Tin Hall

DO NOT have your wedding reception or any event until the Owner Mark, is no longer the owner. If you want to make sure you get what you are paying for and your money actually goes to what is included in the rental fee, then don’t waste your time having an event here. We paid for security guards, there were none at the event. The DJ was included in the fee but the poor DJ didn’t get paid. Things that we were told would happen, did not. Shady is the only word I can use to describe the whole situation. It is truly unfortunate that this is how behind the scenes are running because the place is a very cool, country venue, with lots of history. Luckily the event turned out okay, thanks to the Manager Mark who had to scrape up workers to be there. I hope things can turn around but until then, it is in your best interest to stay away. It was the most stressful thing for my parents to the point of the week before the event we were thinking we were going to have to find another venue.

A family member recently had her wedding here. It was a cool venue. Upstairs, there was a huge dance floor surrounded by high top tables, a bar, and a stage. I heard they do concerts sometimes. The high ceilings with wooden beams and the creaky stairs give this place some good ol’ Texas charm. It looks like a big white farmhouse/​barn when you drive up from the gravel road, and if you’re not a local, it’s definitely hard to find. One of the things I loved, being a Miami resident, was how inexpensive the drinks were. I’m used to paying $ 7 for a beer and $ 12 for cocktails, so with every drink I had being under $ 4, I was stoked.
Despite the wedding being a total blast, I definitely had some issues with this place. People formed a line across the bar after the wedding, and at first, it looked like the bartender was taking orders down the line. By the time it was my turn, he went across to the other end of the bar to take the orders of the people at the end of the line. Finally, another bartender came and took my drink order. I heard someone ask for a Cosmo, but then change to a glass of wine because the bartender said he didn’t know how to make a Cosmo. Really?! I asked for a Bay Breeze later, and again, the bartender didn’t know how to make it, so I told him what was in it so I didn’t have to drink beer and wine all night. If you’re a bartender, you should know how to make popular cocktails. Period.
One of the bartenders asked me if I wanted to open a tab. I said sure and handed him my credit card. When I returned home to Florida, I checked my bank statements and saw that they had a hold for $ 50 on my card. I’ve seen this happen on cruise ships and at really swanky bars in Miami, but never at a bar in the middle of nowhere serving $ 2 beers. I thought a $ 50 hold was a bit excessive. This annoyed me for two reasons: 1. I was not told by the bartender that there would be a hold on the card. Typically, if the hold is for a larger amount than what is typically spent on a few drinks, I think it’s only right that they tell you before doing it and 2. It was a holiday weekend, so banks were closed Monday, and I had to wait 3 business days for the correct amount to process and the hold to be lifted. Not that I needed that $ 50, but what if I did? I think not being told the amount of the hold before swiping is an issue because I never authorized a $ 50 charge/​hold on my card. I authorized a MUCH smaller amount when I signed my receipt. When I called Tin Hall to ask about it, the guy on the phone told me they’d never had a complaint before and was dismissive with my suggestion to tell people about the hold in the future.
I don’t live in Texas, so I may not ever be back to Tin Hall, but I do think it’s a cool venue for events, but I would recommend hiring your own bar staff if possible.

This place is so cool! Definitely a fantastic venue for wedding receptions. Built in 1890ish, the place is still holding up strong and bursts with Southern character. It reminds me of a plantation, with screen doors and a homey feel.
Up the creaky stairs lives a HUGE old-​school dance floor with a bar in the back and a stage in front. Railings define the dance space and high-​top tables line the perimeters.
The DJ was upbeat and provided some great wedding mix — everything from the Cotton Eyed Joe to 50 Cent to Gary Allan. The bartenders, although being tipped well, weren’t the friendliest folks on the planet.
We danced, sang and ate for four hours straight. The air conditioning pumped so hard that we thankfully never felt stuffy. Parking was also a breeze with an ample lot out front that could fit several hundred cars.
Tin Hall, you’re so sweet-​looking I could just put you on a plate and sop you up with a biscuit!
