The Watering Hole Saloon

Cant believe Ive been living in town for two years and didnt know about this joint. An absolute must stop for awesome live music. You should make sure you try this place out when youre ready to dance all night. I highly recommend this dancehall when you are in town.

Visited this place on a Saturday night, and it was crowded. The band sounded good and would have loved to stay longer, but there was just no place to sit. Suggest that you get there early and secure yourself a seat.

Cute bar and great band. I loved watching the people dance.

An absolute must stop on your pub crawl, live music venue, or two-steppin shuffleLocals unite! Live music on weekends. Lots of mature cowboy couples but plenty of younger folks too. Not a college student in sight...at least pre-semester.Much bigger on the inside than it looks on the outside. Great stuff hanging from the ceiling and the walls. Big dancefloor and two bars.

Great place to play a little pool, darts or shuffle board. You can boot-scoot on the dance floor later in the evening. 35-60+ crowed. Check your Ego at the door. Highly recommend.

We really enjoyed it. It was a good space with people in our age group so we didn’t feel out of place. Drinks were well served and reasonably priced. Would return. Cover charge is cash only.

Larger inside than it appears. Nice dance floor and stage.

Great bar, live music for country dancing, shuffle board, billards and an outdoor patio with a BBQ truck! Pet friendly on the patio and a great group of people coming in through the doors. 10/10 reccomend

Great atmosphere and Thursday night is often free dance lessons including line dancing. Great place to meet folks who like dancing and having fun.

We had so much fun! The band was excellent and the beers were cold. It’s a small dance floor but we made it work. Very friendly and low key vibe with excellent dancing opportunities.

Nice neighbor bar to wet you whistle, socialize, shoot a game of pool, play shuffle board, kick your heels up on the dance floor or even enjoy a game of cards.Great place!

Great bands always playing, friendly staff and COLD BEER!

We had the most beautiful night here . Can’t wait to visit again ~

Just got here dont even drink cant even have my own yeti cup to keep a drink cold (dr. Pepper) cuz I dont drink ugh

We had a lot of fun. Be sure to eat before you go cuz sometimes the food truck will close The band was great. It is an older crowd on Thursday but man can they dance.

My husband & I wanted to have a date night, and after dinner we decided to try out this joint. We are from a small town, and just like to kick back.This place was right up our alley being the country folk we are. Everyone seemed friendly, and the servers never let my beer supply run low.The band they had was awesome ! The dancing scene great. We will be back again .

Fun place to dance listen to live music and to relax.

My wife and I enjoy country western dancing on Sunday afternoons (we are not night owls). We checked this place out on their website and decided to try it recently. The folks are very friendly and the dance floor is large. There was plenty of seating. We were overall impressed and plan to return. The crowd is older folks which also fits in with our age group. A++

Most eclectic sports bar in town. If you get bored looking at the surroundings in this place, you have absolutely zero personality.Dejan Que food truck outside has the best brisket in town.

Its a great local place for beer, bands and pool. Mostly locals and 35+ crowd

This place is a Class Act for sure!!! Thank you for allowing us to honor a dearly departed with hosting his Celebration of Life. R.I.P. Bill Vuncannon🙏

The place has a lot of character and is great for live music. It has a nice sized dance floor, pool table and dart boards. Two bars to handle the crowds.

Got there 1 1/2 hour early to get a good seat to watch a friend play. Waste of time because people stood in front of us all night. The sound guy has a booth but insists on standing in front of us as well. So, tall and fat people block the view. It took 15 min to get the bartender to come over to me to close out while serving 5 people who got to the bar after me. I almost just left.It would be hard to get me to go back.

A place to go country western dancing were you find different age groups have a great time. The people working there are kind, friendly, courteous, considerate, helpful, understanding and the owner keeps the place looking nice. Love the atmosphere since there is no smoking and the place always is neat and clean. Please check it our yourself.

What a wonderful party room we were able to use for our event!

I have only been here once, but it was a very great experience. I love the cozy feel inside. The atmosphere is perfect for winding down after a long day/week. I think I will be back here soon!

Place was nice, live music was good. Needs more pool tables, thats the only complaint.

Extreme music bingo and cherry limeade…awesome!

Didnt eat anything, atmosphere, music and service was fantastic.

Great place for a fun night with friends good size not too big. Live music was great tonight!

Great live music, great bartenders, very fun place to pop in any night of the week. There appears to be a regular country western dancing crowd as well, will definitely come back when Ive learned how to do that! Taco truck in the parking lot serves great food late night also.

Got a cold beer. Cool place

Biggest dance floor in New Braunfels, in my opinion. Decent live bands rotate thru here. Bar staff is always friendly. No food here, except some snacks out of a vending machine, except on Fri and Sat nights when they do offer a few quick items. Prices are reasonable.

Unique fun place. Had a great time.

Its my favorite place to hang out. My husband and I used to go regularly to dance to live music. It is an enjoyable experience everytime though because of the variety of people that show up for a good time. And if if the music is loud there is always a place you can hear a conversation of your just trying to hang out.

Love this place. They have karaoke nights..which beings out a lot of great singers. The bartenders are what makes the whole experience that whole much better. So, dont forget to treat them well. But they are great place to come to unwind and let lose or whatever else just as long as it is legal and wont get kicked out of the bar. Lol.

The ladies at the front door were very friendly. The bartenders as well were super friendly. Restroom was in pretty good shape for a super busy night! Prices were pretty good but we just drank beer, even though they had some good specials. Smoking is allowed outside on the patio with your drink. We love going here!

Who goes to a saloon who doesnt like country music and then hates on the place on a review?! lol - this place is cozy! not-to-small, friendly people, cold beer, loud music. if you dont like country go somewhere else. this place is exactly as advertised and fun to hang out at.

Just started checking the place out. Bartender Tara remembered us on just our 2nd visit. Great band rotation. Food truck food was on point

I was only here to shoot some pool with friends. To my surprise there was a live band. It was a cover band but they put on a really good show. The staff was very kind and polite. The drink prices were very reasonable. This venue can hold a big crowd and still not be too packed. There is even food available.They do not require masks. Cant wait to return to have some more good times.

Bar staff Michelle very friendly and helpful

This place is very inviting. Met some great people, bartenders included. The drinks were good and Trey Gonzalez Band had the crowd on their feet. Overall I had a great time. No complaints.

The wait was way too long for the bar. Waited about 30 minutes to close out the tab

Fun place! Large dance floor! Good vibe! Good band

The music and people were great! The dance floor is too small for how many people were there. Hubby and I left after an hour because it was too crowded - had my foot stepped on twice trying to dance :(

The bands are always great. The food is wonderful. So glad the Deja que BBQ truck is there now. And we love dancing there.

My Girlfriend and I visited here on a Saturday night out, the music was good but not to my taste. 80s rock cover songs and hard rock do not fit the music I expected to hear at what is claimed to be a Texas Dancehall. That is just my taste and I know my musical taste is pretty limited. The crowd seemed to be mostly local and not very friendly. The staff was friendly but they seemed to be short handed and a little on the slow side. We will try it again and give it another shot but it will have to be a night when we dont have anything else going on.

A nice place to hear good, and sometimes original country music. But if you cant two-step, watch out. The crowd has no dance etiquette and will run over you. Large crowds, small floor. But the entertainment and facility is first class. Large bar, but didnt use it.

Hubby and I love going here! Its a mixed crowd, and all of the staff are always so friendly! We were there to see LC Rocks, and it was awesome! We usually go on Saturday nights, just as a cheap escape from the hum-drum life of work and teenagers :)

This is a very quaint and fun place to spend an evening. Saturdays is live bands and there is a big enough dance floor so you dont feel crowded. I love that there is seating around the dance floor, b/c I (myself) am a big people watcher. I especially love to watch the older couples holding hands and dancing.The bartenders are very nice and you dont have to wait long to the acknowledged and served; Prices arent bad, either. Its a great place to get away from the big hussle and bussle of the larger clubs and still have a great time dancing, playing pool/darts, or sitting at one of the gaming machines.Oh...and lets not forget...ITS A NON-SMOKING ESTABLISHMENT!!!!

Fantastic venue!!!! Live bands,music to my ears!!! Great dance floor, staff is excellent! A wonderful place to go for a night on the town !!!! Party with a flair for the best time of your life!!! This was my 3rd visit , I will DEFINITELY continue to come back!!!! Thank you for always making the night memorable!!!!!

I would give this 0 stars if it would allow me too! Horrible music and no fun for a holiday weekend. Entrance was cash only! Who carries xash anyway?!? The owner Holly was unprofessional and not welcoming. Dont waste your time. Go to the Hideaway fun atmosphere!

We just love this place! They always have very good live music and a nice big dance floor. Plenty of seating both by the entertainment and also on the quiet side of the bar. Great to play pool on the slow nights

Expensive and I hate country music. Thats all thats allowed to be played. Not fun no more. But I won $2600.00 golf clubs from there. Titleist. Awesome stuff! Better pool sticks. Tables are ok. For pool players. Cue ball sucks on all the tables. Its a dead rock. Lol ok thats my day. Love my NB

Overall a great place for pool, shuffleboard, and of course dancing while listening to a live band like the one we saw Broken Arrow Kyle. Hays county favorite band four years running!!!

Its fun!! So much better now that its smoke free

Quick service with friendly efficiecy. A solid neighborhood bar since I came of drinking age in the late 1980s. It would be beautiful if they had a few local/regional drafts, bit still a solid bar with good prices.

Music was really loud. Not a huge fan. But there were locals not bad for NB. Definitely an older crowd.

Real nice dance and music place.

Its usually really good, but the last time I was in there, one of the bar tenders would take his time waiting on people. After 10mins or more I went to the other bartender and she never got my drink either. Another person waiting in line said, youve been waiting in line a while, let me get you a drink. Then we both proceeded to wait a lot longer.

This place is our favorite place to country dance in New Braunfels . Live music and cold beer. Great honky-tonk atmosphere and hard working bartenders. Allways a good time

Had a great time, live music, good bar staff, the lady at the front door was super sweet! Loved it!

We are a bit older. Weve been to the Watering Hole for the last year and we have enjoyed it every time. Truly enjoy the service we have received at the back bar. Also every band we have heard there has been great.

Fun times, good dance floorn great live band and nice locals. I would visit again on my next visit

Good music, my wife and I go to dance every now and then, but today we had a bad experience; we got in the dance floor and when we came back to our seats that was another couple sitting in our spots and our beers almost full where not there, they said there was no beers there but they didn t even bother to give us our seats. Another thing, there is a sign that says No drinks on dance floor , ok, I will say at least 15 drunk girls showed up, I guess comming from the wurstfest, they were spilling there drinks on the dance floor and bumping on other elderly couples that were dancing. And seemed like staff didnt care at all. Us , we just took off.

Liked this place alot. The only reason I gave it 3 stars is because this place was packed, and me and my group of friends were the ONLY ONES wearing mask. There we no masks in site. The front door says masks required before entry. But when you walk in... Hahaha yea right!

The drinks were excellent and the bar staff were very responsive. Shout out to Corine for the Lemon Drop Martinis my wife loved. We will be back again.

I feel bad for the people who live close to this establishment. The noise at night from the music and people outside probably makes it difficult to get a good nights sleep. The residences were there first and have to deal with a bad neighbor.Im sure the bait shop that the original owner tended (not just a bar with bands) was much quieter. The original owner had a few tables to allow locals to play dominos and have actual conversations. I know because I lived nearby. I also knew the owner (she lived up on Perryman) and she was much more considerate of the noise levels for the surrounding families. Say what you like, some of us lived through the changes.

Its a nice friendly bar. Decent dance floor for concrete. Were there when just 1/2 patrons. Imagine dance floor can get pretty full.

Great crowd of adults, drinks were good and reasonable. The live music was great. Angel the bar tender is the best!

Great saloon with a center bar, plenty of dancing room, internet jukebox, good vibe.

Nice and warm place on a cold night.Cold beer, good drinks and... cool pool tables.Would recommend this place to anyone who enjoys, that Texas saloon type feeling.I will be back

Great place to relax and enjoy your night with friends. Plenty of room for large groups. Lots of tables, large dance floor, laid back atmosphere. Live bands, clean bathrooms, friendly staff.

My daughter was supposed to get married outside in a gazebo and meet with friends after at The Watering Hole. As her day arrived it was pouring down rain. When she went to The Watering Hole to decorate the area she was going to be in she was speaking with the manager. They very graciously offered for her to have the wedding there and saved the day! Thanks again!

Love the Watering Hole great place to go have fun. Love playing their also. Randy Gilliam

Great dance floor one of the best around. Music is allso great. The only down side is the smoke smell if this place ever goes none smoking it will be the most popular place in New Braunfels.

Oys as nice place to be. I keep looking at all the stuff they have on there. Its all interestingBartenders are also nice I just wish the mix drinks would be a little stronger

Free pool on Wed. nights. Great bartenders welcoming feeling as soon as you walk into theplace. Great live bands and most of the time no cover charge.

Always a blast and great music with really good drink specials

Great place to up for drinks. Pool table shuffle board and live sports.

Always a friendly staff good vibe the food Id good and prices are fair I come here alot.

Craphole at its best. Bartenders were non existent at best. Watered down drinks, and double charged for several items on tab. Worst of all was constant snikering among regular patrons mocking my fiance and me for being new commers and not knowing this bars customs. Would not recommend this chithole to anyone unless youre a deranged old drunk or an ignorant youngon who lokes wastimg money.

Did not know they had food

Great staff. Great dance floor. Super service.

This place is awesome. Stage for live music, pool, darts, shuffleboard, Foosball, Dome Hockey, Good Beer Selection But No Taps. Service is always friendly and helpful.

They had Keen Country band tonight. Great entertainment. Great service. Great decor. Pool. Shuffle board, foosball.

First time visitor with my boyfriend. We will definitely be back. Love that yall in force dress code!!!👏👍 enjoyed the band also. Phyllis

I was going to Conways when it first opened. They decided to change and not play a lot of old and new country. Stopped by watering hole one night and they had a great dancing band. Ill be coming here for now on.

Great spot for a cold drink. Plus if you love a snack while having a drink theres someone outside with a food truck!

Love it when there is country bands.Nice dance floor. Very nice staff

We went in for a two step kinda of night. We had a great time.

Great place to have a drink and live music, local bar to go everyday

Nice little club, small dance floor, tables crowded together.

Good place to be on a Thursday and night. Karaoke and dance music. A bartender that knows what she is doing. Clean restrooms. Friendly people.

The Keen Country Band was playing the night we were there and they were awesome. We had to go to the bar to get our own drinks.

Absolutely a great place

This is a great spot to go out and dance and listen to live music as well as just meet up with friends :-)

Rustic bar with character. My wife and friends go here often. Live music at times. Staff is friendly. Definitely recommend.

This place is great. Awsome music, and the staff really works to make sure you have a good night

Steaks where amazing, customer service was spot on. Very large bar with awesome outdoor karaoke.

My favorite place to go and have a beer 🍺

Cold drinks, great specials, good music, and we even went back the next day for some football and food!!

Great band was playing (Monte Good) had a fiddle and a steel guitar. Lots of dancing! Excellent.

Great bar, awesome music.

Tom Teboe and The River City Ramblers band. This band sounds good and plays old style country music.

Doesnt look like much from the outside but if you get inside the whole places seems to open up! The staff is extremely helpful and they have many different options for entertainment.

Get there early to get a seat near the dancefloor..good bar prices

Texas honky tonk with various music venues. Pool tables are old, building pretty run down... But the band they had last weekend was good.

Great band we know...happening crowd, we know some people, met up with many friends..good times !!

Nice place to go and listen to music. The staff are nice and who knows, someone may ask you to dance!!!

First time here and found the place friendly and clean. The band was outstanding.

Service was great...the owner needs to stay in her place...very arrogant,snoody, and rude...other than that this place is great...loved the band and atmosphere...she just tried to implement herself like Jerry Jones god help her...lol

Gorgeous Bar Maids spent my 60th Birthday there the 21st Sept and man i had a good time HIGH LADIES❤

Had a good time there. Kim & her bad habits? I think thats the band that was playing. I really enjoyed them!

Entertainment was not so good. Went back to San Antonio

Its your old fashioned dancehall its a good place to go dance to get that old feeling

SO FAR SO GOOD I ASK A LOT PEOPLE HERE IN TEXAS AND THEY RECOMMEND YOUR PLACE, BUT STILL THIS QUESTION POPS UP, DO YOU PLAY A LOT OF HIP HOP MUSIC ? DO YOU HAVE EVENTS CALLED HIP HOP NIGHT? SOMETHING LIKE I WOULD LOVE TO GO BUT YEAH THIS QUESTION POPS UP. THANK YOU.

Im from the valley and this place has no rivals in the valley, excellent music and plenty of room for dancing

Was there after a wedding recently. Fun bar, live music, cheap drinks. Standard country western watering hole, nothing special, but nothing wrong either.

Kewl place. Lots to look at on their walls. Good entertainment. Small to medium size dance floor. Bathroom was clean.

Great bands, good dance floor, full bar, although it can be too crowded to enjoy dancing some nights.

The best! Music, drinks, management and bartenders.Cant go wrong there!!

We had a great time. Band was excellent. Danced almost every song!

It was dead on the Monday when I had my last day off, but Thursday Karaoke night it was fun.

Always a fun spot to dance and have a few beers.

Great bar. Now with just as good food thanks to Zacks shack.

Great place to dance. Drinks on point. Rick Reyna Band was awesome.

Great 1st night at The Hole for the band. Good variety in the music they played. Bring them back Holly!

Great venue just not for a younger crowd on a Friday night. Maybe great just for 50+ up crowd.

My very favorite C n W dancehall in New Braunfels. They do run specials on their drinks n the whole staff is friendly.

Great spot for live music. Good layout for the different areas. Friendly staff.

Good bands n nice bartenders. nice to see familiar faces when i go there.

Nice place great service good music. I will definitely go again.

It was hot inside and not very inviting. Very nice inside though just need friendlier staff I guess.

Lots of fun! Big dance floor. They even have a couple of craft beer choices!
