Red River Dance Hall & Saloon

I have gone plenty when I was 21 now I am 27, I went more as I was younger and just recently went again at 27. They seem to always have a staff and security as being very demanding and rude. I go just for the music and dancing. It's a fun place to just kick back at without issues. But I have experienced the staff and security to be rude to others but the door man taken money I have to agree he is rude. If everyone else is complaining I think the owner or manager should reconsider their staff... I did see more kids in there but we can't avoid that... But the SMOKE is horrible it really burns your eyes and everyone I was with complained at the end of the night how their eyes were burning and how they stunk bad. It's beyond bad the smoke I believe they should band it or keep it outside.... These are just a few things to think about and change and it would be a 5 star club... But the domestic long necks are cheap and music is great. Pros: Reminds me of Urban Cowboy Cons: Staff, Kids and SMOKE!!! more

I only go to country bars and have been to this bar about 3 or 4 times. I am a cowboy and love country people and music. But, this bar is full of azzhole cops that really love the power they have. 2am and time to leave; They announced over the mic last song and turned on the lights. I said to the group I was with ?time to go? and took another drink trying to finish the beer. I then hear ?GET YOUR AZZ MOVING NOW!!? I turn and there is super cop staring right at me. ?I am trying to get them moving? and his reply was ?you are not doing Sh*t, now move your azz?. Keep in mind the bar is full of people but we are the ones he wants to show his junk to. I have never been in trouble with the law in my life but I wanted to break this dude?s face. But, we started moving faster and I hear behind us this cop trying to pick fights with everyone in the bar. Oh and when you go be sure to keep you cams, phones and purses with you at all times because they have stolen them right off the table2 time out of the 4 times I have been. I would suggest going to another place. This place it to red and to many thugs in it including the red neck cops. Pros: Nice Big place Cons: Cops and the type of people that come here. more

I love country music but if you're asian forget about trying to get a drink. Might as well as pack up some drinks in your car or drink before getting into this club because the bartenders will bypass you and serve causasains first. Oh, and they don't accept Government/Millitary ID. They don't care if you just got back from Iraq, all they care about is what color are you. Frickin sad. Pros: Beautiful people Cons: Staff more

i always have a super good time when i go there the bartenders and wait staff are always nice to me... they're only rude to people when they're tolerating an idiot, or an assh*le... so maybe all of the people complaining about the place should look at themselves and re-evaluate their lame personalities. more

I always have fun there except for the smoke! As soon as i get home i have to throw my clothes in the wash because they makes my entire house smell! The door men are extremely rude too! My DL expired one week before i went to RR and i already had my paper one that said all the same info on it. Knowing how freakin rude the door guys are i went to the cop first (who was a friend of a friend) and told him my situation and he called in and confirmed everything! (mind you, i had friends that came to visit me from hours away just to hang out) The cop walked me up to the door and that night the fat man was sitting there on his little stool and pretty much put his nose up to me and was like ""you're not getting in so u might as well leave! "" It was my effin DL! Why the hell would i get a cop involved in a situation, if i was trying to break the law! and that wasnt the first night that they were being a bunch of douches!! So...me and all of my HOT friends took our party elsewhere!! Im not gonna lie...i have been back and had fun but the staff BITES!!!!!!!!!!! Pros: It can be fun if you want it to be! Cons: the stupid staff (excluding pillows!) more

I have lived in the Houston area for about 2 years now and really dont like it!! lol.. but, Red River is a great place to go I know one of the owners ""mickey"" and it is always a pleasure going!! The crowd is outgoing you do not have to worry about making a fool of your self because everyone else is doing the same thing.. The drinks are cheap (beer) and it's a great place to do some dancing.. I think Im giong tonight.. lol.. Pros: Great atmosphere and cheap drinks Cons: The door guys are very rude!! more

Stop complaining about having to go get your drink. stop being lazy. i have been going there for the past 7 years and i have not once had a bad time. if you dont like it then please dont go. lines will be shorter. haha. i hope that place goes forever til i die because i will go til i die more

I've been to Red River a few times now, and I agree with others in that the service is in need of major improvement. I can't get a drink from a bartender whatsoever. If I want a drink, I have to go to the waitress well, wait for a waitress to show up, tell her what I want and stand there and wait for her to go through the line for my drink. And a note to the person who commented about how ALL bars water down their drinks... I have myself bartended in four high-volume night clubs and have NEVER seen this take place. If you know for a fact that it DOES take place, they should be reported to T.A.B.C. and shut down immediately. I doubt if this is really the case at Red River. Pros: Country Music Cons: Young crowd, bad service more

Dollar long necks.....nuff said...My girlfriends and I normally go there on Saturday nights. It doesn't smell like urine and the people aren't bad. I've noticed the uglier your waitress is the better the service is so aim low. Lately the DJ hasn't been paying much attention and nearly every song skips. They just need to fire that guy and it'll be a lot better...over all I like this place. Pros: cheap Cons: stupid dj more

This place is an old fashoined country cowboy bar, enough said. It is every thing a cowboy bar entales and thats it. It is cheap beer, good music, and good company. It is the essence of Texas and Tomball. Do not come here if you are looking for a hoitey toitey affair. This is a fabulous place to boot scoot in the spring/Tomball/ Woodlands area. All of the people who have wrote negative reviews speak from an arragant stand point. I started coming here right after high school and continue to visit even after college when I visit my parents in Houston. This bar is a signature trademark of the area and will serve its purpose many years to come. 5 STARS!!! Pros: Fun everything more

If your looking for the bottom-feeders, low-life's, miscreants, dreggs of society, self-serving walking wastes-of-flesh, and overall losers (which largely inhabit the nearby city of Tomball) assembled under the same roof, then you're search is over!!! The place reeks of urine, cigarettes, and cheap stripper perfume. It deserves nothing more than villification, lamenting of its very existence, and foreboding. It being both ominous and wretched, scandalous and treacherous at the same time. Being locked in a barren white 6X8 room with a candle, 2 Q-tips, a block of velveta, an easy bake oven, a mousetrap, and a dog from Etheopia would be more entertaining than this place. Someone do these poor employees a favor, talk the owner into putting this place out of its misery, and hand him a can full of gas and a handfull of matches, and pray that God gave him the good foresight to insure this landfill beforehand. On the other hand, if you were searching for the finest collection of wasted human beings, do us all a favor as well as yourself, and step inside with them, before he turns the place into an Aggie Bonfire!!! Pros: Is this a serious question Cons: Take your pick more

I don't know where to start. The same as everyone else, if you are on a budget and want cheap drinks go here. Just remember that $1.00 drink will cost you about 20-30 minutes of your time in line. Another positive is the music. They do play a nice assortment of oldies and todays music which is great to dance to. Now for the bad. Everyone in here knows one another. If you are not from Magnolia or Tomball you will feel like an outsider. Average age group is 18-25. The girls in general are attracitve but young and showing more than some of them should; most of which are prolly underage. The guys..... OMG... what a bunch of punks. Older teen and young twenty dudes with baggy jeans, t-shirts, and baseball caps, most of which are worn backwards. On busy nights parking and lines are long. Like one other person mentioned, watch out for elbows. if someone is walking towards you and you dont know them they keep walking like your not even there. The staff is very unfriendly and only cater to their regulars. If your looking for a great mix of music, good times, and a variety of people try Tumbleweed Texas. And yes the price is a little higher. But I live by the philosophy .... YOU GET WHAT YOU PAY FOR!!!! Pros: Cheap drinks if your on a budget Cons: Lousy staff, long lines at the bar, and inconsiderate minors more

First off, David is significantly misinformed on this one. . I've never seen another bar that follows the TABC laws as strictly as this bar does, and I have worked about thirty bars over the past twenty years. If you show them a fake ID, you're probably going to jail. They have books, electronic gadgets, and some experience based approaches to catching people using fake ID's, I mean they actually enjoy catching fakes. more

Red River isn't as Fancy as your downtown clubs. However Mostly everybody in the place knows everybody. The drinks are cheap yes, however there is no way to water down a budlight. As for the mixed drinks yea, but tell me what club doesnt. As far as the staff goes, dont walk in with an attitude and there wont be any problems. For those that have said that the cops dont care. Throw a fist and see how fast the cops get there. However there is just one creepy thing there, a group of guys on the stair case by the girls bathroom, everytime i go there they seem to be there, same 4 or 5 guys. Pros: .75 longnecks, 1.25 well Cons: small dancefloor more

i wanna know who the hell thinks they can get in this place with a fake id and or get in and order drinks or even try to sneak and drink. they have cops workin' doors and i think they know what a fake id looks like. i see it every weekend.. they never let anyone in with a fake id. believe me.. i practically live there. yeah it might seem like i have no life being there thursday, friday and saturday of every week.. but its actually family there. when you have been goin there for 2 years goin on 3.. you tend to know everyone there. but really underage drinking does not happen as much as you think there. ive tried sneakin in the bathroom.. believe me they have people watching those.. and it aint gonna happen. try to drink in the parkin' lot.. they have undercover cops out there too. but its an amazing place and i am about to have my 21st birthday there next month.. and my bachelorette party there as well.. its the best place to meet new friends and dance away your worries. Pros: guaranteed amazing time and new friends Cons: parkin' on busy nights more

I'm laughing really hard at all of the reviews on here. What do you people expect from a bar with cheap drinks in Tomball, for the love of God? Yes, the place is full of drunk backwoods boys, and girls wearing rather minimal clothing. It's a country bar in kind of a backwards part of town! If you want clean bar stools and overpriced martinis, head downtown. Pros: cheap drinks, rowdy atmosphere Cons: crowded more

Let me tell you...if you are someone that is under the age of 21 and have a fake ID, they will let you in, and OH by the way not only let you in, but serve you drinks until you are basically unable to walk...and STILL let you out the door! The state has put a restiction on this for a reason...they have done several things to make sure you can tell a fake ID vs. a real on. Why the club does not have any of this in place or trained its people to know the difference is beyond me. Don't get me wrong, I have been there and have enjoyed the dancing...but also noticed all the people that were underage...but when it comes to making money and the underage people in the bar, there are an incredible amount of people this pertains to! My son left the bar and was served too much and is now in CCU...they will basically let ANYBODY in the door if they are breathing~! They are there to make money, not your normal nightclub that is actually there to make sure people are safe vs. how much they can make and how many people they can get a cover charge for. more

This is the worst place I ever went in. Outside is shoddy, parking lot full of glass, grass overgrown, hwy sign a mess. Rudest staff ever! Of course drinks are cheap theyre watered down so much its worth a quarter! Nothing in this trash but below 21 chicks who need a diaper change. Not a place for anyone over 30 unless they like to ""cruise the playground"". Overcrowded with these KIDS. Staff is rude, the place is a mess. Sure the br's are a mess, its those underage and 21-24 old chicks in their stuffin their bras. I'll never take my friend there again. We heard about it, saw the outside and went ""what a dump"" but gave it a chance. I DONT recommend this hole for anyone. Its like Romper Room with thongs. I'm a decent man, hell I'm all for a little younger, but at 31 trying to get busy with some of these chicks is like statutory!! Its a kids hangout. Hey dont it tell you something when a bar lets in under 21 kids? Its a teen house. Be damned if I want to pick up some split tail that not over 27, 28. Go here if youre into young chicks that will bed you like the express lane. Its all about the money here. They'll let anyone in. If you have any self respect go to Mollys or Big Texas. This dive needs to be closed down. Needs to be reported to the ATF. Oh wait, the cops run the door! ha. Pros: I cant think of one. Drinks cheap but not worth it Cons: filthy, rundown, rude staff, great for a teen thong party about it. more

I love this place!!! drinks are great and the house drinks are better than the name brand. Don't worry about the staff if you are following the rules....they just are watching the ones breaking the rules. Some ppl do things their mom would be ashamed of, like putting siliva on the floor, braking beer bottles, and the bathroom well the deco may not be up to par, but it is usable. The ladies seem to enjoy making a very big mess in there. There is a mixture of age groups and different times of the night. Most of the older crowd comes early and the middle age come well around 9 but after 10 the under 21 crowd shows up. RR can't control who comes and when they come out. Each night is a little different. Pros: bartenders, bouncers, DJ, waitresses Cons: Parking istight when it is packed more

Mixed feelings on this one. Everyone else is right about the manager, owner, staff, and glorified Harris County Security Guard (Deputy Sherriff) at the front door. I've never willingly handed my money over to anyone that responded as rudely as this bunch. The parking lot is shoddy, as are the bathrooms. Come to think of it, the whole place seems shoddy and run down; think of 80's-90's red neck country club styling, like Gilleys in the movie ""Urban Cowboy"". Now imagine it in a severe state of neglect and disrepair and you get a proper idea. I also hate second hand smoke, and since there is either no ventilation system in this place, or it is broken, 30 minutes into the experience my eyes begin to water, and I begin to cough and choke. On the plus side, there are quite a few hotties running aroung the place, and the general concensus is that its easy to take home some local split-tail or dirty-leg from this place. Yes the women are easy and most are fair to above average in the looks department, usually no beer goggles are required. If you have one of the following; good game, good talking skills, chiseled physique, decent payroll, or just a sharp dresser, you should have no problem pulling a piece to take home and beat the brakes off it. Another plus is the drinks. Excellently priced, but be prepared to wait for each drink order. Word to the wise; place double drink orders, and double fist them in order to cut down on drink order waiting time. Pros: Goodlooking, dirty, cheap, easy women, and cheap drinks Cons: horribly rude staff, neglected facility, more
