Longhorn Ballroom

We went here for New Year’s Eve to see the Old 97’s. This is apparently a very famous live music venue in South Dallas. I looked for information about it online and I could not find anything leading up to the show. As we pulled up, I saw a sign that said cash bar only and that you could bring your own liquor into the show. I brought cash, so that was not a big deal, but it would have been really nice to know about the BYO option for my friends who like liquor. Now once we got inside, we saw the line for beer and it looked really long. The capacity was 2500 people and there were two bars and only like six people working. We stood in line for over an hour to get beers. I bought 12. Once we had beers, the show was very enjoyable. WHoever runs this place should be flogged publicly for being so ill-​equipped for the crowd. I was really mad and I think that a lot of people probably left. The Old 97’s should be embarrassed that they subjected their fans to this.
