A real honky tonk, in the Heights
"Honky tonk" gets used loosely in Houston — usually for a bar with a country playlist. Cattlemen's is the other thing: a purpose-built country western venue, 12,000 square feet, and the first and only dedicated country bar in Houston Heights.
The test is whether the room is built for dancing or just has space where dancing could happen. Here the dance floor is designed for line dancing and country swing, with a professional stage in front of it.
What makes it the real thing
- A mechanical bull, with professional instruction.
- A proper dance floor for line dancing and two-stepping — plus lessons if you need them.
- Live country bands weekly, local and touring, on a professional stage with state-of-the-art sound and lighting.
- A patio with fire pits and outdoor bar service.
- Texas cocktails, local craft beer and premium spirits.
- Multiple bars, VIP sections and table seating across 12,000 square feet.
Before you go
Open Wednesday to Friday from 6 PM and Saturday from noon, until 2 AM. Line-ups change weekly — call (832) 409-7176 to check who's playing, and reserve for a group.
