Houston's rodeo season turns the whole city country for a few weeks in the spring. The grounds are one thing; where you go before and after is another — and the Heights has exactly one dedicated country bar.
Cattlemen's Country Club is a 12,000-square-foot country western venue at 1207 W 20th Street, and it's set up for precisely this crowd: a mechanical bull with professional instruction, line dancing lessons, weekly live country bands on a professional stage, and a patio with fire pits.
What's there
- Mechanical bull, with instruction.
- Large dance floor for line dancing and country swing, plus lessons if you need them.
- Weekly live country bands, local and touring.
