Downstairs, we’re slangin’ classic Americana dishes, specialty cocktails, frozen margaritas, and cold beers, making this the perfect place where cowboys come together. Featuring daily live performances by emerging country artists and the Desert 5 All Stars band. Upstairs, it’s bull rides, strong pours, DJ-spun country, line dancing lessons and a patio built for boot-stompin’ under the stars.
