music selection isn off the charts. Service is absolutely amazing.

This is literally behind me house. Place was always packed with cars and always wondered what ambiance will pull such a crowd. When I visited for the first time, I understood why. Great place, great music and the vibe is epic read more

Can I get a hell yeah?! (Jumps up and clicks boot heels together) Well.. I have to say.. this place brings back memories. I used to go to the whiskey river-Willowbrook location back in my hay-day.. when I heard they made this location I had to check it out. It was SO much fun two-steppin again.. Even though I have flashbacks of my boots on the ceiling right next to the whiskey river chandelier after a drunk guy decided to flip me and then got upset because i didn't hit the landing properly.. it was still such a fun night! It was packed, they had great music, great atmosphere and a very nice back porch to sit on. Did I also mention there is another dance floor out there too? 2 dance floors! Until next time WR!! read more
